The Phoenix Taproom & Kitchen — Restaurant in Eau Claire

Very unique experience and a lot of fun. An amazing array of beers that you pour yourself. First go to the front desk. They look at your drivers license get a credit card in their system. You add your phone number in their system and then they hand you a red card (like a credit card) that you use to get the drinks. Each card has a maximum of 64 ounces. So if there’s two of you and you’re gonna have a really good time, you might get two cards, one for each person. 😀 They will explain how the system works once you’re there. Pick out the size glass you want. Get your beer, and find a table. They have both inside and outside deck seating. On the table is a code to scan with your phone. Then you get a link to the menu where you can put in an order. A very efficient system. The staff were wonderful and very helpful and the taproom is very clean. The food was...

Great selection on drinks From beer to cocktails (do wish there were more varietals of lagers and porters) Atmosphere is very nice and great potential with an outdoor patio by the river.

No real server which is fine by me get everything through a link and a QR code for your table is quick and convenient. I look forward to seeing how they improve in the next few months. We...

The margarita flatbread description is: (Topped with fresh tomatoes, creamy mozzarella cheese, and fragrant basil, all drizzled with a touch of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic drizzle on a perfectly crispy flatbread.) It actually is not topped with tomatoes at all, the flatbread is covered with with "what I assume is a homemade" tomato sauce which is loaded with onions, then layered with mozzarella cheese & basil. Based on the menu description & the fact that most margarita flatbreads do not contain onion, I didn't ask if it did. I could not eat it due to having an onion allergy, so my husband ate it- the description should be more accurate. The pancake cheese curds, those were phenomenal & the self pour tap was a great selection. So 4 stars instead of 5 due to the misleading food...
