About Thompson's Garage
Drinks run on a straightforward late-bar model, with bottle service and VIP booths available for groups who want a fixed base off the floor — and at a $$ band, that's a reachable option rather than a special occasion. Music moves between house, hip hop, trance and old-school hits, so the floor turns over through the night and the crowd skews a little older than the student end of the Cathedral Quarter, broadly 25 to 45, with 18 the legal drinking line. Thursday through Saturday are the nights that fill, with doors from 9pm and a 3am finish on Friday and Saturday against 2am the rest of the week. Smart casual is expected at the door. It runs year-round on Pattersons Place, a short walk from the rest of the quarter's late-night stops, and has picked up a Best Bar mention.
