Best Bar For Outdoor/League Sports (volleyball, softball, etc.)

In the heart of Chippewa Falls, Loopy’s Saloon & Grill (10691 County Hwy X) continues to evolve its outdoor league sports amenities, sand volleyball courts, bean-bag tosses (let’s not settle the debate between “cornhole" or “bags” here) and more. Wagner’s Lanes and The Complexx (2159 Brackett Ave., Eau Claire) welcomes guests to its sports and entertainment facility with year-round volleyball leagues for competitive and easygoing players alike. Back over in Chippewa Falls, the SandBar & Grill on Lake Wissota (17643 50th Ave.) offers co-ed sporting activities and even head out on the water in kayaks, canoes or paddle boards available to rent. —Evelyn Nelson
