There's about four screens to watch the game. You won't have drifters, only hotel goers because it's not on the street, you have to walk around the corner inside to find it. I wouldn't recommend meeting people for drinks here. But if you're stuck at the hotel, it's the only place. So imbibe!

Due to the looks of neighborhood (especially since we don't live in the area) we thought we were going into a sketch dive. We couldn't have been more wrong. We all had fish and chips the batter was delish. The girl servicing tables was the only one there and she rocked it. I was watching her work and she anticipated her patrons and the bars needs without letting anyone else in the bar down. (We were there 7.26) Kudos to her! And the atmosphere was casual and happy. Thank you for the nice stop on our way home.

I ordered a medium rare burger with garlic fries. My burger was well done but had good favor. The fries were plain with a spoonful of garlic from a jar. My nephews orders were mixed up.

The no tomato burger was put with the garlic fries and the everything burger with the plain. My MIL just had fries, my daughter had chicken lips and fries and my SIL had a Navajo chicken sandwich.

The vibe is exactly what you want from a coastal brewery--casual, beachy, relaxed, and just the right amount of bar energy. I ordered the French dip, which was delicious and piping hot, although it was a little saltier than I prefer. My husband ordered the shrimp tacos, and apparently they were so good that I am now concerned about the stability of my marriage. He literally declared that he was leaving me for the chef. I guess the tacos were that good. The shrimp tacos came with fresh, flavorful salsa that really stood out, and everything arrived hot and quickly. Our server absolutely was friendly, attentive, and FAST--which we very much appreciated. Getting the check however took FOREVER! I think our server went out to lunch. :/ And the beer selection on tap? Lots of choices, and everything was served perfectly. Overall: great food, great beer, quick service, fun atmosphere, and apparently life-changing shrimp tacos. If you're in the area, put Lost Coast Brewery on your list. Just keep an eye on your spouse if they order the shrimp tacos. Apparently that's where things get dangerous.

I have been coming here for years, but tonight I had the experience of some shitty dudebro standing next to me complaining about a "shaved head dyke" who had apparently cut him off for drinks at a different bar. Both the bartender and his friend told him to shut the fuck up but the bartender (Sam) continued to serve him, despite the fact that 1.) He had already been cut off at another bar and 2.) He was being a straight up phobe. Very disappointed, will probably not come to Dave's again unless I have a cadre of cishet guys to protect my ass. read more

But honestly the best part is the owner (Erika) is really nice and super knowledgeable about the area and the customer base seems super close knit. I came in on a Wednesday so definitely not peak hours but everyone that came in chatted with owner for a bit which was nice to see. Highly recommend for anyone visiting from out of town, Erika and her customers seem to know a lot about the area so a good first stop for anyone trying to get a sense of things to do!

This is small town a really small town with Eureka about a 10 minute drive away The kid is in school, therefore needs to focus on classes and gets to hang out with us when he get a chance. We didn't have a car at first, so we are limited to Arcata. This was a good thing since we wanted to check out the town that Big said the Pickens are slim but good. There are a few bars in town. This is the only one being a traditional bar. I would even go as far as saying dive bar if it were in San Diego, but here I think it's just a regular bar. Payment is cash only. There's a long bar that has settled over the years and sloped towards the Bartender. There are a few tables along the opposite wall, which we did not sit at. There may have been something out back because I saw people going that way, but I didn't go check it out. We came on three separate occasions. Everybody here was incredibly friendly as they have been in town. It seems like all the locals also come here we saw the cook from another restaurant having a drink at the end of his shift. Don't expect anything fancy here it's a straight bar with a good selection of spirits. I generally stick to a vodka soda or Keile soda when it was something like this by Jenifer behind the bar said she's happy to take direction and made me the most perfect margarita. Another person next to me even ordered the same thing. So I'm in town if you want a place to grab a drink that's straightforward and friendly. This is the place.
