Step back in time with Amber Inn Bar & Grill, the oldest tavern in Eau Claire, operating uninterrupted since 1881. Originally built by Walter Brewing Company for beer distribution, this historic spot maintained its tavern status through Prohibition and beyond, embodying resilience and community spirit. For nearly 150 years, we’ve been a hub for locals and visitors seeking hearty Wisconsin fare and friendly camaraderie.
Our family has owned and operated the tavern since 1981, preserving its legacy with a modern touch. The building itself tells stories of loggers, factory workers, and hearty community members. Inside, historic charm meets casual comfort—wood-paneled walls, vintage beer memorabilia, and a sense of belonging. We pride ourselves on using locally sourced ingredients, crafting each burger and plate with care.
Over the generations, our commitment has remained steadfast: serve excellent food, pour great beers, and foster a welcoming space where everyone feels at home.
Our dedication to tradition is matched by our community involvement. Known for top-notch burgers like the Hawaiian and jalapeño, plus German beers on tap, we celebrate Wisconsin’s brewing heritage. Our menu offers appetizers, sandwiches, wraps, and signature salads, ensuring every plate delights.
We’ve adapted to modern dining while holding onto our roots, maintaining a safe, accessible environment with wheelchair-friendly entrances and casual seating. Whether you're craving a beer after work, catching a game, or celebrating a family event, Amber Inn feels like your second home—a place where history and good cheer collide seamlessly.
