Cat theme? Check! Library aesthetic? Check! Located in a historic building connected to a social hall? Check! This charming and eclectic bar/lounge was not only a fun hang for a drink, the food was exceptional and unexpected. I will happily return the next time I'm in town, and I can't recommend them enough for a quick drink OR a meal. read more

Creative cocktails, delicious flatbread, friendly service. Inside was so comfortable and welcoming. (We sat on the side patio because we had our pup with us -- and we appreciate the accommodation of four-legged family members.) We would definitely return next time we're passing through Eureka. read more

I really wanted to love this place. When I first discovered it, I genuinely did--I recommended it to friends, brought people here, and kept coming back because the cocktails are great and the atmosphere has so much potential. Unfortunately, the customer service has consistently been the biggest issue. I've probably been here close to ten times now, and almost every visit has involved very slow service or feeling completely overlooked. This most recent visit was the final straw, especially because I had brought friends from out of town and had already warned them that getting service here can be difficult. When you walk in, it isn't very clear whether you're supposed to wait to be seated, order at the bar, or seat yourself. The bar was completely full, so we eventually found a table on our own. We then sat there for around 15 minutes without being greeted, acknowledged, or told how ordering worked. Meanwhile, there appeared to be only one bartender handling a busy Friday night while other employees were standing around the bar area. I completely understand that places get busy, and I genuinely don't mind waiting for drinks. What makes the experience frustrating is being left wondering whether anyone even knows you're there. A simple "Hi, we'll be with you shortly" or having someone take the order once guests sit down would make an enormous difference. Once I know my order is in, I'm perfectly happy to wait. The frustrating part is that this place has so much going for it--the cocktails, concept, and ambience could make it an incredible destination. But hospitality is a huge part of that experience, and repeatedly feeling ignored ultimately outweighs everything else. I was honestly embarrassed that I had chosen this as the place to bring my out-of-town friends. I hope they eventually improve the system for greeting and serving guests, because with stronger customer service, this could be a really special place. Unfortunately, after giving it many chances, I don't see myself returning. read more

What a GREAT day. On the way to dinner, we ended up at the California, Eureka Visitor Center grand opening party. Open to all. Then I wanted/needed another night cap so we ended here ,where there was another party happening!! Quality/Quantity - Simple menu done well. Better if you have been drinking the whole evening as I have been. See menu on website of "Nibbles" offered. Or check out my pictures. See picture of snack table. I noticed many people did NOT know this was available, and ordered their own nibbles(identical type of snacks). I basically ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. And as I walked around taking my Yelp pictures, I noticed the snack table, thank you. Atmosphere - What a huge location. The actual lounge was just okay in size, but they are connected to the historic Eagle House and I did not know where the businesses started or ended. Indoor/outdoor dining. Not sure what event was happening today, but there was a live DJ, snacks, etc. Not sure if it was open to the public...? Or if I crashed another party? Either way, I had a great time. Just checked your website; cut and pasted: "Tropical Vibes Happy Hour with DJ RunDat & DJ Spadafora - Join us for some tropical vibes at Phatsy Klines Parlor Lounge, enjoy some delicious cocktails and tasty treats. DJ RunDat & DJ Spadafora will be playing Afro beats with some Latin & Reggae Vibes sprinkled in the mix. Free all ages event." Service - Crazy busy, but they still did a good job managing the crowd. Price - $12 + generous tip. Owner Comments - Congrats on your success since 2017 and sorry to hear about the closure of your sister restaurant Tavern 1888. I was looking forward to visiting them also. read more

Been wanting to go to Phatsy Kline's for some time, and finally had the opportunity to swing by today. Boy, did it not disappoint! Grabbed drinks and a charcuterie board with my husband and son and everything was perfect! The charcuterie board was the best that I've had in the Eureka/Arcata area. It was twice the size as the board we had earlier in the day at another restaurant for the same price, and it was delish! Was really impressed by their cocktails as well! Our bartender, Mr. Ben, was super friendly and really knowledgeable about mixology and cocktail culture. I could have stayed there all night talking to to him about green chartreuse and Japanese whiskey. Most hospitable bartender I have met in a long time, and treated all of the guests at the Parlor Lounge like family. I think I just found my go to place for an evening cocktail in Eureka! read more

What a great place! Great setting, phenomenal drinks, and friendly staff. A fun place that I look forward to returning to!

