During the summer they roll up the doors and the front and it's like sitting outside. Mixed crowd, usually young professionals, hipsters, and old farts. No drunk college kids. They run a great trivia night on Tuesdays, and have beer-related events pretty frequently. When you order, be sure to check the details on the big blackboard behind the bar. Some of the beers they're carrying come in small snifter glasses because they're really potent. If you're used to drinking Bud, be sure to ask questions about what you're ordering. The bar staff are knowledgeable, and will usually let you try a sample or two. It gets pretty loud when it's crowded, but that's mostly crowd noise. They keep the music at a reasonable level. You can get frozen pizzas, but they don't offer any other food. The pizzas are actually pretty good for being frozen, but don't expect to get a meal here.

We chose to start at the Red Room and have never left. It's everything you'd be looking for in a homey tavern/bar. Friendly bar-tenders, well-mixed drinks, and great food. What more can you ask for in an adult establishment. If I could, you would see my bed at the back of this place. Not sure why they are listed as three $. The prices are very reasonable, and during happy hour the prices are ridiculously low. On second thought, maybe I want to keep the place to myself...so the service is horrible, drinks are watered down, and the food is barely edible. Go find somewhere else to go on Friday nights... :-)

The walls are full of pictures of the jazz and blues musicians who performed there from 1972 to 1989. There are also 7 Crumb posters. And a huge old can collection above the mirror. It's a dog friendly bar so be warned of that. There is a juke box (not a TouchTunes or AMI, but an actual old school juke box). Drinks are super cheap. We're talking under $2.00 for a 10oz pour. There are several taps available and bottles. As it's a townie dive bar, they don't do fancy drinks or shots (a group asked for Lemon Drops and the bartender said "We don't do that" which makes total sense given the ambiance. Bartenders are nice. I'm still wondering if Lilly was able to get her lava lamp up and running.

All of the gals were on point, fierce and majorly talented. (Seriously, teach me your make-up skills!) The bartenders are always super kind, and during karaoke nights, I enjoy seeing the bartenders take part in singing along with the other patrons. I've never had a bad night here, there seldom seems to be any sort of arguments or unhappiness, everyone is just out to have a good time. The smoking area in the back is nice and open and the interior of the bar has a lot of room. Scooter's is a fantastic place and I hope they stay open for a long time!

The Bob Jam was tasty with sweetness of the sauce and leaft arugula form the perfect opening for the punch of the gorgonzola. Salt levels were also good. 5/5 The sweet potato tots are always perfect - crispy outside, mushy inside - and that cinnamon sauce makes a knockout combo. 5/5 I'm guessing around 12 taps with a broad selection and not just the regulars. An 18% "living wage fee" is added to the bill. Burger, tots, and beer totalled $27.

I love visiting breweries and trying out local offerings. Lazy Monk was on my list of places to visit based on just the name alone, but their current beer list was looking pretty good, too. Tim and I (Matt was coming up the next day) dropped in around early dinner time and it was fairly quiet in the brewery. There were a few people chatting with the bartender when we went up to order some drinks. First and foremost, I grabbed a sticker and magnet before I would inevitably forget. I grabbed a flight of beers since a lot of them sounded really good. Unfortunately, the one beer I was really hyped to try was out until the next day. That was the kolsch. I ended up getting the Bohemian Pilsner Lager, Raspberry Lemon Shandy, Kristall Weiss, Mad Monk IPA, and Bohemian Dark Lager. The Mad Monk was really good. It was my favorite. The Kristall and Bohemian Pilsner Lager were really good, too. The Raspberry Lemon was good but not really my cup of beer. I got it to sample since I was taking home a 4-pack for Emily. As for the Dark Lager... not a fan at all. Not that it was gross but it just isn't for me. The bartender was super cool and took the time to explain all the beers I ordered, made great small talk and really made us feel welcome. Lazy Monk really leans into the German/Bohemian aspect. The exterior of the building has some strong German vibes and once you walk inside, it really feels like you walked into a bar in the middle of a small German town. I believe there is also an outdoor seating area but we only saw it while we were out walking around. If you find yourself in Eau Claire and want a really chill place to grab some beer, Lazy Monk is the place to go.

They have some outdoor games you can do, there are indoor games as well. It's dog friendly. Four packs of cans to go. They will fill a growler for you, but it's not very economical, better just to buy the cans. They have all their own beer on tap now and root beer on tap plus a few cans of soda and bottled water. No food here but you can bring in anything you like and eat it inside. Nice meals, occasionally have some special events and live music, you have to check their social media for those updates. They have a Mug club for regulars. Always great service from personable bartenders. They really know the regulars. Occasionally you'll catch the owner slinging beer too. No TV or jukebox so you can actually have a conversation. The acoustics can make it a little echoey at times however, especially if there's a lot of people inside.
