The Bullpen on Bellinger Street
The Bullpen Sports Bar is located down at 1522 Bellinger Street in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
This Blog entry is by Joey Z.
Let me set the stage here... I was out and about and one of my good friends called me up and said come to the Bullpen it's my going away party. I had known about this but it slipped my mind so it was a good thing he called. I get there about 8:30 and ordered a Mich Golden Tap, which came in a nice frosted mug. I sat down at the bar, swept away a bunch of peanuts that were all over the floor under me and got everything out took a count of the crowd and started to ask some questions...
The layout of the bar is fair with 3 TVs over the bar and 1 over the front window. There are 2 pool tables and 2 dartboards for recreational activities. The bar is very NASCAR oriented. There are lots of racing memorabilia everywhere. Fantasy Racing is a big thing. Don't really know what all that entails but sounds a lot like your average Fantasy Football leagues.
As the bartender was letting me in on the background of the bar she asked if I need another beer, and instead of using the same glass it was another ice cold mug.
I waited to take an official count till 9pm and came up with 22 men and only 6 women. This is a hefty 3.67 Sausage Factor. The Attractiveness Rating wasn't too high, probably around a 5/10. Here's a good picture of my buddy with the bartender.
Since it was a going away party for my buddy we made sure to get him quite toasted to remember his last night out (or maybe our intent was that he not remember haha) before he had to hop the plane to Florida. Prices weren't that bad if you ask me... a Pitcher runs $5.00, 8oz tappers $0.75, Mugs $1.50 and Shots with Red Bull only $3.50...
As the night went on we had some fun playing dice, the bartender even stepped in a couple of rounds... As everyone knows at some point in time you need to take a break and go the restroom.
To be honest with you I wasn't really impressed with the restroom at all... The urinal is mounted way to high on the wall and it isn't one of them full length ones so if you are a shorter person you can't really use it. The toilet stall didn't have a door on it either but for a lot of people that isn't really a concern I guess...
We ended up leaving at 10:20 to go to another establishment. When we left there were 23 men and only 4 women bringing the Sausage Factor up to a 5.75. The Attractiveness Rating was roughly the same at 5/10.
All in all I would give the place a Beer Rating of 3/5 Beers. It's a nice place to relax and enjoy a few beers while talking about NASCAR and shoot some pool, but the Sausage Factor was high and the restrooms were slightly lacking.
Beer Rating: 3/5
Sausage Factor: 4.71
Attractiveness Rating: 5/10
The Verve Pipe and Polydream at The Stones Throw
Two weeks in a row of national headlining bands, this time we made it out to another Wednesday evening of music featuring The Verve Pipe with the semi-local Madison band Polydream opening up the show.
We were very impressed with Polydream's great sound and strong vocals. Polydream's myspace page claims a sound similar to the likes of Oasis, Foo Fighters, U2, and others. We think they may have been influenced by bands like those, but they have definitely been able to develop their own sound. They seem to be able to put their own feelings into their music to reach an effect that is awesome to listen to. Great sound guys and great music!
Polydream started the evening out and here are a few clips of what they have to offer:
The Verve Pipe hit the stage at around 11pm and livened up the place with a lengthy set of music including their hit song "The Freshmen":
We'll be posting more footage from this evening soon so stay tuned!

