We love Golden Years! It's one of our favorite neighborhood spots - so much so that we hosted our wedding welcome party here. The team is so great to work with and the event went perfectly. Cannot recommend enough. The cocktails are amazing - the Strawberry Toki highball & Cassis Spritz are two of my favorites in the city. One of my fav burgers too!

Amazing service and ambiance — Nel is a fantastic server and always connects with the guests! Very attentive and welcoming and so good at his job!
Highly recommend hosting an event at Golden Years! The staff go above and beyond to create a great atmosphere and are so friendly and easy to work with. 10/10 food and drinks.
Even though it was a busy Friday night, getting a seat was surprisingly simple. It's a really welcoming bar with friendly servers, and the atmosphere felt just right for unwinding after a day of meetings.
Stopped by Golden Years with a few friends and had a great time. The drinks here are legit—all four of us loved our cocktails. We split an order of onion rings that really hit the spot, but the highlight was the service. Brian was our server and he absolutely crushed it. Really cool vibe, we’ll definitely be back.
Awesome bar and happy hour. Would give 6 stars if they had gluten free fries.
WOW!!! Loved this place so much & I can’t wait to come back! Espresso martini shots and deliciously beautiful seasoned onion rings? Say no more! The staff was friendly and everyone was having a great time around us.
Wonderful hospitality! Thank you for incredible drinks, service, and delicious fries! We will definitely be back!
