The Plus — Restaurant in Eau Claire

Five of us stopped for a beer last night, three other people at the bar, dining room was closed. NEVER have any of us experienced such absolute rudeness from a bartender!! We had questions about the beer on tap, he reluctantly replied to some of us, we’re IPA drinkers and asked for a sample of a beer not known by any of us. He rudely insinuated that we didn’t believe what he was telling us, we got one sample that we all tried as he stood staring at us as if he was busy and we were holding him up!! We ordered our beers, he practically threw them at us, by this time we were appalled and embarrassed that someone would treat anyone like he did! When he started to pull the beers one of us asked if we could have a glass glass instead of the plastic, again obviously irritated by the question told us “the dishwasher is broken”. Ok, no problem we drank our beers, when I was almost done he got a cold glass out of the cooler and put it down in front of me!??? All the while he was talking to the few other people at the end of the bar, friends/staff, only when one of us asked to pay with the credit card and close out did he come back. As they were looking over the slips to sign he made another rude comment “is there a problem with the charges?” No! Give us a chance to actually sign it!! We did plan to order apps but after his rudeness all we wanted to do was drink our beer and leave. NEVER AGAIN WILL WE GO TO THE PLUS!!! I had heard comments about rude bartenders at The Plus but I prefer to make my own judgements, none of us have ever been...

Came here on a Saturday for dinner with my kids and a wrestling event in the converted dining room.

I'll qualify the service by saying it was very busy. However, it took almost 10 minutes for the host to even notice us and request our table. Another 10 minutes for the server to get our drink order. 20 minutes to finally get notified that our appetizer order (East Coast fries) got missed - apparently there was an issue with the ticketing system. Finally after an hour, we were eating our dinner.

The server was extremely pleasant, apologetic and provided a discount for our inconvenience.

We ordered the artisan roll, a BBQ chicken pizza, and an order of boneless wings. The artisan roll is like a hot pocket/calzone but waaaay better. Soft and buttery with the right amount of cheese. It's by far the best thing we ate. The wings were super crispy and slathered in sauce. A little too much breading, but solid. The pizza was fine, not great. The crust was a perfectly char-speckled bottom with crispy edges. However, the toppings were bland and there was no cilantro in sight (the menu said cilantro was included and the pizza really needed it). The chicken on top was dry and the green pepper chonks looked like they were cut with a plastic spoon.

The wrestling event was fun and rowdy, but borderline family friendly. The lighting was really bad, but I think that's more on the wrestling promoter.

Overall, a good time and we would come back. Probably skip dinner and just do...

It's a nice little bar at a glance and great they host live events! We went to check it out from a local reccomendation and it was a very distasteful experience. Service was ok, place minimally kept and of course got a bar pour with fruit flies in it. The staff double checked and re-poured with little issue, which was nice. We were hoping for karaoke, which was a massive discredit. It became quickly obvious this is a locals only place. There was the group of 5 pretty drunk, very loud, and a couple really (like really) bad singers that occupied the karoeoke the entire evening. It was absolutely regulars and the staff catered to their own private bar night with their friends. The Mrs was even straight lied to that "there were no more credits" (it is a touch tunes based system and you pay for your own so I knew that was false) and the same person said karaoke was done for the night when we went to see what could be played. We stayed for another drink and watched the same locals contuinue to play / sing with no obvious ending for another 20+ minutes and then we called it quits. Will absolutely never go back and it was bad enough with the local click circle that used the venue for their own private party night that it...
