Last Friday was warm. My drinking buddy and I wanted to sit outside and drink. Where could we go?
We started at the Five O’Clock Club. Since our initial visit this winter, they built a patio on the side. It has high stone walls with a couple of iron gates. They did not have table service outside, so we bought our drinks at the bar, and headed out to sit in solitude for most of our drink. It was nice and enjoyable, but at one point, someone turned on the music which made it a little harder to talk. As we got ready to leave, a larger group 6 or 7, took over several tables in the corner. It remains a small, cozy bar with average Long Island Iced Teas.
Our second stop was around the corner at Whiskey Dick’s. We also sat outside at the Tiki Bar. The bar is bamboo, and only parts of it have plexi-glass to make a smooth, wobble-free surface. It was still early, and there was a small crowd inside and out. (We clearly missed the fights featured on the other Eau Claire bar blog.)

The Five oclock Also offers Karaoke 6 nights a week, friday through wednesday, and has people from mid twenties on up as the age group, with most being between 30′;s and 40’s.
Whiskey dicks on the other hand is more of the younger crowd with a dance floor on the weekends. the only problem that I had with Whiskey Dicks was that the drinks were way over priced 4 and a half dollars for a captian and coke compared to the 4 dollars for a double captain and coke at Double Days.
