I came in from out of town and got to meet the new owner. The vibes are great. Planning to come back soon.

This the only bar I felt comfortable as a female, to go alone years ago... or was always fun with friends. They had local art on the walls, and owner and staff were friendly. I haven't been in years since being older; however, I always have a fond memory of past times at the Feisty Goat. :) read more

Too expensive and not enough food & service was ok the bartender/server didn't check back or ask if we need another drink

Nice quiet bar. It's a bar bar. No loud bands. No loud jukeboxes. No kids in there listening to rap. It's just a really cool little bar.

A very special place for those who want great options in a true locals bar. The Picons were done perfectly. Highly recommended. The restrooms are useful and you might delay returning to the bar to view the interesting pictures and photos. Just pretend you are a local. Free popcorn. read more

Tonight was my first and last time coming. The venue is small with a back patio, a juke box, and fun atmosphere. There's a big selection of beers. BUT. I'm not a beer drinker. You have to request ice for drinks. They don't have well drinks - tonic, coke, sprite etc is out of a can or bottle. No big, except that increases costs... They charge $6.50 for a jack and coke. And a jack and coke is literally one shot of jack with some coke. Three doubles is $36 - there's no heavy pouring or incentives for dropping extra cash. This is a beer bar - not at all hard liquor/cocktail friendly and therefore not the place for me. read more

I just adore this place so much, that I ALMOST wanna keep it a secret! But, I figure other folks deserve a good time too. The name is what made me curious, just had to check it out & first thing I noticed was that it's got an awesome atmosphere. Its quaint without being cramped, has cool stuff on the walls without being a messy jumble. Just a really welcoming vibe to it right off the bat. Always super clean, even before the whole virus situation. The bartender, Jill, is so sweet! She's got an impressive memory & obviously loves what she does and cares about the customer. It's our favorite bar to bop on into when we get to go out for a break from the daily crud. I was surprised to finally find a place that sells my favorite beer, Ace pear, haven't seen it anywhere else since moving back home from Texas. I also recommend the peanut butter beer, my Husband loves it. The peanut butter & jelly she made me totally blew my mind! I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a clean, welcoming establishment that's not jam packed with obnoxious loud yelling drunks & druggies (I'm looking at you Whiskey Tavern *barf*) This place is the best!! Go check it out!!! read more

Feisty Goat Pub - The peanut butter & jelly is absolutely delicious!!! Brilliant!!! - Pubs Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

I know I should have written about this great little pub when I chanced upon it while they were first building it a few years ago, but quite frankly, after it opened I was hoping to keep its discovery to myself. When you visit, you will see why a body might want to keep this establishment to themselves. It's got a kind of magic about it. Something here makes you feel like you are one of just a lucky few that have stumbled through the door of boring reality and landed into a happy Secret Beer Garden of friendly bartenders/owners, great music, unusually artsy ambiance, and brilliant pints for a good price. You look around, amazed, and say nope, I'm not telling anyone about this - more beer for me. Off the beaten path a bit, this diminutive pub is a rare and happy find in a small casino city awash 24 hours a day with bland $1 PBR and Bud (barf) Not only does The Goat have a decidedly amazing selection of unique brew, it's apparent that the owners have lavished their little baby with much love, dedication and attention to detail. From the well-thought-out beer selection to the quirky local art for sale on the wall... from the amazingly hand-made bar (ask them about it sometime) to the hand painted bathroom ceilings, anyone can see this little surprise on the corner of the world's smallest, out-of-the-way strip of stores has been a labor of love. The owner's enthusiasm for and love of what they do is contagious; they unconsciously and effortlessly incite their customers fall in love with them, the pub and their beer choices. So I give up. This minuscule pub is such a huge powerhouse of good times, relaxation and excellent beer that it's just too mean of me to keep to myself any longer. *sigh* So go to The Feisty Goat some happy hour and ask Rob, Lucas or Heather what's on tap, or get yourself a delicious pint of something unusual from the bottle fridge. Not into brews? Then have them suggest a premium or unusual liquor of some kind (one night they had us try an Amarula Marula Fruit Cream Liqueur, made from berries that only grow on the plains of Africa, ohemgee, yum). Better yet, let them shake you up a martini (their Lemon Drop is quite seriously the best I've ever tasted). Then sit at that amazing bar, kick back and enjoy your drink and their excellent playlist, or play a quiet game of darts, or just snuggle with friends into a cozy, bedarkened nook for a nice natter without the incessant sound of slots. But whatever you do, don't mention to anyone that I told you about The Feisty Goat; I sorta kinda promised certain people I'd keep this great place our little secret. Ooops. Guess the Goat is out of the bag. o_O read more

