Northern Tap House
Northern Tap House has a very large selection of tap beers that rotates regularly, so there is always something new to try. They concentrate on Wisconsin beers, but there is a variety from other places as well. The photo is of their all-you-can-eat Friday Walleye Fish Fry, which is highly recommended
The Growler Guys
Growler Guys is an interesting concept. They sell a very large number of beers, ciders, and meads on tap. The taps range wildly in price, and are always rotating so you can always surprise yourself when you go there. I have had some delicious pours at Growler Guys and I am particularly impressed that they always have a very nice selection of ciders on tap from around the country. They now also serve Komucha. See the link below for what is on tap today.
Bug-Eyed Betty's
Bug-Eyed Betty's has become a local favorite, and with good reason. The food is always a little more interesting than the average restaurant and bar in the area, and is all reasonably priced considering the above-average quality.
There is always a good selection of wine and beer, and the happy-hour specials make them all affordable. Note also that Betty's has a reputation of doing good things for the local community - always worth considering.
Company Coffee House
This restaurant/coffee shop is located in the former Knapp, Stout, and Co. General Store, so it is of historical interest - but don't go there for that. Go for the great coffee and food, much of which is locally sourced. The baked goods are great old-fashioned items, made at the restaurant with love. There are many interesting menu items for breakfast and lunch, all of which are recommended.
Keep in mind that they are not open for dinner (except recently on Thursdays - check with them to be sure) and they are open six days per week- but never on Saturday.
Red Coal BBQ
New BBQ restaurant featuring local smoked meats in the former location of Samboney's and Al's Dog Haus in Eau Claire.
Ramone's Ice Cream Parlor
New kid on the block old-fashioned ice cream parlor with hand-dipped cones, malts, pies and coffee. Lines are running out the door on hot days, so be prepared to wait, but it's worth it. Chocolate Shoppe ice cream is great. Many flavors.

Eau Claire Food Truck Interactive Map