Drowning Pool, Adema, No Loving Place, Orestus
Who says you can't rock it out on a Wednesday night?! Well no one can say that anymore because last night was an explosive evening of hard rock with some excellent local talent and great national acts all together on one stage at The Stones Throw in downtown Eau Claire, Wisconsin! Drowning Pool, Adema, No Loving Place, and Orestus all on one night, all on one stage for a hard-rocking feverish night of loud music and great drinks.
We tried to show up early this evening, but were delayed enroute and found a huge line when we arrived. By the time we were able to get ourselves situated upstairs on the mezzanine at around 8pm the place was already totally packed. Tonight's show would definitely be standing room only!
In between sets we were able to speak with some of the guys that head up the Northwoods Rock Rally. These guys were having a great time and some of the girls we spoke to mentioned that the party bus drinking activities started as early as 1pm for most of those on the bus! Wow! The next time there's an activity like this in the Chippewa Valley Area you might want to check out the Northwoods Rock Rally Party Bus!
Band Notes:
Orestus led the night off with some hardcore rock - we got there as their set was winding down and had just enough time to enjoy a beer as they finished up.
No Loving Place was able to put in an extended set since Adema's bus was having Wisconsin weather issues. The crowd thoroughly enjoyed the extra music NLP was able to throw at it.
Despite having some weather issues with the bus, Adema was able to come in out of the cold and rock some new music off their latest album "Kill the Headlights".
Drowning Pool finished the night out with some "Old School Drowning Pool" as lead singer Ryan McCombs would call it. A tribute to the soldiers fighting in Iraq as well as those that have already come home or have served in the past - these hard-hitting, fist-raising rock songs would fill The Stones Throw with a fever and angst that drove out the cold and created a sweat on everyone in the place!
Hats off to the guys down at The Stones Throw for putting together another excellent evening of hard rocking music with some national headlining bands. Great job guys!

Adrian Klenz & The Sextet - House of Rock
Last week we were able to experience an invasion down on Water Street. No, there weren't little green martians coming out of silver discs tromping all over the bar district. Instead we witnessed an invasion of music, great music, music not often heard in an Eau Claire bar. Last Thursday we participated in Jazz Night at the House of Rock. The talented musicians of The Sextet gave us an experience in music that has not often been represented in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The Sextet consists this evening of Evan Benidt on Saxophone, Keith "A Town" K. on Trumpet, Brandon C. on Keys, Jeremy Boettcher on Bass, and Sean Carey on Drums, and of course Adrian Klenz at Vocals.
Enough with the chatter let's get to the music. Here we have a song familiar to so many of us - Frank Sinatra's "Angel Eyes".
Let's not forget the instrumental talent featured this evening, here is a nice set of music from the band members as well as some footage where we were able to capture a great bass solo from Jeremy Boettcher.
If you liked this music and Jazz in general you will be happy to hear that The House of Rock will be continuing this venue and you can see The Sextet perform again on December 6th and 20th starting at 9pm both nights. All footage and content found here on the blog is, as always, courtesy of Eau Claire Bars - the Blog. We hope you enjoy the footage!

Court 'N House Karaoke Night
A few weeks back our little crew made it out to the Court 'N House down on . Thursday nights are "Karaoke Night" and we were able to witness one of the most exciting karaoke experiences ever haha... This was by far the most active karaoke night we've been to. The crowd was actually interested and were caught cheering for the singers up on the stage - some of the best feedback we've seen to date. The DJ for the evening is Nick Arnold from Shawtown Productions, you can find out more karaoke information at Shawtown.com.
The Court 'N House is a smaller bar, yet still has a kitchen to serve food to its patrons. We were able to pull up a table and a booth very close to the karaoke stage and witnessed many great performances. If you want to order something from the kitchen you'll be able to choose from 14 different appetizers, 4 baskets, 9 burgers, and 3 sandwiches. There are 3 different salads for those of you looking for a lighter food experience. The food is great and they have many specials throughout the week that won't hit your wallet too hard. One such special is the $7.50 pitcher & pizza special on Sundays.
When we arrived it was around 9:30pm and the Sausage Factor weighed in at a 1.84 with 19 girls and 35 guys and the Attractiveness Rating was judged to be around 6/10.
I chose to drink some Long Island Ice Teas this evening and was happy to find out that they are not made from a mix. They are pretty big with lots of alcohol so I'd suggest limiting yourself and be sure to have a sober driver! Somehow I received a discount on my first couple and was happy to indulge in the savings. The Court 'N House also makes up a pretty good Bloody Mary if that's a drink that interests you from time to time.
Later in the evening around midnight we took our 2nd set of readings and found the Sausage Factor to tame down a bit to a 1.67 and the Attractiveness Rating rose to a 7/10.
Getting back to the music I need to make sure that I post this video first. This young lady was the most active karaoke participant of the evening and should receive props for her "stage presence". Without further ado I give you "Bohemian Rhapsody" - Court 'N House style!
And on to another great clip - this time we have Dirk Damage performing "Rebel Yell". We hope to see more karaoke action soon from the Dirk Damage Project. Awesome performance man!
We don't want to forget some Iron Maiden karaoke action from resident rock-star Tommy.
Here are a couple more notable performances.
And lets not forget to include some music from the DJ himself Nick Arnold.
The Sausage Factor may have been a little on the high side and the Attractiveness Rating average, but the Fun Factor was huge and this karaoke experience was definitely a 5/5 thanks to the great crowd and fantastic singers. Great times were had by everyone present for this evening of great karaoke, drinks, and food.
Beer Rating: 5/5
Sausage Factor: 1.76
Attractiveness Rating: 7/10

