If Plato were to walk into a bar, he would certainly declare Shanty the platonic ideal of a dive bar. It meets all the basic requirements: - Cheap, strong, well-poured drinks - Friendly, quirky, chatty locals - Pool table - Good music - Smoking patio - Just the right amount of dive bar fragrance
What puts Shanty in the top tier, however, is the bartenders. They are masters. Eureka is a rough town. The crew manage to make everyone feel welcome, while also making sure everyone is respectful to everyone else. So Shanty is the local gay bar, biker bar, service industry after-work bar, and watering hole for everyone from 21-year-old couples to grizzled retired lumberjacks. Do no mess with these bartenders, or you'll suffer the fates of those who've offered bad reviews here. Honor their trade, and you'll be well attended to.
Also, ping pong, arcade games, breakfast (??!), and awesome theme nights. Spend your Humboldt coast night in Eureka and grab a drink at Shanty.

A very great experience, and a personal note for me, in the fact that that that they have a ping pong table was a catch for me!! So amazing to meet so many people, especially locals!! Will definitely be returning!! Keep up the good work Shanty!!

Some of the rudest bartenders in Humboldt.

These punks 86ed me for following the rules too much and being too kind. They wouldn't even accept a simple apology. Whatever guess I don't need their nice atmosphere good drinks for cheap and had times had by most

I liked this hole in the wall. Visiting from out of town had a punk rock vibe with cheap drinks and a nice outside smoking area that was covered from the rain.
Great place to watch the game. Sadly, someone stole my wallet here.

Spent my formative years drinking here while the bartenders good-naturedly put up with me.
Spend enough time at The Shanty and you'll become family.
Back when I was drinking there, it felt like 'every holiday of the year, every day' given all the decorations.
The owners are lovely and the bartenders put up with a lot of crazy shit-- anyone who doesn't like this dirty little gem can GTFO.
So many unusual and fun nights to remember (or not remember) and I especially miss Bob Graves, former owner of the Vista, pouring drinks on holidays. Long live The Shanty!

Nothing but good things to say; Halloween '24 🎃
Everyone was having a great time, the service was top notch and the tunes were ON POINT. I heard Forest by the Cure, Dead Souls by Nine Inch Nails, Hybrid Moments by the Misfits, Cry Little Sister by Carfax Abby and More Human Than Human by Rob Zombie, and I wasn't even there that long. How can you go wrong??! I'm a transplant and I wish there'd have been more time, we found this place at the end of our night. I plan to be there next Halloween. Solid gold.
