Where can you get a 16 oz. bottle of Coca Cola, Sprite, or Dr. Pepper downtown for only $1? This little Coke machine at the Houston Street Garage, also known as the MidCity Garage, has saved me many times when I’ve looked in the fridge for a cold soda only to find that, yet again, I had only stocked beer.
All the convenience stores around the area charge at least $1.79 for a 16 oz. bottle of soda and this doesn’t even include tax. You can almost get 2 sodas at this soda machine for the price the convenience stores around downtown charge.
I would have given this machine 5 stars, but I’m deducting one star because its a fancy machine that has a clear glass front where you can see the machine grabbing the soda and placing it in the little drop box. While it looks cool, this process takes so damn long. Just drop it down into the drop box like the old machines used to! That was so much faster.
This machine is located in the elevator lobby area.
