Established in 1880 The Glass Hat is the oldest consecutively run bar in Wisconsin & oldest bar in Wausau. Completely renovated it’s often referred to as the best looking bar in town. Once you walk through the original glass block front entrance you’ll see the gorgeous fiber optic glass block bar. The original, over 140 yr old ceiling is stunning. Order your favorite drink and walk around. You’ll find fabulous art painted on the walls, cool light fixtures, decor made of bicycle parts all done by local artists and employees. Be sure to check the bathrooms too. On any given night you’ll find the best bartenders in town and an eclectic clientele. The bar has a super cool vibe and a great place for newcomers to feel welcome.
no good, but great drinks. Enjoyed nice music, good beer, and a friendly game of giant Jenga. Great place to hang.

We’re from Madison, Wisconsin and stopped by this cute bar after a day on the slopes. We had an amazing experience here, lots of games and entertainment, the ambiance was very fun too. Bartenders were AMAZING as well. After we left one of us happened to forget our jacket and the owner went completely out of her way to find me on FB and mail it back to us. We will be back Glass Hat!!!!

I had a great time playing pool and jenga. We started getting hungry so the owner offered to pick up pizza for us. Very nice lady.
