Kruse In

I would have to agree with the first review. Other than the music scene occasionally offering a decent local band, the venue has little to offer other than drunk owners and trashy employees/​patrons.
Drinks are cheap, but they are in most places in Wausau.
Save your money, and drive 5 minutes to downtown Wausau for a decent drink, better bands, and a classier atmosphere.
To the previous poster: Posting that you’ve been invited to after hours bar parties is incredibly unintelligible, as it is ILLEGAL for them to do this. Way to stick your foot in your mouth.

I have been here a few times, never on my own accord.
It’s pretty average aesthetically, there’s a stage and a decent bar. Local bands play here quite a bit, which is great if you only like nu-​metal.
I’d say this is the best trait of the bar.
Other than that. I’ve had only rude experiences with the bar tenders, and the owners. They’re unfriendly, sarcastic, and down right rude to a point where I’ve questioned their mental stability. (Particularly, what I assume is their sound guy, Boo. He’s simply creepy, and doesn’t respond to simple questions, just stares.)
The drinks are over priced. (4 $ for a Pabst? Are you kidding me?) The bar is very clicky, and they rudely usher out all paying patrons at the end of the night so they can party in the back pool room with their friends.
All in all, an annoying bar. You’d be better off going to the strip club across the street or heading downtown to PI or Glass Hat.

Ok so here is my problem with Unilocal and the people that review. I am in Wausau for work and every review that I have seen on Unilocal has been completely wrong. I avoided the Kruse in because of the review. I actually had a chance to stop there tonight and again I found the review to be wrong. The staff not only made me feel welcome they made me feel at home! Nate and there was a new girl that I did not get her name but we had a great time and they at no time entered a back room to «party» without me. So my point is take these reviews with a grain of salt and try a place even if it has a bad review. I would have no problem telling anybody about the Kruse in.
