And then there are the cheese curds… not to be dramatic, but they might be the best in town. Perfectly golden and crispy on the outside, warm and gooey inside — exactly how Wisconsin cheese curds should be. They’re a must-order every time.
We’re also big fans of the cocktails — creative, fresh, and consistently well made. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic old fashioned or something with a modern twist, their bartenders know what they’re doing. They’re as friendly as they are skilled, and they add a lot to the overall vibe.
But what really sets Junior’s apart, especially in the warmer months, is their amazing patio. It’s spacious, relaxed, and just a great place to kick back with friends or family. Add in some live music — which they regularly host — and it becomes a full experience. It’s the kind of local spot that reminds you why you love living in (or visiting) River Falls.
The staff are always welcoming, the service is consistently great, and the crowd is a fun mix of locals and newcomers. Whether you’re looking for a chill date night, a group hangout, or a casual dinner with good energy, Junior’s Tap House checks all the boxes.
We’re lucky to have a place like this right here in town. If you haven’t been lately — or ever — do yourself a favor and stop in soon. Grab a drink, order the cheese curds, and enjoy one of the best spots in the St. Croix Valley.
