Thirsty Badger Review

Fun place to eat and have some adult beverages while taking in a Brewers game

If you're from the area and looking for a quick meal or drink I would recommend somewhere else. The plus size set of cankles they call a bar tender only gave me attitude the whole time. My burger was less than satisfactory. Even though you see the beer you want on tap, DOESN'T MEAN ITS ON TAP. They're lazy workers and place was dirty. The only bathroom was an outhouse

Heather is right up there for my favorite bartender. Nice clean bar. Free Jukebox on Friday night. Cheap drinks. Good times.

Very nice outdoor bar, friendly staff, good service. Will be returning to check out the live band on Saturday night.

Loved the food!! Felt like the outsiders we were from the moment we walked in.

Bustling business with multiple TV's to watch sports programming. Nice bartender and good, affordable, food!

The remodel that was done opened things up and brightened the inside up a lot. Still have the nice outdoor area with fire pit, tiki bar and extra seating. Has live music once in awhile and games like bean bags.

Hotel clerk sent us there. We thanked him later. Cold beer, good food, reasonable prices.

Good food, good beers, good price. Hot inside though.

Drink all day for free on your birthday? Yes please lol

A bit busy when I first visited, but excellent service and good chicken strips.

I read how great the wings are here and love to enjoy local foods, however if you are expecting breaded wings, you will be in heaven. I enjoy my wings without the breading flavor, hence the four stars. Just a preference. It would have been a three star, but the atmosphere is awesome and plenty of TVs and beer!

My husband and I stopped here for a quick bite to eat when we got into Chippewa Falls after a long drive. The staff was super friendly and incredibly attentive. The food and drinks were fabulous. Thank you for a great experience!

Actually found a bar in Hallie that's not a dive...great place here for a drink!

Great neighborhood sports bar and grill. Good food and selection of beers and mixed drinks. Also has an outdoor Tiki bar with a stage for live music. Very friendly staff.

This place never ceases to amaze me I absolutely love this place is always awesome the chicken wings are the best in eau Claire Chippewa area and the bloodies are to die for and when you ask for them spicy well let's just say you get what you ask for and if they're not spicy enough the bar tender will give you the hot sauce jar to add to your desire hotness. Oh did I mention when it's your birthday you get to drink free rail and tap beers all you can drink. Every time a train passes 1.50 Yukon Jack shots I mean who likes Yukon Jack shots but for a 1.50 can't beat it. Bring old and new customers here you won't regret it .

Overall really good food and would recommend. The chicken strips were SO good and the ranch and the fries were excellent. The burger was pretty average but good. The cheese curds were okay, not terrible but nothing special. We just got take out and it was fast and reasonably priced. No employees were wearing masks and there we no social distancing guidelines in the restaurant so that was disappointing.

Great TV 'S, for sports. Good food. Don't like atmosphere. Poor bartenders. Seems very stuck up atmosphere. Clicky.Don't play their machines, even though you get free drinks. It's not Vegas.......Very hard to win!!!!!!! Great food....Excellent TV 'S. That's it......Poor service.....VERY POOR....GREAT NAME THOUGH.

Awesome atmosphere, great pizza, burgers, wings, and ice cold drinks. Clean and friendly. nice prices, better service. TVs and tunes all around. Tiki bar too if you are in to fresh air. Highly recommend.

Great little place, nice servers, great drinks and food. I wish I would have found this place sooner as I have to fly home tomorrow morning

I love drinking for free if you play the gambling games

The outdoor area is huge, with well spaced out seating, and a nice outdoor bar. And they do wings, burgers, and wraps the right way

Food was good. However it seem to take forever to get it. The atmosphere was great the outside Tiki Bar was a blast. Overall decent visit and would come back. I got the mac and cheese burger, wasn't bad.

Great spot for a beer and some bar food. Cozy little place with cheap drinks and amazing food.

Great atmosphere! The food was awesome and the service was terrific. Would stop there again if we are in the area.

Great tiki lawn, buffalo chicken dip was tasty. Beer was cold!

Nice lil local bar w/ really good food & great service (Heidi was awesome)!

Nice place! Good food! Outdoor area with bar and seating is great!

Good wings, inside is lite small but nice back yard with an outdoor bar and a stage

Great food and drink prices. Love the outside patio with large fire pit. Bean bags live music and met my future wife here and still together. We frequently go here and are never disappointed.

Fabulous food ! Great service bartender was friendly food was out quickly and was very good ! Loved the cheese curds

I love this bar. There are so many ways they entertain patrons this place doesn t get old very fast!

We have been here several times now and have tried many different menu items. The one thing we did not care for was there fish fry, it was pretty greasy

Fun, small sports bar. Burgers are very good. Good luck finishing the nacho platter with less than 3 people.

Always a favorite stop while in the area. The menu is excellent and has something for everyone.

Love this small town bar, very cozy on the inside and spacious grassy area by the tiki bar. The kitchen looked very clean and tidy and the food is amazing!! The new chef is bringing this place to the next level with the weekly specials and perfect drink pairings. As a professional cook myself, I say keep it up!

Very Nice food and Drinks. Good service. Thats the huge badger spl Volcano nachos ....Cant get bigger ...:)

Great place great staff. Highly recommend the food. Hope to be back soon.

Hands down the best wings in the area! The atmosphere is just fantastic! Not to mention cheap beer! I can not stress enough how good the wings are!

The air conditioning was out, but great food, beverages, and band playing. Will go back soon.

Always the best. Great food great atmosphere great outdoor area and the bartenders are the best.

First time going to this joint and I find the regulars certainly get special treatment! An older couple enters and sits down next to me. It doesn't take long before I realize there's history between them and the bartender. After she rings the couple up I hear the man say he has a penny as they must've been a penny short. The bartender says "Don't worry about it" and goes on about her business. I assume she's pulled a penny from the tip jar or some sort of spare change holder. Well, a couple of days later I see the bartender charged a $0.01 charge to my card aside from the tab I accrued.
Now, here's the thing. You ask me for a penny, I'll run out to my car, grab some lose change and make it rain!! That, however, was underhanded. It's the principal of the thing. And I can tell you what that one cent cost them. My business. I'm not one of these people who says I won't give someone my business and go back on my word either. When I'm done with a business or organization, that's it. I'm done. And perhaps you may see things differently but for me even the slightest of deception is too much. Not to mention how senseless it was.

Great bar. Cheap drinks. Great hospitality and great times. Jennifer made us feel like family thanks .
