Clancy's

Saturday evening we decided to take a trip to historic downtown for an evening with those of you at Clancy's. Clancy's is located at 414 South Barstow Street in downtown Eau Claire. Known in some circles as the "Irish Parrot Bar", Clancy's is a place where you can find sports on the tube, socializing, drinking, smoking, pool, darts, and most often closing time...

Five us made the trip down to Clancy's tonight and at around 10pm the bar contained 10 girls and 10 guys for a nice 1:1 Sausage Factor with a nice Attractiveness Rating of 7/10. The first thing we noticed was that the music here is different than most bars we frequent. Instead of being over-bearing the music at Clancy's is just loud enough to enjoy, but not so loud that the crowd produces a dull roar from having to yell conversations back and forth.

At Clancy's you will find 2 dart boards, 3 video machines, 2 arcade games, 2 TVs playing sports (football this evening), 1 pool table, and a jukebox. There isn't a kitchen at Clancy's so if you're hungry for sit-down food you'll want to have it enroute. The bar's layout is somewhat small, but that's normal throughout the historic downtown area. It's great for socializing but may not be suitable for large parties.

We spent a lot of time doing what Clancy's is good for, socializing with our friends. This is especially nice after a long day. At midnight there were 19 guys to the 15 girls present for a Factor of 1.27. The Attractiveness Rating stayed strong at a 7/10.

We really enjoyed our experience at Clancy's, the bartenders are great and ready to participate in a round of shots whenever the opportunity presents itself. The restrooms are kept up and the history of the place sets the mood as soon as you enter the doors. We came up with a 5/5 Beer Rating for one of Eau Claire's great closing-time bars before heading up to O'leary's to catch a local cover band, the Elements, for some fun song and dance.

Beer Rating: 5/5
Sausage Factor: 1.14
Attractiveness Rating: 7/10
