A great live music venue located on the campus of Humboldt State University (about 300 miles north…read moreof the San Francisco bay on the 101) Off Laurel Dr and Sequoia Ave, in the Music Arts Buildings area on campus. This intimate venue, at the top of the stairs and to the left, seats about 900 where some of the greatest musical talents in the world have played and graced this amazing stage and venue for decades now. Beer and wine is usually available for purchase, as are light refreshments. A non-smoking venue. Our most recent concert brought us back to this awesome venue for a show with Ozomatli this past Tuesday evening - This show did not disappoint! The Los Angeles based band has been together for almost two decades now, and it showed in their performance as they smoothly moved from urban latino - to hip hop, to cumbia, salsa and funk. This was an awe inspiring show, for both performers and the audience, as many have been, that I have seen at this venue in recent years. Playing at the Van Duzer theater, artists, musicians and performers all seem to thrive in this special and magical venue. It truly does bring out the best in those who play this stage. The audiences are some of the best in the world, and if you go to a show at this venue, you will find and see that those who do attend are there because they love the music and the artist performing. This in turn translates to the musicians and performers and as such the shows here are always spectacular and amazing in their own right. It does not get any better than this for live music. You can reach the Center Arts ticket office at 707-826-3928 to find out more about this venue and upcoming shows. The 2014-15 season looks to be a great one again, so if you ever find yourself on the north coast, 300 miles in the middle of nowhere and looking for world class music, this is it! A Pure 5 STAR venue. 00086

Wife and I had dinner Saturday May 23 at Gallagher's. When we arrived we got what appeared to be…read morethe last empty table. The decor was marvelous. We arrived at 5:45 and our food order arrived at about 7pm. There was no warning our food order would be late until at least 20 minutes after we ordered. Then we were told the kitchen was a little behind, and about every 10 minutes after that we were told our food would arrive soon. When the food arrived my mash potatoes were cold at the center. When the waitress checked back with about whether we liked our food I told her it was good but my potatoes were cold. Of course the waitress apologized. The restaurant reduced the cost of my entree by 20%. Although the kitchen got behind I believe this was actually a failure of management. If the kitchen was understaffed they knew it and should have reduced the number of tables being served, or spaced out seating more customers until the kitchen caught up. I also noticed that as tables turned over newly seated customers were warned the kitchen was behind, but never told how far behind. I hope Gallagher's improves.

We were not disappointed. Jordan was our server and he took very good care of us. He was friendly and attentive. We all got the Captain's Platter. The servings were generous with enormous scallops and shrimp and beautiful big fish fillets. None of us could eat the whole meal so we took it home and air fried the next day. We considered this a good value because we actually got six meals for the price of three. We were served quickly and enjoyed the oldies played in the background.

Thankfully, Mantova's music came in for the win! My son located a specific guitar that they had listed on their website for a great price.

We both left happy and I would highly recommend this business.

We came in one evening for dinner during some sort of festival you order food at a counter adjacent to the bar. The guy was super friendly. He was cooking and taking orders and delivering food to tables. Needless to say he was extremely busy, especially with the event happening at the moment he said they're completely out of french fries because he had to go back and cut more potatoes. All I heard is that fries are made from potatoes in house. They were also out of onion rings for the same reason so we ordered two orders of tots and three dogs Chicago dogs that is it wasn't cheap food but it sure was delicious. We even treated to a order of fries on the house since he got some more prepared like I was super friendly. In fact, we ran into him the next day at another establishment and he remembered us. Love the small town feel love the college feel loved the food loved everything about this place. Looking forward to visiting on a day that it's less crowded in town.
