Beers on tap you can’t find anywhere in region.
The pizza was well enjoyed, as I ordered it during a Packers game on one of their many screens. Definitely recommend this spacious spot.
7 hour shift. 1 hour work meeting. 6 hour drive. I was in dire need of beer/food and sleep once I arrived in Eau Claire to hang with my friend Tim for a few days. It was close to 9:30pm when I arrived and our choice of places was pretty limited. Luckily The Growler Guys was still open.
Upon entering a completely empty bar, the bartender greeted us and got us up-to-date on their beer offerings and a contest among local breweries they were having. Tim and I tried a few different samples before settling on a drink and some food. The contest intrigued me so I took a flight of the contestants. Tim grabbed a cider and we sat and caught up on life and nerdy things.
While I was sipping my samples and Tim was enjoying his cider, our food came out. I got their Pizza Hero sub and Tim got a Calzone. The sub was okay at best. It could’ve been cooked a bit longer as it came out lukewarm and was floppy. For it being a ‘toasted sub’, it was lacking the toasting for sure. It wasn’t the fullest of flavor either but I wasn’t in a time and place to be needy about food. Tim said he enjoyed his calzone but it wasn’t anything to rave over.
The samples I had ranged from great to not good. I don’t remember which ones I got but two of them were cream ales and one of those was a coconut one and that was just not my jam. The lager was decent as well as the other non-cream but overall, not typically beers I would order (aside from the lager). I cast my vote for the lager as I turned in my glasses.
Any who, we sat there for about an hour and had the whole place to ourselves. A few people popped in and left but none really stuck around. I really enjoyed the vibe of the place. The bartender was fantastic at entertaining us for the little bit we were at the bar. I am addicted to milkcap pull tabs and he helped fix the machine so I could buy a few and share them with Tim. There is also a giant pile of board games to play if you come here with a group of people.
Speaking of that… if I lived in the area, this is definitely a place I would push my friends to come to for hanging out. Plenty of space for drinking and board gaming with 40+ beers on tap. This was definitely a good stop for the night and a good start to a short trip to Eau Claire.
Cheers, readers!
Loved the board games, the samples to test, the daily events and friendliness….so cool. I will be back when traveling through!!! The pic of empty samples were a few of us lol, just thought it was a cool photo!
