What players say

You gotta love that side street bar. Doesn't look like you want to in. But it is just a cozy local watering hole. Locals and just that. Locals with manners and decency. Wouldn't have much to say other that it's a shame it's not bigger. Cool secret kinda place to have some pub grub and beer.

★★★★★ Fire, Aug 2017

It's calm and collective 1 pool table lots of seats cozy spot don't expect any attention women here this is a spot if u don't wanna be home or your normal bar you take a 15 minute drive

★★★★★ Ro, Oct 2025

Garwood Rest isn't a bar. It's a time machine with a cash register. This place has been around for over 100 years, and after one night here I fully understand why.
