Houligans Steak & Seafood Pub

Just love this steak and seafood spot where you leave with a full tummy and good memories! Very classic atmosphere. Service was prompt, she visited our table often and gave thoughtful advice. The Espresso Martini was dessert in a glass! We shared Filet Mignon with a sauce called Candied Garlic. Kinda sweet for me but tasty. Will be back.

Loved the atmosphere in this pub. The business name has the word "pub" in it, but this place is really more of an upscale steakhouse. Don't be fooled by the small "storefront", this restaurant is actually pretty large. Lots of spectate rooms all with great woodwork features... like an old time saloon. Has a well stocked bar, but no TV's. (Not a bad thing!) Many whiskey's to choose from (among other spirits). Food was good. Rib eye steak had great flavor. Highly recommend adding mushrooms to anything you can, they were that good! You get a ton of them... so if you love shrooms, this is for you. Also had the French Onion Soup. Had a little spice to it. Couldn't put my finger on the flavor, but if a had to guess, I'd say red chili flake? The spice wasn't over powering by any means, but I would have liked the soup more without it. (But I'm not a spice guy... at all!) Downtown street parking was a little challenging, but eventually found a place not too far from the entrance. New favorite place in Eau Claire!

Had another visit to Houligans over the Holidays. It was a Saturday (28th) and not as large of a crowd. We have a reservation for 6:30 and watched several other groups get seated prior to us. Seated 20 minutes late. Prime rib was good, salmon special was ok. Drinks are always good. Still a great place, the whole reservation fiasco was really a bad way to start the dinner.

Great service and friendly staff. The food was really good though I was a little disappointed there were not too many options to choose from to make the meal "healthier" though we made it work. We tried the ribeye, house salad, surf and turf and we left full and satisfied.

Betty is a national treasure! She was very friendly juggling our large party of 15 people last night. She made sure our drinks were full/replaced. She's quite hilarious and joked with us. She was on top of things and made our time at Houligans great! The French onion soup was absolutely delicious. I also enjoyed the candied garlic medallions dish, although the vegetables had no seasoning whatsoever. The restaurant itself has a good atmosphere. It could be good for a date or, in our case, a family dinner. Whenever we return, we have to ask for Betty! Some of the best service, hands down!

Another amazing steak. 12 oz candied new York strip was amazing, 1 small flaw I could've done without was the excessive fat (seemed like I tossed out half my steak) but that was just my preference the others ate the entire exact steak cut. Had a Tom & Jerry whiskey rum, was delicious as well. Service was great.

Always great food and service. Great old fashions. I had a dinner salad with salmon was wonderful.

Downtown Eau Claire location. Street parking was available right in front of restaurant. Has a nicer bar atmosphere, not a dirty college bar. Clean restaurant. Good food. Friendly and attentive service. We ate dinner on a Wednesday night and it wasn't extremely busy. Complimentary rolls came with our meal. The cheese curds were good. Candied garlic sauce is good (but know that it's sweet). We enjoyed our meal.

Best meal I've had in a long time steak bites for appetizer house salad and New York strip with seafood bake and strawberry cheesecake with crème brûlée for dessert just awesome service was great tables and bathrooms were spotless if u have the chance go here as often as you can

Tried no reservation walk in. Snotty front of house, we found our own seats at the bar. Actually better, most bar staff are SO much more fun with which to interact. These guys did not disappoint. 3 different bar staff worked with us and we never wanted for anything. And they were HUSTLING. Asian wings were really tasty. Cajun shrimp tortellini was also quite tasty (and big!), but could use even more spice. My wife didn't care for the candied garlic NY strip. Steak was cooked well, but the sauce was anemic and lacked flavor. I would definitely come back - love the bar staff!!
