They are located on the southwest side of the lift bridge with gorgeous views of the river, bridge and lots of great people watching. Huge patio umbrellas and the place is a well run machine. They have lots of great food options and I would say they have definitely updated their menu with more modern options....yay! I got the grilled peach salad and added salmon. Perfect summer salad. It included grilled peaches, blackberries, candied pecans, feta, spring mix and raspberry vinaigrette. It was light and delish. Service was great, helpful and shockingly fast. This is also a great place for huge parties of people. The tables are HUGE, just like their patio space. It's also recognized as a historical place. Check out the placard.

Tucked away in the most unsuspecting spot, this is one of the hidden gems of Stillwater!…read more Plenty of street parking available outside or paid lot access across the street, sneak into the door and travel down to a whole underground speakeasy! The bartenders and servers keep the theme front and center in this prohibition-era spot! Plenty of comfy couches and seating arrangements to support small to medium groups! Cocktail menu has the classics and inventive new takes! Haven't had a bad drink from this spot in many a visit! Can't wait to see what they mix up next!

On a beautiful day, we decided to make a stop for cocktails at The Velveteen. Upon arriving, we…read moreentered the door and descended dimly lit stairs, then passed through a stone hallway to reach the entrance. 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.

Stopped into Howard's Bar for dinner on a random Tuesday evening with a party of five, including a…read morecouple of kids. The place is split into a bar area with tables and a smaller dining area. We opted for the dining section since we had little ones with us. There was one server covering our section, which had our table and another table. While she seemed to be keeping up with orders reasonably well, her friendliness left something to be desired. As the face of the restaurant, especially in a family-friendly section, a warmer attitude would've gone a long way. Food-wise, everything we ordered was solid. I had the deluxe patty melt with fries which was tasty, well-cooked, and a generous portion. Others at the table had walleye strips, nachos, mac and cheese, and another sandwich (can't remember the name). Across the board, everyone enjoyed their meals, and the portions were definitely generous for the price. Overall, Howard's delivered on food and portion size, but the service could use a little polish to make it a more welcoming experience. Would I come back? I'd likely consider, I just hope the service is better this time.

Now for the food, wow the chips n dip we could eat for hours as well as the rosemary fries, truly amazing!! The wings were also a highlight of it all. The tomato carpaccio was delicious but wish there was more tomatoes. My personal favorite was the crostini, love the mix of the goat cheese and apricot. The least underwhelming were the tacos, would not recommend. Would highly recommend!!

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 menu wasn't accurate, they were understaffed so the service was a little random. Good chicken wings, I had a Thai chicken wrap appetizer that was soupy and too sweet. My wife had a hamburger ("pink or no pink" - she asked for pink) and got a grey, dried out patty. Why ask if you can't cook it anyway? A fine dinner for $60, but it was twice that with drinks. I don't think we'll be back. Not horrible, there are just so many other options in downtown Stillwater.

Used to love this place but after going back in late Dec 2025 it has gone downhill a little, and I…read morewholehearted agree with the other review that says it's a one and done type place. Maybe we just had a bad server but he was really bad, insulting, got the order wrong so he could get through the task faster, just not what I've come to expect there. Also it was a way younger and antsier seeming crowd than I expected, which wasn't odd since most other places downtown had someone at the door checking IDs that night. Probably one to avoid until the summer season

It was a short visit, but was filled with fun vibes and great service. Overall it is a solid spot to grab a drink if you're wandering around Stillwater. I would definitely stop by again!

He kept the beers coming as we enjoyed the evening.
