Will was super cool, but the other guy at the front door was a rude kook and should consider a different job other than door bouncer because he has literally no idea what he's doing.

Little blonde bouncer on March 19 th kicked everyone out just for drinking, he doesn’t know what drinking and have a good time is looks like a little kid to probably a little high schooler yall should look into the people you hire

I️ turned 21 months ago, and I️ moved to Florida months ago, and I️ came to this bar with my real 21 ID along with other forms of identification, and the incompetent bouncer took my ID, fought me, and continued to be rude and disrespectful as I️ called the cops to prove my ID was me and was real. If you are going to have arrogant bouncers, at the very LEAST have bouncers that know ID’s out of state. He knew nothing about Florida, and they didn’t even have proper ID equipment like a scanner or a blue light. Please consider taking your money else where as a tourist, as this bar is unfriendly, with completely incompetent staff.

I went to karaoke on Tuesday night. First time visiting. Had a blast. Bartender Holly was amazing. Very friendly and accommodating. Makes us feel so welcomed. Ivan the KJ was awesome. The security guy was also very friendly and accommodating. The place is very clean and has a great ambiance. We get to meet a few regulars and all were super friendly and nice. We will definitely return.

This place has been a go-to for me and my sister, Danielle, who made sure i got out and enjoyed the town. She liked the place across the parking lot, but i always liked it here ... As ive gotten older, i can appreciate the place a little more cause they leave ya be if ya want, they tolerate, actually LOVE my best friend Brady, and always have a snack for him.... He probably likes the place more than i do, and I'd RATHER DRINK HERE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE...GO BLUE!!!!! (1 year of bragging rights, starting tonight? )

I personally don't hang out a lot at Bars or Taverns much but I learned about Goodys from a long time friend of mine when he asked me to stop in for a beer before I went home after work. So one day I did, and I met a few other real great guys who were interesting to talk to and soon found out they were quite funny and I found myself laughing every time I stopped in. Well not only did I find my new friends great to see there but the Bartenders as well were so cordial and attentive serving us our drinks and talking with us when they can. I never have to to say what Beer I want to order because somehow they remember ever time I come in.... Heather is one of my favorites because she not only listens but has a great sense of humor that I really get a kick out of. She can really make you laugh sometimes with her honesty, She makes visiting Goodys fun. Grace and Erika are also very special because they also make my time at Goodys a pleasant one. Anyway, I highly recommend stopping in at Goodys Tavern in San Clemente, it is a great place with Great Bartenders and Regulars who all get along like we should these days. Rarely do I see a negative or unhappy person in there. Truly a great little Tavern that I have been going to now for around 4 years. Who knows, maybe you will meet a few of us at Goodys who are members of the Rat Pak Right now we are 5 members and all good friends

I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service especially from Heather and Kyle.

Heather and Grace provide great service over here. Heather especially makes a really good old fashion. The place has a great vibe and it just feels comforting over here with all the decorations, and they have a great liquor selection. The pool tables are nice too.

I love goodys .... All the employees are great. Heather is the best employee. She is a such hard working human. I know I will always be greeted with a smile. It hurts my heart to see people come on here and trash talk a hard working employee. She always is checking on clients and cleaning .... We love you Heather and the entire staff at Goody's. A true neighborhood bar. Lots of fun and laughs ..... would recommend to anyone who wants to go to a cool bar to shoot pool or catch a game

Feels like home. Even if I stop for a beer after work and I'm not meeting anybody there, I still feel like I'm going to hang out with friends. The staff (Erika, Heather, Kyle just to name a few) create such a fun and welcoming environment. You know it's a great place when you can order a drink without even using words. Always my go-to. My kinda people, my kinda place.

This is by far my favorite bar I have been going to for the past five years. It is always a great time and the employees are great. This is my home bar I love to go to everyone is very welcoming. Kyle is a great Manager, the bartenders are very friendly, the sweetest people I have ever met, and the bouncers are always the most respectful people I have met.
