While The Yard Bar & Grill (2002 Midway Rd., Menomonie) location is best known as the former Dean & Sue’s, folks are still having plenty of fun and enjoying good grub from the new owner and team. 1917 Lake Wissota (9504 Cty Hwy S., Chippewa Falls) boasts a heck of a view and makes a mean cocktail alongside its robust menu. Whether you’re playing a game of pool or just watching, Eau Claire Billiards Bar & Grill (3020 London Rd., Eau Claire) can satiate your thirst, no problem. —McKenna Scherer
