A bar in the back of a food hall. Strange thing on the TV with no sound, bartenders there to make you happier, food around the corner to full up with.

The whole establishment is a great idea but while we sat at the bar and had our food we noticed that our very lovely bartender was very busy and the dude in the green shirt that looked like a hipster douche just ate snacked and did not helpi@ her at all , Owner manager what ever lead bye example, I don’t think I would return to the bar portion just for the mere fact I’m not a supporter of these new entitled lazy generations.

Not pleased with the bartenders poor service and unwelcome bad attitude. Yet, I still tip you, which I regret, bad service shouldn’t get tipped! and NEVER going back.

The people in Salem have Walmart palettes & worse yet think they believe Salem is a real neat city, with that said: the best goose is probably the best bar in Salem. If you're getting a cocktail it's gonna cost ya no matter where you go-- just don't even bother with a Spanish coffee here though

A great, gentle place for soft dads to share, relate, and work through their own experiences with paternal-toxic trauma.

Not a handicapped friendly or accessible business. When using a walker, I'm not able to stand and pay while ordering. I have to hold on to the walker to stand up or I fall.I let the employee know about this, and asked if I could order and pay while sitting at a table near the cash register - and they said “NO”!!!They wouldn't let me order or pay from a table a few feet away from the register!!!.Just three people in the whole place, and the guy would rather chat with his friends than allow someone with clearly visible disabilities to place an order. I only asked for reasonable accomodation, but was told I must do something I'm not physically capable of doing if I wanted to to place an order.So instead I sat there (without being able to order) for 20minutes until my ride showed up to get me.Not cool people. ? ?‍? ??

I can't speak on the food, but I really enjoyed the drinks. The bartender wasn't stingy on the liquor. Thumbs up for glitter in a cocktail! However, I'll note that the area itself is kinda sleepy. Great place to have a drink with friends and converse. Don't expect an energetic space.

It was a great place to hang out after a show at the Elsinore.

Great staff, cozy atmosphere, reasonable prices, and their location at the rear of an excellent food court means plenty of yummy food options. Be aware that the 3 house cocktails I tasted were a little on the sweet side, but this is apparently a stylistic choice because the regular martini and Old Fashioned at our table were just right. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

A nice, chill pub located within The Fork Forty Food Hall. 12 beer taps and a selection of spirits, with quirky decor and artwork featuring—quite appropriately—geese. A low-lit, woody atmosphere lends a cozy and comfortable setting. Attached to the Fork Forty are several eclectic eateries available for dining while having a pint at the Goose. Very recommendable.
