5 Best Beer Bars in Eau Claire

“We're a big fan of 3rd and Vine and highly recommend stopping there for a quick and quiet getaway with friends and family. Make it a tradition and check out their amazing variety of refreshments and charcuterie options.“

“Such a unique experience for ordering and then how you pour your own taps, with an entire wall of tap beers. The atmosphere was excellent! Loved that I could just grab a flight board and load up and try new flavors. I had about 4 Flights. The food was amazing, I had the Seasonal Duck Wontons, the Pancake Battered Cheese Curds, and the Korean BBQ Chicken Flatbread. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This place became an instant favorite and had me wanting to buy their merch on my first visit. I bought a 5oz and a 12 Oz glass and then bought a very nice t shirt as well. Loved it all!“

“Growler Guys is an Eau Claire fixture. When I lived in Eau Claire, this was my regular hang out and I met the love of my life here (no guarantees - but give it a try!) The owner is a stand up guy and the staff really cares about customer experience. It’s a true community spot and even on days off as a busy resident physician, I found myself volunteering for the community events (Mother’s day, Easter, Thanksgiving, etc.) If you are young/new parents, you and your children are so welcome! If you’re single or childless and just want to meet new friends, don’t think twice. For those who limit or don’t drink alcohol, there are plenty of alternatives. This was the first place I ever visited when I moved to Eau Claire (peri-pandemic) and the last place I bid farewell to when I moved. It will always have a special place in my heart. Run, don’t walk folks!“

“Our waitress was fantastic & recommended the spicy ranch with the pickle cheese curds which was so good & the Philly calzone was delish & no joke was GIANT! My husband & I could've definitely split one, but we both had half a calzone left for lunch the next day. Great experience & we will definitely be back for another huge calzone!“

“I came up from Madison to see Kat and the Hats. Amazing entertainment, drinks and friendly staff! Highly recommend!“
