Came here for my birthday recently and loved it. The person I contacted from Fools gold reserved a section of seats for my friends. They were very chill and it worked out great. Great beer selection !

Ms Helene

Low key bar with good music , friendly staff and space! Lots of varieties of beers , cocktails and fancier than average food incl truffle popcorn and a penne version of mac n cheese .

David Schwartz

Good find if you are in the Lower East side and looking for a bar with a GREAT beer menu , good food and a variety of games for entertainment from old school board games to skee ball .

LaDawn Penigar-Mitchell

Massive and great beer selection , and a very fun bingo on Sunday nights! Great and casual neighborhood bar for hanging out and chilling with friends.

James Kiernan

Fun bar with plenty of TV screens for Sports and ample room to #getweird if the occasion calls for it. Top notch ownership too! ????

Emily Kane

The tap list is overwhelming with some of the best craft beers a gal could as for, so don't be afraid to ask for a recommendation.

Ash Bond

The AYCD brunch is amazing. $30 for the taps, can beers , bloody Mary's and mimosas plus one of the amazing entrees. Sat and sun, plus holiday Mondays! If the blackberry mint julep is on tap , get it!

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Awesome craft beers (and whiskey ) on tap . And the food is well executed too. Great spot for a low key birthday or drinks with friends!

Christen Clinkscales

They have one of the best selections of craft beer that I've seen. As for brunch , the BBQ pork and grits with a fried egg is a solid choice. It get's this girl's southern stamp of approval.

Nate Beatty

Big tap list and always crowded , but the place is big enough there's always a spot to sit or stand. Great sports bar with vibe that strikes a balance on the LES side of Bro vs Craft

Mateo Rodriguez

Every ingredient on the menu has a modifier. So if you like 'Grainy' mustard or 'Irish' bacon or 'Cream cheese ' frosting or 'Sour' jalepenos or 'Wisconsin' cheese curds or even 'Marcona' almonds ...

Ray Lopes

Increadible beer selection on tap . Order the Duck Confit Poutine and watch the people around you go crazy... It smells and tastes delicious!

Jesse Vasquez

Come for the top-notch happy hour , stay for the 30+ rare craft drafts and top quality bar foods . Oysters and (made on site) ginger drinks are also a plus.

DoubleDeuce

This place is very spacious and fantastic. If you are nearby then do not miss it for food or a drink. If you are not nearby, then plan a trip to visit!

John Cassillo

Fantastic tap list and cool atmosphere. Happy Hour pricing makes it crazy affordable (for NY or anywhere).

Dave Richard

Great selection at this western themed bar . They were out of a lot of what was on tap though. I had to go with my third choice upon looking at the menu.

Kevin Rickert

One of my top beer bars in the city . Nice Lunch Specials & Happy Hour . A great amount of beers on tap , and don't be afraid to ask for a rec.

Kino

FG is located where White Rabbit lounge once stood. It's certainly an upgrade. The craft beers & shoestring truffle fries are good. $0.50 wings during NFL games . Bartender Justin concots great shots.

Lears Fool

Plenty of beer , whiskey and TVs . The  Sriracha Honey wings are delicious. I was worried they'd be more sweet than spicy , but they had great heat.

Untappd

Sister bar of The Jeffrey, this place packs tons of draft lines of Beer , Cider and Wine to meet your needs. Plus it has an awesome food menu as well !

Danielle Boudreau

Cool vibe, open air front in nice weather, and 30 choices on tap . What's not to love? Get there for happy hour for a good deal !

Flora Cheng

Good beer list with rotating draft cocktails . They have board games too!

Megan Baker

Have Matt “make [you] something good" and you won't regret it. He listens to what you like in cocktails and will make a drink you won't forget.

Staff Picks

Looking for some craft beer , bourbon & bites this evening? Fools Gold has just opened in the LES. Try the Truffle Popcorn or Siracha peas !

Russell Hirschorn

One of my favorite bars , great cocktail , whiskey , and draught list . Great for big groups and awesome service.

L. T.

Love this place. Come here for both food and drinks. The food is delicious and the deserts are creative! Pick anything.

Meg Farmer

Lots of craft beer to choose from, good for a late night . Has attracted a bit more of a rowdy crowd since the word got out about this new place.

Robert Pease

Amazing service, great atmosphere, huge drink selection, ton of beers on tap , great food... I could go on. Enjoy!!

Lili Baz

Great vibe, beer selection , and bar food ! The nacho fries and sriracha honey wings were my favorites.

Samuel Skelton

Looking for a snack ? You might be tempted by the "IPA Brined Chicken Taco " but don't do it. Stick to the Duck Confit taco or Korean BBQ taco !

Amanda Avnery

Greattt for watching football . Dive-y sports bar . Impressive craft beer list . Go boys!

Andy Chapman

Get the tacos and any one of the millions of brews on the menu

Alex Still

Part of a great family of bars these guys get access to some truly special craft beers , like all the time.

Earl Belcher Jr

Kusshi oysters from BC. Small oysters that pack plenty of flavor. Worth the upgrade over the Ware River oysters from VA. Yum!

Ryan Gallagher

Great beer list . Not a super big place but fantastic beers .

Reeves

Great food and tons of beer x whiskey selection . Perfect place to watch football with friends

Robby

Trivia Mondays! Tucson Kale Salad is great

Just like the Jeffrey & the Alewife, these guys know what good beer is. Pictured: 2011 KBS.

Natasha Morini

Perfect spot for a snack and drink before going to see a movie at sunshine theatre . Good amount of seating and not too loud .

Ash Bond

Head to the back of Fools Gold and find Matt at the cocktail bar and ask him to make you something good!

Théo Blochet

Unlike any other place, this bar has a "2 drinks minimum" for credit cards. You can't pay your $9 half-pint with plastic.

Trevor

Huge selection of excellent beers and some tasty sandwiches . Pair with next door's Landmark Sunshine for quality dinner-and-a-movie.

David Taylor

They have regulators behind every tap so each keg is at ideal serving pressure.

Omar Agosto

This place ALWAYS has a great selection of beer and the food and staff are awesome

Rainbow LA

Ask for Matt he will make you the best drink ever. He can juggle 6 bottles at once. Ask him to show you!

Ash Bond

Get Matt to "make you something good" you won't be disappointed!
