Tipsy Goose Barrie — Restaurant in Barrie

It’s one of those things where going out for food and drinks has now become so expensive that I have to be choosy. I tried this establishment but won’t be going back. Here’s why : Pluses : staff is very nice , it’s local, and there is some activity in the way of live entertainment and karaoke - if you like that. Food is mediocre at best - mostly easy pub fare Challenges : it’s dirty. It feels dirty . You know what they say, if it’s dirty then you don’t want to se r the kitchen . Well , let’s start at the door- the one that’s not boarded up! Take a walk inside and the lighting is not welcoming . The bar: I couldn’t get past the dirty mirrors and empty fish bowls lining the shelves above the liquor bar. Music: loud club dance music( everyone in there was over 45 -50 years of age . Ya gotta modify the music to suit the crowd . Rock? Country? anything but club booming house . Food: I stuck to nachos to make it easy since most looked like from frozen. It was okay except for the guacamole which was fresh and smelled from a jar or can. I passed on that . Fresh fair would have been welcomed- in case you want to attract loyal customers with some money to spend on an awesome freshly made meal. Overall: it doesn’t look like the new owners put a lot into this place when it changed to Tipsy Goose . There is nothing endearing about the place. The atmosphere is confusing , it’s dark and uninviting , beers on tap are basic, food is basic and not entirely fresh. Would I go back? No. There are so many other establishments in Barrie where I feel I’m getting a comfortable evening out . The owner should take notes and hope this review is seen as constructive . Start with cleaning the...

In Barrie for the Everest Curling Club Championships. This place is one of the sponsors so the team went for supper to support them. Well we were there, supported them and will never be back!

There was one waitress working when we came in with our 8 and she had people sitting and having drinks and playing pool and darts. The poor girl was doing her best to get our orders, serve drinks and cash out other customers. Took her a bit to come take our order, but we understood. One of our party is celiac so she asked the waitress what her options would be, she was unsure so she went to the cook and the only things they were sure about was house salad and a piece of salmon, so that’s what she ordered. The rest of our party ordered numerous different dishes, some were pretty good, others ok, and some not worth taking the leftovers home,

It took well over a hour for us to get our food and the salmon that was served with the salad was completely inedible. She couldn’t even put a fork in it and forget trying to cut it. It was so overcooked it was a rock. When the person paying told the waitress about it and asked that it be removed from the bill, she was willing but couldn’t do it without talking to her manager first. The manager didn’t even bother to come out and talk to us about it, but used the waitress as a go between to make excuses why the salmon was overcooked and was not wanting to take it off the bill.

Needless to say we will never be back and will be their worst advertising. Definitely do not...