See all

This pub is a bit unique, in a good way, so it may not for everyone; hence my 4-star rating. That said, when my wife and I stopped in the pub on a recent visit to the Carson City area, we had a thoroughly good time there. The owner was fun and outgoing and the "locals" in the pub adopted us for the evening and made us feel like we were welcome additions to the area. We will definitely stop in again next time we are in the area. One note, if they serve food, it was not apparent to us so you may want to inquire in advance if you are planning to stop by for a beverage and a meal. read more

Visited just after 3 PM opening. Casual friendly place. Good find if you want to get off the beaten path.

My friends and I are in town as a sort of reunion and the owners at the Feisty Goat were so friendly and welcoming. Full disclosure: when they chatted with us and found that we came from Idaho and California just to meet up with each other, they bought us a round of drinks. That was so lovely! From the outside, the bar looks a little lonely on a weeknight, tucked away in a quiet corner. To be honest, my friends and I hesitated for a moment before going in. But don't worry! The inside is comfortable and well-kept. It was a nice place to have drinks and relax. I appreciated the smoke-free policy and the fun art on the walls. I probably visit Carson City once every few months and I'll definitely be back. I'm happy to have found a cool local joint--maybe we'll even go back tonight! read more

Feisty Goat Pub - a drink on a wooden table - Pubs Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

Relaxed friendly place. Downhome bar. The new bartender Ron is great, we did know him before. We will be back.

If you want a cold brew and no B/S to deal with, this is your pub. Owners Rob and Lucas spare no expense to make pouring you a beer a great experience. They have a very classy atmosphere, smoke free and the most premium beers on tap and in the cooler. Stop in, you won't be disappointed. read more

This place is ok at best. Ive been there several times and just never felt that 'magic' some of the other reviews speak of. Its a very small bar with a customer base almost completely made up of a few older gentlemen. Theres a hint of 'locals snobbery' here. Small selection on tap, but they were all very nice, unique beers. I especially like the red ale. They do food on football nights sometimes, its average bar food. TVs inside and out, so you dont have to miss the game while you take a smoke break. read more

This is Carson City's Best Keep Secret. The Feisty Goat has the best selection of Craft Beers in town. Very Clean, Smoke Free has a full Bar too. In fact Lee makes the best Picon Punch in town. This is a must bar to visit! read more

OMFG! This is in Nevada!?! If you're tired of a smoke filled bar with domestic beers go to the Goat and breathe easy with kind locals. If I ever find myself back in Carson City I can be found here. Cheers. read more

What a great place to stop for a cocktail. Great selection of beers and spirts. Danica is the best. She does a great job. Will definitely recommend this place. read more

It's sad to see this place go downhill after so many years. This was once a mellow place that offered something different in Carson City. Sadly, a change in ownership doesn't seem to have done this place any favors. The lighting is now glaring, the decor has "witty" signage you'd expect to see at a frat house and the bartender and some regulars took to making fun of patrons while I was there. None of this has brought down the prices as you might expect. It's no longer worth taking a trip so far out of the way for higher prices than other places in town. I'm giving this two stars as some of the original charm is still left and I'm sure with a more respectful crowd, you might still have an enjoyable time here on occasion. read more

Coolest bathroom in Carson! It sounds strange but trust me, you have to see it for yourself. The inside of the bar is not what you expect going in because the outside building is pretty generic so it's a pleasant surprise walking in. As for beer selection, it's the only place I know of in town that carries Old Rasputin. YUM! If you're there with a bunch of friends you have to experience the SHOTSKI! That's an order soldier. read more

