I can admit that I haven't always been keen on this bar, but today was more than the last straw. Judging by what other patrons have communicated to me the manager, Elizabeth is not the kindest person you might encounter, and today was no exception, which has brought me to write this review. Today I was invited by a friend out for a drink, and not 60 seconds after walking into the bar I was greeted with absolute rudeness, and negativity, and baseless allegations for which she had no right to accuse me of. I have never caused an ounce of trouble at Guu's for any reason so for her to belittle me in front of other patrons was embarrassing to say the least, and personally I think for Guu's to employ such a negative person is a disservice to their own business, not just because they lost my business, but the scene that she created had a couple of my own friends saying that they would not be coming back to Guu's If I had to guess this was also the thought of a few of the 20 or so patrons who did not pay to see her negativity either. I am not sure what might have been on her mind today, but in my opinion I believe Elizabeth has singled me out solely because of the color of my skin. Over the years I have experienced anecdotal evidence from Elizabeth's actions to suggest this. The word racist is not something that I throw around lightly, and sometimes it is hard to identify, but that is the vibe that personally I have got from my dealings with this woman. I will continue to share my negative experience with other people in Stevens Point, because although I might not directly have any issue with any other bartender at Guu's, I believe personally Elizabeth is a reflection on the Guu's establishment itself. No patron deserves to be treated the way that I was, and I don't believe I was the first either. read more

A very pleasant diversion in downtown (I assume that was downtown) Stevens Point. A lovely old wood bar, well-worn, as are the brass rails at the lip and foot. The ceilings are soaring, 15, maybe 20 feet tall of stamped tin. I think the room is actually taller than it is wide. But I didn't measure. An impressive selection of beers on tap including several local "Point" brews. All-in-all this place is a stolid, earthy barman's bar, with your standard pub-grub fare of burgers and such. It's all done in unpretentious fashion, the food cooked well, the pickles crisp, the sandwich served on a tasty roll rather than a bland bun. It's obviously a local favorite, with several families occupying booths at my early dinner hour of 6pm. I've heard the Friday perch fry is not to be missed. Alas, it was Tuesday. The servers are friendly: chatty if you want them to be, utilitarian if not. My dinner gave me a stern talking-to around 3am, but that was simply my fault for ordering the buffalo chicken. It's something I do once or twice a year, in spite of knowing that it's going to haunt me in a matter of hours. C'est la vie. Go Guu's! (What a name, eh?) read more

If you don't like the big crowds at 9-5-6 or Graffitis definitely check this place out. Totally causal atmosphere with cool people. The bar food isn't bad either. I never had bad things to say about the actual bar, but you might get a few weirdos who venture in there late at night on the weekends... but that's not a big deal. They usually have some awesome deals too. My friend and I would come here every Wednesday night for $2.50 captain and cokes. You really can't pass that up! And everyday they have $1.50 PBRs... not the greatest beer but it'll suffice for a lowly college student! I also went here in the afternoon to study. It's quiet enough for me and not distracting because no one else would really be there from school. It was a secret getaway of mine! Free wifi at my own booth. Awesome. Definitely my favorite bar in Point. Check it out if you like the more relaxed bar scene instead of the annoying loud girls and creepy boys in some of the other bars in town. It's also a decent size... unlike Mugshots or Joe's. Friendly staff, fun bar! I'm going to miss not going there all the time! read more

As soon as I ordered the Asian Chicken Salad at Guu's, I knew that I had taken a knife to a gunfight. Although salad was serviceable, this is a place for bar food: burgers, sandwiches and fried food. Good beer selection too. I spent to whole meal admiring the burger across the table instead of enjoying my salad. I'll be back for my burger soon... and to try their friday fish fry. Seek out a table near the window if you can... The atmosphere is dark. read more

Great bar and restaurant with an amazing beer selection. Take a look at the link below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ajXWFe5q30 read more

