The onion rings were absolutely brilliant, and the Organic IPA was also fantastic. What really stood out was how well Amy understood the drinks menu -- she listened to the kinds of flavors we were looking for, answered all of our questions, and recommended drinks that matched exactly what we wanted. She also had a great sense of humor that made us feel completely at home. On top of that, the atmosphere was incredible -- even the people around us were interactive and engaged in conversation despite us not knowing each other. The whole night was filled with great energy, shared laughs, and an overall memorable experience.

There was no Preacher or Jack, but our waiter was very friendly and made sure we got everything we asked for. He came from SoCal like us and moved to Fortuna to escape the crowd. I understand why and I would move too if I could. The food was great. I got the smoked wings and my wife got the tri tip dip. It was the first time we had smoked wings and they were great. Not only were they juicy, they were smoky, and tasted very healthy. Healthy and tasty don't usually go along. The tri tip was tender though my wife wanted a more crispy bun. The double IPA I got was good too. Bitter is how I like it. My wife got a cider and sweet is how she likes it. Overall 5/5 I'm not sure why people didn't like this spot, but our experience was great. The ambiance was cool, we got our small town vibe and felt the friendly atmosphere of Fortuna.

We had to visit this Humboldt brewery before we left Eureka. It was our last day over the 4th of…read moreJuly weekend. Opening time was 1 pm and it was perfect as it was on the way to our hotel from a morning visit to the town of Ferndale. There were only a few guests when the gates opened but wait times filled up fast as there was only one staff tending the taps and gift shop. We were second in line, so it wasn't much of a wait for us. I ordered a flight of five with regular ABVs (alcohol by volume) which included the iconic Downtown Brown, Harvest Wheat, Peanut Butter Chocolate Stout, Great White and Lost Coast Pilsner. I and the other patrons were bummed that the Indica IPA wasn't on tap so I ended up purchasing a six pack. I wanted a totally different variety of beers when we had dinner at LCB's restaurant a few nights before. The restaurant offers a flight of 6 on tap BTW. I'm more of a wine person when given a choice, but the tasting the brews of LCB was one opportunity I wasn't going to miss while I was here. I like IPA and wheat among the beers but ended up liking all of them. Even the dark stouts. Unlike, the restaurant, they only serve chips (unpacked) and salsa (sealed) here. My wife (designated driver) and son opted to get a taster of their root beer and a couple scoops of ice cream from the gift shop. We ended up purchasing a bright tie-dyed tee LCB tee and a fridge magnet.

Visited their Cafe Brewery a few days prior. After trying so many samples, I settled for: Scotch Ale & Raspberry Brown (closest to a red). Atmosphere - Good size location, cool decor. Service - 6 stars. Weird that we were the only customers. So got full attention from the two team members. Currently significantly understaffed. As the two team members are only a few weeks new. So no tours, yet. Price - $16 + generous tip. Sunday is the best day to come if you are price conscious. Of course today is Wed... Owner Comments - Congrat on so many successes since 1989.

Her energy, attentiveness, and kindness completely elevated our evening. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, checked on us at all the right moments, and somehow made the entire experience feel personal and effortless all at once. My niece absolutely adored her, and honestly, so did we. In a world where great service can be hard to find, Julee reminded us what true hospitality looks like. She is an absolute gem and a huge asset to Lost Coast Brewery. Wonderful food, great atmosphere, but Julee made the night unforgettable. We will absolutely be back because of her!

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.

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.

We walked in excited to prolong our fun afternoon and then we got to the bar to order... the bartender, who's name is Liza, was super abrupt and not friendly at all. She was very rude and we were being nice. Even gave her a huge tip when we ordered, because you have to pay when you order... trust me.. she did not deserve the tip.... she was rude and condescending the entire time and really ruined the experience for us. Beer 8/10. Chili fries 9/10. Service from food 10/10. Bartender 0/10. If Liza is ever there behind the bar again, I will leave. This was the worst experience ive ever had at the brewery and it will be a minute before I go again. Definitely taking my money elsewhere.
