We’ve got a question for the craft b**r fans who use the Untappd app. Last week we got a call from their sales team wanting to get Cavalier a verified page so then we have a presence on their app, can list our inventory on their built in menu, and use their templates for digital menus in the bar. We can definitely see the benefits, but it’s also $125 a month so we’re debating if it’s worth it or not.

We’ve always carried around 70 craft b**rs we rotate and like to keep fun and interesting without any of the pretentiousness stigma the craft b**r world can have. Our sales of craft b**r have plummeted the past few years for various factors, and so many articles say sales in general everywhere are way down for craft b**r. The business rule of 80/20 has always applied for us, meaning 80% of sales come from 20% of product, which for us is the standard rail mixers, Jameson, Captain, Jack, Crown, etc plus Busch Light, Coors, PBR, etc. But it’s that 20% of sales we like to focus on, the craft b**rs and cocktails, that make us unique and offer different options than every other bar in town.

So our question for those of you who use Untappd, would you be more likely to stop by if you saw us on there? Is that app even that relevant anymore? Would love any feedback, pros/cons, or tips you might have. Thanks!

💪🏽 TWO LOADERS NEEDED 💪🏽

Hey all, we need a couple volunteers to help load in gear tomorrow morning for Drowning Pool and Saliva and sticking around after the show if they need a hand loading out. Our local legend loader all-star, world champion headbanger, and all around awesome guy Metal Patrick Callan is in a walking boot and has doctors orders he can’t do what he loves doing most.

After lugging gear from the trailer to the stage, you’ll be added to the guest list and get to see the show. You’ll also get to meet the crew and see how the magic comes together. This is some heavy lifting, so we kinda need some brutes. Familiarity with setting up a stage is helpful but not required. You’ll also need to show up sober, be respectful, and do your best not to be in the way. Send us a DM if you’re up for it. Thanks!

Also this show is pretty much sold out and we’ll be shutting down the ticket link this afternoon. Better hurry if you wanna get one last minute before they’re gone 💨

🔥 TOMORROW NIGHT!! 🔥

We’ve got a very cool band of circus performers from all over the Midwest stopping by as part of the Deadman’s Carnival. They put on an excellent show filled with ooohs and ahhhs sprinkled with equal parts vaudeville and burlesque. Joining them all the way from Paris, France will be the Quintette du Hot Club de France to add musical accompaniment. Here’s to hoping the Brewers complete the sweep tonight so you won’t have to stay home tomorrow to watch them (we’ll have the game on tonight and tomorrow if necessary)

Yesterday our railing standoff with the city finally saw our fearless bureaucrats from city hall step things up. Jason was served a warrant to give the inspectors and the police officer they brought along access to the stairs inside the building so they could make their way up to the carport roof to inspect the railing. It’s nice to see them finally following legal procedures instead of just making their own rules to bully tax paying citizens who pay their bloated salaries so they can afford to live outside the city limits.

Code for railings requires no more than a 4 and 3/8 inch space between the spindles. This is so someone can’t shove a baby between them and have it plummet to its death. We’ll be damned if they didn’t find a couple of gaps that were 1/16 or 2/16 inches over that 4 and 3/8 inches. That’s it, shut it down, we’re not in compliance, we now face a $500 fine per day if it’s not corrected.

We are all just SHOCKED they found an infraction to continue dragging this thing out, we never saw that coming. There couldn’t possibly be any way these honorable boys are enjoying this like a band of masochistic psychopaths.

When building this thing, Jason cut some blocks that were the required 4 and 3/8 inches to use as spacers between the spindles to have the correct gap. But you know, sometimes when you’re drilling in a screw it’ll shift the wood ever so slightly. Or some of these boards aren’t completely straight and the gap measurements will be different along it’s length. This gross negligence sloppiness in our carpentry will now result in the deaths of thousands of babies who can only be saved with $500 per day sucked up by the city and all the righteous bureaucrats it employs. We’re just glad someone is thinking about the children.

We asked good ol’ city inspector Jeremiah to clarify what can be done that is in code to save millions of baby’s lives in the screenshots below, but alas, he is not permitted to share these heavily guarded secrets. So we will solicit advise from any of you who have some knowledge in these matters for your most cost effective suggestions. Best idea we decide to go with wins a pair of concert tickets.

Jason also has a trial in front of a judge this coming Thursday for not giving permission to our honorable inspection department bureaucrats to enter his property without a warrant, so the good times with the city will just keep on rolling along! We hope you all have been enjoying seeing your tax dollars hard at work with our regular updates that we generate revenue off of because our page is monetized.

Sometimes we wonder if to avoid all this pettiness if we’d have just been better off not saying anything about all the corruption we’d watch going on with the city raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars letting teenagers take over downtown and campus area bars. Hell, we could be raking in that money serving teens too instead of making trips to Menards. We’re probably too far past the point now where even sponsoring the police K-9 unit could make the city look the other way on these 2/16 inch baby killer spindle gaps. Lesson learned, in the future just shut up and OBEY.

On a side note, we’re also pretty impressed with ourselves we made this whole long ass post without going for the obvious low hanging fruit and make some 4 and 3/8 inch p***s measurement jokes. We decided that would just be crass and juvenile, far below the standards of the internet.

HOLY MOLY!! Saturday night we had a crew who showed up to a birthday party in the theater who were a bit too amped up on whatever. We don’t know what they were beefing with each other about, and don’t really care, but we had to kick them all out. They took their antics to the street. And boy oh boy did they put on a show for our cameras!

This little 5 second clip you get to see a woman run up on a guy who is getting swung on by another woman and just unload a can of BEAR MACE right on his grill. Damn, we can only imagine how unpleasant that must feel.

Not long after this a couple knuckleheads started flashing guns, by this point neighbors had already called the police who sent in the entire force and locked the block down for an hour. Good times, this is what trying to have a fun night out in downtown La Crosse has devolved into.

We feel bad for the couple who were celebrating their birthday. They’re real sweet people who rented out the theater, brought in performers, had a buffet of food for everyone, and put a lot of work into hosting a very nice party that got ruined by a handful of people with zero respect. But for real tho, this camera footage is next level 🫪

Closing time is always our favorite part of the night. The crowds have gone home and it’s usually just our homies hanging out winding down the night. We like this candid pic of Sofie, Ryan and Macy close to bartime when Cavalier is at its vibiest. Who says nothing good ever happens after midnight?

This will be the last alley show we do for the season, and it’s going to be a fun one! If you’ve never experienced an alley show, this is your chance. It’s one of our favorite spots to see local bands do their thing.

🍻 WELCOME FESTERS! 🍻

Cavalier, as always, provides a laidback experience during Oktoberfest for those of you who want to partake in the merriment without all the excess that engulfs most of the city. We’re the calm oasis when you need a break from the chaos. And we don’t raise our prices on anything. Pretty much, we just do what we always do, except with 10 fest b**rs you can order.

We open at 5pm today and tomorrow, hope you stop by!
