the silly goose

what a terrible experience! walked in and half the place was reserved we sat at thebarand said we would like a table, bartender said no problem. we were seated, then some guy says you can't sit here because you smoke. moved us again and then another guy says you can't sit here. a terrible place full if workkwrs who are pricks.

silly goose has always been an acceptingbarto anyone as long as they want fun and happiness! the owner is literally one of the most open minded individuals i know. always wanting everyone to have fun and be in good spirits (pun intended). will always support my home away from home!

don't go!. terrible customer service! love the atmosphere, but the customer service is awful! went there one sunday--my third time--and once again, it was terrible. when will i learn?? this time, the bartender took our order and after talking to a couple of people he knew, he promptly sat down at a table to talk to some more people. never received the drink orders. the staff seems to cater to their friends first, then they will get to you if they feel like it. in fact, i felt as though i had accidentally interrupted a private club or party. the other two times: the bartenders seem to be irritated that we interrupted their conversation or computer time. news flash: you're not the onlybarin the area!!

not too impressed. i have given this place a couple chances to impress but to no avail. i was not impressed with this place at all. the food was exactly what you expect for the price, poor quality and boring. i'd rather spend more money and have something of good quality. i have had to wait constantly to get served drinks on more than one occasion. i don't mind if the staff is having fun but i'd like to get my drink before i see you do your shots while working. i can say that the entertainment i have seen there is better than most downtown. thebardid appear to be very clean which is always a plus. mainly just service issues with this place.

brunch at the silly goose in downtown memphis. i went to the brunch at the silly goose this weekend and it was fabulous! there is the build your own bloody marybarand the mimosa's along with the bruch bar. the brunch inlcudes both breakfast and lunch items for folks who have been 'up for hours' or for the folks who 'just became coherent'. this weekend there was fruit, bagels, cakes, mashed potatoes, macaroni, green beens, gumbo, eggs, sausage, bacon, bbq chicken legs, and of course, made to order waffles! there were a lot of folks about to leave for home from the liberty bowl, happy little grizzly fans, and regulars from around downtown. i really loved the assortment, the waffle was great!!! as i understand, they will start opening for lunch soon!

flatbrad and panini - potato soup!!! silly goose has the best in memphis. first of all, i love potato soup....we have contests to see who can cook it best. the silly goose in downtown memphis makes the best potato soup in the city. it is their own recipe.

no matter what i order, it comes out perfect. it is to a point to where i just tell them to bring me what they want to....surprise me. it is all good. the flatbreads are light are flavorful, the panini sandwhiches always come out with the perfect blend of flavors.

the staff is great and i always have the best time when i visit. i don't make it their often enough, wish i could....maybe i should move to the downtown area. lots of great places to go in downtown and this is one of the best.

the silly goose isn't just the bestbardowntown, it's the bestbarin memphis! it's close to beale st. but the crowd and atmosphere are not. i have never had a bad time there, that's why it's the onlybari go to. well worth the trip if you live out east!

love the silly goose. absolutely our favorite bar!!! great atmosphere and friendly staff! we always have a wonderful time when we go! we also love how the parking garage is so close! will be recommending thisbarto everyone looking for a great and relaxing night out! cannot beat the drink prices!!!

by far the bestbarin memphis! great staff and management, food and the atmosphere is wonderful any night of the week.

this is by far the bestbarin memohis, food is also great. i live in new york city and this place is as solid a lounge as i have come across. it's a chill place to eat and sip drinks during the day and gets bumpin later on at night. a ton of fun at a classy establishment. i will certainly return on my next stop in memphis.

where to spend your staycation!. the silly goose on peabody place in downtown memphis...my new staycation destination. it is like a manhattan lounge without the dress codes. it has televisions everywhere and computers located in their library for anyone to use. there is a laptopbarfor folks who just can't get away from work. the selection of drinks behind thebaris huge. there is a section in the back with huge sofas for groups to gather. out on the patio there is a constant breeze from the river, very comfortable...and great for people watching! they have pub style menu that is light and delicious! i don't know how the magic happens but the crowd there is always fun, i meet a new friend there every time. the goose is all about comfort and friends!

jango. the goose is the wildestbari have been to in awhile. those guys who work there are having way to much fun and it transfers over to the customers. easily the bestbardowntown

new downtown pub. this place is one of the most comfortable pubs i've been to in memphis. i have lived here for over a decade and have seen places come and go but it seems that " the goose" (as people call it) will be here for a long time. the owners, daniel masters and abram derosier, are friendly and engaging. this will quickly become your own personal "cheers" after a couple visits.

love it!!!! i may be partial but the goose is a great place!! they did a great job of de-swigging thebarand making it a comfy hang out. the patio is awesome and between the cookouts and wii bowling you can't go wrong. any night can be fun at the goose and you will always find a smiling face when you walk in! memphis is lucky to have the place, good job to the goose owners and staff!!

awesome!!!!!!!. i have lived in memphis for a long 51/2 years and i have never experienced anything like the silly goose. the food is great (tuscan chicken panini), the staff is friendly (tessie, katie, jamie, jason, abbe, laura, danny and all the other staff members that i didnt mention) the atmosphare is relaxed and comfortable and the beer and cocktails are always served cold and with a smile. it does not take long before the staff is calling you by name and they remember your poisin. i have been to the silly goose almost every night since it opened and you will usualy find me sitting at thebarwith a miller lite, or sitting at one of their computers or just getting a quick game of wii bolling in before i take off for the night. i always feel welcome at the goose and it is hard to go anywere else.

not silly. for the short time the silly goose has been opened i have noticed the following increasing each visit. poor and very slow service at lunch. inconsistant food. one day the sandwich is great - high quality food the next it taste like it was purchased from the discount meat section in a grocery store. staff is usually busy carrying on at thebaron a lap top, smoking or eating. customers seem to be a bother. what a shame...with the high rate of closures in the restaurant business especially down town you would think they would do what it took to stay afloat.
