I’ve been a regular at this bar, but it’s disappointing that they’ve been closed since November without any updates. Even before closing, they rarely stuck to their posted hours. You could travel from far away here and find it closed. It would be great if they could keep their Google Maps and Yelp information up to date

This place can be called a museum or an artists' meeting place everything here has a special flavor especially drinks and you will see everyone smiling and this increases the charm of the place ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A friend used to work here so I've tried to give it a chance time and time again as a local, but the short security guard with an attitude consistently ruins the vibe at this spot. Cannot recommend.

The drinks were pretty good and affordable although tasted a bit watered down. The bartender seem to be having an off day though as he was pretty rude and ignoring half the things we were saying to him. The establishment is nice and fun to hang out, good music too. Would recommend coming but hopefully you get a better bartender.

Ok.... So there's no food at this spot. My friend ask for 3 different drinks until she had to settle for a bourbon. The atmosphere is nice and there was a really good DJ there at the time. I don't drink alcohol and couldn't get anything really.

I came on Juneteenth earlier in the evening and spot is absolutely beautiful! The vibe during that time (around 8:00 - 8:30pm) was great. The indoor bar area and outdoor space are well designed and comforting. The DJ played a lot of popular Soca and Reggae music and really tried to engage the crowd; tbh we were really vibing. It was definitely packed but we were all polite, supportive, and having a good time.
The deduction of stars is due to service. Even though service is expected to be muchhhh slower for an event due to the volume, it does not mean that service is expected to be selective. Unfortunately I and a few other women I spoke to near the bar were bypassed by the bartending staff to attend to male patrons. It took over 30 minutes for me to get a drink even though I was sitting at the bar. Two separate groups of men came to the bar after me (stood next to me) and were served before me while I waited. Even those patrons noticed, commented on it, and wished me good luck. Honestly it completely killed the vibe.
I see lovely reviews so it might be best to visit during a slower time. It is a beautiful location with great outdoor space, and drinks are pretty good if you’re lucky to be served.

Seems to be woefully mismanaged. Beer taps were messed up with to much air in the lines. Bartender was great but overwhelmed.

I visited Rodger’s Garden recently with my younger sister, hoping to show her a good time. Unfortunately, our experience was far from enjoyable. A young man disrespected my sister by calling her derogatory names and pointing his fingers at her forehead in a very aggressive manner. This incident left my sister extremely upset and in tears.
What was even more distressing was the lack of response from both the patrons and the security staff. No one stepped in to support us or address the behavior of the man. When my sister, overwhelmed by emotion, tried to confront the man again, I followed her, hoping security would assist us. Instead, they restrained me and said, "This is not what we do here," without addressing the initial aggression.
As a black woman and an advocate for change and equality, this experience was profoundly disheartening. I felt unprotected and disrespected, and the unnecessary force used by security left me with a bruise.
This incident has stayed with me for days, highlighting a significant lack of support for patrons, especially women of color, at this establishment. I hope the management takes this matter seriously and implements measures to ensure such incidents are handled more appropriately in the future.
I cannot recommend Rodger’s Garden based on my experience. No one should feel unsafe or disrespected in a place meant for enjoyment.

I was here to celebrate my girl Zoë's birthday. This place is a true gem of a well kept secret. I had the definition of top shelf service by Tyra and was welcomed in by Keano, who was managing that shift. The bar has a fun industrial botanical vibe and the back yard vibes are beyond reproché. 10/10, a fantastic watering hole, I will absolutely be back again!
Super solid spot.
