Our daughter wanted to introduce us to the favorite bar for her and her friends. For a college bar in a college town, it's got a unique chill vibe. No club music, but rather a nice mix of classic rock to more modern alternative. Darts, pool, and places to hang. My only complaint is that the pours on my bourbon and scotch were pretty skimpy. Regardless, a cool joint.

A great lowkey bar with lots of seating. Only plays bangers.

I will say the ambiance is pretty cool. That's about it. I was recommended to drink "The Delusion" by a friend and I absolutely love a mystery. However I am allergic to amaretto and I asked if it had amaretto in it and the bartender said "I can't tell you". I understand that there are "secret recipes" but when allergies are involved you should definitely be more transparent and clear.

I would give less than 1 star if I could. Horrible service. The drinks are awful, and the lemonade is gross and tastes like rusty, stale water. When attempting to bring this up to the manager, I was presented by the manager in a very rude manner and was told to “get over it.” Extremely dirty and disgusting bar. Worst place in Eau Claire by far. Don’t waste your time or money.

Used to go to this bar back in the day, stopped in there for one beer 20yrs later and it hasn't changed a bit.

Very disappointed in how this establishment holds themselves and how their bouncer (s) hold themselves. I have bartended in Eau Claire at a very similar bar for years and will not go back after Halloween weekend. My boyfriend reached out on their Facebook page in regards to a situation that occurred, and they read the complaint with no response back. Next time, I will have the police handle their bouncer.
