I talked to a writer at Volume One yesterday. There should be a short piece about this blog in the mid-December issue of the paper. It all started when I sent an email after this incident. You will note that in the full web version of this site (for all you RSS readers) that I have a link to the “other blog.” They have a rating system, and focus a great deal more on events at specific bars. I think that we are a good compliment to each other, my approach is much more narrative, and focuses almost solely on the venue.

I picked up Volume One for October 4, and there in the nightlife section is a box with an article about another bar blog covering Eau Claire!

I’ll have to write and let them know that I was first!

(I am wondering if it was one of them who let me know about Galloway Grill?)

There are three places on the list of full liquor licenses which only serve beer and wine.

The first I visited was Cicones (or Ciccones). It is an Italian restaurant at the corner of Claremont and Menonminie Streets. It has marginal food, and only beer and wine.

The two  Pizza Huts are also only beer and wine places. I ate in one (standard chain food) but was wise enough to ask before even entering the other!
