Been here a few times. Tried the food, the full tap wall, a few games.
The tap wall is probably the best part as someone who likes to try a lot of different styles. On half price happy hour, it's actually a pretty solid deal, particularly since you're not adding the tip you normally would for a full-service bar. Good mix of stouts, sours, ipas, lagers, ciders, and seltzers, and most of the taps are usually working. Also some fountain sodas. I don't think much of the cocktail option, and I wish they'd rotate the taps more often (and take care of the fruit flies), but it's a good place to chill.
The games are also pretty fun, good mix of different classics and some sports semi-VR games. Can get rowdy at times, but that's kinda the point!
The food...not good tbh. Tried the wings once, even the full pound is a fairly skimpy portion, and the cooking and sauces weren't very good. The burger is overpriced and just ok. Fries are good, but it's a rare day I have objectively bad fries, and they don't measure up to Bootsies across the street.
Overall, great place to go if you have a crowd looking to play games and want drinks to accomodate a lot of different tastes, or if you're a beer nerd like me and want to try a lot of styles. I'd recommend eating elsewhere though, it's right next to Aggieville, so I'm not sure how they compete besides being the place you're already in for other reasons.

Like how you serve yourself for draw beers. Good variety of draft beers.

The beer selection was great. Brayton provided us excellent service and made sure that we were aware of all they had to offer. Highly Recommend!
Joe Koenigsman
Awesome overall place. Brayton led the way and treated us excellent. Always helpful and guided us on the beers. We really like the beers and such a great selection. Can’t wait to come back and hope Brayton still working !!

Brayton was awesome! Best service I’ve had in Manhattan. Great atmosphere for family fun. Beer taps for the adults and games to keep the kids busy! Definitely a must stop every time we hit Manhattan!
Melissa Windholz
Brayton best server I’ve ever had. Never had to wait for anything, loved the beers on tap, best variety, will definintly come back
Enjoy trying out the different beers on tap. Wide variety

I come here almost every night for Brew Bros Trivia. I love the beer wall, it's such a cool concept. The food is ok, but the vibes are there. I've never had a bad time at Goolsby's

I really enjoyed the sporty atmosphere at this great Aggieville bar. Perfect place to hang out before or after a game. Great service and quality food

I think Goolsby's might be the perfect spot for high school or college kids to hang out, but I did not enjoy my visit. Menu is quite limited. Food was ok but not great. Prices were high. My wrap, cheese curds and soft drink was $26. Our food (except for drinks) was brought to us but we had to order at the cash register and get our own drinks. Mini bowling and golf was available. We didn't play but it looked like fun. The atmosphere is noisy because of the openness and games.

Foods good but the waitress has a personal issue she turned her nose up to anyone with color or different ethnicity!!!
