DUE TO THE ONGOING COVID-19 PANDEMIC, IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP OUR STAFF AND GUESTS SAFE, FACE COVERINGS ARE APPRECIATED, BUT ARE NOT REQUIRED.

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE OXBOW HOTEL AND THE LAKELY
The hospitality and service industries are particularly susceptible to income instability. As an organization, Pablo Group, the management company behind The Oxbow Hotel and The Lakely, seeks to provide value to our community through Experiences, a collection of hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, and bars throughout Eau Claire. The coronavirus pandemic has provided Pablo Group with a unique opportunity to review and evaluate the state of those endeavors. As we reflected on the compensation model, we came to the conclusion that we can and will do better. Every employee within Pablo Group is now making at least $16 per hour while earning PTO, and those working more than 20 hours per week are offered benefits, including healthcare and a 401k. Concurrently, our menu prices are reflective of our wages and benefit costs. It is Pablo Group’s hope that our new structure improves financial stability and creates better working conditions for employees throughout our organization.

The Lakely is a restaurant, bar, and a venue. A place to gather, hang, and absorb the culture. A place to feel at home whether you’re a local, a traveler, or something in between.

The Lakely boasts a locally-sourced, seasonal menu. We serve casual Midwest modern comfort foods, including our famous Koldtbord. Behind the bar we feature a cleverly curated list of craft cocktails and local brews on tap and in bottles.

Evenings are reserved for our signature stage hosting local and touring jazz and other live music. Our generous courtyard patio has outdoor lounge seating, high-top tables, two fire pits, a yard game lawn, and more.
