Main Street South

Leo's Grill & Malt Shop

Leo's Grill & Malt Shop is at 131 Main Street South (651-351-3943) and posts "Open Daily 11-8," with a Main Street dining room it lists as year-round, an ice cream window and outdoor patio seating. It says its made-to-order burgers use "fresh (never frozen) ground Midwest beef," and that it hand-scoops premium ice cream for its malts. Its separate soft-serve stand, Gloria's, has closed for the 2026 season, according to Leo's site.

Brick & Bourbon

Brick & Bourbon's Stillwater location is at 215 Main Street South (651-342-0777). The company says its "craft cocktail bars focus on fresh, simple ingredients." Its posted Stillwater menu includes sharable plates, cast iron burgers served with fresh-cut fries, a list of mac and cheese dishes, a parmesan-crusted walleye and a brunch menu. On reservations, the restaurant says it takes them Tuesday to Thursday for all group sizes and Sunday all day; on Friday and Saturday it takes them until 4 p.m., and after 5 p.m. it uses an online waitlist.

Stillwater Proper

Stillwater Proper, at 227 Main Street South, calls itself a "contemporary American Restaurant & Bar" from the team behind Lolo American Kitchen. Its home page lists smashed burgers, house-made fries, rice bowls, burrata, chicken wings, seared ahi and teriyaki salmon. It serves Sunday brunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and posts happy hour on weekdays from 3 to 5 p.m. Reservations: 651-342-2053.

Lolo American Kitchen

Lolo's Stillwater restaurant is at 233 Main Street South (651-342-2461). The restaurant group's site describes "Gourmet American Street Food & Killer Cocktails" and a menu of street foods "inspired by American regional flavors and an array of cuisines from various cultures around the globe." It names local farm partners, including Rising Sun Farm and Saint Croix Valley Produce.

Feller

Feller is at 402 South Main Street, inside Lora, a hotel at the south end of downtown. The restaurant describes itself as "a modern-day homage to hunters and gatherers" in a former brewery built into the bluffs, and says it serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Its posted hours start at 11 a.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. on weekends. Phone: 651-571-3501.

Off Main Street

Domaćin

Domaćin is a restaurant, wine bar and wine shop at 102 South 2nd Street and advertises free off-street parking. Its posted menu runs from small plates (a cheese board at $26) to entrées (beef tenderloin at $52, shrimp and grits at $35), with wines by the glass. The restaurant and lounge are open Tuesday to Saturday, 4 to 10 p.m. It is closed Sunday and Monday. The site gives two different opening times for the wine shop: Tuesday to Saturday from 2 p.m. at the top of the page, and from noon in the footer (both to 10 p.m.), so call 651-439-1352 if you are going for the shop.

The Freight House

The Freight House is on the riverfront at 305 Water Street South, in the original Stillwater freight depot. The restaurant says the building was the first in Stillwater added to the National Register of Historic Places, and that its patio has more than 8,000 square feet of outdoor seating with views of the river and the Lift Bridge. Its menu, in its own words, "features savory house-smoked meats, fresh entree salads, shareable starters and sides, and hearty handhelds and burgers," with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options and more than 20 beers on tap.

The site lists "WINTER Hours" of Thursday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., closed Monday to Wednesday. A separate "Hours" block at the bottom of the same page shows Monday to Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Call 651-439-5718 before a weekday visit.

Brewery taprooms

River Siren Brewing

River Siren Brewing is on Main Street downtown, in the space that was formerly Maple Island Brewing, according to the brewery. It pours beer and house-made seltzer. River Siren does not run its own kitchen: it says you are welcome to bring takeout or delivery into the taproom, a fried-egg sandwich truck called The Good Egg parks in its lot, and Victoriano's pizza delivers to tables through a kiosk in the taproom. Patios are dog-friendly; the taproom is not. Its home page calls its posted schedule "Winter Taproom Hours," while the footer shows the same times under "WINTER HOURS (May-October)," so call if you are planning around a closing time. As of November 2026 it lists Trivia Mafia on Thursday nights.

Lift Bridge Brewery

The Lift Bridge Brewery taproom is at 1900 Tower Drive West and is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Its patio is dog-friendly; only service dogs are allowed inside. The November 2026 calendar shows rotating food trucks, trivia on Wednesday nights and a Friday Flight Night, which the brewery lists at $12 for a flight of four featured beers.

Check before you go

• Winter hours change: the Freight House and River Siren both post winter schedules. Domaćin and the Lift Bridge taproom are closed Mondays, and the Freight House is closed Monday to Wednesday on its winter schedule.
• Conflicting hours: the Freight House and Domaćin each show two sets of hours on their own sites, and River Siren labels the same schedule two ways. Call before you go.
• Parking: the City of Stillwater charges $1 an hour from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. in paid areas, and downtown parking is free on Tuesdays. The Freight House and River Siren lots are private and enforced by a separate company, so read the signs.
• Reservations: Brick & Bourbon, Stillwater Proper and Feller each list a reservation phone number or booking link on their sites.
• Left out: places that could not be confirmed open on their own website are not listed. The Dock Cafe is not here because its former web address now hosts an unrelated site.
