Bartender took a $50 for 2 domestic beers and then gave me $14 in change then after I questioned it he gave me back $20 knowing he riped me off. Shady employees!!! Wont be spending another dime in that bar. He proceeded to think I was drunk when I was actually sober and called him out for being a thief. If you hire a thief your no better than the employees you employ. WHY WOULD YOU GIVE ME BACK $20, IF YOU SWEAR YOU GAVE ME BACK PROPER CHANGE.

Lots of history here. A cross between a dive bar and historical relics (old beer cans, music memorabilia, and bar history). There is a relatively small selection of beer and liquor here. This is a neat place for a drink and a stroll around to view the history.
Bartender was friendly. Other patrons tended to be in the hipster side (you make the judgment call if that’s good, bad or indifferent). Note there is not a good sign on the exterior of the bar, so look for the awning.

Great bar with a laid back atmosphere. Great selection of beers on tap. Cool vintage jukebox and beer can decorations.

Absolutely love this place to catch up with friends in a relaxed atmosphere. Almost never too loud, amazing artworks and musical artists who have played there in the past decades lining the walls. This place has been around a while.
Bartenders are great with friendly vibes, love the clutter, vintage beer cans and knickknacks lining the mirror behind the bar.
Has a TV for sports but the volume is kept down which is SO appreciated and it’s not obnoxious sized. Jukebox with great hits. Highly recommend.

Before i even moved to EC, the Joynt had been recommended to me as my sort of place. It made some sense, it has a history of being the bar where many great artists took their place in Eau Claire history, performing in the cramped conditions not for the prestige, but because it was the place where real artists performed and where real artists were. Crumb on the walls, Grain Belt on tap, I believed the recommendations.
I understood that they hadn’t had shows in years, but who was I to blame them? Times have been tough. Their jukebox was decent, and the vibes were acceptable.
A few visits in, a while back, a friend I had invited got chewed out by a bartender for initiating conversation with some other patrons. I thought that was what bars were for, at least to some extent, so I pocketed away the information, but thought little of it. Perhaps he had gone too far, I hadn’t witnessed it. Later that evening, another bartender apologized for his coworkers actions, and we all moved on.
Recently, the exact same bartender came up to me mid drink and accosted me because he perceived a slight in my “attitude” when entering the bar. I genuinely do not know what I did to offend this person. I was enjoying a pitcher (served by an entirely different bartender) and conversation with other regulars, but after such an interruption of my patronage with the same rude bartender, I cannot continue to excuse it. Once I can forgive, twice is a pattern.
Two stars for history. No more for the fact that they are a mere shadow of their past. No shows and terrible service. A cramped venue that might justify itself on having something special, but they don’t. Rude bartenders, limited drink selection, no seating. Go to the mousetrap, or the firehouse, or anywhere else. Such a shame to see what was once a great bar ride on its coattails.

The best bar in all of Eau Claire BY FAR! Cheap beer, fantastic and personable bar tenders, and a trendy atmosphere. All types are welcome, but just remember, NO LIGHT BEER!

Used to be great, now, not so much. The Joynt has lost a lot of flavor in the last +5 years. Bartenders have zero personality and are very rude. The regulars basically live there. It has great decor & pool table, for sure, but not worth it if you are looking for a good time with a group of friends. Almost forgot to mention: the place is a breeding grounds for bacteria, it is almost as if the bartenders only wipe the bar down with water and neglect everything else. The bathroom is beyond disgusting.10/10 would not go again.

The Joynt never changes. Well, tiny details do but not the big stuff. Basically, it’s the same as the first time I set foot in it in college back in the 80s. And that’s just fine by me.
