i've never heard of this place, but i received a brief history from one of my friends on this establishment. Gold Bar was located where Xtreme Bean now stands on the (south west corner of McClintok and Southern) a long time ago. I guess Xtreme Bean bought them out of their location or they just took over... that's why they moved to the location there at now (North East corner of Southern and McClintok) \n\ni thought this place is really neat, they have comfy seats and outside-furniture inside with cushions for your bum. It's a smaller place which to me is a lot better especially when you're trying to get things done, no distraction like loud people or a piano playing. \n\nthe only thing i didn't like about this place was the price of their latt\u00e9 it was the same price as starbucks or some other place and it didn't even taste that good. i was disappointed on that fact. Maybe i just ordered a bad drink so i'm going to go back and give them another try....
