Trapping Your Tastebuds

Those looking for a quick sandwich in downtown Eau Claire need look no further than The Mousetrap Tavern, which is now serving crockpot favorites Wednesday through Friday from 11am until the bar closes. Having served burgers years ago, the local bar has come back in force with hot sandwiches and side soups that are part of a five-sandwich rotation. Citing the need for another quick food option downtown, the bar serves pulled pork, jerk chicken, ginger sesame pulled pork, hot beef, or tacos carnitas hot sandwiches paired with a soup to match, with a new sandwich every weekday. Saturdays will sometimes feature hot dogs. Current ownership sees this as a growth opportunity for the establishment. So whether it’s for lunch or at the end of a night out, sandwiches will be hot and ready at 311 S. Barstow St.
