NEW LIVE VENUE. Bottle & Barrel Bar (209 Graham Ave.) is now featuring live music and comedy on Friday nights.

Downtown Eau Claire’s Bottle & Barrel Bar (209 Graham Ave.) is now featuring live music and comedy on Friday nights. This new business endeavor began early September, right around the completion of its renovation and part of the business plan to unite with Pizza Plus, the downtown eatery whose rear end matches the Bottle & Barrel’s.

Since starting the music, the bar has no specific music style they are aiming for; rather, they aim to host several types of music to gather a sense of what customers prefer. And as a special bonus, Pizza Plus will continue selling pizzas until 1 am!

Upcoming Bottle & Barrel shows include the I Said It comedy show, featuring Jarrett Waite, Mr. Head, and Rio Hillman on Oct. 10 at 10pm, and rockers Smokin’ Pony Oct. 16 also at 10pm. So far, all performances have no cover charge.
