Best Bar For Eatin'

Given the pervasiveness of Wisconsin’s bar culture, in future years we expect to establish categories like “Best Bar for Yoga” and “Best Bar for Young Children.” For now, though, we’re still focused on drinking, and in this case, eating. The District Pub & Grill in Eau Claire (101 Graham Ave.) recently reopened after recovering from a burst pipe, and their menu is as delectable as ever. Court’N House Bar & Grill in Eau Claire (113 W. Grand Ave.) is famous for mouthwatering burgers, and the SandBar & Grill just south of Lake Wissota (17643 50th Ave., Chippewa Falls) also does a notably tasty job with its bar menu. —Eric Rasmussen
