Slice Of Humboldt Pie
Pie shop
🫤 Pie was barely mediocre. Little flavor. Dense crust. I have had better from supermarket bakeries. Seems more like a place to drink beer, rather than get a good slice of pie. They should probably change the name.

👍👍 Amazing people here. So we couldn’t decide. Oracle dog through the arch says, the ‘Cosmic’. And so it was: cosmic. It had shrooms! Just kidding it was delicious and no we didn’t hallucinate the wonderful bathroom mural of Gaia holding the world tree. But I had the compulsion to buy a bunch of...

Hatchet House Arcata
Recreation center
👍👍 I reccomend reservations because this place is packed (but not claustrophobic). I took 5 teenagers for my son's 14th birthday party. It was $70 for 2 lanes for an hour for up to 6 people. They showed us how to throw and then they slowly brought other tools over; knives, thin axes, and a shovel. Eac...

😠 I was denied access to the establishment for having a Service Dog which is illegal. The bar tender yelled at me and my partner saying the dog isnt allowed, I then pointed to his vest and said he's a service dog. He replied "he still can't be here." I was really excited to try this place but I left f...
