The pub keeps going through changes over the years, and mostly for the better. The food just keeps…read moreon improving. Service can be very slow at times, so don't come here to eat if you are in a hurry. Staff are really friendly, and The Pub has an authentic Arcata vibe to it. Highly recommend the pizzas, the cauliflower wings, and the salad. They have rotating specials that can be pretty interesting. Great selection of beers, too.

The food was okay, but unfortunately, just about everything else was disappointing, and they just…read moredon't seem to care about it. The atmosphere is loud due to poor acoustics, and the seating, including the booths is cramped. The last time we visited was more than two years ago, and it was disappointing then. We figured enough time had passed that things had to be better this time around. Unfortunately, they weren't. The disclaimer that The Pub isn't fast food is completely understandable--but there's a difference between not being fast food and taking an excessive amount of time to get food to the table, we watched other patrons arrive after us, order pizza, eat, and leave in the time 1 of the 4 of us had been served - a cup of soup- that was not soup at all, more like stew meat and veggies on top of rice in a cup. The remaining 3 of us waited another 30 minutes with the 3 & 4 plates coming about 5 minutes after 2nd. Given that over the course of the 45 minute wait for food, our waters were not refilled even once. We weren't tucked away in a corner, we were about 8 feet from the host stand. Every single floor staff employee walked by several times, but were on the their way to do something else, Be sure to call attention to yourself at the pub, otherwise you're likely to be ignored. At one point, service was handed off to a seemingly lesser experienced server, then the initial server asked if she needed to yell at him to do better. That's not fair to him, and it certainly didn't make the experience any better. On the bright side, whoever came up with the truffle tots deserves some recognition. Tater tots + truffle oil? Great addition to the menu. Charging double the price of a regular order of tots? less impressive We genuinely like supporting and giving proper recognition to local establishments, which is why we're always willing to give places another chance. Unfortunately, The Pub managed to be less than mediocre on two separate visits, with zero apology or acknowledgment of the issues we experienced. Fooled twice. Never again.
