Whitey's Bar. Â Just like the one in NE Mpls. Â Sunday evening, was pretty empty but we just jumped in and got the place going. Â Service was fine and fun. Â Drinks were good. Â I mean, if you're in Stillwater and want the MPLS feel, you're an idiot (you went to Stillwater to get away from the city).
Whitey's is a great local bar (even though it's a city bar) it doesn't have that feel. Â It's quite, not tacky and they pour some good drinks.
Came here to grab just a beer with a friend... Nice small town bar, friendly staff. Very laid back. Paid $8.50 for two beers... That didn't include the tip. A couple tv's were stationed inside the bar on sports channels. Within walking distance of the St. Croix river. Cute town, great view.
Review Source:Great place to get a bite to eat (breakfast, lunch or dinner) and drink (or ten). I always ordered the beef tataki or just a BLT and they are both solid and the price was reasonable. Staff has always been friendly and quick with replenishing your drink of choice. It is a little small and it can get loud, but the high-ceiling divey-ness and the tall, hardwood bar with the bar-length mirror is great. In the summer (when it's not too humid) they open the street-facing windows. It's like you're sitting on your front porch watching passers-by.
Review Source:We went to Whitey's the other day after i did a tri, so I really wanted some carbs and salt. Â Whitey's it was!
I would give it 4 stars b/c our food was good, but my  beer was warm and my glass had a chip in it so I almost cut my lip.  I had the walleye sandwich, and my boyfriend had some sort of grilled chicken sandwich.  we also got chips and salsa as an app - which was surprisingly good.  the salsa and chips were fresh and homemade.
a few people around us ordered breakfast, and it looked gooooood. Â we were surrounded by giant omelettes, and i'm surprised my bf didn't take out the waitress to get his hands on one. Â maybe next time, but for this experience - our lunch was much better than we expected!
Whitey's has a cool, small town "dive-ish" feel...
Bartender was cool, the drinks were poured well.
TUNA TATAKI---a must try when at Whitey's. I don't know where bar's in Minnesota get tuna from, but Whitey's getting some good fish.
For Dinner, I had (by recomendation) the "Slow-Roasted" Beef Sandwich (aka French Dip). The sandwich was good...really big, but a bit dry if it weren't for the au jus.
Also gotta try the roasted peppercini's, as I hear Whitey (or his staff...) roasts them himself.
