Tucked away on Main Street, The Abbey has quietly earned its place as one of the town’s favorite local hangouts.  It’s the kind of place where everyone feels welcome, from college students looking to unwind after class to longtime residents catching up over a drink. With its easygoing atmosphere, friendly staff, and unbeatable drink prices, The Abbey has mastered the art of casual fun. 

One of the bar’s most-loved features is its free pool. Whether you’re a shark lining up the perfect shot or just playing for laughs with friends, the tables are always open and ready. The no-cost play makes it easy to spend hours competing, chatting, and enjoying the night without ever feeling rushed.  

If you’re feeling hungry, grab a handful of free popcorn—a small touch that adds to The Abbey’s classic charm. The smell of freshly popped kernels fills the air, pairing perfectly with a cold beer or cocktail from the bar. Speaking of drinks, the prices are among the best in town. From local brews to your favorite mixed drinks, you’ll find something delicious without breaking your budget. Every day they have specials going on, like five-dollar White Russians on Thursdays. 

What really sets The Abbey apart from other bars in the area is its sense of fun and community. The photo booth—a favorite amongst groups and couples—captures the spirit of the night, smiles, laughter, and the kind of memories you’ll want to keep forever. It’s not unusual to see a crowd gathered around the booth, swapping out silly poses before sending the photos to themselves. 

The staff, who are always warm and welcoming, make every visit feel personal. Whether they’re remembering your usual order or greeting you with a friendly hello, they bring the kind of small-town hospitality that turns first-time visitors into regulars. So, if you’re looking for a spot that mixes laid-back fun with genuine charm, head over to The Abbey. Between the free pool, fresh popcorn, great drinks, it’s more than just a bar; it’s a Menomonie tradition.
