Dive is amazingly trendy, fun place for cocktails. My friend and I visited on Thursday evening and the bar was very quiet. We sat right at the bar and were immediately greeted and served. I chose the Fire in the Sky and my friend had the Sage Advice, a Valentine’s special. Both of the cocktails were so well balanced and tasty! Dive is a great place to sip a drink and talk and that’s exactly what we did. The bartenders were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Although the drinks are definitely on the spendy side, I don’t mind paying a premium for a unique, well-balanced drink. We will definitely be back soon for more tasty sips!

Reserved an igloo for 4 couples. It was freezing!! The heater they had in the igloo was hardly blowing and there was only one small heater that was on max. Not a good experience. When mentioning it to the waitress, she just blew it off. For as much as we spent there, and I must say we did leave a very generous tip. I think they can afford some much better heaters and add to the experience. We were all dressed warm, but still.... come on!

Lemon drop martini lovers: they use amazing house made limoncello!!! Other drinks are great, too. Nice atmosphere with outdoor space.

Dont let the name fool you! Now this place is an upscale classy place to get a tasty old fashioned pizza and a ? . It has indoor and outdoor seating up in the 3rd floor. We love to watch the weather with all those big windows. In the winter mths, they have heated Igloo's on the outside portion Fun. Almost didn't leave a review cause I didn't want everyone to know about this place. Best kept secret in Eau Claire.

It was nice, just wasn’t super impressed with the drinks. Came here to celebrate our anniversary and stayed in the hotel the Dive is part of.The staff were phenomenal and fun; very friendly. The atmosphere was spectacular. We sat in the outdoor seating, and the ambiance was excellent. Especially since we were in town during a jazz fest so there was jazz music playing in the streets that night which just elevated everything.Unfortunately, I was super disappointed with the drinks. They sounded good on paper but the flavors were not coming through in the actual drink. Everything tasted watered down, neutral like there were too many competing flavors, or like ingredients were missing. I actually sent back a drink because it tasted like bitter lime peel and water, none of the floral notes were there (thankfully our waitress was lovely and apologetic and got me a different drink without worry).I came here a lot back in 2018 and I loved the drinks then, so I was disappointed that all the drinks we had were not of the same caliber.

Tasty craft cocktails. We liked the bourbon old fashions but not the purple drink (too many florals competing). Great vibe!

Great cocktail menu. Lovely atmosphere. You can order a pizza from the downstairs restaurant which I did and it was very tasty. Would go again for sure to try more cocktails. The second floor patio was so nice but it was storming so I enjoyed the floor to ceiling windows. Service was attentive.Wheelchair accessibility: Reasonably accessible for people with limited mobility or using a mobility aide. Probably just the entrance to the actual bar might be an obstacle but it was propped open when I got there.
U must go! Amazing views, atmosphere, food, and drinks. Bartenders are next level!

The pizza was good as was the wine. Service was friendly. The pizza took quite a while to come out but we did have 3 ordered. We had ordered cheese curds and Gardettos for “apps”. The cheese curds aren’t what you typically see at a restaurant- they were the cold kind that come in a bag from the grocery store. The app sizes are for about 2-3 people at best- about a 1/2 - 3/4 cup of Gardettos for $3 and $6 for an equal amount of cheese curds. Not ridiculous price but just know ahead of time what you’re getting- it is more of an intimate place so it makes sense the apps aren’t huge but we did have a large group of girls so we ended up ordering more. It’s a soft, relaxing ambiance which makes it feel more upscale. The rooftop is a great view and fun because Eau Claire doesn’t have a lot of rooftop or outdoor seating bars.

Dive is our favorite place whenever we get the chance. It is very close to our house and amazing staff as well. They have a small menu that you can order as well.
