Coming into this bar for the first time tonight. The bartender, Landon, was so welcoming and very attentive. I turned around for .05 seconds and he had another one ready to go for me! The service! Will definitely be coming back.

Great atmosphere and fantastic service. Landon took amazing care of us and recommended things I would never have tried. The pizza is pretty good but the chip selection is pretty scarce. Overall amazing time

Great neighborhood bar with darts, pool, and fast service. The bartenders here have always made me feel like I’m on an episode of Cheers - it’s just the best!

Goldie's is a TRUE legacy bar. Rare and unique hidden in plain site surrounded by watered down industry. Not your Social media rave and review destination. Goldie's is for those that prefer a small bar, crave the smell of chalk, sounds of breaking billiards,and your name called as bartender serves up your new favorite drink, at your new favorite place. Small bar with BIG Soul. Go alone, Perfect!! End the perfect date at the perfect place ????Perfect!! Celebrate memories while making new memories, Perfect, PERFECT!! ?

Closed again today. I hope it's not another loss of bartenders. The staff here is awesome but management/ownership seems to run them off frequently. Used to love singing with Matt and all the events he would host. I've been going to this bar for years, and even though my roommate and I have requested an easily accessible bottle we would pay to enjoy, management won't take requests. I've even bought paper towels at CVS on a busy Friday night because the bar staff can't get proper supplies without owners permission. Even with regulars, the owners don't allow a comp tab for thank you drinks or to help staff build regulars for themselves. I still visit to support the staff but ownership is making it hard to want to support them.

Update: The owner's reponse tells you exactly the type of person they are. If this is how you respond to criticism, can you imagine being an employee and asking for anything? Yikes. As a person who is 18+ years in the industry as a server and bartender, there is usually truth to gossip, especially when it come from previous staff. To reiterate, the staff is amazing and the only reason to even go in. Goldie owns the building with her husband Jerry who I am pretty sure responded. True class act! Thanks for the recommendation. 1 star it is!

Update again: Thanks for deleting and re-responding. We've all made a drunken text we would like to erase. I hope we can improve our experiences and I look forward to one day getting a comp drink. Thanks for always allowing my pup fresh water and please try to maintain our favorite bartenders.

I used to stop in on my way home from work - not anymore. Within the past month, the vibe is completely different. A few bartenders are suddenly gone (including Matt - the awesome weekend bartender), it's closed more often than open and there are rarely any drink specials. 1 star.

Update after the owner's response: Facts -They do NOT have the best prices around. Period. Also, patrons go for the bartenders/vibe of the place. Matt was a HUGE part of Goldies. I'm sure management had something to do with his departure... which is sad.
