A stage for live entertainment but Wednesday night not available. Outdoor seating and a patio for smokers. Food was good, alcohol in drinks was a little light so we ordered shots.

Shuffleboard was free, and we certainly took advantage and had a blast. We weren't really keeping score, but I won (10-3) if anyone is counting. On top of that, the live music set the mood, awesome indie tunes being performed on stage and an even better sound system. There's a jukebox on site too, to go along with the quirky decor and dim colored lighting creating an inviting setting. Also, service at the bar was excellent as we ordered a couple different cocktails. The whiskey sour and strawberry lemon drop were made well and quite tasty. So of course, we had seconds. Needless to say, I'm a fan of this place.

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.

It feels like a local hangout where everyone knows each other, but visitors are welcomed right in. The location right on the water is hard to beat, and the place is filled with funny signs and a great sense of humor that doesn't take itself too seriously. Not fancy at all, but that's the point.

Tbh the men's room in the back reeked of piss, but the bar was friendly enough that I decided not to care. I asked the bartender for a gimlet and she asked if it was ok to use fresh limes instead of syrup (!!!!). A girl after my own heart. I get the sense that this might be the default gay bar in town. Or at least it's really queer-friendly with a mixed crowd. Definitely worth a stop. There's even a park and a great view across the street.

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.
