Tavern 1888, located in the Historic Eagle House on the Humboldt Bay offers “elevated coastal cuisine” with a focus on housemade and market fresh ingredients. The seasonal menu offers adventurous culinary creations while highlighting the best of Humboldt County’s land, sea and air. Innovative, craft cocktails and fine West Coast wines pair beautifully with the timeless, chic charm of this newly renovated and inviting Humboldt favorite. Definitely choose the Dungeness Crab Cakes or the Poke Tower as the opening act ahead of the varied main event options. Just a hint (this is a place where you want to leave room for the finale) because dessert is a must here. Part of the charm of Tavern 1888 is knowing that the original owners of this historic building were serving steamship passengers docking nearby. View the current menu online. Don’t miss delectable food and drink at the Tavern’s sister restaurant, Phasty Klines, also housed in the Eagle House (129 2nd St), which is open Tues-Sat 4-10:30.
