A great place to get a 1/2 pound burger. One of the oldest bars in the area (late 1800s) this place also has great food. This used to be a regular tavern for loggers, and then manufacturers including the late Uniroyal factory. Locally sourced beef is used for their burgers. I had the peanut butter with bacon, and garlic cheese curds-both wonderful. Delicious. Also, some great German beer on tap you don’t see a lot or places. Highly recommend this classic tavern!

It’s a little hole-in-the-wall spot with great food! I kept saying everything tasted like it should, the flavors I grew up with. It reminded me of “Cheers” where “everybody knows your name.” It’s a classic, and I definitely want to go back!

Fabulous burgers (try the breakfast burger). Prices were reasonable for the large portion size. You need to serve yourself at the bar. Bartender was accommodating and professional. Drinks were reasonably prices (soda water was a bit flat though). Would definitely return. Very neat decorations are on the walls. Our table was super sticky despite being wiped off (perhaps need a refinish on the table top?).

Burger wasn’t bad, worst part about it was that the mushrooms were from a can! Fries were great! Bartender was new, didn’t know how to make my drink…but he was very nice and polite!

Being one of the oldest and original bars in all of Eau Claire, the Amber Inn seemed like the perfect place to start my reviews for Map To Your Appetite. The Amber Inn was apparently founded in 1881 and the same family have been running it ever since. I have to admit I had been to this place one time before, but I only tried one thing on the menu. This time I decided to go for the full experience. Looking from the outside, it looks like your stereotypical dive bar, a rugged exterior, a half lit sign, and no where to park. Yet, when I walked in I was completely shocked. It is of the most humble and well furbished bars in the entire city. Considering that it is so old, it was amazing how much was actually new and updated. However, it still managed to have that old classic feel, not the worn out classic, but like a nice ‘66 Chevrolet classic. Even though the bar is almost 100 years older than that. After the initial shock wore off, I looked around and saw the bar standards; dim lighting, a pub Style Grill, a couple of televisions, and a place to bet some money, but one of the things that stuck out the most was the “place order here” sign. I thought it was kind of humorous that even if you sat at a booth across the room with a menu and every intention of ordering, you had to get up and order it yourself. It really conveys the “we’ve been around so long we’re not doing extra work to make you happy and if you don’t like it you don’t have to order” mentality that seems to come with all walks of aging. Now they do bring the food out to you, but I thought it a little funny and kind of quirky that as a customer you’re expected to go and order the food for yourself. The food came out surprisingly quick, even though we had shown up about 10 minutes after happy hour. Our appetizers came out in about 10 minutes and our entrees came out 20min after that. Just enough time to enjoy my wings and crisp beer. Now, I could sit here for days and compare it to other pubs and bars in Eau Claire but that’s not really the point of this. In my opinion the food was exactly what you’d expect, but a little simpler that most.. The food was pub food, with a couple unique items, and nothing that I would personally drive out of my way for, but if anybody hasn’t been here before, you absolutely must stop in and at least have a couple drinks, talk to the lovely ladies behind the bar, and take a picture of this comfortingly old classic, and maybe soak in some of what has kept them running for so long.

8/20/2022 called to place my order and the staff was very nice, especially when I called back asking if my burger could be well-done, they said that the burgers are usually medium well. I really appreciated them taking the time to do that for me. They didn’t ask what I wanted on it though, but it was just kinda quick ordeal of me trying to let them know. It ended coming with cheese, lettuce and tomato. Tasted great, had a good amount of toppings, a thick burger and a good bun and I ordered a side of tater tots, also great just wish I had Cajun seasoning or something to go with the tots. Overall I was happy with my order

The OLDEST bar in the area delivers the BEST meal in the area.
Kinda that simple.
I am absolutely addicted, and cannot get enough…
I recommend the jalapeño burger with potato wedges.
