About The Plus
The Plus is a versatile restaurant, bar, and live entertainment venue located in the heart of downtown Eau Claire. With a 300-person capacity and general admission seating on a first-come, first-serve basis, it’s a great spot to catch intimate performances while enjoying made-from-scratch cuisine and a crafted drink menu. This page covers what to know before you go, including seating, parking, transit options, and nearby hotel and dining picks to help you plan a smooth visit.
Located at 208 S Barstow St, The Plus sits near downtown landmarks and historic streets, making it convenient for guests staying in nearby hotels or exploring the city by foot or transit. Whether you’re here for a featured artist like Ahmed Khalaf Live or a comedy night such as 10K Laughs with Greg Coleman, you’ll find a welcoming, no-fuss experience designed to keep things simple and enjoyable.
Pro-tip: secure your seats early since seating is general admission and first-come, first-serve. For a smooth arrival, consider using the Passport Parking app at on-site lots and nearby ramps on Farwell/Gibson or North Barstow. Eau Claire Transit serves the downtown area, and the new downtown transfer center (opened in 2025) makes getting around easier than ever. If you’re staying overnight, you’ll find a range of accommodations nearby—from boutique stays to classic hotels—perfect for a night of music and bites. We’ve included partner hotel and restaurant recommendations to simplify planning and help you maximize your time at The Plus.
