Best TV Station
Scattered in among non-local answers like “Comedy Central” and “AMC” and wiseass answers like “Kill Your TV!” and “Go ride a bike!” a few sincere individuals confessed their love for the local appendage of the Public Broadcasting System and voted for KEET-TV Ch. 13.

Best Wings
In one of this year’s most heated, juicy, spicy, drippy, plump … uh, sorry … races of this year’s poll, we asked y’all to decide who makes fleshy fowl flying instruments the most delectable. It was a tight, three-way race, but in the end Six Rivers Brewery’s face was just a little bit saucier than […]

After explaining further to bartender Sierra Anderson that these facilities had won our first ever Best Restroom award, she was cool with my proposition. A guy down the bar — Gregson Pullen of Connecticut, who’d just rolled […]

Best Solo Artist
Repeat, baby! Humboldt still digs on soulful, rootsy Americana. After sharing Best Solo Artist honors in last year’s Best Of poll due to a tie, local singer/songwriter Chris Parreira goes truly solo in this year’s winners column.

High on drinkability, Mad River Brewery’s most popular ale is one of the most stocked beers in bars countywide. As one reader put it, “Steelhead is THE Humboldt beer.” Make it official. Now, Humboldt loves […]

Meet the Crawl Crew
Joining in first ever official (maybe) Humboldt Rural Bar Crawl were: Larry Trask, 49, Fortuna. Humboldt County’s second most popular DJ is the host of countless shows that air between the hours of 2 and 6 p.m. on 104.3/104.7 KHUM. He probably enjoys drinking too much. Will Startare, 26, Arcata. Bearded star of Seven-O-Heaven […]

The Rural Bar Crawl
Since the invention of feeling good, humans have been looking for new ways/excuses to drink. This time, seven stumbly Humboltians had a mission: Over the course of a three-night weekend, soak up the soul of Humboldt’s most far flung watering holes — specifically, every stinkin’ bar in the county in communities with populations less than […]
