Clancy's Stone Lion Pub

Clancy's is nestled in 'downtown' Custer, and it is surrounded on all fronts by other bars.  The other bars have their own character, but what sets Clancy's apart is the food and paying attention to detail when it comes to what bars SHOULD have at their customers' disposal.

The bar itself has been overhauled and re-finished in several parts until you get what you see now.  In short, the place was transformed by its current owners.  So, that is nice in that you can walk into a pub in Custer, WI and feel like you walked off the street in any larger town in America.

The beer selection is stellar for this neck of the woods, and there is a special attention paid to Irish-oriented alcohol because, well, it's an Irish pub.  That, and the owner (Clancy) looks like he crawled out of Braveheart.

The food is standard to better-than-average for the most part, but by and large it is done well by Clancy's wife in the kitchen.  She runs the show for the most part, and though she is alone, she manages to keep up with the appetites of those who come in...for the most part.  The most celebrated food there is probably the Friday Fish Fry (a Wisconsin tradition if you didn't figure that out yet).  I've eaten it a number of times, and the consistency of that particular dish is outstanding!

Whether you're in Stevens Point, a local, or just moving through the area...Clancy's is worth a stop.  It's also the FIRST place you should stop in its neighborhood.  There are other bars, but Clancy's is going to give you a bit more of what most people are looking for.  Then again, the other bars aren't terrible or overly lacking.  They're just more, hmmmm, specific to their particular clientele's needs.
