Born on the South Hill
CORNER OF CHURCHILL & 4TH ST SOUTH
Meister's Bar & Grill in Stillwater, Minnesota is the original Meister's - founded in 1948 by Emmett James "Jim" Meister. Jim's German roots were the initial conceptual inspiration, but over time we've become an iconic community establistment, known for our unique, vintage decor, great pub food and cold beer! Throughout the decades, Jim's wife Eileen, along with his siblings, children and grandchildren, have kept the legacy in-tact. Although other locations have come and gone, the Stillwater location remains family owned and operated!

The Burgermeister
​
The Burgermeister was added to the menu in 1975, since becoming a staple and very popular crowd pleaser! The 3rd pound angus beef burger is grilled on a flattop in our open-concept kitchen, placed on a steamed Kaiser bun, and topped with real crumbled bacon bits, melted american cheese and fried or raw onions of your choice!
