I wish I could give The Joynt ten stars. The place hasn't changed a bit in the almost 20 years that I have been coming. Best damn bloody mary's on the planet. I spent almost as much time cuddled up to the orange formica bar as I did in class at UWEC... 15+ years after graduating from the collage, I still wonder if I got a better education at the Joynt.
Review Source:A fantastic bar!
The drinks are ridiculously cheap, the bartenders are good for a funny story, the jukebox is incredible, and the vibe is chill (but sometimes pretentious). Every time I visit Eau Claire, I make sure to visit this favorite, buy a pitcher of Berghoff and put some Billie Holiday on.
If you get the chance, definitely give it a visit! Make sure to grab one of the front tables if they're available!
We were in town for a wedding and stopped by The Joynt on a recommendation from a Theater alumn of UWEC. What a find! If it hadn't been homecoming weekend, I think we could have stayed all night. The prices are incredible, the bartender set three beers in front of us and said, "$3.25." As in, total. Apparently at Happy Hour beers are 50 cents. The staff was great, friendly without being pushy. The beers were good, no light beer or plastic cups in sight. If I were ever going to be back in Eau Claire, I would certainly plan on having an evening here!
Review Source:Best bar in America! Â
A place where old farts like me and college kids can have a great time. Â Why? Â Because of the ambience, cheap prices, great jukebox and above all, the terrific people that work there.
We discovered The Joynt 13 or 14 years ago on a trip up to the Northwoods. Â Our group of 10 fell in love with the place in the first 15 minutes. Â Back then, Jack was our regular bartender. Â Even though we would visit only once a year, he would always remember "that crazy group from Chicago". Â You couldn't put together a better group of people to run a bar. Â Bill and his wife have done a great job of keeping The Joynt tradition and vibe alive. Â We need more joints in the world like The Joynt. Â
We miss our friends Jack and Wacky, the trusty mascot. Â I think they are both smiling down on The Joynt.
To quote Beck: Hell Yes! I love this place. Came here for the first time the other day whilst visiting a friend who goes to school in Eau Claire and had a blast. They have a good selection of beers, although I only drank Berghoff. And the prices? Let's just say I can get a pitcher here for what I pay for a beer in San Diego. Their jukebox is a little treasure trove of fantastic tunes and was much appreciated after spending a nauseating period in the Pickle. Â Highly recommend you check this place out if you're in Eau Claire.
Review Source:I lived in Eau Claire for six years in my early twenties. Let's just say that this was a place I definitely frequented. Very laid back spot that serves very cheap drinks and lots of really good music.
So many fabulous memories from the Joynt. This is a place I'll stop every time I go through Eau Claire!
Remember: No Light Beer, don't even ask:)
The Joynt is officially my favorite bar in the entire world. I have now moved from Eau Claire, but I will always be a regular patron in my heart. There's no bar that makes me feel more at home than The Joynt.
From their peanut-covered floor, $1.50 gin & tonics, $5 pitchers of Point and their montage of old beer cans and Jazz photos--you can't find a better place! Their jukebox is filled with GOOD music, that keeps the atmosphere at a constant random spiral of moods throughout the evening. (well, that could be the alcohol talking too)
I admit, it can be a bit intimidating coming there for the first few times. You can feel overwhelmed by the familiarity that the crowd has with each other and the bartenders have with their regulars, but if you keep coming back you will find your niche and feel better and better each time!
I will forever miss the cheap prices of their drinks, as I am now in California where it is expensive and I have yet to find a replacement where I am comfortable enough. A place that lets me sit in the barber chair and check ID's even if I don't work there. A place where the tenders know my name and drink (perhaps I drank there to much).
Anyway, I salute you Joynt!
The Joynt was like my second childhood home; my Dad has known the owner of the place since he moved to Eau Claire in the 60s. Â The walls of the Joynt are lined with photos of Jazz, blues and Classic Rock greats of my parents time. Â If you squint your inebriated eyes and look a bit closer you will notice that many of those photos are autographed; these people all once performed at the Joynt. Â It used to be a major stop for tours going between Chicago and Minneapolis.
Music has changed, so its less of a mainstay at the Joynt, Wacky died a while after Jack, but little else has changed at the Joynt. Â For me, it is a place where "everybody knows your name" at least by day, by night its a UWEC coed drunk fest. Â Cheap beer (No light beer) abound; day and night this place is a surefire adventure even amidst the monotony of Eau Claire.
When I lived in Eau Claire and would travel, I'd seek out places like this. Â Now that I don't live in Eau Claire, I am still seeking a replacement.
CHEAP!
Great patrons of all ages, the bartenders are amazing, I've had incredible conversations with people from all walks of life over the years. Â Did I mention the drinks are cheap? Â Happy hour cannot be beat.
