Love The Shanty! I lived in Old Town, Eureka, CA for ten years and The Shanty was a 3-minute walk from my apartment. This place is AMAZING! I enjoyed Friday and Saturday nights here, playing pool, having a few drinks and catching up with folks, and of course taking in the great live acts. I also enjoyed the festive seasons such as Halloween, Christmas, NYE, Christmas in July, etc., where the bar was decorated and filled with a very lively atmosphere. The drinks here are always well-made and priced well, as are the beers. I was a big fan of The Shanty dog....with Sriracha! Service here is always tops and the bartenders are great people. A+++! ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent place to take shelter from the heavy rain. Friendly staff, occasional shows, great back patio, punky and overall welcoming vibe about the place. Plus they have frozen burritos for $3. Hand microwaved locally of course!

The guava margarita was yummy and quite strong, only 6$ is a deal to me. The female bartender was nice and inviting, male bartender seemed a little fed up, both normal workers (no rudeness). I loved the vibes of the bar, I was only in town for the weekend for school and I went by myself.

My previous night hung low and drew my wit to a slow walk. "Cheap sunglasses and cheaper beer", is what I wanted to say, but I drooled a moan and crawled the Saturday morning streets, ablaze with white teeth and answered weekend prayers. I sat on 3rd st. I writhed. I saw the end of my days with no shepard, this is it. I opened my eyes like shallow cuts stinging with the salts of my sweat... The Shanty. I bound to my feet filled with goals and conviction for them I ran to a bar stool where I ordered a PBR tall can for $3. I used the lavatory and felt refreshed. A smoking section in the back and great atmosphere! There's a juke box and even live bands sometimes. A great place to take friends and celebrate life at a wonderful dive! 10/10

Passing through town and it was a long day, somehow landed here. It seemed like a lgbtq place but I don’t care. I just wanted a drink and wanted someone to chat with. Drink was cheap and bartender was sweet but the crowd seemed to be into themselves. I was super friendly to everyone and realized that maybe I wasn’t welcomed, so I slammed my drink and left. It’s so crazy because I have yet to have an unfriendly experience in Eureka and this was my very first one.

My husband and I go up to Eureka together about every other month, because he has to go up for business. We don't have any decent bars where we live, so of course we want to take the opportunity to hopefully find a bar for our trips to Eureka. So last week we spent the night bar hopping.We were trying to find a place with good Vibes and friendly people.We found our place here. The decor is really punk funky with a nice outdoor seating area equipped with heaters. The Bartender is really friendly and service is Attentive. The regulars we have met were also very friendly.
Legendary rocker dive bar. Cool art, great bartenders. Back patio. Great drinks and best prices around. PS don't tell anyone!

A small local bar. The service is always good and it has a nice outdoor area but beware, the bathrooms here are not great, the women's bathroom is usually okay but the men's always smells or urine
