Hundreds of bottled sodas. Curious candy. Strange snacks. Dirty sodas built to order — and soon, endless build-your-own ice cream floats. The rarest, weirdest, where-did-they-find-this treats on the river, all under one roof at 115 W Spring St in Chippewa Falls.
The Raft carries a regularly rotating selection of super-premium, rare & unique, and nostalgic beverages, candy, and snacks. Nostalgic favorites you haven't seen since you were a kid, small-batch surprises, imports from around the world, and the strange stuff Stash drags in just to see the look on your face. If you spot something curious — grab it. It may float away before your next visit.
"If it looks familiar, you're not looking hard enough. Stay curious." — Stash
The Chippewa Valley's largest craft soda selection — 100+ bottled sodas at any given time, and always rotating. Proper cane-sugar root beers, regional bottlers, international imports, super-premium small batches, and flavors that shouldn't work but somehow do. Sip while you play, or take a treasure home.
"Four bottles balance on my belly just fine. Coincidence? I think not." — Stash
Make it a dirty soda! Pick your build at the station:
Grab a cup, mix to your heart's desire, enjoy, and share!
"Go on, get a little dirty — it's otterly worth every sip. Stay curious." — Stash
The frosty half of the fountain: 6 rotating flavors of super-premium ice cream, scooped by the cone, the cup — or straight into your soda. Expect the classics done right, plus curious guest flavors that come and go with the season.
"Cold, curious, and balanced right on my tummy. Perfection." — Stash
Build yours belly-up style: 6 flavors of ice cream meet 100+ craft sodas. That's over 600 single-scoop floats — and once you start mixing two scoops, more than 2,100 curious concoctions. Nobody within a hundred miles comes close.
The rarest, weirdest, where-did-they-find-this candy on the river. Swedish imports, freeze-dried oddities, Japanese treats, and the nostalgic counter classics you haven't seen since you were a kid — all rotating, all curious. Feeling lucky? Pull a drawer from Stash's Cache: $10 per pull, up to $25 in value.
"We otters have to taste everything — and we always try the strange-looking one first." — Stash
International chips, puffy snacks, Pocky in flavors you didn't know existed, and Stash's own hand-packed snack mixes — fuel for long campaigns and longer game nights. The lineup rotates as fast as the river runs, so the strange snack you loved last month might already be a legend.
"Something cold and curious, always within reach. Stay curious." — Stash
We otters are the curious ones of the animal kingdom — we have to taste everything, and we always try the strange-looking one first. So when we rest, we don't head for shore. We float. We link paws so nobody drifts off, tip our bellies to the sun, and balance whatever curious treat we've found right there on our tummies. A whole bunch of us floating together even has a name: a raft. The best afternoons of my pup-hood were spent exactly like that — drifting easy, something cold and curious always within reach.
Every bottle, float, and snack from The Raft pairs perfectly with our multi-level lounge deck overlooking the Chippewa River — one of the best views in the city, no dice required. Grab a float and join the raft.
"A raft is what you call a group of otters floating together. It's also the perfect way to enjoy a float. Stay curious!" — Stash
