Until the non-smoking law goes into effect, Goldie's will remain chokingly smoke-filled.
I like Goldie's, minus the smoke, and it definitely lives up to its name. It's a neighborhood bar to the T and it has two levels filled with TV's, games and of course, fully-stocked bars.
The drinks are fairly cheap, but if you come during happy hour, they're much more affordable. The food is pretty good too- try the focaccia sandwich!
The service isn't that great unless you sit at the bar, so if there are open spots by the bartender, grab them!
