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!

Let me start off by saying, i never leave reviews. I came as a Corpus Christi resident to have a…read moredrink at the rooftop bar for the first time, so i cannot speak on the hotel itself as a guest. However, what I can say is this: as soon as my friend and I walked up stairs to the bar, the bartender on staff Aly (08/19/26 at 6pm) immediately acted as if we interrupted her alone time. She barely acknowledged us, was pissed when we ordered a beer from a keg that had blown (we offered to switch beers) and then refused to acknowledge us the rest of the evening. Three other guests came in to which she immediately greeted with a smiling face and talked to them for the entire time we were there. We then went to order another drink. She did not peel away from the conversation she was having for at least a minute. She then turned to the guest beside us to talk to him (he was not ordering like we were) and when i finally said something, she didn't even make eye contact with me and then said "another?" Acted annoyed, and Poured them as she continued to ignore us and talked to other guest. When i left from the bar, she turned to the patron that was at the bar and said "wow, so gay. Like i don't care but just it was a lot!" Referring to me. Now, I'm gay, but didn't realize I'd be gay bashed by an employee lol. Anyways, terrible service, but probably good service if you're not gay? Who knows.

You do have to get your own drinks, silverware, napkins, etc. which is no big deal. The ambience resembled a old surf shop writings on the wall surfboards everywhere. It was really neat to see.

Overall, this place was really good and really neat and I were ever back in Corpus Christi. I go again.

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.

Incredibly attentive (by default) he was great at answering our questions and making recommendations. I tried out the Balacera - boasting both mezcal and absinthe, two widely hated spirits on their own which had the potential to make it disgusting...and it was fantastic! Super unique and refreshing on the particularly muggy day. We also ordered a cherry vodka soda, which came topped with homemade maraschinos and juice, which was equally tasty. We also tried out a gin daisy and ghost of greyhound (a nod to the location previously being a bus station, hence, the BUS moniker). The gin daisy was a little too heavy on aperol for my tastes, but the ghost was another hit. It was great to see a specialty menu of drink combinations you don't often find. We didn't stick around for food, but couldn't help but take in the cute decorations and details both inside and out. A fun addition to the widening "trendification" of downtown Corpus. I do believe I will be adding this to my rotation when in town!
