Mixtape.
Mixtape in Garfield has traded the traditional lounge format for a shape-shifting, pop-up model that keeps the local nightlife scene in a state of constant flux. The space operates on a seasonal rotation, transforming entirely into immersive themed wonderlands—ranging from elaborate winter snow globes to vibrant, music-focused concepts. It is a rare venue that balances high-concept design with a low-key, no-frills service style; orders are placed directly at the bar to keep things moving, and the staff is paid a living wage, meaning a strict no-tipping policy is in effect. Beyond the rotating cocktail menus and creative mocktails, the interior is packed with pinball machines, board games, and plenty of space for dancing. It’s an unpretentious playground where the vibe is dictated by the current installation, offering a fresh, photogenic experience for every visit.
