Hobbsy & Me

Back in September, oh so long ago haha... we took a trip out to the Hallie area to drop by a few of the bars on the outskirts of Eau Claire. The first stop on this trip happened to be "Hobbsy & Me" located at 3620 Locust Lane.

Hobbsy & Me isn't a very large bar, but does have 2 pool tables, 2 video game machines, 2 arcade games, 1 pinball machine, 1 dart board, and a jukebox. There are two TVs for your viewing pleasure which were tuned into the Brewers game this evening. Tap beer is served in refrigerated mugs and are fairly inexpensive, it costs us $3.75 for the two we ordered up upon arrival. Brews are priced right here at Hobbsy & Me so you may want to drop by during their Happy Hour for another $.50 off all drinks from 3-6pm Monday through Friday.


Attendance was somewhat small when we took our 10pm reading with 7 guys and 3 girls. The Attractiveness Rating was an 8/10. Not too bad for being on the outskirts of Eau Claire in addition to it being a Thursday night. While conversing with the bartender and a few of the patrons we learned about a new shot called the "ankle shot". Apparently you can have this shot anywhere, but they prefer you to try one at Hobbsy & Me. All you need to do is drop your shorts to your ankles while taking the shot of your choice. Sounds like a good shot!

The prices are good at Hobbsy & Me and while there weren't too many in attendance, they did look good. The layout is basic and the restrooms are clean and stocked. Definitely a nice stop for some conversation and drinks.

Beer Rating: 4/5
Sausage Factor: 2.33
Attractiveness Rating: 8/10

Site Update

Thanks for all of the input on Eau Claire Bars - the Blog. Today we implemented one of the requested changes to the blog. The sidebar links to each bar will now bring you directly to the latest review of said bar. Instead of searching around for the bar review of a bar that you are interested in heading to, you can now click on the bar's name to be brought right to the review!

Stay tuned for more updates and changes as we review the feedback we have received from those of you out there interested in the Eau Claire night life. If there's something you would like to see us implement here at EauClaireBars.com please feel free to drop an email to us at bars at eauclairenetwork.com and we'll check it out.

Friday Night Fights - Recent Footage

Ok! Finally after much time spent cutting hours of video footage we are ready to start throwing some of the highlights from the Friday Night Fights Under the Lights Semi-Final matches that took place on Friday, September 14. We will also be throwing up footage from last weekend's Grand Championship matches.

Because there is sooo much footage we realized that we wouldn't be able to stream all of the matches in their entirety on the site, but don't worry because we did throw together some fine DVDs of the action. You can pick up these DVDs at Whiskey Dicks for $10/each. There are three separate DVDs for each night of fights. DVD quality video is much better than what is able to be streamed here on the blog, so pick up your copy with your fighter(s) displaying his or her prowess in the ring. Fight footage brought to you courtesy of those of us here at Eau Claire Bars - the Blog.

Let's start by posting this placeholder for these highlights. Stay tuned as they are uploaded to the web and streamed right here at the blog. Check back as the day goes by to see more action. And don't be worried if you can't see the video clips right away! This is our placeholder post for all of these clips.
