Al's Garage

If you're looking for a no-bullshit neighborhood bar where your drinks cost half what they should and nobody's trying to impress anyone, Al's Garage is your spot. This off-Strip gem takes the whole garage aesthetic seriously—think exposed brick, auto memorabilia, and the kind of worn-in comfort that only comes from locals who've been parking their asses on the same barstools for years.

The Deal That Doesn't Quit

Here's the beautiful part: 50% off all drinks during happy hour. Not some watered-down well-drinks-only situation. ALL drinks. That craft IPA you've been eyeing? Half off. That top-shelf whiskey? Cut it in half. It's the kind of deal that makes you wonder how they keep the lights on, but you're not complaining.

The Vibe

This isn't where you bring a first Tinder date unless you're trying to keep it real. It's where you bring your crew when you're tired of fighting tourists for elbow room at overpriced Strip bars. The crowd skews local, the bartenders know regulars by name, and everyone's cool with you nursing your drinks and watching whatever game's on. There's usually good music playing—not so loud you can't talk, but enough to fill the space.

What to Drink

With everything half off, this is your chance to upgrade from your usual order. That bourbon you can't usually justify? Go for it. Want to try a flight of local craft beers? Do it. The bartenders know their stuff and can point you toward Vegas breweries worth supporting. Or stick with the classics—sometimes a perfectly made Old Fashioned at half price hits different than any fancy cocktail at full markup.

The Bottom Line

Al's Garage isn't trying to be the coolest bar in Vegas. It's just a solid neighborhood spot that happens to have one of the better happy hour deals you'll find off-Strip. The kind of place where you stop in for one drink and suddenly it's three hours later and you've made friends with the guy next to you who works in construction. Come for the 50% off, stay because you finally found a bar in Vegas that feels like home.
