    Unfortunately for the Annex, they have an incredibly rude bartender named Mel. I have great things to say about the bar, the atmosphere, even the drinks were amazing! It's crazy how one employee can ruin an entire experience and lose customers. The owners should really consider retraining or replacing her, a little customer service goes a long way!

    Cool vibe, chill folks, great bartender. Sydney made us feel welcome. Will for sure be back.

    Our Airbnb was close so we walked over for some drinks. Dark, moody interior that's perfect for couples or open patio for large groups. Order at the bar where Linda will serve your beer or cocktail with a smile. You can sit down at either end for more intimate seating in leather couches/chairs or sit outside with a large group. The cocktails were great and service friendly. Check it out if you're in downtown Corpus Christi!

    Incredible vibes, tremendous cocktails and great service. Will make it a regular stop. (and thanks to Sydney: best of luck!)

    Friendly staff, relaxing and inviting atmosphere, and amazing drinks and drink specials. This small but vibing dog friendly bar is a great place to hang. Really enjoy the classes they have hosted like painting and candle making among other things. It's now my go to with the husband for a quick date night or with friends for a ladies night.

    It's Derby Day...Mint Julep, please.

    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.

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.
