Classic Wisconsin bar. I wouldn't call it a dive bar - it was nicer than that. We had seen the…read morereviews about their sandwiches so when passing through town we stopped for lunch. It wasn't too busy so we grabbed a could seats at the bar. Great tavern atmosphere! The staff was friendly and pointed out their "extensive" menu posted on the wall - maybe six items! I opted for the hot ham and cheese sandwich with onion. I also got a side of their famous hot horseradish mustard. Wow what a kick! The sandwich was juicy and excellent. My wife got their Spanish stew which was just OK. Kind of a weak chili. Skip it. They are also known for their hot roast beef sandwich. Definitely stop by and try the ham sandwich!

Here are two overlapping reasons why a trip to Ray's Place is worth your time…read more 1. Food & Drink: The beers (a very generous selection of which are on tap) and the beef and ham sandwiches are filling and flavorful. With regard to the sandwiches, be sure to request the horseradish-infused mustard (known among my friends as "Wisconsin Napalm). 2. The People: Ray's Place is a "third place" for all kinds of folk. Sit at the bar or take a table at Ray's and you will rub shoulders with rowdy Packer's fans (look for the green Jell-O shots), UW students taking a break from cracking the books, steel-toe boot wearing workers who have just finished theirs shifts, and/or families catching a quick bite before going to or returning from the kid's' games. Go to Ray's and be prepared to meet a microcosm of Eau Claire. See you there.

It starts with the energy you feel and vibes you experience as your first impression upon entering the bar. It was a 10 out of 10 right from the start. Daily specials, pool, darts, music and a floor wide enough for some impromptu dancing. The truly special energy was the extraordinary service from the bartenders. We were in town for two nights and met two wonderful bartenders on consecutive nights. I tip my hat and offer sincere gratitude to Sarah and Amber for the friendly and welcoming service. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute here and hopefully the regular patrons didn't mind our singing, but we just couldn't hold back our joy. Thank you, thank you and we hope to visit again soon.

Granted, I went there on a Saturday night around 9pm. But it was a typical Wisconsin towny bar where EVERYONE was wasted!

They have a signature drink called the Delusion, and each time you order one you get a ticket. Ten tickets earns you the coveted t-shirt.

Between the four of us (plus a little help from a college buddy) we managed to drink our way to a t-shirt last night and now plan to pass it back and forth every time we get together like the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

I'm not a huge fan myself, just because it's too sweet, but it's probably the strength of a Long Island, plus a tiny bit more. A word of caution though...they make all of their drinks STRONG. Very. Strong. Take that how you will. I've had an unfriendly bartender once, and wish they opened a little earlier, but with the (great) toxicity of their drinks, I guess I understand the 7pm opening:
