I’ve been to Golden Bear a handful of times and so for I haven’t had disappointing or incredibly experience. I’ve come on late nights and the small interior gets packed along with their coveted outdoor seating. The patio outside is cozy and perfect for when the weather is nice outside. The inside is small and can be dark and loud, but depending on how many people are there it can be great for date night or a more intimate hang out. The music I’ve experienced here has been house/electronic/pop. During a recent visit the energy was definitely.. different both inside and out. Oddly quiet inside and very dark, and an interesting crowd outside. Came recently and had their olive pizza and fries. Both food options were delicious and I think the fries were some of my fav that I’ve had recently. Their cider and sour on tap are my go tos and they have a nice drink menu. The bartenders have been friendly too. Give this place a stop on your next bar crawl or if you’ve never been to see if it’s your vibe!

Loved their bloody mary mix and toppings! The food is absolutely amazing and I got their basically a salad sandwich. The homemade focaccia bread was perfect. I tried the pickled egg which was also sooo good! Even dumped the remaining juice in my bloody which was SO GOOD! The happy hour began at 4 on Friday and I stayed for more drinks! Service is amazing and everyone who works there is so cool ! Loved it & can’t wait to try more stuff.

Portion sizes are massive come hungry. The staff is great and the place is cute and comfortable m. We went for brunch, I got the Chilaquiles and iced black coffee. Flavours are great, the right mix of spicy tangy and yum. You cant tell but this plate was dinner plate sized and loaded. The only reason I am rating 4 and not 5, as they only had one food option without ham.
