Ive been going to this bar a few times a year for the last few years but the last time we went every beer tasted like dirty tap lines (we got 4 different beers). If youre going to be a beer bar you have to to keep your tap lines clean. Every other time Ive been here the beers have tasted awesome. Hopefully it was just an off week because Ive always enjoyed the feel and tap list at this bar.

Awesome beer selection — not just quantity, but unique choices. The bartender was very knowledgeable about beer. We stopped in on a July afternoon, so doors were open for fresh air. Very cool atmosphere.

I really love The Fire House because they are constantly updating and rotating their menu. This is a wonderful place to go if you want to try something new. All the bartenders I have met seem to be very personable and help me picking the best beers for my taste.Even when they are busy, I have always got my drink in a timely fashion. Good music, darts to play, and you can definitely go to have a great conversation. Love this place!

The bar with the 2nd most taps in Eau Claire. Only beer though. No ciders or kombucha or Mead or sangria. I think they make mixed drinks. They have trivia nights, dartboards. Its located in a great spot downtown. My server Clayton was one of the most knowledgeable bartenders Ive ever had, great reccomendations. They have flights available.

Many different, excellent beers to choose from at fair prices, but no table service...Is what it is and great for what it is. Could be better however...

This place is located off of Barstow and is extremely difficult to find parking depending on the day of the week. It has excellent beer selection and seems to always be packed in the later evening. I will be honest its one of the places I will stop by before another bar or getting food but is really going to be different for each person.

Good beer selection. Music is a bit loud for quiet conversation, but not bad. Darts, big screens, foosball style hockey game. For a wide variety of ages also.

Incredible selection of outstanding beers! I was blown away to see Deschutes Black Butte Porter on tap... My favorite beer, even better from the keg!Great service and atmosphere that allowed us to talk with friends for a couple of hours, *without* having to yell over other people.Appropriately lit bar. Clean bathrooms. 38 taps! Im not from here, but there is no question I would hang out here if I did.

Really unique bar in downtown Eau Claire. Authentic Midwestern atmosphere. The only things youll see on the menu here are a few options for frozen pizza and over 90 beers on tap. Also, free popcorn.

Great selection of beer, always rotating too! The staffs are always super friendly. The place is great because you get to enjoy the wind without actually being outdoor and it’s never too crowded.

Very unique venue in the nice little city of Eau Claire. Great ambience. It is an old fire house of course. Nice open front to take advantage of some great weather. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Great beer selection with solid representation from all over WI, but plenty of guests from MN & IL as well as some east/west coast coverage. Good number of TVs for watching your get of choice. Full pints or halves, and flights are all options! Do not walk by without stopping in and checking it out!!

Always has a really good and interesting selection of taps that are always fresh. Every time that I come here I get something new, and I am always happy with what I get. Also, the staff is very knowledgeable about what they are serving and is very friendly as well which is always a plus.

This is the happening place in Eau Claire. This place is pretty chill and crowded on weekends. Everyone in this town seem to be very very nice and friendly. ( But then I always feel like everybody is nice when I go out of NYC) . Anyway this place has a good selection of beers and if you are into cocktails the bartender can make you one. But definitely go for beers.

Review №28

Super cool venue in a former fire station. The beer selection is the best Ive found in Eau Claire. They keep it fresh and rotate their 38 taps to keep it seasonal. The service has been great every time I stop in. Definitely worth a visit if youre into craft beer.

I love the firehouse! They always have a giant selection of beer. Even though they have a large selection of beer they make amazing bloodies and old fashions. They always have arguely the greatest bar tenders in Eau Claire. They dont have live music often but when they do the sound is decent.

Its pricey lets not kid ourselves. Its downtown not a water street bar, but its eau Claire pricey which isnt Minneapolis pricey so do what you will with that knowledge. However this place has got to have the largest selection of craft brews on tap. Its got a great location and a great vibe. Go here and have a few.

50 something beers on tap. A smaller place but its right downtown. Only thing Id change would be more than just beer on tap. Id pay money for a hard cider or Kombucha on tap.

I went to this bar tonight with a couple of friends trying to play some darts and get some drinks. Instead we showed up to a bartender who clearly didn’t understand the service industry. Everyone in the bar was uncomfortable because of this bartender. I put money into the jukebox and it took my money and didn’t play anything because the bartender was playing his own music. Instead of having a reasonable conversation with me, he yelled and made a scene in front of everyone. I tried to talk with this bartender but he intended to make a scene and become completely unreasonable. I will never come back to this bar.

Great section of different microbrews. Very friendly staff and will help you figure out what beers to try. Went to the 3 Floyds takeover and was able to talk to some of the people that work there. Part of the deal was getting a 3 Floyds glass. The bartender wrapped it up to try and keep it from breaking in the saddle bag...well it worked. Customer service is awesome. Albeit a little pricey for drinking downtown. However thats for the different microbrews.

Great craft beer selection, Full bar, friendly staff, plenty of seating, open and airy in the summertime, free popcorn, & they will cook a frozen pizza if you are hungry. Seems like they occasionally do tap takeovers too. Whats not to love? Ill be back next time Im in downtown Eau Claire.

Great and formative bartenders. We like being there a lot, but had to leave after one drink because of the noise. With the music so loud and the acoustics it was impossible to talk. May try to go back on a slower night.

Apparently the bartender wasnt prepared to actually WORK on a Saturday afternoon! I realize that an entire wedding party and many guests was probably NOT the normal for 5pm ....but she spent much of her time texting and on her cell phone...very long wait for drinks! The mead I had was excellent...just took forever to get waited on while the bartender girl was busy on her phone....

Ugh. A great place for beer enthusiasts IF you can get service. Can be a little daunting to walk up to the bar during busy times and fight for a bartenders attention. But Im told buy my fellow beer enthusiasts friends that this place is worth it.

Review №87

Great beer selection. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICEI went here a week ago to check out the 30+ beers on tap. I got one pint from the less than friendly bartender and it was tasty, but a bit flat. I ordered one of the Lucette beers and it was absolutely awful. I asked the other bartender if it was supposed to taste like that and he told me that it was a screw up from when they were trying to make their Easy Rider Ale. I thought it was a bit odd that they would buy a beer that was a mistake. I made it clear to the bartender that the beer was bad, but he didnt offer to swap out my beer and walked away. I asked the first bartender and she informed me that she could not pour me a different beer and walked away. I couldnt actually believe the lack of customer service. All she had to do was offer me a different $6 beer that they pay $1 for and I would have been a customer for life. Instead, they lost me as a customer and I will now tell everyone I know (and you) that they should never give this place their business. Enough said.

The selection of brews are vast! I try a new one each time I go there. My favorite is Potosi Steamboat Shandy, but they have a blueberry flavor that is damn fine.During the warmer months I am able to bring along my dog Beau (yes, theyre dog-friendly, as long as your pooch is well-behaved). I love it because I can walk there from my house, and Beau loves it because of all the popcorn people give/drop to him.Ive even gone there just for the live music. Its that great of a place.
