Description

Originally opened in 1994, Bennett's has evolved from an auto parts store into one of downtown La Crosse's must-visit locations for good food, strong drinks, and stronger friendships.

We have a rich history with a great story to tell. But, it takes some time to tell a great story. So keep checking back as Daron continues to uncover the great history of this legendary downtown establishment.

THIS IS THE BEST BAR IN LA CROSSE! I’m serious, yall. Aside from the great pricing and food options, the bartenders are the best! I left my purse at the bar 10 months ago and they held it for me… with everything intact! Im still in shock. Can’t trust anyone to do that where I’m from (Atlanta 😅). I love the Midwest! Seriously, the best people and the best bar. Shoutout to Jake!! You’re the man! See you all soon!!! Cheers!!

We didn't eat while here but we had a blast watching the woman's NCAA championship game here. Great attentive bartenders who were knowledgeable enough to make great drink suggestions.

We like the place, food is good, but we have had very poor customer service last few times. The owner needs to understand how poorly customers are treated? No corned beef 3/17 by 530 pm? We left tonight because no service, and watched at least 10 people walk out AFTER being seated! Yikes!!! All within 10 minutes! If I owned, I would want to know how BAD the service is ! What a shame, we are soo close, but will not go back or refer anyone there?! Why is there no active manager on site? Seating and directing staff members what to do? Unbelievable?

My wife and I have never been here before and we wanted to try it. Service was great. Place was busy and their bartender/server Christine rocked the service. The food was far better than we expected. I found out from Christine that the bruschetta egg rolls were coming off the specials. I would literally come back to this restaurant just to eat those. So please keep them on the menu. We also had a burger and a wrap. All the food was amazing. We will definitely come back.

(South location) So, so, so good! Outperformed our expectations for sure! Service was outstanding, the food was perfect, drink was stiff, bathrooms were clean, all around 10 out of 10 experience!

Ordered takeout this past Saturday at South location so hard to rate the place on other things. First time eating from here.

This was $20. They forgot the beer cheese sauce on the side so maybe that’s why it looks so skimpy. My wife got their deluxe burger and the amount of fries included was disappointing.

Went to the DT bat. Pretty good wings! Bloody was good but poor on condiments. If wanting simple bar food ..good place but wanting a little more to your dish head to the new one.

My first time dining experience was very enjoyable on a busy Saturday night. Great atmosphere with industrial/modern decor and friendly, helpful employees. The Bennett Special hamburger was perfectly cooked/seasoned and served on a delicious bun with fresh vegetables and their special sauce; this is the best burger I've eaten in a long time!! I am highly recommending the crispy seasoned tator tots as the side. I look forward to sitting on the patio when it opens while trying the pizza when the full menu starts.

One of the best run traditional taverns in the national historic district of La Crosse whose owner is stepping up and providing much needed & effective leadership in our industry during one of the more difficult periods in the storied history of our iconic downtown that is one of the most competitive destination bar markets in the entire USA.

Nice Irish pub. Good food, great bartenders, friendly personable and engaging. Can order food or bring it in. Just a good Irish Pub. Worth stopping in and hanging out at. A fun place to visit and patronize. One of the better bars in LaCrosse especially downtown. A nice atmosphere and a fun place. Cool atmosphere as well. A place for real people not the self absorbed type here. A nice gem in LaCrosse.

O'Riley's is still finding itself, but if you're looking for a more low-key bar in downtown La Crosse, this is a good spot.