Stopped in for dinner recently and it was one of the best meals I've had in a while. We were greeted by the bartender walking in and the hostess seconds later. She led us to a comfortable booth with menus in hand. Once seated, a carafe of water was delivered to our table. Our server was very kind, friendly and professional and she made our dining experience that much better. A small concise menu, with some great locally caught seafood. Several small plate options and some good daily specials. This is also true "Nor-Cal" slow dining, so sit back relax and enjoy the ride... and it was worth it here. We started with some popcorn and pastacios with paprika as an appetizer, crunchy, salty and spicy its a great bar snack, along with a dozen fresh local Humboldt bay Kumamoto oysters on the half shelf, they are in one word - delicious. Next the of soup of the day, a bowl of fresh corn bisque that was quite tasty and full flavored. Along with some beautiful crostini with fresh a Salmon mousse, again very good. Then for the entree, again fresh local caught Salmon (like seriously fresh caught that day by one of the owners) cooked to perfection and serves over a polenta with brocollini and mushrooms, it was spectacular. Along with a cold tap of another local, Redwood Curtain Pilsner. All in all an exceptional meal, we will return and recommended. Dinner start to finish, from the moment we were greeted to the time we left, two hours and some change and we enjoyed every bit of it. 4.5 Stars - rounded up for the great service 00812 read more

Direct from the Grand Ole Opry! Ladies and gentlemen, it's the inimitable braying of Miss Phatsy Kline! "Crazy... I'm crazy for feelin' so hungry I'm crazy... crazy for feelin' so starved I knew you'd feed me as long as you wanted And then someday I'd leave the plate for somebody new..." When I saw the name of this place, I just felt a need for me and Jamie W. to try it as part of our weekender in Eureka. The name was just too retro-quaint to ignore even though we didn't know anything about the food. When we walked in, it felt more like a 1970's-era fern bar with black lighting with dining tables at a premium. In fact, we had to dine on a high-top and sit on stools. However, we were willing to overlook the lack of comfort if the food was good. Our feeling was that Phatsy's is a tavern trying to find its legs as a fine dining restaurant. The result was a mixed bag for us. It appeared they do fine on bar bites like the $13 Chickpea Cakes served on a bed of greens with tzatziki dressing, cucumber, avocado, and roasted cashews (photo: https://bit.ly/3aoq8Cs). While it was a bit of a mess from a presentation standpoint, it was a satisfying veggie option with nice consistency on the cakes. The $13 Arugula & Baby Greens was too similar in preparation and ingredients to the chickpea cakes to provide us with real variety, but it was quite a robust and flavorful entree serving of salad with pomme fruit, chickpea, blue cheese, and cranberries, all of it drizzled with avocado dressing and accompanied by a wedge of papadum (photo: https://bit.ly/3ay5u2R). On the downside was our shared entree from their special menu updates. We tried the $21 Sweet Ancho-Rubbed Tri-Tip and found it way too chewy. We weren't asked what would be our preferred doneness, and while we veer toward rare, just not this rare as it was really challenging to digest even in a red wine demi glacé. It came with roasted, whipped potatoes, a welcome sight, as well as a veggie medley of zucchini, sweet peas, and Brussels sprouts (photo: https://bit.ly/397pj0K). Despite the abundance of food and a live piano, I have to admit we were disappointed. "Worry... why do I let myself worry? Wonderin' what in the world did I eat? Crazy for thinking that my stomach could hold it I'm crazy for tryin' and crazy for cryin' And I'm crazy for eatin' that meat." FOOD - 3 stars...the bar bites and sides worked, but that tri-tip was a bust AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...definitely more of a vintage tavern during the disco era SERVICE - 3.5 stars..,cordial enough TOTAL - 3 stars...I wonder if Patsy would've liked Phatsy's RELATED - Exploring the Lost Coast?

Where, with all the fancy peanut butter whiskey(urg)& lavender strawberry Jam vanilla cocktails, is the good, clean, frech taste of clear, crisp, cold vodka? Not blueberry cheesecake flavoured- i mean Vodka. Where is the Finlandia on the rocks ? Classic, go to the classic, not the candy-herbal-bubblegum drinks. Im from the bay area too !Not to mention a tour in the heart of Europe- how low have we sunk when there is no where here to have a finely made, up 2 Olive classic Martini. Everywhere is ruled by beer& cbd flavoured drinks!!! Help...Duden, bitte !! read more

Pretty good place for cocktails!! Drinks were solid and the decor was like a 1920s bar

