Absolutely disgraceful experience at Goros. I tried to enter to see my wife, and the power-tripping bouncers decided to kick me out because they thought I was stumbling. Apparently, in their expert medical opinion, that meant I was too “drunk” to enter. News flash: a slight misstep doesn’t mean someone is intoxicated The attitude from security was beyond arrogant—condescending, rude, and completely unprofessional. They didn’t listen, didn’t care, and seemed more interested in flexing their authority than actually managing the venue properly. I’ve been to plenty of bars and clubs, and I’ve never seen a place run by such an incompetent, self-important bunch of wannabe cops. The real kicker? Once they decide you’re “too drunk,” there’s no discussion, no reasoning with them. You’re just out, no matter how calm, coherent, or reasonable you try to be. It’s like dealing with a brick wall—except this brick wall sneers at you and enjoys ruining your night. Avoid this place at all costs unless you enjoy being treated like garbage for no reason. Absolute joke of a venue.

I recently tried to visit Goros and was delivered with a dose of unnecessary frustration and, frankly, absurdity. I was with a group of friends, all of us excited for a night of fun. But when we arrived, we were met by a security guard who seemed more interested in his power trip than in anything resembling customer service. Apparently, my friend, who had only sipped a drink or two, was "too drunk" to enter. Never mind the fact that he was walking perfectly fine and wasn’t slurring his words. But these security guards? They were on a mission: to enforce their own mysterious and unspoken rule that "only people we deem sober enough to enter" should be allowed in. Not even a friendly appeal could get us past them. Their judgment? Final. Their smiles? Nonexistent. I can appreciate safety, but when your security team is more interested in practicing their "authority" than actually creating a welcoming atmosphere, something is seriously wrong. So, if you want to risk your night out being ruined by random judgments and a bunch of people who think they’re auditioning for a role in The Ultimate Fighter, by all means, give this place a shot. If not, I suggest you save your time and try somewhere that knows how to make people feel welcome... even if they’ve had one too many beers.

Goros is a trendy bar with a Japanese inspired atmosphere. The decor was gorgeous. They sell a range of drinks, which included alcoholic bubble teas, I ordered the watermelon bubble tea with vodka which was refreshing and sweet. On Friday they had $1 dumplings which was good value, the dumplings which were gyoza were yummy. The other food options such as the fries and fried cauliflower was also delicious. A really great venue for a Friday night and a short walk to central station.

Booked the karaoke here - so much fun. Decent range of music, QR code for prompt ordering to room and helpful staff. Volume of microphones could be louder.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but after going to Goros on and off for the past 2-3 years, I’ve seen it go through all its phases. Unfortunately, it feels like it’s now stuck in an entertainment purgatory. I used to love the DJs here—especially this one tall guy who always played an incredible mix of music! The atmosphere felt alive, and the energy was unmatched. But lately, the music has become repetitive and uninspired, missing that spark that once made Goros special. The food has always been solid, but recently, even that has taken a noticeable dip. For a Japanese-inspired bar, the space feels hollow, lacking the character and vibrancy it should have. Given its prime location near the station, Goros has the potential to be an amazing venue again. With better marketing, a stronger focus on quality DJs, and thoughtfully curated events, it could truly stand out. Right now, though, it just feels like another corporate watering hole—lacking soul, vision, and the effort to take things to the next level. I really hope to see it reclaim its former energy.
