I wasn't sure if we needed a reservation but decided to call and had to leave a vm with the time, how many, etc. When I showed up on Saturday evening since I hadn't heard back from the Velveteen I assumed we didn't have a reservation but alas they had us down and were sat at a lovely table with relaxing velvety chairs. I had the King Kamehameha - it has rum, banana, etc...a little slice of Hawaii they say and it sure was. Yum! Hubby had the Mutineer which was a bit boozy for my liking. Service was great and also the lovely live music that matched the ambience of the place. Will be back for sure!

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.

"Contemporary American" was the vibe, lights were low, lots of wood/black pipe. Staff was exceptionally attentive, including our server (terribly remiss to have forgotten her name, but she was absolutely perfect and we enjoyed sharing some conversation with her as well). Proper Smashburger (8/10). I got mine with the caramelized onions (how can one not?) and it was perfect. Great bun-to-meat ratio, bun was not overly starchy or dry. Lettuce was fresh, onions were bangin, and the garlic aioli tied it all together. Sweet vinegar pickles were a nice touch. Togarashu Fries (8/10). Fresh cut skinny fries topped with a spicy seasoning that sneaks up on you. Served w/ a yuzu miso mayo for dipping that gave it just enough tang and paired well w/ the spicy. Truffle Fries (10/10). Fresh cut skinny fries topped w/ fresh grated and some diced chives. Served w/ a garlic (?) aioli that was top notch. Absolutely fantastic side.

While visiting Stillwater, we stopped here for lunch. Upon entering I observed that it looked…read morereally clean for a bar. We were also greeted by numerous employees. All were friendly and professional. Inside they had numerous tables and a couple of booths. The bar portion also seemed to be a good size. They had a few televisions throughout. They also have a touch tunes music player. The service was fast and accurate! The menu is a la carte. My sister, daughter and I all had burgers and fries while my wife ordered chicken wings. The burgers are made to order. On mine I had added bacon, cheese and an egg. It was delicious. The fries were also good. My sister and my daughter also liked their food. My wife really enjoyed her chicken wings. She told me that they were good and spicy. She also said, "it has been a while since I have had good wings." If you are in Stillwater Minnesota or visiting, I highly recommend stopping here!

Stopped into Brick and Bourbon in Stillwater and immediately knew I made the right call sitting at…read morethe bar. The exposed stone walls and that huge wall of whiskey bottles behind the bar give the place a cozy, speakeasy kind of feel. I had to try their take on an Old Fashioned, and it did not disappoint. It came loaded with a giant orange peel and topped with a couple thick strips of crispy bacon and a piece of what I'm pretty sure was a bacon-waffle garnish - such a fun, over-the-top touch that actually worked with the drink instead of feeling gimmicky. The bourbon itself was smooth with just the right amount of sweetness, and the smoky bacon on top added a savory contrast that made it way more interesting than your typical Old Fashioned. The bartender clearly knew the menu well and was happy to chat through the whiskey selection, which made the whole experience feel personal rather than rushed. Great spot if you're looking for a laid-back bar with a serious cocktail program and a little bit of playful flair. Already looking forward to going back and working through the rest of their drink menu.

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.
