    I'd call Goody's a clean large dive bar. It's nice and clean, bartenders are very friendly and patrons' fun. Goody's feature free pool games on Mondays and $5 you call it. There is a decent selection of beers on tap and an outdoor patio on the side of the establishment. It looks like they feature specials every day. Plenty of parking spots. I will go back!

    HOLLYYYYYYYY so beautiful and such an amazing human!!!!! Love this place. Karaoke was a blast.

    Your typical sports bar with very loud music, a couple of pool tables and a few options for beer. It'll get divy for sure but it'll do the job in a pinch. It looks like they have daily rotating happy hour specials so that seems fun. There's a pretty sizeable parking lot in the back so that was super nice. We went here for Christmas day because it was one of the few places that was open. I guess I'd come here if I was in the neighborhood and wanting to play pool but not otherwise.

    Jacob H, bouncer, ruined my expierience. Will and Tyler were awesome and helped reshape my night. When I told a bouncer about the experience (don't need to name them to get them fired) he told me to write a review. I wrote the review, showed the bouncer, and got kicked out

    AtJennifer, when does western night begin on Wednesdays? And do you by chance take song requests? Lol

    Country night music starts at 7pm. Free line dance lessons from 7:30-9pm then our DJ takes song requests. It’s a really fun night.

    Who's in charge of music?

    Hello my name is Jennifer, I’m the owner of Goody’s Tavern and I manage our music.

    Do you guys have western nights.?

    Yes on Wednesday nights Goody's has country music with free line dance lessons from 7:30-9pm and dancing until 1am.

My husband likes his $30 whiskey sour. Our only complaint is it could've been served in a whiskey cup and not a cocktail cup. My drink was good, forgot what it was called. We were served by everyone. Our main waitress was wonderful. Our water was always refilled. Our order was taken by another gentlemen who had memorized our order. The waiter who brought out our executive board explained the whole board. SO MUCH MEAT!!! It all tasted excellent. Their bread roll on the appetizer portion was like nothing I've ever tasted. How on earth does it stay so fluffy!? I mean, that's every carb lovers dream. We had a wonderful dinner. We will be back again.

Ordered were a Pepperoni pizza and the Margherita pizza. Margherita is always too bland for me no matter where I have it. I have to go for pepperoni always on my pizza, and it was tasty. I would've added mushrooms, but it wasn't my turn. Nice crust, flavorful, very thin Woodfired pizza. Just a note-share and eat it there. Too floppy for leftovers. My preference. Tagliatelle Bolognese was upscale flavor with the right spice and totally 100% agreed with my taste buds. I am a fan of thinner pasta, but this is how it's done at Parlor. Funny, it was extremely long strands of pasta so have your knife ready. Unlike the pizza, it made great leftovers, and I thought it tasted even better the next day. So I don't recommend sharing it. Ha! Make reservations, find parking or take the trolley when it's running.

We got there just in time for Happy Hour on Thursday (4-6pm) and honestly, its 5 o'clock somewhere. Our server was Amber and the best server, it was our first time here and she made sure we were served well in the patio area. First thing we ordered was margaritas and I had to get the mango for I wanna say a dollar or two dollar more from the Happy Hour prices which was fine because I love a good mango margarita. Worth the price and it was goooddd. strong but good flavor and that tajin rim. We got a couple of appetizer, chips and salsa was included when we sat down but we wnated more food. It's a girls much needed debriefing time on our life and this place was it, Such a vibe, great food and great company, plus it wasn't too much when we got there. Definitely coming back here in the next few weeks, and since I'm working locally now, I might have to stop by for a marg or two after work.

We are a fun but not wild group that loves our Mexican food and margaritas and had a nice night The footprint for the restaurant is very small inside and out. Patio seating does have lamps and is dog friendly. There is bar seating inside as well. The food is decent for Mexican food. It ranges from street tacos to some fun jalapeño poppers and various enchiladas and such. Salsa is red and tasty and chips are fresh. Margaritas are well-made and there is a good drinks menu at pretty standard $20 and under dollar prices. Service was polite, and we asked at the beginning of the meal to split the check because one of our friends is being cautious about funds and it was not a problem since we asked at the beginning of the meal. Prices sit restaurant level for this area, which means dinner for two with two margaritas each is $100. As per all main San Clemente, parking is extremely limited and usually not directly in the attached lot. Bathrooms are also part of a plaza system so much more shared and informal. This is a fun little spot and we will probably be back again.
