The Speakeasy - Eureka, California

Marin Ferrie “Marcherie”

We enjoyed the service and atmosphere. We are warmly welcomed. The bartender was magician. Whatever she made her drink was absolutely wonderful.

What a find. Can't comment on food, as we didn't eat. Absolutely fantastic atmosphere and the music by Jenny and her band. (you're new friends from Yorkshire) So sorry, can't remember the full name of the band, but you were all amazing. If you are in the area do visit this bar, it's wonderful.

Great craft cocktails in a modest space. Adjacent garden/patio has good jazz bands. Nice stop for a beverage and some tunes.

I don’t know what to say but the bar person was not welcoming as I feel my husband and I were immediately judged as we walked in. We have travelled over from Sydney Australia for a five week holiday and three weeks in of travelling from LA on our way to Portland to spend Christmas with friends we were met with hostility and judgement before we even spoke. One of the first statements to be made by the bar person when we asked about a cocktail was “As long as there’s no hate speech” Without much of a word we asked if there was bourbon and coke, the reply was yes what kind of bourbon ? in which I replied well we’ve had bulldog bourbon before in America in which he replied “ we don’t serve that bourbon it’s homophonic ! “ he then proceeded to serve four other people that came into the bar after us and ignored us. We felt pretty awful and uncomfortable so we left in which he shouted out “have a lovely evening”
having come from Australia for a holiday we are not familiar of all the types of whisky’s but also the general treatment was hostile to say the least.

We gathered there was an agenda going on and having strong ties back in Australia with the Sydney Gay Mardi grass through my husbands work in graphic design and marketing, my own trade as a Therapist working with youth LGBT in the heart of Sydney we found this quite shocking to be judged based on our appearance and ordering the wrong bourbon and as a very normal 60,and 65year olds in jeans and jumpers. The very attitude of this person behind the bar not wanting hate speech, homophobia did exactly that and ruined our time on our first night out here. Very very disappointed and hurt.

Halloween '24. I haven't had the chance to get out and don a costume in...wow. I skipped Halloween in '19. Five years! Garth was the doorman, and his demeanor was jovial and inviting. Alfie and Taylor (I sure hope I have everyone's names spelled right) were busy to the SKY and held it down. I misplaced something and it was found and returned to me...like...almost immediately. I was floored!
The staff and guests were a visual feast of the coolest costumes. The music did not disappoint. I'd be remiss not to attend next Halloween, what a cool time. Hands down, I recommend.

Super fun little bar. Went on a friday night and their local band was playing some jazzy funk. They were amazing and the cocktails were on point. Traveling through and made many new local friends and good conversation while here. Highly recommend

I cannot remember the bartenders name, but she was great! We were visiting from out of town, way out of town, and she shared some info for things to do around the area. She even wrote them down! She was super friendly and kind to our dog! They are dog friendly if your dog is cool! California allows dogs in places if they do not serve food, after that, establishments have the right to make that decision! Really enjoyed the vibe, staff, and drinks available!
