No big loss! The food was horrible, overpriced, and its "midwest chinsese'
From what I can tell the resturant/bar are being remodled not "cleaned", it's starting to look really good, seems like they are having music more often. Maybe it is too soon to throw in the towel over the economic loss of the resturant. I'd rather drink at a local non-smoking bar and go outside to smoke than go to an altoona bar.
I have been eating there for over 30 years im from eau claire,the food use to be better in the old days but we still made a night of it then we could NOT SMOKE we stoped going to the bar,out side did not cut it,so we went out of town,we only spent a couple hundred,and you do that by a cuople hundred people THAT STOPPED GOING TO EAU CLAIRE,HOW MENNY PLACES HAVE TO CLOSE,for this NO SMOKING we no longer go out down there and we know a lot of other people that go out of eau claire for the night.
by the way one thing on here that tv13 forgot to mention is that we even have a bar/lounge. and that's where the nightclub thing came from. it s an easy transformation for us, because the restauraunt part opened up to the bar on friday nights anyways because we have bands there every friday. so sorry that this article confuses people on the transition :-)
Guys it was crucial what happened. the people that leased just came to my boss on saturday, "oh by the way we're this is our last night open" and on friday they moved to alaska. sounded fidhy to us all there. but our bar is what brought most people in anways and we're still open. the cleaning part in this did not mean that it was gross, my boss is just giving it a "facelift" and opening it open, becuase they people running the restauraunt left ALOT of stuff behind so we're trying to take care of it. some of you did not need to be cruel about it, because obviosly you havent been there in a while....woo's has changed tremendously in the past couple of years.
If the smoking ban was an issue, why are they changing it into a nightclub?
They were doomed the day shanghai opened.
I forgot this place was even there......
As amusing as a Chinese restaurant going nightclub is, I’ve actually had a couple of drinks there. The beer was cold and I’m one of the many patrons that felt I was fully serviced by stopping in. So why not just turn up your pacemakers, grab some take out, have a drink with my Facebook friend W. Pagoda, and party on smartly… Woo-Hoo!
I have been to Woo's several times many years ago and smoking was never an issue. Interesting that he has to bring up the smoking ban where it doesnt apply.
"Voss blames a weak economy and the city's workplace smoking ban for the change." Just had a find a way to through in the smoking ban, huh? Anyone that has been to Woo's would certainly know just from visiting the place a few times that the smoking ban was the last thing that caused this place to be abandoned. As mentioned, maybe the horrible food, service and simply getting the orders correct played a part? Maybe it's just me ...
yikes.."cleaning for the next few weeks"??..Glad I haven't stopped there in years...
Honestly, the food has gone downhill in the past years! I remember my family getting carry-out every Saturday night and it was great. My wife and I got carry-out earlier this year and the food was terrible, not to mention they mesed up the order twice, causing me to drive accross town to bring it back and get the right stuff.
