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.

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.

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!

We were on a road trip back home and looked up the reviews for somewhere to eat that wasn't fast…read morefood. So we searched Yelp and stumbled upon this gem. 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.

Our hotel receptionist recommended this place for Steaks saying they were the best steaks in town…read more He did warn us that it was a dive bar atmosphere which is a turn off as smoke comes in all the time from the outdoor patio dinning which apparently allows smoking. Major turn off and it was also pretty loud as the bar goers were getting drunker by the minute and louder as they went along. There were two waitresses that helped us (they took turns if the other was busy because they were also attending the bar as well). Both were very nice, attentive, and friendly and gave us good service throughout our meal. I am conflicted about the steak because the steak was very delicious, tender, perfectly cooked to my liking and had a good flavor to it. However, it was ruined because it was way way too salty!!!! Also the Zoragonla butter was awful for me it was way too overpowering and actually took away from the delicious meat. I regeted spending the extra $4 for that topping. The baked potato I thought was the star of the meal. Wonderfully prepared, soft and tender. Good quality butter and sour cream to go with it made it one of the better potatoes I have had at a steak place. I ate my entire potato which I never do! My husband's Ribeye was a little overcooked and he also complained about the saltiness as well. But agree with me on the baked potato being very good. Overall, the steak is very good but I would ask for it to be unsalted and just season it yourself to your liking because the kitchen way over does it. I would also get it to go unless you enjoy breathing smoke while you eat. I don't so I would not eat in again.

Came for the beer. Stayed because my husband fell in love with the chef…read more We stopped at Lost Coast Brewery and had a fantastic experience. 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.

From the moment…read morewe walked in, the staff made us feel welcome, the food arrived quickly, and everything we ordered hit the mark. Add in a solid lineup of beers, and it's easy to see why this place has become a local favorite. We sampled several beers across the menu, from crisp lagers to darker, malt-forward brews, and every pour was well-crafted and full of flavor. Whether you're a hop lover or prefer something smooth and easy-drinking, there's a beer here for you. The food was just as impressive. The shrimp tacos were fresh and flavorful with a nice kick, the burger was juicy and piled high with bacon and all the classic fixings, and the French dip was tender, served with a rich au jus that made every bite better. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a great stop whether you're grabbing lunch after exploring the Redwoods or winding down after a day on the coast. Great beer, great food, great service--Lost Coast Brewery is an easy recommendation and a must-visit while you're in Eureka.