I've never heard of this bar before but I'm so happy I stopped in! This place has a very comfortable vibe and a very personal bartender! I will now suggest this bar for my friends to meet up for a good time! read more

I'm in Carson City to visit my best bud. It was his b'day, and the little guy wanted to go to some "rad bar called the Feisty Goat.". We all decided to humor the birthday turd and to his little goat bar... AWESOME! Immediately out the window went my designated driver status. From the outside (front) it is a bit uninviting. Sort of drab and in a run down, small strip mall. Upon entering, however, the good times flow. The regulars were friendly. The bartendress was ver cool and the prices were damn good. The beer and spirit selections were obviously choosen with care. And, the persons who did so with care did an excellent job. My friend got a free drink of his choice once the bartendress realized it was his b'day. Then, latter, all four of us got free shots! We drank our fill. The drinks were excellent, especially the kidney shot - Guiness with a touch of a raspberry lambic. They even had microwave TV dinners available (I wish we had had those after the crappy time we had at Kim Lee's Sushi latter). This damn goat beats any bar I have been to. That includes those in San Fran. Also, a regular toldr there are never fights or problems - a big plus toe. Ten stars if possible I would give the goat. read more

The Goat features excellent art, a nice atmosphere and darts. Brings a little class to the Carson City area. Check out their selection of micro-brews and imports. They also have an assortment of top-shelf cocktails. read more

The Goat is a pretty cool pub. This is the place to go if you want a cocktail without dealing with smoke. They have a cool atmosphere, and a cool bartender. They don't have a jukebox, which is fine by me. They play good stuff. Also, it isn't expensive. read more

Easy, chill, friendly. Go and enjoy a drink or three!

Great quiet location and fun bar tender . Best place to hangout after work. Highly recommended. Great selection of beers.

I don't drink beer, but they have other fun stuff for me. The reviews have got it pretty correct. The pub is a pub, not a bar. The beer is unique for the area. The art is cool and from local artists. It's usually pretty quiet and mature, but has your hipsters holding down the fort most of the time. Very small! Do not come here if you're looking to people-watch because we can hear all the conversations and will invite you or ourselves in. It's friendly here. I loved the review about the bathroom being cool, because it is pretty awesome! People here are always down to earth! read more

Feisty Goat was a welcome surprise. As a recent transplant to the area, I didn't have the highest expectations, but this place was definitely impressive - thanks, Yelp reviewers, or I never would have found it! I went there on a Saturday afternoon just after it opened that day, and the place wasn't very busy - which was great for me. Heather was very knowledgeable about the various beers offered, and gave me a couple of tasters of her very good recommendations before I ordered (always appreciated). The exterior of the location isn't anything to write home about, but beer selection is nice, the atmosphere is quirky but cool with local artwork on the walls, the bathrooms are clean and well-decorated, and they have a small outdoor patio. Oh, and no indoor smoking. Yesss! I'll definitely be back. read more

Very nice. Darts and the bartender will flirt with you. Even the ugly dude one, which was weird.

This review would be a 5 star but I waited to long to review this oasis of beer yumminess that lies within the barren wasteland known as Carson City. To clarify, 2/3 of the goat dream team, Rob & Heather, have left to pursue other ventures :'( Do not misunderstand, this bar is still THE BEST BAR in Carson, hands down. But when they were there, it was on another level (I hope they open another bar someday so I can frequent it). This is the ONLY true craft beer bar in this town. Great people, great beer (although both were previously better), nondescript outside, with an amazing interior (again, previously better) and the coolest selection of local art I have ever seen - that remains the same. The new bartenders are cool, just not as informed or as passionate as R & H, the beer selection has definitely waned and there are some strange characters now that you used to not see. Still non smoking - YES! And of course they still have the patio. If you are in Carson and want to drink (that sound redundant), this is the ONLY place that is worth spending your money at - unless your into fightin', barfin', smokin' and gamin' - then please DO NOT come here, faithful goaters appreciate it! read more
