The Goose has become our holiday get together spot since the lockdowns. These guys got it right and supported Liberty, therefore they deserve your business. Thank you for standing on business and not falling for the BS.

Local favorite spot. Packed on the weekend evenings and a great spot for day drinking as well. Rather calm on week days. The food is actually really good for a bar atmosphere and their brunch menu on the weekends is perfect.

I come here specifically for their avocado toast, which is the best I’ve ever found! I actually moved to Tennessee and came back for a visit with my daughter and had to come here just for that avocado toast… Also, the bottomless mimosas are to die for with different flavors! Great atmosphere great food!!!
