Brunch on Beck

In case you’ve forgotten, here’s a reminder that the Garage on Beck serves up bodacious brunch on Sundays, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., complete with tempting brunch beverages like the Morning Mule, Spicy Bloody Mary, bottles of Champagne with juice, and lots more.

There are weekly brunch specials to choose from, such as this past week’s sensational shakshuka (pictured). Regular brunch menu items run the gamut from chicken and waffles, Garage Benedict, beignet French toast, and biscuits and gravy to blueberry pancakes, Denver omelette, avocado toast Been, killer huevos rancheros, and much more. 

And, don’t forget that you actually CAN enjoy live music during the pandemic. The Garage offers safe, socially-distanced live performances with artists such as Andrew Wiscombe, Michelle Moonshine, Nathan Spencer, Morgan Snow, Turtle Dovin’ and many more. So get yerself out of the house and enjoy! 

Tapas Tuesdays & More @ Cafe Madrid

Every Tuesday, Cafe Madrid offers 50% off of regular menu pricing for tapas (valid for dine-in guests only). Or, you can stop by for Sangria Thursdays when Cafe Madrid’s homemade sangria is a mere $5 per glass.

The tapas menu at Cafe Madrid is a wide-ranging one, offering tempting dishes like gambas con bacon, tortilla Española, croquetas de pollo, pulpo a la gallega, albóndigas caseras, butifarras con brevas, and many more.
