17 Best Bars in Stillwater

“Cool newer diner in downtown Stillwater! I love diners and this place met all of my expectations. Food was amazing and the music was on point. I got the cheeseburger and fries which I believe are made in house. I highly recommend it! My husband has the buffalo chicken cheesesteak with tots and had no complaints! We also shared the cheese curds for an app and they were outstanding! Love that they also have a full bar and local bear on tap!“

“Why have we waited so long to come back here?! Food and service were impeccable. If you are craving some awesome Greek food and a cozy environment, Phil’s Tara Hideaway is the spot. We will be back very soon!“

“Danny at The Lumberjack was amazing! He recommended their margarita slushies which was one of the best I've ever had. Great location, great staff, and a great time!“

“Sampled a few different Thor ciders at Ciderfest 2022, and honestly… they were fantastic. I may have found my new favorite Cider Brewer!“

“Hillside partnered with the 3rd st post.“

“Fun dive bar. The bartender was very nice and helpful. He obviously is very familiar with his regulars. For us that have never visited his bar before, he was sure to let us know up front this is a cash only establishment. It is nice to know so we do. It look like fools scrambling for a atm at the last minute.The beer selection is just right. They had plenty of offerings in several spectrums of beer. The liquor offerings are very plentiful for this level of bar.We will be back again and I hope to enjoy the Harbor Bar more often.“

“It was a great! We sat on the patio at 5:30. Good food, lots of family w/kids. I will go back again. My husband like the Mac and cheese and I had a Rachel that was good.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of room for the kids on the patio.“

“What a unique hotel - beautiful stone walls and archways. Nice cafe and restaurant right there on property and easy walk to river or shops, restaurants and bars. Everyone was wonderful and very helpful. I only wish I could have stayed longer!“

“Let's not let minors drink and then boot them out at closing time without knowing if they are getting home safe.“

“Great bar with lots of beer, good happy hour prices, superb bloody mary's, and music on Wednesdays. Also there's a cool seafood restaurant right next door that you can easily get and eat in the bar as well. Lots of TVs and good for sports.“

“We came to Stillwater for a nighttime get away and stumbled upon Sal’s. We were seated immediately, greeted by our waitress, Penny with a smile and great conversation! The menus had great variety and was delicious! This place is worth the trip for us and we WILL be back! Thanks Penny for your awesome service that made our visit that much better!“

“Great service is the order of the day, and we had a perfect date night dinner and cocktails. The Crab Cakes, Scallops and Wagyu were on point. Matchstick has one of the most varied selection of drinks of any place we've ever been. It was absolutely fantastic to find rare spirits like Cazdanes Anejo, and Nassif Cat's Distillery Rum.“

“We went here for drinks on a Sunday afternoon. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The drinks were good. The prices are a little high but that was expected. The view from our table was awesome!
Parking in Stillwater to get to the rooftop is horrible.

Parking: Stillwater is very busy on a weekend. There is a few public lots but they fill up quickly. There is street parking but that fills up also. There is a parking garage about 4 blocks away for a fee.“
