I went to portside for a private party they had really good food setup for everyone. They had two bartenders working so everyone was getting really good service. Overall it was a really good time I would recommend portside. I was down there for Terry's retirement party and the food was great and the wait staff was totally awesome I had a great time.

i’m a stillwater local and have worked downtown for 8 years now and every time i come in after work the security is the most foul and nasty people, i understand security for a club/bar can be a difficult job but your security there have to be miserable because there’s no reason they should be as rude and disrespectful. john i can imagine you are a good person but do an inventory of your “security” respectfully.

Honestly surprised this place is still in business after so many shutdowns from health and safety lol
Every single time i've dined here, has one upped the worst dinner service I have ever experienced in my life. The first time I ever went here someone on staff called me a racial slur (I'm asian) and made me and my wife wait for 45 min to get a table. This place has continued to go down hill every year since 2015.
STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

Here’s a photo of their ‘dress code’ which is utterly ridiculous! i’d think twice before going to portside because they ain’t no upscale night club to be having these strict of a dress code 🤣

We weren’t allowed in because a friend of mine was wearing “hey dude” shoes, we were confused but left and when we came back to the car later, another man wasn’t allowed in because of “hey dude” shoes. We asked him the reasoning and apparently guys who wear those shoes are too likely to throw beer bottles? It was absolutely ridiculous. If you want to go make sure your outfit choices are appropriate.

Security Didn’t help an intoxicated kid down the stairs, and when a costumer (me) helped him down the stairs they forcefully kicked the customer (me) out and didn’t let him back in. Security are absolutely cowards with no training. I hope one of these times a drunk costumer falls and they get charged with it absolutely sissy’s and on top of that they couldn’t handle one grown man without calling 2 then 3 then 4 then 5 of there own…..what strong men. Losers.

The female bouncer is the best she has fun with her job and takes it seriously when stuff goes south.

Do not go to Portside. Security favors the aggressor in any sort of incident even when they witness the incident first hand. If you defend yourself they will kick you out and let the aggressor back inside even after the aggressor threatens your life.
Husband has his jacket stolen from there so be sure to leave your jacket and belongings in your vehicle. Doesn't matter that they have a crap ton of security floating around the place! Also doesn't matter how many fans they have there it still gets hot as crap on there! Maybe they should consider putting some screens out bars on those front windows and opening those!

Portside proved to be the perfect venue for our private party of 25-50 people. The bartender was great and really down to earth. Other staff were good at their jobs. We had pizza and pasta which tasted delicious and were hot. Bathrooms are different, men's and ladies rooms share sinks out of their respective areas.

Would not recommend! Awful security that abuses their power. I was kicked out for minding my own business. I was just throwing darts at the club, and security walked up saying I had too much and had to go...but I only had 3 drinks and just had 2 glasses of water. I was even nice enough to buy some random people a drink as I got myself some water. Like hell, I had too much! I wasn't bothering anyone just kept to myself. Bullies! That's what the security there is. Should have never gone after my little brother told me he had made a stupid joke the security guard didn't like and was refused entry, completely sober too...It's an awful establishment, that abuses their power. But hey, if they don't want my money, no skin off my back. I just won't be going back.

Zero stars overall. Me and 3 of my friends went out to Stillwater for a fun night out. We wanted to dance while having a couple of drinks. We were really excited because me and one of my friends apart of this group went there the weekend prior and it was really fun. Well we didn’t even make it through the door as the security guard stated sweatpants were not allowed, even though the weekend prior I had worn joggers from American eagle with no problem. This is unacceptable as the security guard stated only jeans & dress pants are allowed because anything less seems like you are apart of gang, this establishment is not considered a high class restaurant but more of a night club. They profile based off of clothing, clothing that you can purchase anywhere including high standard classy brands. Would this establishment rather have their guests wear no clothes? I do not recommended giving them any business.

A Friend got kicked out bc she said “hi” to one of the security guards and then a friend of ours was leading everyone to the bathroom bc we didn’t know where it was. Stupidest reason to get kicked out of the bar. There was more security in there than customers lol. They were watching everyone like a hawk, one wrong move and you’re kicked out so don’t bother drinking. Then my fiancé and his group wanted to surprise us in the bar and they weren’t even let in bc he had “basketball shorts” on. They literally and clearly were not basketball shorts so the guys checking IDs might need some fashion lessons and the guy had to announce it to everyone else there too. Don’t bother going here unless you just want to hang out with security.
