Best meal out I've ever had in Eau Claire. They have it all- kid friendly atmosphere but in a super…read morecute instagramable old brick building with a bar. Foods kids will eat but with more refined options for adults- like the brussels and cauliflower which were crazy good. Tender florets with crispy exterior and well seasoned. The burgers were super tasty and honestly ate more like a sandwich (in the best way) because of the seasoning and other components. Adults had the mushroom- swiss and the OB. The kids cheeseburger was large and came with a generous serving of fries. 5yo also loved the cheese curds. They were a slightly distinctive style with cornmeal in the breading so very crunchy even after cooling off. Waitress was friendly and accommodating and food came promptly. We will 100% be back on our next trip to Eau Claire in the Spring. I would eat the cauliflower weekly if we lived close by. I also loved that they had dye free sodas and rootbeer.

First time here. Came with a small group after hearing they had excellent burgers, so we stopped in…read moreto check it out. It's a vintage-looking building with a fenced outdoor area filled with tables and metal chairs. Umbrellas provide shade if needed. Inside, there's a bar with seating and several tables of different sizes. The space has a vintage vibe with bare brick walls, a metal ceiling, wood floors, and even a six-foot-high metal vault door. We were greeted right away by our cheerful server, who explained the menu and took our drink order. I went with the mocktail, St. Peri Spritz (there's also a version with alcohol). While waiting for the rest of our group to arrive, we played some of the games available. There were several other groups there, some with kids, and the noise level was just right for conversation. When everyone arrived, we placed our full order: cheese curds for an appetizer, then a variety of burgers with sides including fries, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. The cheese curds came out first -- a generous portion and served hot. The breading had (what I think) chili flakes mixed in, giving it a little spice without being overpowering. Very good. The accompanying Spicy Valley Sauce was a nice addition and, again, not too hot. The burgers followed shortly after, and they were all excellent. I had the Wisco Whiz with cheddar, whiz, bacon, dijonnaise, caramelized onion, pickles, and a pretzel bun. It was almost perfect. The only disappointment was the bacon, which was tough and detracted from an otherwise amazing burger, so I set it aside. All the sides we ordered were also very good -- my Brussels sprouts were outstanding. Overall, a fantastic first visit. Excellent burgers, friendly service (thanks, Aubrey), and a casual atmosphere. Would love to come back again (hold the bacon).

I can't recommend the "Mel Burger" high enough. Great fries, reasonable prices and a great spot for lunch or dinner. If you wanted to be critical of this bar it would be in the area of TVs and air temperature. It's always cold to me - no matter where I sit it's cold - even the bathrooms. They don't have tons of TVs but you don't go there to watch TV - can't recommend this place high enough just wear a sweatshirt or extra heavy sweater!

Found a spot at the bar and, after watching the classic Leinenkugel "starry night" sign put on its show and chatting wi the convivial barkeep about "Wisconsin winter weather", had the fish with two sides (salad and fries) and a Spotted Cow on tap. The food set the "pub grub" to a higher level. The panko-covered-fish and fries and generously-sized salad were great. Since the Amber is within walking distance from my apartment, I think I will be making it my Friday night go-to.

Just a few things to mention. Service was very good. We were sat right away. We ordered pickle…read morefries which came out quick and were very tasty. One minor complaint for me was the amount of breading with a thin sliced pickle in the middle. For my meal I ordered the maple bourbon burger, I will say the burger was very salty. I couldn't finish it all, so I ended up taking it home. Here's my main complaint. I'm finding out a lot of places are not very handicap accessible including the lack of handicap parking, before we left I needed to use the bathroom. I could barely get into the bathroom with my walker. My daughter had to hold the door as I squeezed myself in. I'm not a big person either. Just a tight squeeze all together. Once I got to the handicap stall, there was no lights towards the back. It was very dark. I also noticed there were no rails to hold onto as I tried to sit down on the very low toilet. I'm recovering from hip surgery and it wasn't easy sitting/getting off the toilet. I also happened to look up to see if there were lights and maybe there were burned out and that's when I noticed a extremely dirty exhaust fan. It looked like it hasn't been cleaned in a while. Not a huge deal, but The District always seemed to me as a big upscale restaurant, I felt a little under dressed. I love the vibe and the music and the customer service was great during my visit.

The sandwhich was hot in temperature, may have burned my tongue but I was super hungry, and it was mildly spicy. I feel like it lacked a bit of flavor or needed a sauce, but not sure quite what. The coleslaw was okay. Service was fantastic. Fun spot. Would 100% return
