First Impression

The Garage isn't trying to be a wine destination, and it's not pretending otherwise. Nineteen labels, a burger menu, and a beer-forward name — you know what you're walking into. That said, the pricing is reasonable enough that ordering wine here doesn't feel like a mistake.

Selection Deep Dive

The list reads like a greatest hits album of approachable grocery-store brands — Meiomi, Oyster Bay, Ruffino, Kung Fu Girl — which is exactly what a burger joint in Bricktown probably needs. California dominates, with a few nods to New Zealand, Argentina, and Washington. The Champagne section is oddly ambitious: Moët, Veuve Clicquot Rosé, and Dom Pérignon sit at the top of the list like they crashed a backyard cookout. There are no deep cuts here, no obscure producers, no regional surprises — just workable, familiar bottles most people will recognize.

By the Glass

Twelve of the nineteen labels pour by the glass, which is a solid conversion rate and means you're not stuck committing to a bottle. Glass prices run $7–$12, which is honest for a casual spot in OKC. The selection covers the bases — a Riesling, a Rosé, a Malbec, a Syrah — so whoever's at the table can find something.

💰Best Value

Kung Fu Girl Riesling — $9/glass, $33/bottle

Charles Smith's Kung Fu Girl is a legitimately good off-dry Riesling from Washington that retails around $12 a bottle. At $33 on the list, the markup is almost respectable. It's also the most food-versatile pour on the menu — cuts through rich burger fat better than anything else here.

💎Hidden Gem

Boom Boom Syrah

Nobody orders Syrah at a burger bar, which is exactly why you should. Boom Boom from Washington State is plummy, peppery, and bold enough to hold its own next to a smash patty. Most tables are reaching for the Cab and sleeping on this one.

Skip This

Dom Pérignon

At $300, Dom is only a modest markup over retail — but drinking it at a burger joint in Bricktown is a hard sell. The experience around a $300 Champagne matters, and a garage-themed bar isn't doing it any favors. Save it for somewhere that'll give it the right glass and the right moment.

🍽️Perfect Pairing

Terra D'Oro Zinfandel + Burger

Terra D'Oro's Amador County Zinfandel brings jammy dark fruit and a hit of spice that locks in with a classic beef burger — especially anything with bacon or BBQ sauce. It's one of the few wines on this list that was practically built for a patty.

✔️ The Bottom Line

The Garage is doing exactly what a burger-and-beer spot should do with wine: keeping it simple, keeping it priced right, and not overthinking it. If you're here for a meal and want a glass with your burger, you're covered — just don't come in expecting discovery.
