Stillwater Proper

Stillwater Proper is the latest impressive creation from the talented duo, Joe Ehlenz and Brad Nordeen, the culinary team behind beloved local favorites, Lolo American Kitchen and Lolito Cantina. Stillwater Proper is not just a restaurant; it’s an experiential destination that combines a cocktail bar and a distillery, all focused on providing truly superior food and drink experiences for our guests. We proudly share our inviting space with 45th Parallel Distilling, enhancing our offerings. Our local spirits bar program features an extensive selection of hundreds of small, artisanal local distillers, along with a diverse array of beers, thoughtfully curated wines, and housemade products crafted by our award-winning bar crew. We place a strong emphasis on utilizing local, fresh, and organic ingredients whenever possible, reflecting our commitment to quality. We genuinely love collaborating with small local farmers, craftspeople, brewers, and distillers to offer our clients one-of-a-kind culinary experiences. Furthermore, we are dedicated to using only humanely raised and antibiotic-free meats and seafood, underscoring our belief that what we consume should contribute positively to our health. This philosophy is one we are proud to share with our clients. Some of our esteemed purveyors include Rising Sun Farm, C&S Gardens, Axdahl’s Farm, St. Croix Produce, Beaver Creek Farm, The Fish Guys, Ranchers, and many more talented partners.
