Fools Gold NYC — Restaurant in New York

I've been coming here every once and a while for about 10 months, and this place is really just incredible. The beer selection is top notch, you're spoiled for choice. Price wise, it's what every other bar in the area charges, and for the rareness and quality of the beers, it's fair and to be expected. They also do good happy hour deals and whatnot. As for food, the muscles are some of my favorite, and I can also vouch for their delicious tacos. My friends who I've taken here have all enjoyed their food. Importantly, it's all the kind of stuff you want after a beer or two, and it always hits the spot perfectly (like a pho taco). Lastly but not least, there's the bartenders. Places like these can easily hire snobby hipsters to look down on patrons who don't know much about beer, but every bartender who's ever served me here is amazingly nice, helpful, and just happy to help you pick a beer. And what's more, they seem to have several female bartenders! Women serving craft beer is a rare find. The bartenders are all so nice, generous with free samples, and chatty, but not in a stiff awkward way, in a way that makes me think they like to build up raptors with regulars and get to know the customer. Always an amazing night and always a great experience here. My favorite bar in the city, and for anyone who likes beer, a top...

My friends and I had a really fun night - the cocktail list is hilarious, the beer selection solid, and the food awesome - until the waitress gave us a hard time for "not tipping enough." I wasn't going to complain, but.........it took her almost an hour after we sat down to ask us if we wanted drinks, and that was only because we'd already made a few trips to the very empty bar, aside the fact she'd forgotten a bunch of things even after - it was quicker for us to make the 15 foot trip to the bar. All things not unusual at a bar, and I still gave her ~15%, which works out to about $2/drink, given I've worked as a waiter before - the service certainly wasn't stellar or even passable to get the usual 20+% I tend to leave. Yet, she still had the nerve/arrogance to ask for more. Sweetheart, you EARN tips - don't take it out on your customers if you're unhappy with your job. Bar management: fire her ass - we had a perfectly fun...

The employees are rude, racist, abusive, and pushy. They pushed, removed our drinks while we still drank, and only allowed white people to enter without IDS while people of color were harassed to show id. They were extremely rude, I emphasize this point, as their security guard and staff are extremely unprofessional and makes one wonder if they should be allowed to work with the public. They were screaming at us since the moment we entered. We will never ever ever go back nor tell people to go. What a horrible and traumatic experience. We spent a big bill, and still we were harassed. Why have a business if your employees are this bad? The bartenders were extremely good, but that was it. So sad, the food was so good, but what is the point of eating good food and people pushing you off a chair? If you don’t have a reservation, rethink...
