Entertainment in The Redwood Coast

  1. A

    Shanty

    Kick it on the patio with hipsters at this way-cool grunge bar, where you can play Donkey Kong, pool or Ping Pong between shots. Shanty is gay-friendly, but not gay per se. Sunday there's a bloody Mary bar, 10:00 to 14:00.

    Cafe Mokka

    Bohos head to this cafe at Finnish Country Sauna & Tubs on weekends for mellow hearthside acoustic music - usually European folk. Other nights read international newspapers and join multilingual conversations.

    You'd be amazed who shows up at Humboldt State University, from Diana Krall, Herbie Hancock Quartet and Dave Brubeck to Lou Reed, Cowboy Junkies and Ani Difranco.
