The only place to go on St Patties Day. But the rest of the year is a must go also. Hot hams and bean soup are the best!

Best corn beef and cabbage dinner on Saint Patties day in Eau Claire. Appears to have numerous call for takeout orders phone always ringing. Camaraderie at tavern is wonderful

This is a classic bar with hometown atmosphere. The service was fast and friendly. It is a fully stocked bar but only about 6-8 beers on tap and most very traditional big brands. I was there for lunch and had the ham cheese sandwich based on the reviews. It was a large sandwich served on a paper dessert size plate. It was similar to eating leftovers home, not very interesting but filling. That plus chips and a tap beer under $13.

rays is great whenever the two random girls aren't working together. they will sit at the other end of the bar, eat, talk, refuse eye contact, and all around just not pleasant. we arrived and immediately they glare at us. "need your ids" no hi how are you, no you're welcomes, just very poor service. jay, joe and jess are awesome! they always make me feel welcome. i understand if you're trying to be safe and ID everyone, but there are ways to do that without making guests want to leave immediately after entering.

You can't go wrong with Ray's! I am a huge fan of their hot ham sandwiches. No cheese or condiments needed for me. The meaty ham and tasty gravy always hits the spot. Husband had pea soup which was served nice and hot. Bloody Mary and beers on a Saturday afternoon seals the deal. Capable service. Love the divey neighborhood vibe of the place.
