Unlocking a New Era: The Phoenix Taproom & Kitchen Emerges as Eau Claire's Premier Craft Beverage Haven

Welcome to The Phoenix Taproom & Kitchen (TPTK), Eau Claire's latest sensation set to revolutionize the craft beverage scene in the heart of the Midwest. As we gear up for our grand opening in late June 2024, we're bursting with excitement to introduce you to an unparalleled experience like no other in the region. Since our announcement and feature in VolumeOne, the overwhelming support and enthusiasm from the community have fueled our passion even further. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has cheered us on along this journey.

Origins Rooted in Community 

At TPTK, we're deeply rooted in the fabric of the local community. Founded by Brad and Bre Hansen, two avid beer enthusiasts hailing from the Appleton area, our journey began with a vision to fill a void in Eau Claire's vibrant waterfront scene. Bre's ties to UW-Eau Claire and our shared love for this city made it the perfect canvas for our dream project.

Passion and Purpose 

Driven by our passion for quality, innovation, and community, TPTK is more than just a taproom - it reflects our dedication to providing an exceptional experience for every patron. Our commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of our establishment, from the meticulously crafted beverages to the warm hospitality extended by our expertly trained staff.   

What to Expect at The Phoenix Taproom 

As you step into our almost 4,200-square-foot oasis located in the Graham Riverside building, prepare to be dazzled by an impressive array of 72 taps featuring a diverse selection of craft beers, ciders, seltzers, kombucha, wines, and cocktails. But our offerings extend beyond just beverages; our full-scale kitchen will tantalize your taste buds with elevated tapas unlike anything you've experienced in the Chippewa Valley before.

Our self-pour tap wall powered by the iPourIt system offers a seamless and user-friendly way to explore our extensive beverage menu. Simply scan your driver's license, receive a scannable wristband, and indulge in a personalized tasting journey. With prices as low as $0.20/oz. for domestic beer and $0.35/oz. for craft beer, the possibilities are endless.

But that's not all - our commitment to inclusivity means offering a wide range of non-alcoholic options, outdoor patio games, and a rentable room for group gatherings. Whether you're a seasoned craft beverage connoisseur or a curious newcomer, there's something for everyone at The Phoenix.