Girls Gone Wild @ The Pickle
Last Friday night was a blast! Eau Claire Bars - the Blog has exclusive pictures from the Girls Gone Wild pit stop at The Pickle on Water Street in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Many, many people made it down to The Pickle for the fun and festivities. I'm sure a lot of you have heard about it on the news or read about it in the Leader Telegram. From what we could gather this trip into Eau Claire wasn't really planned and circumstances fell together spur of the moment, but once word spread people starting coming out of the woodwork! Everyone knows that it isn't rare to hit capacity anyway at The Pickle and this was another one of those occasions.
The crowd was very festive for the duration of the evening. Lots of people dancing and singing along to the music spun by resident DJ and "Best Dancer in Eau Claire" Cory Shay.
Now to the pictures, because we've already noticed hundreds of visitors scanning the blog in the past couple days... Time to show you what you've been waiting to see!
Of course not everyone was happy to see the Girls Gone Wild Tour Bus in town. There were some protesters out and about as well. But, just like owner Jed Hart described the night was going to be, we didn't witness any nudity and it turned out to be just another enjoyable evening for all.
Here are a couple video clips of the evening for your viewing pleasure.

Two Waters
It was nearing the end of our Lake Hallie excursion and we decided to try to find out where Two Waters bar is located. We had heard about this bar from some fine ladies way back during our coverage of The Carp's Carp Calendar Cutie Contest at "The Buck" in Menomonie, Wisconsin. We knew that it was somewhere in the Lake Hallie area and so we ask for directions at the VFW on Starr Avenue. After much confusion and some hand-written directions we finally wound our way through the back roads of Lake Hallie until we ended up at 2940 109th Street just on the outskirts of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Had it been during the daylight hours I'm certain it would have been easier, but at midnight it's definitely not so easy.
We arrived fairly late in the evening so we'll reserve the actual Beer Rating and review for a later date. For now here is a bit of information about the place.
Two Waters has both a pool table and a foosball table for your gaming pleasure. They also have 4 TVs for watching your very sports teams or other shows while throwing back a few beers. A corner area of the bar is set aside for their Karaoke Machine and that area is also home to live bands every Friday night.
A lot of you may already know this, but for those that don't Two Waters is the end-point for FATFAR. FATFAR stands for Frenchtown Annual Tubing Float and Regalia which is an annual river tubing event in the Chippewa Valley. The view of the river from Two Waters is great you should check it out!

VFW on Starr Ave
After our stop at Hobbsy & Me, we pressed on to the VFW at 1300 Starr Avenue for more of the Hallie area bar scene. Many of you already know about the history of VFW or Veterans of Foreign Wars, for those of you that don't you can follow this link for more information.
When we arrived we noticed they have 5 TVs playing sports as well as some war movies. There are 5 video machines in a hall area near the restrooms. The restrooms are very expansive with nice handicap access and are clean and stocked.
As far as the numbers go, at midnight we found there to be 7 guys and 2 girls and an Attractiveness Rating of around a 6/10. Our bartender Kasie was great and seemed very comfortable with the atmosphere here at the VFW.
The greatest part about our short stay at the VFW was the price of our beer. We paid $1.25 for a mug of Leinie's Oktoberfest. Very nice price for tap beer in the Eau Claire area! It was because of these great prices that we decided upon a 4/5 Beer Rating this evening, the Sausage Factor and Attractiveness Rating might call for something closer to a 3/5 but you just can't beat these prices!
Beer Rating: 4/5
Sausage Factor: 3.5
Attractiveness Rating: 6/10
