Helix Wine, Craft Bar & Cafe

We hosted a get together for my moms 60th here a few weeks ago and had the most amazing experience. A few months ahead I called and worked with the owner on space, food, etc. She was so kind and accommodating! The service was incredible and the food and drinks were amazing!

What a fun atmosphere overlooking the River wall area! Great rooftop bar, excellent selection of wine to go, and a well stocked bar for any occasion. Staff was amazing and the owner took time out of his busy night to talk to us and tell us just a small bit of history of the area and how there dream became a reality for them ! We highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed!

If you are wanting craft cocktails and a relaxed sophisticated atmosphere. Then this place is an absolute must go to!!! They have a large selection of liquors, wines and hand made cocktails. If you are needing a bite to eat as well then you will have the perfect selection of handmade charcuterie boards, snacks, soft pretzels and select sandwiches. Definitely will be coming here again!!!

What a find! Stopped by for coffee and a snack after walking the River Prairie trails. The place is gorgeous: stunning bar, comfy seating, lots of glass and light, high celling, beautiful light fixtures - kind of a modern European feel.
We were greeted warmly and then seated ourselves.
Our server, David, was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to talk to. We had espresso, chai, and shared the non-cheese charcuterie board. The board was accompanied by a warm crusty loaf of thickly sliced bread (GF avail-able) that I used to make the most delicious little prosciutto sandwiches. Another memorable treat was the positively addictive rosemary walnuts. We decided to split dessert and chose a slice of the flourless chocolate cake. The cake was accented by some raspberries that leant a perfect pop of brightness to the rich, Belgian chocolate cake. This was simple food done perfectly and we loved it. So much so that I brought my husband and daughter back later that afternoon for the cheese charcuterie board, sandwiches and drinks. Same great service and delicious, fresh food.
This warm, sophisticated, and charming place is a gem.

Wow & Wow new place in River Prairie for great cocktails, wine, & craft beers! Beautiful interior with floor to ceiling windows. Outside decks will be great this spring! Desert menu looks inviting & not for dieters😄
Only negative was sidewalk could have been shoveled better with recent snow!
Will return ..

Unique cocktail menu and a retro, romantic atmosphere. Kind of a lounge setting. Highly recommend this wine bar- a must see if you’re visiting Eau Claire!

Tried this place out last night and loved it!! Great drinks and atmosphere. Staff were friendly and attentive. I recommend their penicillin cocktail! I’ll definitely come back when I’m in the area again.

The entire place was beautiful! The service was great and the owners were present and making sure everyone was having a wonderful time. There is plenty of seating options and is a fantastic place to unwind relax and have a bit of fun.

As soon as you walk in, you can tell the owners carefully curated everything in the space. Even the bar stools were beautiful and actually comfortable! We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door and bartender was very attentive and had excellent recommendation on drinks based on what I said was my "usual". The soft pretzel with mustard was delicious and the olive selection was excellent. My husband and I will definitely be back soon!

We sat in the rain outside and still got wonderful service! Jacob took great care of us and was very knowledgeable about the wine and had great snack recommendations. He diva’d down! The owner checked on us frequently and steamed our oat milk for us. Which was slay!!! We loved it here, swag-tastic experience

Enjoyed a respite in Eau Claire at this nice wine, cocktail, coffee bar with light bites & boards and an interesting selection of wines. As a spoiled Cabernet aficionado, I was delighted to try a Chardonnay that I had never had the pleasure of tasting. Love expanding the wine palate and this lovely place was inviting and loved the ambiance and service here. Give it a visit if you are in the area.

One of the go to places for crafted cocktails in the Chippewa Valley. Amazing atmosphere both inside and out on their rooftop bar. Located in the River Prairie development in Altoona. Highly recommend!!

This place was beautiful, comfortable and inviting! I loved each wine that I tasted and I am excited to go back and try a cocktail or beer too! The food was amazing as well, fantastic cheese board. I can't wait to go back!

Classy place. They should get some laminated menus, the paper ones are tacky. Lots of different drinks to choose from. Wine is higher end. They do offer domestic beers and some small bites to eat. The wait staff is very attentive.

Helix is a delightful new spot with top notch wines, delightful nibbly bits, and service than can't be beat! This is a must stop spot, you won't be disappointed. The owners will help the wine novice navigate their way to the perfect wine, and for the connoisseurr they will help find a new favorite you didn't even know you loved. This is our new favorite spot, we'll meet you here soon!

Forgot pics, but Helix, Dang! 10/10. Fig goat cheese app, turkey sandwich, olive tray, meat charcuterie board, and those cookies 😍.... the wine recommendations based on our favorites was spot on. ( Thank you Lisa!) We had so much fun. So good that we bought a half a case based on their suggestions. Pricing on wines is better than Woodman's. Our new wine destination. Thank you Helix! ❤❤❤

Great service and cocktails! Amazing bourbon selection at reasonable prices. Cheers!

This is what we needed in the area! Someplace where you can enjoy a simple drink, or have a complex cocktail.

The wine and whiskey selection is not too bad. I look forward to frequenting this joint and seeing the offerings change throughout the year.

The German crumb cake for the Cafe service in the morning is AMAZING! Very comfortable and attractive bar at night as well. Enjoyed the refreshing non-alcoholic cocktail myself!

A beautiful setting, both the inside ambiance and with big window views of the park. Friendly service and an interesting selection of wines and other beverages, including a few non-alcoholic cocktails.
