Whiskey Dicks - Take Two

Wow what a busy week is was last week! Classes start up again soon and you can definitely tell by how busy the night life in Eau Claire has been recently. We spent this past weekend out and about on Water Street but I'll have to write about that a bit later. Right now we're going to go into last Saturday night's fun at Whiskey Dicks. It was the 25th of August and we arrived around 10:30pm after a primer at Double Days. This was our second review of Whiskey Dicks. Since we hadn't been there in a while, we thought we should see if they were still living up to their reputation.


The entrance area was not so busy this evening. Most of the action was in the main bar on the dance floor and out on the patio where many people were playing the bean bag toss game. When we took our head count we found a Sausage Factor of 1.24 with 41 guys and 33 girls total. This was pretty good and not far off from the last time we were here. The Attractiveness Rating starting the night out was close to a 9/10 which was definitely nice.


To start the evening out we headed straight for the patio and the tiki bar. I would have to say that this area is our favorite. There was a total of 11 of us out this evening for drinks and fun. Some of us reviewing and the rest just participating in the festivities. Of the many quotes we hear from those around us the most often spoken was that this is the best tiki bar in Eau Claire and that the tropical island feeling is definitely present. Some even say that it doesn't feel like you're in Eau Claire anymore when you're on that patio.



We spent the majority of the evening out in the tiki bar. It wasn't until our midnight readings that we finally left and moved into the main bar. We took some polls from the crowd and according to our panel of judges as well as the crowd the Attractiveness Rating had dipped to a 6/10. However there is a silver lining on every cloud because our head count produced the following numbers: Sausage Factor = 1.10 with 76 guys and 69 girls.



Some of the music is popular older songs, but for the most part it is primarily top 40 dance and rap music.


While we were in the dance floor area we were also able to meet up with a couple of the Carp Calendar Cuties for 2008. Lindsay and Sadie, Miss October and November respectively, were out for some wining and dining this evening. Apparently Whiskey Dicks is on their list of places to dance and have a good time. You'll find Sadie on the left and Lindsay on the right:


And here's Sadie again with Whiskey Dicks owner Brad:


Soon we began to long for a release from the loud music and dancing in the main bar, and so we moved out to the front bar and grabbed a couple tables. This is when the Paulsrud and Severson Massage Parlor opened up. The services are highly recommended, though the waiting list is always long!


The layout is the best part of Whiskey Dicks and we went into much detail with our first review. There are not a lot of places where you can find three entirely different experiences within the same establishment. If you're up for loud music and dancing it's there. And if you want to totally forget about the loud club scene you can by moving to the patio or the entrance area. This is be biggest plus for any group heading out to Whiskey Dicks. It was also good for us when we reached the end of the evening.


Close to 2am we took the final readings and found a Sausage Factor of 1.07... this is very consistent with Whiskey Dicks. 74 guys and 69 girls present, these are the types of numbers that guys like to see. However, we did find that the Attractiveness Rating had dropped to a poor poor 3/10... Everything had been looking so good at the start of the night too! Our panel of judges for the evening included the six girls in our party so this rating wasn't biased.


Tonight we found Whiskey Dicks to be another one of our good experiences. We had a great time right up until the Attractiveness Factor dipped to a 3/10. The Sausage Factor was great for the entire evening. It took a lot of thinking to come up with the final beer rating for the entire experience. For those present with us this evening there were many mixed ratings, but overall we had a great time. It was obvious that we wanted to leave the dance floor at the end of the night and the beauty of Whiskey Dicks is that we were able to by just traveling a few feet to the front bar. I think that we're going to have to rate it another 5/5 night. We will have to keep tabs on them to see if their late night starts looking better tho!

Beer Rating: 5/5
Sausage Factor: 1.14
Attractiveness Rating: 6/10
