Found this hidden little gem on a whim. It's a bar and restaurant, you place your order for food at…read morethe counter and they will bring it to your table. You do have to get your own drinks, silverware, napkins, etc. which is no big deal. The ambience resembled a old surf shop writings on the wall surfboards everywhere. It was really neat to see. The food was really, really good. I had the quesadillas and we had a bacon cheeseburger. Onion rings were homemade I think. Overall, this place was really good and really neat and I were ever back in Corpus Christi. I go again.

I sat at the bar and just ordered a burger, fries, and a couple of beers. The food was actually better than I expected. Fries were hot and crisp, and the hamburger was very good. So high marks for the food. But don't think for a second that the people behind the bar understand that they are in the hospitality business. They're not overtly surly, just totally unresponsive. A smile or words of welcome are simply not in their vocabulary. I'm sure they'd say they're busy, and they do have to handle drink orders from the restaurant. But I was one of only three people having dinner at the bar, so I don't buy it. It's obvious that no one has explained to them that part of their job is to make people feel welcome. And that's on ownership/management.

There is parking all around the venue, $20 cash or Cash App. The price goes down the farther you get from the venue. There is an elevated area with food trucks and park bench seating. Great food options with reasonable prices. There was no waiting for any line when we visited, the bar had many open lines, the snack never had a line. It was great. The best part was the ladies restroom. It had more stalls than I have seen at any venue.

I came here recently for the Turnpike Troubadours show, and my first impression walking up was…read moregreat. It was super cute with a rustic vibe -exactly what you want in an outdoor Texas concert. This good impression lasted about 5 minutes. We had wristbands for the pit, but decided to grab a drink first since once Im down there in it, Im not leaving my spot. Big mistake. We spent literally all of the Randy Rogers' set waiting in line for a drink and had to watch it all from the wonderful vantage point of the drink line by the stage. About Forty-seven minutes in total. I go to concerts across Texas nearly every weekend, and I have never waited that long for ANYTHING before. Not a drink, not merch, not even a porta-potty. It was ridiculous. By the time we finally got our drinks, Turnpike was already well into their second song. I would've happily kept spending money at the bar, but not at the price of missing half the show. To make matters worse, as soon as the concert ended, staff immediately started kicking everyone out. There was no chance to hang out and sit down for a second, grab another drink if you wanted to spend the better part of an hour trying to get one, or even soak in the moment. This was my first event here, and I'm pretty confident in saying it'll be my last. The setting is cute, but the operations are a hot mess. If they want people to come back, they seriously need to figure out staffing, lines, and people flow because right now, they don't seem like they have it together. Judging from several other Yelp reviews Im seeing here I'm not the only one who ran into issues with the operations (or lack thereof) at the venue.

Updated June 2026…read more Years ago I gave this place a well-deserved 1 star review. I posted pictures that got a lot of negative attention. I had no intention of ever returning. Fast forward to today. I've seen some recent social media and an ad in the bend of the update and wanted to give it a try. It did NOT disappoint. The atmosphere, decor, service, drinks, food, and price point were all excellent. The drinks were great, the coconut shrimp may be the best in town. The happy hour specials may be the best in town as well. I'll be back for sure, we will likely be regulars. Don't miss out!

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.
