The bartender was so cool...very friendly, and helpful. He gave us advice on drinks and things to do around town! Great ambiance, and I was even told they have live music most nights. We were there on a random Wednesday, so no music and not very crowded, but a great experience nonetheless. I can't wait to come back and check it out when I'm back in town!

The music is great. Every time I've been, the bearded fella was manning the music. Good punk and hardcore playing, now that's the vibe I need. There's one regular who's over the top and will speak with you whether you want or not. That's part of the fun. I felt comfortable as a queer person here. Best bar in eureka hands down.

Rarely leave reviews or go to bars these days. Shanty was my go to 6 years ago and recently…read morevisited. Was pleased to see (leave names out starts with M bald older gentleman) bartender who was just starting when last visiting almost 5 years prior. I always enjoyed talking to him but things have changed in the years mostly due to insane amount of bartender drama within the business itself which Is all available to read on Reddit. So after trying to have a conversation only to be ignored multiple times kind of pissed me off so just tipped like 15% when I normally do 30% or 50% and left a note. To which I was planning on apologizing but before could even say anything said smart ass comment about me leaving a note about him ignoring me and refused any kind of service. Cool place and environment but bartenders are easily most emotional employees at a bar I have ever experienced in my life and like I said all the drama is on Reddit. Sals is another great LGBTQ option if you rather not be involved in drama or making friends with bartenders.

I've never been before but they had a Halloween Party going on and the DJ had the dance floor packed. The drinks were pretty strong and the only disappointment was a small bar and slow bar service. It took up to 30 mins to get a drink. I was told on off nights it a cool place to come and relax and enjoy. Will have to give it a try!

It's full of true locals, the kind of place where everyone seems to know each other, but they still made me feel completely at home.

If you're visiting Eureka and want a bar where you instantly feel like part of the community, this is the spot. I'll definitely be back.

What a GREAT day. On the way to dinner, we ended up at the…read moreCalifornia, Eureka Visitor Center grand opening party. Open to all. Then I wanted/needed another night cap so we ended here ,where there was another party happening!! Quality/Quantity - Simple menu done well. Better if you have been drinking the whole evening as I have been. See menu on website of "Nibbles" offered. Or check out my pictures. See picture of snack table. I noticed many people did NOT know this was available, and ordered their own nibbles(identical type of snacks). I basically ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. And as I walked around taking my Yelp pictures, I noticed the snack table, thank you. Atmosphere - What a huge location. The actual lounge was just okay in size, but they are connected to the historic Eagle House and I did not know where the businesses started or ended. Indoor/outdoor dining. Not sure what event was happening today, but there was a live DJ, snacks, etc. Not sure if it was open to the public...? Or if I crashed another party? Either way, I had a great time. Just checked your website; cut and pasted: "Tropical Vibes Happy Hour with DJ RunDat & DJ Spadafora - Join us for some tropical vibes at Phatsy Klines Parlor Lounge, enjoy some delicious cocktails and tasty treats. DJ RunDat & DJ Spadafora will be playing Afro beats with some Latin & Reggae Vibes sprinkled in the mix. Free all ages event." Service - Crazy busy, but they still did a good job managing the crowd. Price - $12 + generous tip. Owner Comments - Congrats on your success since 2017 and sorry to hear about the closure of your sister restaurant Tavern 1888. I was looking forward to visiting them also.

Friendly staffperson behind the bar, a robust selection of beer, and best of all, clientele that are easy to interact with. Even though Eureka has the reputation of being perhaps a bit rough around the edges, for me I found this place to be anything and everything I would want, particularly with respect to cheap drinks, nonjudgmental people, and a generally chill atmosphere, and not necessarily in that order. And, no, not a spy, for those who know what I'm talking about. Rock on Dave's Place.
