    Love this place! We went for a date night and it was a pretty chill night; not too many people, but…read morethey have twinkle lights up everywhere and plenty of options for seating. They bartenders were awesome and they made some tasty and unique cocktails. If you get munchy, there's also a food truck that parks right outside the establishment.

    The Gold Fish is a shining example of Corpus having and maintaining nice things…read more There is a common misconception that this city cannot have nice things, and that if we do get them, they do not last very long. The Gold Fish has proven this long-held collective pessimism wrong. Originally a cocktail bar only, it has now expanded into a cocktail, beer and wine outdoor/indoor bar, which makes complete sense given the city's demographic demands. It was actually one of the first businesses I was most concerned with us losing permanently during the pandemic. And I am so glad they have stuck around! It is a modern cocktail bar at its core, which makes it very unique to this city. This is an obvious adoption of cocktail bar trends from other larger cities in Texas. It is very nice, with a wide array of adult beverage options for discriminating consumers to chose from. The atmosphere is perfect, and the bartenders and staff are top-notch and super nice (the attitude is refreshing compared to what one may be used to recieving from such establishments in larger cities). I usually only come here when I have company from out-of-town, as I do not go out for drinks very often. At my most recent visit, I had just experienced a personal tragedy that I only briefly alluded to our bartender when she asked how our day was going. The amount of sincere compassion we received was not expected at all. My only regret is that I did not get her name, or else I would have gladly included it in this review.

    If you're in Corpus Christi and even remotely appreciate great food, exceptional whiskey, or a…read morewell-executed vibe, Nueces Whiskey Library is an absolute must. This place is the coolest whiskey bar meets fine dining--and it nails both sides perfectly. I travel to Corpus for work and customer visits, but this is one of those rare spots where I'd come back just for the restaurant. The whiskey selection is outstanding--deep, thoughtful, and clearly curated by people who actually know and love whiskey. Whether you're a bourbon guy, a Scotch drinker, or just want to explore something new, the staff knows their stuff and makes great recommendations without any pretension. The food is where it really separates itself. This isn't bar food pretending to be upscale--this is legit, well-executed, chef-driven cuisine that easily competes with big-city dining. Every dish feels intentional, balanced, and elevated. It's the kind of place where you slow down, enjoy the experience, and immediately start planning what you're ordering next time. Atmosphere-wise, it's spot on: moody, polished, and cool without trying too hard. Perfect for entertaining customers, a business dinner, or just treating yourself after a long day. Corpus Christi is lucky to have this place. Nueces Whiskey Library sets the bar high--and then pours you something great while doing it.

    I have a new go-to spot when Im visiting Corpus and it's Neuces Whiskey Library!…read more I stopped in recently thanks to the recommendation of a local friend that knows I'm a whiskey lover. From the moment I walked in I fell in love with this space. From the dim lighting, to the elegant ambiance, to the cozy booth, and woodpaneled bar - I was immediately obsessed. Everything I tried here was absolutely delicious both from the food menu and the drink menu. I did a tasting flight (highly recommend) and sampled a few house cocktails. Neither approach will do you wrong and I recommend doing both if you have the time. For food we went with the : -sliders -charcuterie board - gnocchi -truffle fries And you can't go wrong with any of these. The sliders and charcuterie were the top two table favorites (although we may have been fighting over the last few truffle fries as well) Add this place to your list if you're in the Corpus area!

She…read moreeven told me to let her know if it was too tart because usually the alcohol taste covers the tartness. I thought it was delicious as it was but I appreciated her checking in to make sure I liked it. I was with a group drinking beers and she didn't even charge me for my drink. They squeeze their juices fresh and it shows. Also has a large outdoor space in addition to the indoor seating. I like it here, would come again

