Lost Coast Brewery And Cafe - Eureka

Lost Coast Brewery is one of the gems in our area. A favorite weekend lunch date spot for us. Humboldt is a quirky funky area full of interesting folks, and loads of artists. Lost Coast Brewery really hits the vibe of this community and is always a fun spot. The artwork for their beers alone are super awesome. I love their Famous Hot Brown Sandwhich with one of their Fogcutter Double IPA's, that is my favorite of theirs. My wife got the fish and chips, which is always super good as well. They also sell beer in growlers to go, which is great because they have so many great ones to try.

The fish and chips are pretty good and so is the beer! Fun atmosphere and the staff was really nice. The location is good, it is just a few minutes walk from many things in Eureka.

Went for an early dinner, food was great, reasonably priced with a great vibe. Large portions and service was good....beer batter foods were great.

Our experience was terrible at this restaurant. After following the directions to see a hostess to be seated and putting our names down we were accosted by the manager for “being in the way.” He told us we should have sat in the lounge. As you can see in the pictures this A) no place to sit and B) no way to know the lounge is open seating. Eventually when we asked our status for a table we were told they were not in a hurry to seat us. Even after we ordered drinks and appetizers. When a communication professional and multiple service industry professionals could not tell where we could or could not stand or sit there is a problem.

Walked up and was sat at the bar with my wife. While we were waiting, we watched the bartender host an 8 minute meeting with her coworkers while eating a sandwich, all behind the bar. Took her 8 minutes to even acknowledge our presence. All this time I was watching them stack glass ware in the bar well. If y 'all have ever worked in a bar you will know this is a huuuuuuge safety issue. Not only this, they are chilling the glassware with ice out of these disgusting looking buckets. As a person with 15 years experience behind the bar, I saw nothing but red flags the moment I sat down. Great beer, what a horrible operation they have at their cafe. I challenge you to do better Lost Coast. Your beer deserves more than your service provides. Let 's see if you have the guts to address the issues I just called you out on, or if you only say Thank you to the easy 5 star reviews (which I am completely Lost on how you got them)
