For now, Dooley said they have 3,300 square feet for the main area, and 800 for a parking lot in back.
With the support of the Water Street Bid Board and City Council, the University is another place Dooley would like to get support from, he said.
Kimberly Barrett, associate vice chancellor of student development and diversity, said the University would like to help the pub be responsible with students.
"Supporting any new legitimate business enterprise is something that, as a member of the community, something that we'd want to do," Barrett said. "I think that a place that has food ... as a prominent part of what they do is less likely to have problems (with alcohol misuse)."
Since his days as a student at UW-Eau Claire, Dooley said he wanted to own an establishment on Water Street. After former Cam' owner Mark Mouledoux decided not to rebuild, he found an opportunity that he's been rolling with since, he said.
"We're going to have something that no one else has," Dooley said. "(Dooley's Pub) will give people a place to unwind and not worry about it being crammed."