From out of town and decided to check out the restaurant/bar scene in downtown Stevens Point. Expected more of a dinner crowd since it was a Friday night, but we did arrive around 8 pm, so I think dinner crowd was starting to thin out. We decided to eat at the bar. Our timing was just right. There was a lull in the action between dinner and the later evening bar crowd. By the time we left around 10:30 pm it was definitely getting busy again. Both my wife and I got the fish fry dinner. I got the perch and she ordered the cod. My perch was good and you could tell it was hand-breaded. It was slightly over-fried. My wife's cod was very good. Portion size was large and I ended up eating what she could not finish. Good beer selection, especially from the Stevens Point Brewery. My wife was very happy with the brandy old fashions, but you would expect this in central Wisconsin. They were made from scratch and not already pre-made from a mix. Recommend you try the Apple Pie shot. It was delicious. Bartenders were friendly, but sometimes a little lackadaisical. The atmosphere was fun and probably gets very lively as the night wears on, since this is a college town. I would definitely go back if i was in the area again. read more

So really, I would give Guu's a solid 3 stars, but I'm adding an extra star because they accept gift certificates from Restaurant.com. I recently won one in a raffle at work, and there are all of 2 places in Stevens Point that would accept it. So that's what brought me in. Finding a spot was kind of a hassle. It was packed when we arrived, but several staff members made eye contact with us but no one said anything. Definitely awkward walking around trying to see if tables were open. The one we got was too close to to the door so it was pretty chilly the whole time. If you're looking for good bar food, Guu's has you covered. The nachos left something to be desired, but the spinach dip in a breadbowl was a good start. We had a few different burgers and sandwiches, and I think everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Honestly not sure if I'll be back as bars just aren't my thing, but I'm glad we got to try something new and finally use my gift certificate here. read more

Solid, affordable sandwiches for lunch. Quick service, and the waitress brought individual receipts without being asked! Friendly and efficient. Really enjoyed the pulled pork; buffalo chicken salad was also very nice. read more

Guu's On Main - Much draft beer! - Bars Near Me - Stevens Point, Wisconsin

Delicious fish frys! I have been here multiple times with friends and family. We always love the food and have a great variety of specialty drinks and beers. The rhubarb margarita was a bit disappointing, but I would definitely try their beer flights or the gin specialty drink with door county cherry! Their seating is fun out in the back and the service is quick! read more

Good beer and alcohol list. Fun and relaxing atmosphere, even when it's packed on the weekends. Guu's is probably one of the more multiculteral bars I've seen in Stevens Point. Most of the bar tenders are quick and efficient. Every once in awhile you'll get one gentleman who's a bit rude and lacking in customer service, but certainly nothing to dissuade you. read more

Good fast service, very friendly service. An order to go was great! Ordered a ClUb sandwich with fries and it was fantastic. read more

Guu's On Main - Club sandwich - Bars Near Me - Stevens Point, Wisconsin

Called ahead to see if we could get dinner on a fish fry. I was told as long as we were there by 9pm it would be ok. I called at 8:47 and was there by 8:55pm. Showed up with a small group and was denied service. Not professional. read more

Bit pricey for a central Wisconsin bar! But this place has a fun young atmosphere with a great digital jukebox! Enjoy the awesome weekly specials! read more

See all

Don't order the nachos. They tasted like crap. I think they just put chips in a microwave and put velveeta cheese on the chips and zapped them. Honestly the worst nachos I've ever tasted. We didn't eat 10 percent of them. I probably should have sent them back. This might be a good place for beer, but if you are hungry, go somewhere else. read more

Highly recommend by the hotel clerk, small clubby bar and grill on Main Street in downtown. Street parking is plentiful. Here on Monday night with the Trivia crowd. Had a black and bleu burger - very good, not the best ever, but respectfully good. Gotta live the New Glarus Spotted Cow Beer - sold only in Wisconsin. Fun evening, friendly crowd. read more

Guu's is an excellent college town bar/restaurant. Not tons of food choices, but they do a great job with what they have. Wisconsin Cobb in particular is a fun twist on the classic. Nice decor, friendly staff, gorgeous bar. And, no surprise if I am happy, great beer. They have some local, regional, and national fun taps, including a few hard to find. Enjoy. read more

Had a nice Friday fish fry here on 8/21/2020--staff is very considerate, always masked when coming to the table--food was very good!