I had saw here on yelp that they allow dogs here, like actually inside. But I guess it's an unofficial policy, so please keep it a "well known" secret. I thought they had a patio area, but I didn't see any when I went so I asked the owner/bartender and he told me unofficially, it was alright. So we just sat in the corner with our pup. It was super nice. We were able to enjoy our drinks without leaving our dog behind. They have a menu of specialty drinks but I just ended up with a Moscow mule and my hubby had a Lost Coast beer. It's an inexpensive place for the basic drinks. I think they had specialty cocktails for $15-16. They have some snacks but we didn't get any nor did I see anyone else noshing. It was super chill inside. They played some mellow music. The vibe was almost speakeasy type. The owner even put down a bowl of water for the dog and showed us cute pics of his pup also. So that was much appreciated. They were doing Edger Allen Poe readings next door or in another room of this place so there were cute visitors coming and going, which definitely added to the vibe. This place is located in the Eagle House. read more

This place is the Cat`s Pajamas !! The moment you walk in you can notice the unusual quirkiness of this place . The ambience is eccentric and instantly attracts you to some of the eclectic design choices.. floor covered in pennies, high shelves with books , unusual paintings ,tall ceilings and very comfy seating. We loved the vibe instantly but were disappointed when we found out that the kitchen was closed even as early as 5 PM due to some staff shortage and they only could provide food from the restaurant next door . However , we came in more for the craft cocktails than anything else so we proceeded to order those .I got a pistol peach and my hubby asked the bartender to make him an Old Fashioned . We also got the Poke Nachos . The drinks were lovely but expensive. I am all for spending on a well made cocktail but did not find the drinks as good as the prices they charged. The staff was sweet and very efficient . parking was right outside on the streets but I did find the other end of the street a little sketchy to park at . read more

fun place and amazing best bathroom anywhere. Great food and drinks. Fun people. Booths for conversations.

We had an absolutely wonderful cocktail hour meal here! We started with cocktails from their interesting and fun list and then ordered most every food item off their menu, which is one of the things I love about a small plates menu... you get to try a bit of everything. We thoroughly enjoyed oysters (raw), seared scallops on a bed of grains with broccolini with a fennel heart and jicama salad and milk chile sauce, a crimini and oyster mushroom bisque, and a flatbread with pesto sauce, sauteed trumpet mushrooms, leeks, and a mix of feta and pecorino cheeses. We finished things off by sharing their honey apple cake with almond crumble crust and vanilla ice cream. The lovely service, space, and ambiance perfectly complemented our meal here. read more

Phatsy Kline's is a historic theater converted into a restaurant/lounge. They did a great job with the renovations in steampunk/slightly goth decor. - Cardamom rose ($12): The grapefruit overpowered every other ingredient in this drink. 2/5 - Lavender pisco sour ($11): Frothy, light and refreshing. 4/5 - Truffled quail egg shooters, drunken ($18): Loved the rich quail egg and the sake back, and the presentation was so fun! There was too much soy, no trace of truffle, and it needed something acidic. Maybe some ponzu? 3/5 - Humboldt bay oysters ($3/ea): Yummy chèvre topping. The oysters were cooked well too. Slightly fishy. 3/5 - Phyllo cigars ($15): Interesting concept. I like beets and I like phyllo. The amount of beets in these cigars made them super floppy and a bit soggy. A solid vegetarian dish. 3/5 - Slow cooked birria ($20): Made from goat, the way it's traditionally made. We were excited because we've only had beef birria until now. If we hadn't been told it was goat, we wouldn't be able to tell. Tender, but extremely salty. 2/5 Really great presentation, but the food itself fell a bit short. Service was also slow and we had to ask for napkins, plates, and utensils. read more

First off, I was able to make phone reservations with Google assistant. I've never tried this before and was stoked when I received an email that my table was booked! My chosen time wasn't available but I could specify a preferred time range. This is a great option for a phone-shy millennial like me, I just wish there was a recording of what the assistant actually said :):) did it sound human? too human? I will never know!! we were seated immediately, service was super friendly at first, but lacking afterwards. very cute booths and decor all around. unfortunately they were out of most items because they were reserving them for a larger party. that was super disappointing. drinks 5/5: my non alcoholic drink (Frida Kahlo?) was amazing! I asked for it less sweet and they made it just right. really brought out the tea flavors chickpea cakes 2/5: they looked yummy but were unfortunately very very bland. there was no seasoning or flavor and it was hard to eat phyllo cigars stuffed with beets 3/5 : this was an interesting concept, it tasted better than the chickpea cakes but also lacked flavor. however it paired well with the sauce soup of the day (butternut squash) 2/5: ugh, the blandness is back!! the soup was impossible to finish. the accompanying garlic knots were decent seafood special (seared scallops) 5/5: my husband ordered this and really liked it. I tried the roasted veggies and black rice, both were great creme brulee 5/5: this had an orange blossom flavor and was really good! one of the best I've had overall I chose 3 stars because we couldn't try their more interesting items and what we ordered missed the mark most of the time. the food also took a very long time to come out (30-40 min). the hotel is definitely interesting but not worth the price we paid. read more

Delicious food, amazing drinks and beautiful dining area. My only issue is the lack of table service. I had to go to the crowded bar to get a second drink to the point I opted out on a second drink was because I didn't want to brace the crowd and my whole table unfortunately agreed. Love the scene just think a more hands on approach would be better for business. The bar tender Ben was amazing, very friendly and made amazing drinks. Would love to see them move to more communication around the dining area, though. read more

I'm so glad I finally got the opportunity to check out this amazing place. When you walk in, the decor is gorgeous. The walls are a deep, dark teal and the bar area is beautiful. My mom and I stopped by for a drink and some appetizers. Our server, Veronica, was friendly and answered all of our questions, making suggestions to us as we asked. I ordered the Smokin Ginger Boo too drink and it was a unique, yummy drink. If you're into mezcal and smoky drinks, definitely try it. For food, we shared the garlic knots and the mezze platter. For the price, I was a little disappointed in how small the plates were. However, all of the food was delicious. The garlic knots came with two knots (get 2 orders if you're hungry or have more than 2 people) and some delicious herb butter. The mezze platter had great flavor, but we wouldn't order it again. It was A LOT of hummus and not a lot of things to dip in it. The thing that really makes this place, though, is the decor and ambiance. It's a gorgeous, old Victorian style that somehow seems modern. I can't wait to come back and try brunch! read more

What a treat!! We recently visited for cocktails and dinner and boy was it delightful. The atmosphere in the bar area has a welcoming and great energy about it. The staff is incredibly kind and professional. They make a mean dirty martini and THE FOOD IS SOOOOOO GOOD. We had a little bit of everything off of the menu; The Crostinis (DELISH), Chickpea Cakes (AMAZING), Flatbread Pizza (SO YUMM), The quail egg shooters (MY FAVORITE) and The Duck Confit was such a treat!

My friend and I who just so happens to be an executive chef in San Diego decided to drop in for some brunch. We both agreed that we had one of the most mind blowing charcuterie boards ever and we've both been around the charcuterie board block a few times if you're picking up what I'm putting down. Wonderful selection of meats, cheese, and a few items we've both never had before. It was also very aesthetically please. Big shout out to Olivia. We also had the duck confit crepe. Whoa. I love when I order something I've never tried and end up finding a new favorite. Grilled cheese and tomato soup. Yummy classic. My only complaint is that the waitress was moving a little slow... I don't think she's aware of it, just needs a little more of a sense of urgency. Overall I'm very pleased and have to say this is in my top 3 favorite restaurants in Humboldt. read more

Staying at the attached Inn. The dinner here was phenomenal. I had a couple of their gin drinks and they were fantastic. I tried their grilled cheese special - I was smiling while I ate it. Perfectly crisp with stringy melted tasty cheese. Then I had the halibut special. UNREAL. I lived in AK and would fish and fillet my own halibut. But this halibut and the dish was the best I've ever had. Best. Ever. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked. The Italian black rice and veggies that came with it were all fantastic.

Slow too slow. Maybe a pointed suggestion to take my top enthusiastic dollar elsewhere. Humboldt is a big county with lovely people. This establishment suggests otherwise. No enthusiasm or culture to win a diverse influx of new tourist dollar into Humboldt. So much potential, but very little follow through. Waited ten minutes with no attention. Not even an appetizer check in? That is slow. read more

I absolutely adore this place. I was here for the Redwood Coast Music Festival this past weekend and was listening to music in the adjacent hall which was one of the venues. 5pm rolled around and couldn't wait to come over and snag a cold one in between music (see attached photos). I started off with a super tasty cider (local one) which was ice cold and mega-refreshing!!! I got a tasty Chardonnay for my friend and went back to the music. Well, I was hooked. I had to go back after the music and had a delicious flatbread and popcorn. We graduated to a very tasty red wine and really enjoyed it all! But what I really enjoyed (we enjoyed) was the staff behind the counter! They were so perfect! So helpful! They worked so dang hard and yet were patient with us and talked with us! I loved it so much I'm leading a bike group with my friends and we're gonna book a bunch of rooms and eat here too! This kind of service is rare, and I cherish it! read more
