Sticky tables, punk rock, beer, what more do you need?…read more The shanty is fun. Good priced beer and fun clientele. Someone was always willing to strike a conversation or play some pinball. 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.

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. The people were friendly, the drinks were great, and the whole space just has this comfortable, welcoming vibe you can't fake. I had an amazing time here and genuinely didn't want to leave. 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.

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!

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.
