- We have not only one dining venue but three on the premises of our Stillwater MN Hotel. Charlie’s Restaurant offers breakfast fare, as well as lunch and dinner. Next door, Charlie’s Pub offers Irish-themed pub grub and drinks. (Walk-up and takeout service only for now, but check back!) Both offer spectacular views of the Stillwater Lift Bridge, one of America’s last surviving vertical-lift spans.

The views of the St. Croix River, the Stillwater Lift Bridge, and the city are spectacular, so bring your camera, and our food and drinks are every bit the equal of the scenery. There are limited food and beverage service in winter. Enjoy the fire pit!
