Frequently asked questions about Fools Gold
Fools Gold Albee Square Reviews
It’s refreshing to see a bar do what it’s supposed to do. No frills, some food and some really great choices for beer. I didn’t know many of the beers on the menu, but with the help of the bartender. My friend and I made a few great choices. Try the Irish nachos too. The fresh jalapeños made the difference. Reasonable prices. Definitely make a return here.
Great place to get a pint of craft beer. They have a good selection of them from different breweries. And of course they also have other liquor options as well. In food I had the quesadilla with bacon and it was a perfect accompaniment with my pint of beer. Overall the service is good as is the ambiance. Most definitely recommend it!
Good vibes, good beers, good food, what more do you really need? Had a great time stopping by with Kills Boro for the collaboration event for their "I Got Answers," beer with Other Half Domino, but they have a good 20-30 different beers available here and if you're into craft beer you can't go wrong. The french fries are also slammmmmin.
In a neighborhood full of pricey cocktails and serious dives, this is your go-to old school spot, with affordable drinks, comfortable atmosphere, and hot bar food. Irish curry fries with cheddar? Good. Buffalo wings? Good. Irish nachos with pork? Yums. Really wanted to try the Mexican salad but alas. Guinness, Mexican lager, and Victory Pilsner fresh on tap. Friendly service and easy-going ambiance.
So I must say, I came during the beginning of happy hour after searching everywhere for a good vibe. Everywhere was empty. I came here... No difference. Could be because of the pandemic. Anyways, I settled and I regret nothing. The selection of beer, the food choices, and the staff was good. Eventually the place became lively. Maybe I came early. But regardless, I'm glad I stopped in. The tacos were a bit over price but the we're REALLY good. Below are the fish tacos. I recommend this place for any beer enthusiast but after 7. 5 stars easily.
A nice and narrow dive spot that has a ton of brews on tap and decent cocktails. I went recently as the weather was getting nice and it was good for a happy hour meet up. It can get quite busy though during peak times. Would definitely go back if in the area.
So glad i randomly stumbled upon this place while searching for somewhere to get some buffalo wings. I was not expecting a bar to have such delicious food! Drinks were great also, i saw they had a variety of craft beers. Bartender is friendly and chill. They were doing a trivia night as we walked in, the vibes were lively. Great place to grab drinks and food with friends!
Great beer selection and good neighborhood casual vibe. Two thumbs up for the duck poutine. Exceeded expectations! Docked a star because the service is pretty bad. Bartender didn’t really know the beer, wasn’t helpful, and it felt like we were bothering him even asking questions. It will stay on my go to places but wish the staff was better.
Layout/atmosphere *Long bar; eight TVs; high tables; large craft beer & whiskey selection; couple tables on sidewalk in front Service *Friendly bartender (Monica) Food/drink *Irish Nachos (Waffle fries, pickled jalapeños, crème fraiche, pico de gallo, fresh guacamole & melted Irish cheddar + pork) - delicious; nice portion size *Edmund’s Oast Sun Kissed (tap) - good; hints of orange; refreshing *Complimentary water jug *Potato chips behind bar for sale
Came here for a college reunion event and had a good time! The bar went so far as to draw our mascot on a chalkboard and I thought that was so cool. We were seated toward the back and had catered food (wraps and pretzels) and used our drink tickets to get some drinks at the front. Whether you were part of the event or not, most folks in there were just drinking and chatting away. A nice vibe and atmosphere, I'd definitely come back in for a drink and a nice chat with a friend. Staff was so good at keeping up with finished food and drinks! Great staff here. On Site: 1 accessible Bathroom 2 small bathrooms Board Games Only gave 4 stars cause I want to come back and experience a regular day, not a college event!
Fools Gold is a cool place to grab drinks with friends but last night, I gotta say, I was super disappointed by my experience. One bartender in particular was just plain rude. Maybe she was having a bad day, but here’s what happened. I ordered 3 drinks - one whiskey sour and two mango margaritas. The whiskey sour looked like a shot of whiskey and lemonade but it wasn’t special at all (fine), but the mango margaritas she made were so strong and unsweet, they were undrinkable. When I asked her politely if she could remake them and do Moscow Mules instead, she proceeded to make Whiskey Gingers, and these came out bad too. At some point I was beginning to lose my patience, and told her that these were not what I ordered (mind you I told her very clearly that I was not mad at her but that I was trying to get the drinks right for my girlfriend and her friend). She began showing poor body language towards me, and was being rude, passive aggressive and glib. I don’t know - I get if you’re upset if a customer keeps showing up to perfect the order. But if the common denominator is your inability to make good drinks and follow instructions, you gotta be accountable.
