Bar-Heavy Late-Night Routes

• Downtown Barstow “Show & Stroll” (Eau Claire): Start near The Plus for food + first round → catch the show → walk the strip for your post-set victory lap. Best nights: Sat + Sun.
• Galloway “Low-Light Hang” (Eau Claire): Roll into the Water Street/Galloway pocket for cocktails and a slower burn before you jump back downtown for the late stuff. Best nights: Fri/Sat.
• After-hours rule: keep your tab tight, keep your ride planned, and don’t count on “we’ll figure it out later.”

Rock Lifestyle Things To Do

• The Plus (Eau Claire): Standing move—grab dinner/drinks early, then lock into whatever’s on stage. Best time: pre-show.
• Leona’s Pizzeria / Live at Leona’s (Eau Claire): Pizza + a packed room when live shows are on. Best time: late night.
• Downtown Eau Claire bar hop: Make it a ritual—pick a “home base” bar, then rotate 2–3 spots so your night feels like a setlist, not a wandering playlist. Best time: Fri/Sat.
• Pool/darts night: If you’re not at a show, you’re earning bragging rights—find a table, put cash on it, and settle it. Best time: weeknights.
• Whiskey + dark beer crawl: Slow-drink night for grownups—start early, pace it, end with food. Best time: weekend evenings.
• Late-night food run: Plan it before the first drink—post-show hunger is undefeated. Best time: after the encore.

Where To Go By Night (WED–TUE)

• Wed, Apr 1: Keep it simple—downtown drinks, scout the weekend, early night so you can go hard Saturday.
• Thu, Apr 2: Bar night. Tight loop, no long drives, and keep your weekend energy intact.
• Fri, Apr 3: Warm-up night—cocktails first, then chase a jukebox and call it when it’s still fun.
• Sat, Apr 4: Main-event Saturday: Higher Ground’s Still Standing (Live Pro Wrestling) at The Plus (6:00–10:00 PM) → Rosenau & Sanborn w/ Joe Westerlund at Leona’s (8:30 PM). Pick your lane and commit.
• Sun, Apr 5: Big closer: POLIÇA at The Plus (7:00 PM). Make it a downtown nightcap situation after.
• Mon, Apr 6: Not in this 7-day window—reset and hydrate.
• Tue, Apr 7: Not in this 7-day window—start plotting next weekend.

Lineups change—double-check venue pages day-of.
