FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHY "RICHARDS' GOAT?"
In 1901, the "Plaza Improvement Committee" of Arcata began developing ideas for beautifying the Plaza green. A center bandstand was completed in the spring, and "Charles Richards' goat" was evicted off the premises. Our little tavern & tea room on Samoa Blvd is named after that mischievous goat who was kicked off the Plaza in Arcata's early years.
DO YOU HAVE GIFT CARDS?
Yes! Our gift cards can be purchased for any amount over $5 and work like a debit card. They can be purchased in person while we are open.
I LEFT MY CREDIT CARD, PHONE, COAT, ETC. AT THE BAR
You can pick up items you left at the bar during our open hours or call during our open hours.
DO YOU TAKE RESERVATIONS?
We don't normally take reservations for tables. If you are bringing a large party or having a birthday party and would all like to sit together, we may be able to reserve the large table for you if you write us at richardsgoat@gmail.com with advance notice.
CAN I BRING A CAKE FOR A BIRTHDAY PARTY?
Yes, you can bring a cake if you are ordering other food and drinks, but you will have to bring your own plates and forks. You may not bring any outside beverages and will be asked to leave if you do (this is the law, as we have a full Liquor License here. Not even outside water bottles are allowed).
I'M A MUSICIAN OR DJ LOOKING FOR VENUES TO PLAY AT
Sorry, but we can not book any musicians at the bar - acoustic, original, covers, or otherwise. If you are looking for a small venue space in Arcata, you may want to try our venue The Miniplex.
