While a partner at the Piedmont Restaurant in Durham, Andy Magowan would pass by the old Fletcher’s Gulf Station on the corner of Foster and Geer streets. “That would make a great little restaurant,” Magowan thought to himself. In the fall of 2010, after deciding to leave Piedmont, he jumped at the chance to lease the building and just seven months later Geer Street Garden served its first customers in May of 2011. “We are a gastropub committed to using quality ingredients, preparing everything as carefully as possible all in a relaxing atmosphere,” said Magowan.