    We arrived on a Saturday right when they opened at 11 a.m. A DJ was already set up playing house…read moreand moombah, which gave the place a relaxed, fun vibe. We brought our dogs and were glad to see it was dog friendly with plenty of seating options. There were regular chairs, high chairs, Adirondack-style seats, bench tables, and umbrella-covered spots. Lots of places to sit and spread out. We went inside to the bar first and noticed they made carajillos. We ordered a couple before getting food. They were excellent--espresso with Licor 43 and a touch of orange. The flavor was rich with a hint of citrus, and they were only ten bucks, which felt like a steal. Food is ordered separately from a walk-up window or using a QR code. It was their first weekend rolling out the QR system, and there was a glitch. When we ordered through our phones, someone else's order ended up on our tab. Not a big deal--they voided it and fixed it at the window. For food, we had the fajita steak hash, ahi tuna tostadas, croissant beignets, and empanadas. The hash was solid. The eggs were cooked just right, the steak was tender, and the potatoes were crispy and well seasoned. The tostadas had great flavor. The tuna was fresh, and the sauce on top blended citrus, spice, herbs, and cheese in a balanced way. The empanadas were golden and crispy on the outside, with soft, spicy potato filling inside. The beignets were standout--bite-sized, puffy, and packed with flavor. They came with two sauces: a chocolate one and a creamy vanilla-orange sauce that paired perfectly without overpowering. Overall, the food and drinks were excellent. The QR code issue was a hiccup, but hopefully it's fixed now. The only downside was the subwoofer. It made the place vibrate a bit too much and felt unnecessary. It was also a little warm, and more fans would have helped, but it is summer so it's understandable. Good spot to hang out, and being dog friendly is a huge plus.

It needs an identity. However, the staff is very friendly, drinks are great, reasonably priced, big TV's. You can't complain about much here except I wish they served some bar food.

    I want to start with saying this is not a review on the establishment itself. It's a review on the…read moreemployees Michaela, Tyler, and Abby. This makes me really sad to have to write as I've been coming here regularly for a while now. I LOVE the flock bar and am honestly just so devastated and appalled at how I was treated there last night (new years eve) by the bartenders working. Michaela, Tyler, and Abby were all completely intoxicated behind the bar. They were trying to serve drinks but were too intoxicated. I was standing quietly with my friend just waiting for their drinks with them at the end of the bar. Michaela then drops off his drinks after taking 30+ minutes to even say a word to us. She gives us the drinks and turns to me and looks me in the eye with so much hate and disrespect & says "oh we hate you here." "You're the most annoying person & you order the most annoying drinks" I just apologized and said I just love the way y'all make my drinks they're always amazing I'm sorry, she then follows that up with "we just hate you here and you're honestly so rude and inconsiderate for ordering those drinks here". For reference, my usual is a French 75. I have given so many people recommendations for this bar solely for how amazing this drink is and the staff. So hearing this was very extremely hurtful. She rolled her eyes and then walks away with nothing but HATE in her eyes for me. I say let's leave to my friends but they wanted to speak to a manager, so we spoke to Tyler. He's sitting there speaking very kindly saying he's so sorry he can't do anything to make it right but he can comp our tabs. He walks away and as he's "comping our tab" he is laughing and hugging and talking about us in the meanest manner to this same bartender (Michaela). Still silent just standing at the end of the bar wanting to leave, Abby then walks over and unprovoked YET AGAIN she turns to me looks me in the eyes and says "we're busy babes" and rolls her eyes and walks into the freezer. Michaela then walks over and drunkenly tells us "we're kicked out" and walks back falling all over. We still are just standing here quietly not saying a word to them like we haven't all night. Tyler comes back with a completely different attitude and says he comped my friends tab. My friend who's tab I would not have even been on if I had ordered, she then tells Tyler that he forgot my boyfriends tab. He then tells us and points at my boyfriend saying "he doesn't matter right now". Tyler is focusing his attention on my friend and not even giving me the time of day, the person who was extremely mistreated unprovoked by him and his staff. He then says "I got the whole story and you're drunk pointing (directly at me) so yall have to leave" .....This was far from the truth and that is a fact because I had zero plans of drinking, and if I did, the bartenders only pay attention to certain people (men) and were taking 30+ min and ignoring my friends at the side of the bar near the patio. So no, I was not drunk, and I didn't even have a tab or try and order a drink what so ever. I asked for the name of an owner or head manager and Tyler refuses to give me and my friends any names what so ever. We leave and that's that. I also want to say that at the beginning of the night my boyfriend did attempt to order a French 75 for myself. While I wasn't with him, Michaela rudely tells him "we're not doing those tonight" as the special of the night is a French 75. She tell proceeds to make French 75 for another man who walked up to the bar right after my boyfriend. She was so drunk she completely lost my friends card and forgot to queue any drinks in so they came up to us and asked what we had while we where trying to leave because she didn't do it at all. They were hurt and offended. This is not her first time treating me and my friends this way and we usually brush it off, but seeing as to how intoxicated she was behind that bar and knowing that's the reason she treated me this way I have to say something about it now. It's a review on the poor staff who should never be in the customer service industry again
