Oberon's on 2nd Street is Eureka's best cocktail bar, occupying a Victorian-era commercial space that suits the drinks program well. The bar focuses on classic cocktails and straightforward execution — no elaborate foam or smoke, just properly made drinks in a room with good bones.
The crowd skews older than the Lost Coast Brewery taproom and the pace is slower. It is a good place to end an evening after dinner in Old Town, particularly if the fog has come in and you have nowhere to be. Check current hours as the bar has historically kept limited weeknight schedules.
