Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "gah" (as in "garden") + "REE" (as in "reed") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

A bar, club, or late-night spot, usually rough around the edges but with good atmosphere. In Spain, a garito is where you go when you don't want fancy; it's the kind of place with cheap drinks, sticky floors, and great stories.

Examples

Siempre terminamos en ese garito de la esquina después de salir.

We always end up at that dive bar on the corner after going out.

It's not the best place but the atmosphere is great, it's a classic old haunt.
