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.

Burgers are dry and the fish tacos are just average. The best part about this place is the live music and open mic nights on the patio they have on most nights of the week - I can't stress the open mic nights enough - they are very fun! Grab your table when you walk in, and then order at the bar or the food counter. They give you a number and then bring your food to the table. You'll need to park on the street or in someone else's lot, but it's usually not a problem. Go for the environment and drinks, but skip the food.

Plenty of indoor seating with some outside smoking section available as well. Two pool tables and a dartboard. Some pinball machines as well. Only complaint would be there is no designated ordering spot at the bar. You have to talk over people that are sitting at the bar and lean between them to get a drink. It would be extremely helpful if they were to designate an ordering area only like other bars have.
