I hate to be the guy who has to point this out, but Loose Goose is the Brothers of Grandview.
City of Columbus.
Grandview has very limited liquor licenses. I think a place or two in the Grandview Yard will want one, but I dont know if a variance will be needed. Grandview starts about 300 yards north of that place.

Don't be so picky, Grandviewites(ians?) most likely consider this among the other non-Grandview bars (Red Door, Mickeys, etc etc) because they are in the area. Like me.

The non-Grandview bar that we have co-opted as our own is Johnny's thank you very much. It makes the Loose Goose look like the Refectory.
Not being picky, would not mind more businesses being in Grandview, not less. We need the tax money. Grandview was oddly drawn up business wise back in the day to our detriment. It is funny how small Grandview is and yet how humongous the Grandview Area is. I am not complaining, it adds to our allure thus our property values. Red Door is a funny example. It is about 3 blocks from Grandview and two from UA but has anyone ever heard of anything in the Upper Arlington area? Heck I have seen things called being in Grandview that are near two miles away.

I think people who are giving the Loose Goose the benefit of the doubt are being pretty forgiving, and perhaps a bit naive. I mean the description is pretty specific, $1 domestics with no listed restrictions... other bars if they had $1 Bud Lights, would simply say "$1 Bud Light" but they don't. I can't imagine a business that makes almost all of their profits on booze would have such an oversight on accident and after being repeatedly asked by patrons doesn't fix the problem, especially when the rest of the web site is updated frequently.
It's fraud plain and simple... The proprietor is responsible for honoring an advertised price. While in college I worked in a number of retail establishments and when there was a mismatch in the marked or advertised price every place I worked for honored the lower price. At best it's 'bait and switch' by getting folks do drive around to the back side of a shabbily constructed and oddly located bar with the enticements of a pretty great happy hour special, only to be told AFTER the check comes that oh by the way... the price we told the world isn't even close to being right.

the other day i went to a gas station in what I believe to be Marble Cliff. Sign out front said $3.38. Price at the pump was $3.78.
maybe it's a regional trend!

I went to the Goose with a Faveroo deal. It seemed a lot of the people we talked to came from Arbors of Watermark across the street. In general it reminded me of an Arena District type place. It will be interesting to see if it can last after the 'new bar' publicity wears off.

A friend of mine and I had a discussion last night, where he brought up the original poster's complaint, about the happy hour prices not matching what the website says. He tried to post a message on their Facebook page later saying he thought it was misleading. They have their Facebook page setup so no new posts show up anymore from anyone but themselves. The last post from anyone but themselves is from July 11th. It would lead me to believe they know they have issues, and don't seem to care.

I'm not necessarily doubting their motive by doing so, but many businesses have done this in an effort to prevent people from spamming and posting inappropriate content on their wall.

Yes Mister Shifter that could be it, but even if a business leaves posting open, they can easily delete any message that is spam or inappropriate, immediately after it is posted. But yes, you could be correct that that is why they set it up that way.