A restaurant disguised as a bar. It really has such a nice pub feel to this place, I was surprised to find that they have a menu that includes blackened salmon fillet burgers. The value of the food and drinks here really is reasonable, I've eaten at some pub restaurants like this in Chicago so they get 5 stars for bringing that big city feel to Central Wisconsin. Thank you Guu's. read more

Guu's gets a solid 3 stars. I did enjoy my chicken taco salad for what it is worth. The taco shell was quite tasty, actually, but it had your run-of-the-mill iceberg lettuce and jarred salsa on the side. It could use a punch of creativity and local produce. And, don't give me that "It's Steven's Point," especially with locavore lovely, Father Fat's down the block. The resources are available. They do have Point Root Beer on tap, which is a bonus, but they may want to consider serving it in frosted pint glasses. I think an ice cold root beer cannot be beat, especially when it's brewed in town. Highlight what comes from your neighbors, and you're well on your way to plus 1- and 2-stars, Guu's. read more

This is one of my favorite places to go and just grab a drink and some grub (the lunch/dinner menu are pretty decent - the food doesn't blow me away, but it's still tasty). However, after about 9pm on the weekends the place gets packed. It's such a cool atmosphere with a great tap selection, but due to the narrowness of the building and the location of the bar along one entire side, it is incredibly difficult to get around in here. My advice, grab a pitcher and a table and enjoy. read more

This place has many local beers on tap that will satiate anybody's taste. They have good beer food and the place I used to work out would always have happy hours there. I love their mozzarella sticks because they're cooked in wonton wrappers which adds something special. Grab a burger and expect it to get a little busy after work because it's a great place to unwind. read more

Guu's is a great place for casual dining and a relaxed crowd. Nicely decorated, the bartenders and servers are usually very attentive and the owner is a friendly man. I love the spin dip and chips and the spinach and artichoke turkey sandwich. Also a huge beer selection to chose from. read more

This is an excellent pub. They have very good lunches and dinners. The decor is a mix of Northwoods Wisconsin and Ye Good Ol' Pub back 'ome. If you like beer, Guu's is the place to be. They have about 20 beers on tap. A great local, national, and international selection. The bar is also fully stocked. The people are nice, there's not a bad seat in the house; the only thing it's missing is a slightly out-of-tune piano. read more

A wonderful stop downtown. Guu's is known for its sandwiches and burgers and for a great selection of beers. I have been eating at Guu's off and on since I lived in Stevens Point twelve years ago and this restaurant has never disappointed. The place is always upbeat and the building is well cared for. The dress is casual and it will not break you to have a meal there with the whole family. Guu's is worth the trip! read more

This place had a lot of great beers on tap. My husband and I stopped here for lunch and I ordered the buffalo chicken salad. It was huge! My hubby had the chili which looked great and a side salad which was also rather large. They had centrals waters on tap which was the best part. read more

Great cheese curds, decent food otherwise- nothing to complain about but nothing to rave about. Awesome tap beer selection, great drink specials every night (not that the prices are very expensive in the first place), and super nice servers and bartenders. Now that it's smoke-free and I don't have to shower immediately upon getting home, I couldn't ask for more. read more

Guu's on Main is one of the best places not only for food, but also for drinks. Guus has over 30 different taps on hand at all times. The food is really good. The menu is not too big and not too small. It is just right. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I always look forward to my next visit to Guus. read more

