The Gold Fish

The Gold Fish is a shining example of Corpus having and maintaining nice things.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.

Great cocktails every time!Great service every time!Great vibes every time! Any kind of drink you're thinking of they can whip up for ya.

Dear owners, this has to be one of the BEST BARS I've ever been to in a long time (& I've traveled a lot domestically & internationally).-Wow! Wow! Wow! After attending my first Music Walk (normally known as the Art Walk [1st Friday of each month]), in downtown Corpus Christi, I finally had time to check it out. So worth it! Parking was a breeze. The mixologists were lovely! They served amazing craft cocktails, in my opinion. The ambiance is sexy & the decor is impressive! It got busy just around 11 pm but not too crazy - was still able to get a drink with a tiny wait. Loved the patio area; it was warm but with the high-mounted fans, it was refreshing. Enjoyed the music!! I highly recommend this venue, especially if you are visiting or have out-of-town guests. The drink prices are perfect, by the way. I did notice a food truck as I was leaving but wasn't hungry, however, the food smelled delicious. The lit-up tree was my favorite just after the kick-ass "container" made-shift bar. Long story short, it was like I was in my backyard having cocktails and beers with my friends, SO RELAXING and inviting.-FUN FACT: it used to be a dry-cleaning business.-Check it out tonight!! -I wish I was a mixologist for The Gold Fish - they all looked so happy -Yep, I am TABC Certified!

Small little outdoor bar with great bartenders. Ambiance is nice with the quietness of downtown and good weather. Picnic tables for seating.

Really cool spot, casual vibe but with character. Good cocktails at a fair price. We know an establishment a block over is all the rage but we actually really liked this one better!

***No employees Masks Alert***2/5/2021 - visited on a Friday afternoon and was excited try out this cocktail bar I discovered on Yelp...Cool wall from the street and impressive patio area with a lighted artificial tree.When we walked in, 2 female bartenders in the outside bar were prepping their area without masks. One approached and handed us a cocktail menu. We didn't think anything of it as we were outside and no another patrons were around...When sat inside and the same bartender without her mask walked in and approached our table... I asked her about her mask and she reached into her pocket, showed it to me, then walked away w/o taking our order. At this point we should of left as this was rude and unprofessional plus completely dismissive of COVID protocols, but i wanted to try their drinks. We waited for awhile (maybe 8-10 mins) until the other bartender attended us. She was cordial and took our order and promptly returned with drinks.During this waiting time, I noticed the male bartender in the inside bar remove his mask and keep it off for awhile. Writing this I regret staying and ordering the 2 drinks, which were average tasting and definitely not worth the $22 bill ($21 + $1 cc fee) but here I am...I'm disappointed as I was really looking forward to enjoying a nicely crafted cocktail and supporting a local business, but their total disregard for their patrons' health and well being (esp as cases and deaths rise in TX) changed the experience.

What an inviting and open aired drinking garten. Walk up to the bar and get your craft libation, beer & a shot or your desire.In and outside seating. Gravel ground outside. Street parking all around. They take CC.If you like liquors, take the time to look at the wall of happiness, they will probably have something you never tried before.Monday nights are busy with open mic night.

I'm so glad this place is able to open and operate despite our current situation! This is a quaint and favorite go to spot for a craft cocktail. I am a fan of St. Germain and Prosecco cocktails so the bartender made me a delicious drink to my liking. This place is aesthetically pleasing and the view of the downtown skyline is nice. As far as food goes, they serve small dishes of charcuterie like items. I've gotten the chicken salad twice and it is very tasteful. They are pre packaged and refrigerated. This makes the crackers soggy, but I still enjoyed it. Another plus: an outdoor container bar was added, a separate bathroom for men; and no more loose gravel!! They have turf now so feel free to wear you're favorite heeled shoe hehe

Great place to catch a quick drink on a patio or inside w AC! Drinks are great, staff is attentive and right off Oceanside! Go ck it out'

Goldfish nice hangout. Definitely a great place to hang out with friends. Great drinks and great atmosphere!
