Quality/Quantity - Had an amazing time in your Arcata location on our last visit…read more This visit was almost as good. Still 5 stars! Your Arcata location was just so much larger and with more activities. Plus, I believe your beer is brewed there...? Anyway, had the Dusseldorf Altbier (again) and finished with your signature Sticky Finger IPA!! As usual, all your beers are very good. Food truck available, see menu, but we were scheduled to go to Smalls Fusion Comfort (another 5 star review). I am so glad I did not get fries here and ruin my dinner at Smalls. Ambiance - Good size location. Less activities than Arcata. Indoor and covered outdoor seating. Bar and table seating. Plenty of mall parking. Well, we also got here early and for HH. HH is $1 off each pint. Service - Counter service. Fast and friendly. Tasters offered if you are unfamiliar with their beers. Price - $13+ tip. Expensive for HH, but worth it for good beer! Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2010 with your two locations. As you can tell, we are regular customers!

Thank you guys for the kindness and friendliness, it really meant a lot.

I apologize for not reviewing sooner because this was not our first time here…read more It is a big deal that we actually came back When we travel out of town we hardly ever go to the same place twice. This is an exception Pepe was the best waiter that we've had anywhere in the longest time. Excellent suggestions excellent service and really listened. We wanted to add something extra to our item that we ordered regardless of how much extra it cost and we express that we wanted a lot of it. Not only did he pass that on to the kitchen absolutely accurately they performed what he asked for. He was the first line of connection and communication so I give him credit for sure and special things to the kitchen for performing the exact. I know that sounds strange but it was kind of a big deal and it was really a big deal that it came out perfectl

DEEPLY DISAPPOINTING!!!! I was so excited to celebrate my…read morebirthday at Lost Coast Brewery & Café--we drove to Eureka specifically for this place 12/7/25. Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing. From the start, the person who helped us was rude and dismissive. I understand people have bad days, but her attitude was unacceptable. When I simply asked if they had cider, she laughed and caught an attitude. I requested a sample of a strawberry option they had on tap, and when I then asked to order that drink, she said, "I'm sorry, I can't possibly remember everyone's drink when I pour drinks all day." That comment was disrespectful and unnecessary. As a human being that works with the public, it's a no brainer to say that is not how you talk to people...perhaps something along the lines of "Remind me what that was again"....I could never imagine talking to people that way. The best part though, is that while charging us--despite saying she couldn't remember everyone's drink--she somehow remembered my husband's order just fine. The inconsistency and tone were frustrating and soured the entire visit. We only came to Eureka for this spot, and it turned into the worst birthday experience. I had hoped for a fun, friendly celebration, but the service made it anything but. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this location based on how we were treated.

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.

Good location. Food was hit-and-miss. Pizza and pasta were good but all the other dishes we ordered…read morehave wrong texture. Risotto's texture was like grit, overly cooked. Brussel sprouts were more like steamed not roasted. Pork chop was burnt and very very dry. Chef needs to go back to learn some basics.

Have no idea what was the rush as the restaurant was half empty :(

Hard one here. We have tried again and again, and we both…read moreremember a time when this place was the bees knees in old town Eureka. But alas, they have failed us in some way or another on our last four visits. It was her birthday dinner and we ordered a lot, so here goes... Sloppy, Under and Over Cooked, some things maybe good, but nothing at all was great. three apps: Arancini - over fried to a hard crunch, a bit far for my liking.. finding difficulty in cutting it with the edge of my fork. flavor ok but way overdone. Polenta with ragu great flavor but strange watery sauce and custard-ish texture to the Polenta. in my opinion, not well thought out or tasted. Gnocchi with black truffle - under cooked, almost raw very soft, no bite. cream sauce was good but the black truffle shavings had zero flavor, I could not taste or smell the essence of truffle at all. Cesar Salad - On point and delicious actually the star of the show. which that alone is terrible. sloppy plating. Lasagne Bolognese - Not super hot or evenly heated. One half of my Lasagne was Luke warm, the cheese inside on that side still solid. Bolognese was good but not great. Carbonarra - Not traditional, small skinny pasta which was al dented, but entirely Luke warm which ruined the dish. panchetta was crispy almost too crispy, but completely lacked the deliciously creamy rich consistency of a light egg sauce that the dish requires. this was dry, awfully luke warm and dry... it should be godly, divine, gently served, with a peppery personality... we pointed it out and showed it dry and cold when asked, but the waitress soured on us after that... drinks: Negroni - was ok but not great Whiskey Sour - was served on ice after being ordered and emphasized with no ice please. we were instructed after that we should have ordered it "Up" then it would have come with no ice... Ambiance: Drunk girl cackling at the bar from before we went in till after we left. she kept going into the kitchen and talking to the staff, that was the only time the ambiance was on point. her voice was sharp, she was loud, drunk, and I could hear her after we left 40' away from the door. Whomever you are visiting back there knows better. to the waitress with the long curly hair (tara?), thank you for always giving a shit, thank you for offering to help or remedy even though you were not our waitress. you've always been a star. unfortunately we won't be back. that's $500 over 4 visits in the last 3 years. 3 yrs ago the meal was so off that when the waiter could clearly see our issues with the mains they comped the whole meal... It's just not worth it anymore. we did a whole Italian meal tonight and none of it was up to par, all of which are staples in Italian cooking... consider straying from the Italian twist on the menu if it can't be done right . training, more training, , tasting, and iron fisted supervision is what this place needs... overpromised and under delivered. Luckily for you guys the majority of the humboldt food scene has no idea how bad this is... par for the course for up here...

You can tell a lot of love went into creating the atmosphere. Now let's talk about the cider... because WOW. I tried pretty much every single cider flavor they had, and every one was amazing. Safe to say I left extremely tipsy--but also extremely happy and very content with my experience Worth it. I genuinely cannot wait to go back, especially now that it's remodeled. Even more excited at the idea of hopefully bringing my dog along next time. Great drinks, great vibes, and an overall 10/10 experience. Highly recommend if you love cider and a beautiful space to enjoy it in.