Guus has a really good burger. You can eat there or get it to go, I have done both. The only difference in eating there is you will need to wait on an empty drink or go ask for it to be refilled, for that 4 stars. read more

Most of the food is typical greasy bar food. Nothing that makes it better than other bar food or interesting. I was surprised to see real lettuce and vegetables on the salad. I only come here to see my friends and have cheap old fashioneds. read more

Guu's has a nice atmosphere and great food but if you're looking for a "bar" style hangout walk a block and go downtown. The help at Guu's is ridiculous, constantly casting judgement on your orders or your method of payment. There's No pool table and you have to haggle to even get darts or play some music on the touch tunes jukebox. I feel like this is the early family "I used to go downtown here when I was in college" bar. read more

Guu's is my favorite bar in Stevens Point. I love beer selection and the bartenders are always friendly, one of them actually took the time to remember my name. I love that they let you sample a beer before you order it. The food is pretty decent. I wouldn't write home about, but I usually do go for the food. I go there pretty exclusively for the beer. One thing I would change though is getting different beers from around Wisconsin, a lot of their beers are from Central Wisconsin, which is fine, but Wisconsin has some great breweries and they should take advantage of that. read more

Nice tap beer selection, food is good, and friendly atmosphere. I live in Stevens Point and have been everywhere a thousand times but still enjoy going to Guu's. read more

Great drink specials and the crowd is decent. The bartenders however are a different story. This guy next to me is showing off his $50 bill orders a beer and gets $8 in change. He complained right away and the lady bartender was like "You paid me with a $20 see" as she pulled a 20 from the drawer... At this point I was wondering "if he paid with a 20, then shouldn't his change be 18 and not 8..." so I jump in and tell her I clearly saw a $50 bill. She then proceeded to "find" the bill magically and gave him his $48 dollars. She was clearly trying to take advantage of a drunk guy and make a quick tip and that was just so disrespectful. Definitely not returning to this establishment. read more

This is the best veggie burger I've found in the area (granted, there's not a lot of competition, but still). Really excellent portobello sandwich and very yummy tuna steak sandwich as well. Their crisscut fries are the best! Consistently friendly, efficient waitstaff. This is one of our 'go to' lunch spots. read more

Food is very good and staff is very friendly and accommodating. It is comfortable and spacious. It is a bar, but the seating in back area makes it feel like you are at a restaurant. read more

Guu's has an amazing perch FISH FRY, actually the best in town. The fish is hand breaded, not greasy at all, and the cole slaw is home made. Great service by the wait staff. Nice drinks and atmosphere. Don't miss out on this. read more

Our last experience left us wondering how some people keep a job. It took the bartender 17 minutes to acknowledge us, and then with an indignant attitude. We interrupted her texting and flirting spree. (sorry for that).. Having an order of 2 beers to remember, and having to walk 4 feet to pour them, she messed up the order. (OK, they were 2 different beers so I'll give her that). We did leave a tip, which was a note on the credit card receipt telling her how much the service disappointed, hence you get no tip, sweetheart. Management should have a better handle on the service being put out. There's a huge pool of bartenders with UWSP locally. we've avoided the place since and had frequented often in the past. read more

I'm a frequent flyer at Guu's and it's a solid place for a meal or just drinks. The menu is typical bar food - various sandwiches, burgers, and fried foods. My personal favorites from the menu are the fried green beans and the Cajun burger. They also have a tasty ranch - a very important WI condiment! I think most patrons enjoy the large selection of beers on tap - my recommendation would be the Casper white stout on nitro. The servers are good, I've never had a negative experience with any of them and they work hard - especially Friday nights when it's packed for fish fry. Personally, I think there are better places in town for a fish fry but if you want the typical Friday night fish fry, Guu's can get that for ya. read more

friendly service and easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. comfortable interior and patio seating outside

Best cheese curds ever--thinly battered, not breaded! Awesome burgers-black and blue is my favorite! Beer is cheap and there is a great selection. read more
