Helix Wine, Craft Bar & Cafe
1444 Front Porch Pl, Eau Claire, WI
Crema's Take
“Helix is a rare gem that stays open when the Wisconsin winter hits hardest, serving craft cocktails and wine pairings with genuine expertise and warmth that makes you want to linger for hours. Their bartenders craft inventive drinks like their signature Chapman with house-made cucumber syrup, and they've thoughtfully built out an impressive non-alcoholic menu so everyone at the table feels celebrated. This is the kind of place where the staff actually listens, the ambiance invites you to settle in, and you'll find yourself recommending it to everyone you know.”

Absolutely PERFECT evening! Went here last night (Friday) for drinks and dinner. Service was amazing with friendly waiter that actually engaged with customer & listened. Amazing selection of bourbon. I had a flight (which I've never seen offered anywhere else) and then a glass after that. Great to be able to sample the different bourbons in small quantity side-by-side. Wife had a couple mixed drinks that were spot-on. Dinner was some of the fig dip then meatball sandwich and a reuben. Outstanding. Thank you for a great night. We'll be back.
Imagine a restaurant open when it’s 24 below zero. That’s dedication to gastronomy. Not only are they open but they serve absolutely delicious food, the drink concoctions are supercalafragolistic and the service is outstanding. All of this in a beautiful building full of glass and light. Finally, the owners make all of the above happen because they are dedicated entrepreneurs who run a great business! Need I say more? Go!
The staff at Helix is warm and welcoming. The knowledge of wine and pairing is exceptional. This is a must visit for any occasion!
I’m in town for a conference and absolutely fell in love with this place. My bartender was brilliant, and their NA drink list is incredible. The Chapman was so refreshing, and that cucumber syrup… just lovely. The Wagyu roast beef sandwich was on point. The chef really let the meat speak for itself, not drowned in sauce, just perfectly balanced and full of flavor. Worth every penny!
Absolutely loved this place. Their drinks were amazing, and the service was outstanding. The ambiance was relaxing, and now my top 5 favorite worldwide I loved hanging out and trying their amazing dishes such as their cowboy caviar and fresh made cookies! It was cozy, and the patio was inviting!! You should visit this place soon! Oh!! And their patio is dog friendly!
