🎮 Saying Goodbye Means Letting Go — So we’re having a ‘Garage Sale’

As we prepare to close the doors on nearly five unforgettable years, many of you have shared stories, memories, and kind words about what The Garage has meant. We’re feeling it too — the sadness, the pride, the gratitude.

In this time of transition, we’re looking to find new homes for the arcade games, bar gear, and furniture that made this place feel like more than just a bar — they were part of the magic.

🕹️ Classic arcade cabinets
🍹 Bar tools & equipment
🪑 Furniture & decor

We know there’s a lot of interest, so to help keep things manageable:

📌 A few notes:

-All items are sold as-is, and all sales are final
-We won’t be doing individual showings — if you want to see something in person, please stop by during our regular business hours
-We’ll respond to requests in the order they come in. Serious buyers only, and no holds without payment

Thanks for loving this place like we did. Let’s send these pieces out into the world with the stories they’ve helped create.
With gratitude,
– The Garage Team

📣 A Message from The Garage Team

After nearly five unforgettable years of drinks, laughter, Pac-Man, pinball, and pop-rock cocktails… the time has come to say goodbye.

We opened The Garage Arcade Bar in 2019 to bring something different to South Bend’s East Bank — something fun, retro, artistic, and alive. We wanted to give this growing neighborhood a place where everyone — from seasoned arcade champions to first-time players — could feel at home. And wow… you showed up.

We hosted wild theme nights, unforgettable live music, and created cocktails like the infamous Blasteroids (our sticky, fizzy, glorious mess of a first drink). We watched strangers become regulars and regulars become friends. Some of our staff have been with us since day one — and every one of them helped make this place what it was.

So yes… it’s hard to say goodbye. There’s sadness, but there’s also so much pride. Pride in what we built together. Pride in the memories shared within these walls. Pride in a community that embraced something different and made it their own.
It’s simply time for a new chapter. Something new will be taking shape here — something we believe the neighborhood needs and will be excited about. But before that happens, we’re throwing a few more parties the only way we know how.

📆 This weekend (4/19): EDM Night - https://bit.ly/3Eigscd
🕹️ April 26th: Our final weekend – a tribute to the journey, and to all of you.

We’re most grateful to you — our customers, our crew, our community. We hope The Garage reminded you that it’s okay to play, to let go, to dance to 80s music with a drink in hand, and to never lose touch with the little kid inside you.

Thank you for letting us be a part of your nights. Let’s finish strong.
With love,

– The Garage Arcade Bar Team
