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.

We enjoyed the Scallops for an appetizer. They were cooked perfectly and very fresh. I chose the Connecticut Lobster Roll which is buttery and delicious. My husband wanted mac and cheese which was a 4 cheese blend, New England style with breadcrumbs. Yum!! The bar itself is unique. The service staff waits on the tables for food but you have to go the the bar for drinks. Not my favorite vibe but it seems to work. We would go back for more lobster rolls!

It's a vibe!

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.

I don't want to condone this entire place but the bartender with the ugly goatee is probably a racist. For anyone who isn't familiar with this place, there's a piano in the seating area that anyone can play. Four different white couples played on the piano before I did but for some reason, after I started playing, this idiot who doesn't have a life comes over and tells me to stop playing for no reason. Even after one of the bartenders came over and complimented my playing. AVOID this place like the plague if you're a person of color. This ugly dude with the goatee was the only one at the bar who avoided taking my order when I was there. read more
