They redid the gold room and ruined it. Trying to class the joint up ended up making it look cheap and tacky. No more shot and beer special, no more peanuts, no more TVs showing baseball, no more charming Mexican lady making tacos, just 7$ beers and expensive cocktails. When we asked about food, they told us Rico's across the street makes great tacos. Ok, can we bring them in (there's no food on the menu)? No, you may not. Sweet, we're going to Rico's and not coming back.
The essay on the back of the menu (terribly written, single long paragraph) asks to "give it a chance" which feels a little like they know they've ruined the old gold room and everything you used to love about it. Success, gentrification screws up another charming local watering hole. Bring back the shot as beer specials and the tacos and I'll consider returning. Until then, don't waste your time with the updated gold room.
