30 Best Bars in Wausau

“Good food, friendly bartenders and great service. The 421 burger is SO good“

“Food and service was amazing! The jerk wings and pickled vegetables were fantastic! Best rice and beans I've had since living in the South! Very impressed, thank you!“

“A classic country bar except for one thing. Simply fantastic food!! We had a double ham and grilled cheese and the special which was a delicious steak sandwich with grilled onions on a toasted hoagie. They even made a great kiddy cocktail for my grandson.“

“Jim’s Corner bar is a hidden gem with amazing chicken wings and a delicious Mushroom Swiss burger. The service is friendly and quick, making it a perfect stop after a day of skiing or snowboarding at Granite Peak. However, it's important to note that they only accept cash, so be sure to come prepared. The atmosphere is great for watching games and chilling out, and they serve fresh, well-made food until late hours. The hot wings are a standout with their crispy texture and spicy kick, perfect for heat enthusiasts. Despite the cash-only policy, this bar is definitely worth a visit for its tasty offerings and enjoyable dining experience.“

“Vote for Cami she is the best!!!“

“Vote for Cami she is the best!!!“

“It's almost like two completely different bars. The outdoor patio with chairs and bag toss is nice when the weather is warm. While indoors is like a small town Wisconsin bar with bluecollar locals. Mainly a beer bar but it's very affordable.“

“It was a hidden gem I’d only heard of. We will be back !!“

“Great Neighborhood Bar. Kevin is a great Manager and Bar Tender. Highly recommended !“

“small but lovely bartenders are great fast on there feet and welcome everyone“

“Crazy place. A chick on corner of bar passed out i think from drugs as she walked into the bathroom fine, her bf carried her out and placed her in a stool then leaned her on the bar . The guy that was with her arguing with the bar tender about if they can buy vodka with an EBT benefits card. I've seen movies with less drama in them. Want to feel great about yourself, come here once in awhile to rebuild your own self esteem! 😆“

“For the first time, my family & I visited this spot on a Friday night for music and food, and we were thoroughly impressed. The food was exceptional, and the rich history of the place added to the experience. Despite how busy it was, the service was remarkably attentive. The burgers & wraps were among the best in town, and the fish fry was absolutely delicious. I’m honestly disappointed I didn’t discover this establishment sooner. We will most certainly be back to visit soon. Don’t lets this one get by you, it was well worth the visit.“

“my friends and I have gone to townies for the last couple years and we have never had a bad meal there!!! great food, great people, great atmosphere!!!“

“Great bar for wausau! I see lots of bad reviews from old employees.. boyfriends of ex employees.. ex patrons etc.. typical behavior from the ones causing the problems.. but now that the trash has taken itself out because management DOES care and won't stand for the behavior the business itself gets trashed.. only bar in the whole town worth going to! Dana is great and has been doing an amazing job the 20ish years she's been there! Highly recommend labor temple and the pizza is amazing!“

“Pork chop was Amazing, my husband loved it! Great service. Will be back!“

“We are a friendly bar & grill..Great food all week long, especially fish fry on fridays serving at 11am til 9pm..come on in.“

“Great place to relax Hang with friends and enjoy the day“

“What a lovely place!   The establishment is in a lovely historic building that has been meticulously restored and decorated with an artsy vibe.  The venue is spotless.  Our committee chose this location for a class reunion, and we could not have been happier. The owner was super accommodating.  The bar service was on point.   If you visit, do try a mojito.  The mint is grown on site by the owner, and what a difference it makes!“

“Some friends and I took a pal of ours out for his birthday. We had a great time, the music was definitely great and the energy was amazing. The staff gave each and everyone detailed attention although they were busy. Josi handled some unruly individuals looking to start trouble in a professional manner. Any event or party, I will recommend this establishment. Josi is one of the most entertaining person I’ve met thus far, not only is she entertaining, she’s very upfront with people.“

“Some family and I went out for a fish fry here. The drinks are reasonably priced and have a good solid pour. My pan-fried Walleye was really good. Two of the five food orders were not correct. One was missing the extra piece of fish, and one had beer battered that was supposed to be baked. The wait staff apologized and brought out the extra fish and offered some free drinks.“

“Wonderful staff. Good prices.“

“The owner is amazing and the bar tenders really know what they’re doing“
