The Local Cider - Arcata

The food and drink are great, the obnoxious Blonde guy working there is loud, and foul-mouthed. Kids and all in the shop and he is loudly swearing, and talking to other employees and some friends of his. Made what would have been a solid 5 star experience 2 at best, because of him.

I had a wonderful evening at The Local Cider Bar, thanks to the delightful ciders, inviting atmosphere, and friendly staff. I was particularly impressed by their reasonably priced options, with 10oz ciders at just $8 and 5oz ones for only $3! I loved the hard kombuchas and their house-made blueberry cider, which had a pleasantly dry and tangy flavor. Tyler, our server, was incredibly sweet and offered excellent recommendations. It’s the perfect place to relax with friends and enjoy a drink or two (or three)!

The service was excellent and incredibly quick. Lucas offered fantastic recommendations and crafted a special drink for me, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The atmosphere was wonderful, with very friendly patrons creating a great vibe. We tried a flight, a 10 oz, and two 16 oz drinks, and everything was fantastic. There’s a huge selection, so there’s definitely something for everyone.

The Humboldt pies were overrated and terribly salty with only white flour and too buttery. The salad was full of wilted brown lettuce. The bar seems fine. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3
