I love this bar.
What I really like about Mogie's is that fries aren't included in meals. This is really good because I don't always want them.
So therefore the prices are more than reasonable, it has a simple menu, and pretty good tap beer too.
I ordered the Po' Boy Shrimp wrap, which consisted of fried shrimp, lettuce, tomato, Cajun spice, and some sort of sauce wrapped in a wheat wrap. It also included a pickle. The sandwich was delicious. I am a huge fan of shrimp, so I was pretty excited to see a Water Street bar carry it on their menu.
I had my sandwich with a bottled Carona.
With two beers, one on tap, and a sandwich the total was about $13.00.
I'll definitely be back.
$5.00 pitchers of premium?! Â Can't beat it. Best burgers in town too. Â
If you want to get away from the "downtown" scene, Mogie's is the place to go. Very relaxed environment, can actually talk to the person next to you without straining your vocal chords, and the bartenders are usually very nice and talkative. There's also a gentleman who walks around and socializes with the patrons; super nice-- may be the manager or owner? Â Regardless, he makes you feel like you're one of the regulars.
Mogie's is one of my favorite places in Eau Claire. I have been here with friends and family, sometimes for a meal, and other times just to drink. The burgers are amazing, and their beer selection is very good. Every time I have been here, servers have been relaxed and very nice, and genuinely seem to enjoy being at work. My only complaint (and it really isn't one) is that the serving sizes are rather large. I usually end up splitting a burger with someone... I'm not a fan of the Spuds, but I think that's just me, since everyone else seems to enjoy them. Can't go wrong, if you're touring the school, out with friends, ect, you will enjoy it.
Review Source:Out of five places tested, Mogie's had the best cheese curds in town. A lot of my old favs are no longer around (e.g., Sweetwaters, Camaraderie) so we had to find a new source. Kitchen looked clean and the food was enjoyable. $2-$3 beer available every day. Just remember, this is not a 'fine' restaurant but a friendly corner bar ;-).
Review Source:3.5 Stars.
This is the first time I ate a meal in Eau Claire since I graduated in 1997 a year after this place opened. Â First of all EC is still dirt cheap. Â 1/2 lb burger, onion rings, and 2 beers for $15! Â
Burger was good cooked medium as requested and onion rings were spot on. Â Lots of burger varieties and I saw a lot of orders of cheese curds going out to the many busy tables. Â My bar when at UWEC was the Camaraderie (burned down) but this place has potential.
Only downside was for having 15 taps they did not have a single IPA which was a bit surprising. Â Overall good selection of craft beer and some craft spirits as well just keep an IPA on tap!
I popped into Mogies for dinner after hearing about it from a friend who attended UWEC a few years back.
I ordered up their well known Garcia burger which is a 1/2 lb cajun-seasoned patty with guacamole, salsa and sour cream and their pub fries. The burger was seasoned very well in the Cajun spice, the bark of the meat was very charred and spicy, a real treat! The salsa was equally delicious. 7.5/10
The pub fries were just your standard bar fry, nothing to write home about. 5/10
We also tried the spuds o' plenty. These little guys are large tater tots filled with cheese served with a side of ranch. Pretty good, a little something different you won't find elsewhere. 6.5/10
The vibe in Mogies is a good one. A very nice relaxed atmosphere. A great place for a burger, glass of wine or a tasty micro-brew on tap on a sunny afternoon or into the evening during the big game. I'd certainly recommend it to a friend if he or she were in Eau Claire.
Great bar on Water Street if you want a place to sit, want your drinks made with brand name liquor (although slightly more expensive), and you don't want to yell to talk to the person next to you. Good music but not blaringly loud. Great drinks made well!
As for food, only had the cheese curds which were good, especially for a snack whiling drinking.
On the plus side, Mogies has delicious burgers, with lots of tasty options for fixins. I like the Jamaican and the Garcia, personally. The burgers are gourmet but reasonably priced. If you fancy a burger, you won't be disappointed.
On the other hand, Mogies isn't really a great pub or a great restaurant. As a pub, it's a little sterile and doesn't have much character. And it's on a street with far better (and far worse, of course). As a restaurant, if you don't fancy a burger then the menu is sorely lacking in other options (and is especially limited for vegetarians), their wraps are uninspired and the non-burger sandwiches taste like their made by someone who thinks that if you wanted flavor, you would have ordered a burger. Plus you're eating in a booth in a bar.
The staff here is really great and friendly, unlike the Irish bar down the street. The home made Bloody Mary with Absolute peppar is fantastic!
We also had a Ceasar's BLT Wrap and Jacks Chicken Sandwich. Â No need for fries, as the wrap/sandwich was huge. Â I would go here again. Â PS, the bloody mary w/ Absolute was $3.50! Totally worth the drive from St. Paul at least on a monthly basis.
