Don’t sleep on his very own wine project that uses only Humboldt county grapes and isn’t distributed out of this area unless it’s by you. Killer shop.“

Humboldt Cider Company - Tap Room Bar • $
517 F St, Eureka - 6.24 miles

“I absolutely loved this place! Unfortunately, I was only visiting Eureka, but both nights went to Humboldt cider.
It’s in a huge space, extremely high ceilings, bit of a warehouse feel, but with an artsy edge.
Lots of different seating arrangements, incl. an area looking out of the building where there was probably a giant garage door at some point (providing open air vibes), couches, small and large tables, and a smaller area, partially enclosed for more intimate room (it can be rented out for parties or what have you).
Extremely reasonable prices.
They don’t carry food per se (they have chips & brownies) but there was always a food truck parked in front.
The ciders themselves, I thought they were delish and they had a good variety. They also have plain pressed cider/nonalcoholic cider.
Staff were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful in cider suggestions and letting me taste.
Be aware, they are only open four days a week, I think. So check on that before going.
They have a bunch of board games and a couple skee ball games. Bring quarters.
Casual and comfortable atmosphere with yummy cider – definitely check it out!“

Shrimp Tacos

“This is an awesome place to go , for a bite to eat, and a very unique selection of beers on tap! I had a blood orange brew which was sooo yummy! There is a great variety of foods being served by outdoor food trucks. The portions are large...enough for two meals! One might drive by this place, thinking it is not a restaurant, because of the appearance of the outdoor structure. I assure you that I was extremely pleasantly surprised! The place is obviously new and gorgeous inside. The space is enourmous with plenty of seating indoors and out. It is a casual atmosphere, so come as you are! I personally think it would be cool if they had live music groups on the weekends. They could showcase local amateur musicians, including say a solo guitarist
or small duos, trios or quartets. The space is certainly large enough for patron dancing! Parking is plentiful, which is also a big plus! I highly recommend this unique , and appropriately named venue for families, or a casual date night!“

“This bar is great. My husband and I are new to the area. Last time we came we had went to the liquor store next door. And the worker had told me not to try this bar out because it’s ghetto. So when we made it official to move to Humboldt County we went to this bar. And oh boy was the worker next door wrong. I don’t know what he considers ghetto, but this bar is definitely not ghetto!“

“Went here last second and by looking at the menu quickly. The food definitely catches your eye. We were definitely surprised by how trendy the restaurant looked inside. It has an upscale club vibe with a beautiful bar that changes colors. We were quickly seated. Our waitress was friendly and knew the menu pretty well. I chose the filet mignon and was happy with the steak. It was tender and well seasoned. The vegetables weren't as good. Lastly, drinks were amazing. Gotta give it to the bartender, the crafted drinks were on point. Thanks!“
