Ole's Southside Tavern 2435 South Hastings Way, Eau Claire, WI 54701

"Neighborhood bar. Friendly, fair prices, good music"

"This has been a family go to spot for my family for many years. We know all the bartenders and the owner. Over the past couple years the service has gotten pretty bad. You order anything other than a beer and you will get eyes rolled at you. Recently I was in there enjoying my night, and a customer I've known for years (A grown man) completely degraded me in front of everyone, and the bar tender (whom I've known forever) sat there and let it happen. It really put into perspective what kind of place this is! I'm not saying I'm perfect, but no way did I deserve that! Don't get me wrong, there are a couple great bartenders left. But I will NEVER step foot in there again after 20 years."

"I had not been in this place until recently (event though ive been in the area for many years). Its become my favorite spot in town. Joanne is the best. Absolutely love this place."

"The bartender hates the customers if they ask for anything other than rail drinks or beers. But honestly, that is part of the charm. I've been coming here for 20+ years & she's always been there. & her consistency is excellent. The drinks are reasonably priced & tasty. This is definitely a townie bar. If you like that vibe you will 100% enjoy your time here."

"My late husband I would go to Ole's for karaoke on Thursday nights. He never did karaoke till he met me. He became a karaoke junkie after I introduced him to the fun of karaoke. May he rest in peace and fly high with his eagles! You will be miss by many but not forgotten!"
