Best Bar For Outdoor/League Sports (volleyball, softball, etc.)

Wagner’s Lanes and The Complexx (2159 Brackett Ave., Eau Claire) hosts outdoor sports year-round underneath a huge inflatable dome. They have volleyball and bean bag leagues to join and indoor bowling (an under-appreciated sport, might I add). Loopy’s Saloon & Grill (10691 County Hwy. X, Chippewa Falls) has volleyball, darts, and pool. But, their tiki bar is what really makes people keep coming back. The Depot (222 E. Madison St., Eau Claire), an extension of the Wigwam, has a volleyball sand court of its own, open seasonally in summer. –Kelly Carlson
