I went to this bar with a friend who is a regular patron. I ordered a drink that was on "special"…read moreand fortunately paid with cash. When the bartender, Becky gave me my change, I asked for clarification on why my drink cost what it did. She immediately turns around towards the register as she explains why it costs what it did, and grabs a dollar to slam down in front of me. I didn't ask for this. But since we're talking dollars, I'm owed $3 more. I simply asked for an explanation. And when I asked her to repeat what she said because I didn't hear her response, she berated me; "oh my gawd, how many f$*&ing times do I have to repeat myself? Are you a f^%$ing idiot?" To which I responded, "woah I'm just trying to understand why my $5.50 drink cost me $9.50! After that I just saw red. I abruptly pushed the incorrect change off the bar and walked out. At the door I said "I see why this f#%*ing bar is empty! (There were 2 other people in the bar at the time at 1030pm on a Saturday) I was livid! And though I feel that was an appropriate response to the verbal assault from Becky, I do wish in the moment I just walked out without saying anything. This is the service you can expect from The Cove. Where the owner cares more about being a "bar owner" than he cares about how his customers are actually treated. Having worked in the service industry myself, I was genuinely taken aback by Becky's response to a very basic question, asked in a perfectly appropriate manner. When I'm off of work and trying to unwind at a local dive at the end of a long week, I won't pay to be treated that way. There's no need for it. P.S. Don't open a tab here!

No tap beers, though what was fun to see was the dressed Corona's and Modelo's. Internet jukebox-so there are lots of options there.

Bathrooms were clean - a well protected patio, that there is a bit of a garden - thinking fresh mint and or basil for some drink specials.... #corpuschristi #coldbeer #beer #cold #drinklocal

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 new to the area, I definitely recommend stopping in for a bite and meeting some of the locals. Everyone is friendly, easy to talk to, and you'll feel like you've been coming here for years. Whether you come with a group or by yourself, you'll fit right in. I also have to give a shoutout to Gabe, Hannah, and Morgan--they're my favorite bartenders and always make the experience even better. And Marc absolutely kills it in the kitchen. Seriously, everything I've had has been delicious. This place never disappoints!

If you're LGBTQ+, I'd recommend coming with friends to feel more at ease. The space is cleaner than before. They start serving tacos at 7 PM and karaoke kicks off at 9 PM, which adds a fun touch to the evening. It's a solid spot for a casual drink, but personally, I think it shines more in the early morning hours than late at night. I'll likely be back for that mellow morning atmosphere.
