Excellent food, service, ambiance, and prices - 5 stars!…read more We didn't know what to expect. The 3 of us had pretty low expectations. But our visit was great. In the end, the three of us agreed that we definitely had a 5 star experience. We arrived at opening and we happened to be served by the owner himself - a really nice guy. He gave us a brief history of the bar, which is extensive. The Old Saloon has been around with the current name since 1975 (the building is a lot older). The current owner has been at the helm for 30 years! Obviously, he's knows what he's doing. Our food was excellent...everything from the Ellsworth Cheese Curds, the wings, the salad, the burger, the Chicago style hotdog, and the savory mac & cheese soup! Of course, since this is Wisconsin, they have a great selection of beer on tap. The prices were amazingly reasonable to. We probably would have paid double in the Twin Cities. The décor is cool too. Apparently, the owner's wife is the chief decorator and she does a great job. I particularly love the vintage and antique stuff. They have some very old and rare original neon signs, an old Schwinn Phantom, and an antique penny scale. There are a few reproductions here & there but most of it is totally original. Cool! Thanks for a great experience! Thumbs up! - Maxx

The beer selection is very thought out and the staff is friendly and inviting. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. Notice the old Brunswick Bar that sets the stage for very cozy feel. Highly recommend this place. I travel a lot and the Old Saloon is always a pleasure to visit with family, friends or just a beer to relax. Most authentic and unique restaurant/Bar in New Richmond. Just stopped by the Old Saloon. Truly the Green Dragon of this Shire. Really what a wonderful place and great food, beer and the staff and owners are gems. Highly recommend The Old Saloon Once again, stopped by the Old Saloon and it was delish. Very warm community pub.

We stopped in for a late lunch on our way through town…read more The restaurant is spacious with the bar and a separate dining area as well as a rooftop which was closed so I didn't see it. The bar was pretty empty at the time but a nice woman walked by us and made a few recommendations on the menu since she loved them so much. Lisa is the bartender and server. She was pleasant and regularly checked on us. Since the woman recommended the Chicken Wild Rice and Mushroom soup, we each decided to order a cup to go with our sandwiches. I ordered the BLT with fries. The bacon was crispy and the sandwich was delicious. Fries were hot and crispy. My husband ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. He said it was tasty. Now, to the chicken wild rice and mushroom soup. This is by far the most delicious wild rice soup we have ever eaten. My husband, being from the area has grown up eating chicken wild rice soup so we've eaten a lot of it over time. We loved it so much we bought a quart to go. Apparently everyone else loves it as well as she had pre to go containers of the soup for purchase. Now, the only gripe I have is the charge for extra sauces like a small mayo, etc. Really? This is so petty to do to your customers. Just don't. Other than that, we enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

We would've tipped 10%, but with the terminals the servers use, it makes it very hard to. we normally like this place but will not be returning due to the bad service. the servers name was melissa. would not recommend sitting on the patio when she is serving.

The pork chop was tender, juicy and flavorful while the potatoes were extra crispy. The lamb on a bed of peas with bits of crunchy chick peas on top of tzatziki was also amazing (I don't think it can outshine the pork chop) the lamb was a hearty serving of tender deliciousness as well. Ended things with the brown butter cake drizzled in salted caramel topped with mousse and pumpkin seeds - also fabulous. Our service was excellent - she was fun, friendly and gave us great recommendations. Very moody vibes in the evening which I love, it's perfectly small and cozy here.

The wait at the table was longer than we anticipated but luckily for us, there were some bar seats available. The bartender at the moment was Cameron. He gave us the rundown on the food and drinks and made several recommendations. We started off the evening with the Don Corlone. It was very tasty and also an Andorran Martini. Both drinks were delightful and were semi-sweet but not too sweet. The mixture of the Don Corlione had a perfect blend of citrus and sweetness. We then ordered the pastry puff poppers and they were amazing. The sauce complemented the pastry puffs and the filling left you wanting more. To finish the night we ordered tiramisu, cheesecake, and some bubbles. Thank you Cameron for the amazing service and experience we hope to be back again soon.

It wasn't all that busy, roughly three staff members in and out behind the bar inclusive of an employee who was working on a sangria mix? Pre made cocktail mix? Not sure but he was putting something together the majority of the time I was in. I digress. It wasn't just myself and guest who experienced the slow service, there was another group at the end of the bar that had to ask multiple times for their tab to multiple employees. On to the food: -I went with the Royale Smash Burger, which was quite tasty and honestly, the seasoning of the burger and the cheese stood so strong on their own I wish I didn't have the tomato and pickles in hindsight. Really great burger! -the side fries were solid and seasoned perfectly! -the onion rings we split was surprisingly the opposite. No real taste to the batter, came out not super hot, and really soggy. The exact opposite of the side fries and honestly, wish we'd skipped on them. Overall, the service kind of killed the experience, the burger was solid, and I'd skip the onion rings. There's some decent spots in Stillwater and this place always seems super busy this was the first chance I had to stop in and... not sure with the other options I'd jump to go back. Perhaps it was just an off service/off afternoon?

The 5-star reviews describing this place as a cocktail lounge or having met interesting people must be locals having a laugh at those of us who were looking for something unique in WBL. This is not it. It was loud, full of drunk people shouting at each other, and too busy for the single poor bartender trying to keep everyone served. They had a decent bar for mixed drinks but only serve Heggie's pizza for food. They only take cash--unless you're a regular (then they'll take your plastic). So bring cash, get one drink, and then run down the street to somewhere with a better menu and your choice of whiskeys.
