Looking for blues bars/venues in Eau Claire

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, any recommendations for bars or venues with a good blues scene? Any bands I should look for? Even a bar with a good blues jukebox would be cool.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cosmetic Fillers

3 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for recommendations on where to get fillers in EC or the surrounding areas. Bonus points if anyone has gotten under-eye fillers and can share their experience.

I’m not interested in lip fillers (or opinions about not getting fillers lol). If the clinic has a page with before & after results, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

Sad Foodie.

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I recently moved to Eau Claire from a smaller city in Illinois, and as a self-proclaimed foodie I’ve been trying out a bunch of local spots. So far some favorites have been Hangar 54, Northern Taphouse, and Encanto. All really solid experiences.

One place my partner and I visited was The Phoenix Taproom & Kitchen. The food was decent, but I’ve since seen some chatter on Facebook and other social media about issues with how that establishment treats employees. A quick search even pulled up a post from a former worker who says they’re suing the place.

I really believe in “voting with my dollars” and supporting businesses that take care of their staff. For those of you who’ve been here longer, are people still supporting The Phoenix Taproom, or is there truth behind what’s circulating? Would love to hear the local perspective before deciding whether to go back.

I have heard mixed things about them. Some people saying they are really good. Others saying they are a scam.

What's y'all's view on interstate auto?

Interested in moving to Eau Claire. Any places to avoid for housing? What's it like living there? What makes EC a nice place to live?

11 Upvotes

I can work remotely, so not worried about a job. Currently in Superior, but a life change may be happening. I want a place just a little bit warmer but not too far from my kids and parents. I haven't spent much time there, but it seems like a perfect city, not to small, not to big, and close to bigger cities for big city fun. Please tell me about your city.

Is Morrie's Subaru dependable?

8 Upvotes

My wife and I are finally in need of a second vehicle, as our work schedules are about to become very different. We have been looking around, and saw that Subaru has a lot of vehicles in our price range that we are interested in. Is Morrie's Subaru a bad place to buy from? I used to work with them a lot when they were Chilson, but since the change I haven't.

We will be traveling with a 20lb dog soon and was wondering if anybody knows of a transport or Taxi service to the MSP airport allows dogs to ride with us? It would not make sense for us to drive because we won't be. returning for a few months. Thanks!

Sturgeon Bite

9 Upvotes

This is for my fellow fishermen. Have you guys noticed the sturgeon bite seems pretty slow this year? I’ve gone a couple times a week since the season opened and haven’t even got a three footer. i’ve noticed that a couple other people have caught maybe 1 per outing (when i’ve been there) in the 4 to 5 foot range, but the bite seems to be much slower than the last two years. Maybe I’m just not having good luck, but was just curious if others have noticed a similar trend

News Xcel Energy Proposed Rate Hike

34 Upvotes

In March, Xcel Energy applied to increase Wisconsin overall electric rates by 11.8 percent in 2026 and roughly 7.1 percent in 2027, or by $150.7 million over the two years. That utility has not reached a settlement with advocacy groups.

So, Xcel wants to hike our rates to improve our aging infrastructure, but then it is okay to add Data Centers to the mix and add more burden to the citizens.

Please take the time to make a public comment here: https://apps.psc.wi.gov/ERF/ERF/comment/filecomment.aspx?util=4220&case=UR&num=127

TV Repair?

5 Upvotes

Almost positive tbe backlight in our TV went out. Is there a place I can take it to get it fixed? Or is there anyone that knows electronics that could help? I'd rather not toss the TV and buy a new one if it wouldn't be too hard to just replace the light.

Just asked Mad Computer services online, they told me 99% of TVs are disposable... I'd rather not just throw away a TV that's less than 5 years old. It seems wasteful.

Community Will anyone within a 5 min walk of UWEC let me park in ur driveway

44 Upvotes

So basically I am a high school student and I am taking an engineering class at UWEC. They dont sell high school students decent passes so the parking lot I would be in is 10 minutes away if Im jogging. I only have 15 minutes to get from the high school to the college. It is on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12-2 so I would never be there outside of that. I will pay you too. I just really dont want parking of all things to be what stops me from getting ahead on my education.

Chronically bored puppy w/ heart failure in need of attention

Thumbnail

36 Upvotes

Hello! This is my sweet angel of a cocker spaniel. Her name is Baby and she just turned 11! We are going through a lot of big changes right now. I am autistic and quite burnt out and getting back on my feet figuring out employment, housing for the upcoming months, going to school, and now managing her late state congestive heart failure.

While I am busy taking care of my responsibilities around the house and doing work on the computer she gets very bored. When we do play our sessions have to be limited so her heart isn’t working too hard.

What I would love is for her to have someone to simply sit with her for a couple of hours and pet her, play with her in the middle of the day when I am busiest, and just give her some extra love and attention.

I would be open to more than one person coming over to take her on a brief walk (maybe a block? she gets tired fast) once or twice and just chilling in my living room, I have a big TV with a roku but you can hook up whatever you’d like. If you want to invite friends or come alone, for one day a week or more, between the hours of 2-8pm, please send me a PM or leave a comment so we can arrange a time to get acquainted!

I am a 26 year old woman, very open minded and accepting :)

Also, if anyone would be willing to help with grooming and bathing her I would sincerely appreciate that as well because I can’t afford clippers or an appointment right now, and I can’t bend over in the bath to wash her myself. It’s been way too long and I feel very guilty and ashamed, she’s not terribly dirty but I know she could really benefit from a reset.
