Came in to Stillwell‘s for a bite and a couple of cocktails before our comedy show event and really enjoyed ourselves. Great history on the fountain that’s at the front entrance. It’s actually a well. That’s how it got its name stillwells. Really beautiful decor and super super cozy. Nice arcade room before you enter a portion of the restaurant with a lot of games in it. Nice big TVs and a beautiful fireplace. Very nice outdoor patio by the water with heat lamps and a big box playing music. Lovely atmosphere!
I had a skinny margarita which was made to perfection. Made my mouth pucker just like I like it! Ashley was our server and at the beginning seemed very blah and never cracked a single smile or had much personality, but she did a full 360 halfway through our visit and was much friendlier and engaging.
He had the fish wings, which were actually very very tasty. Nice and moist on the inside not too much breading and the tartar sauce was perfect. We had never heard of fish wings so thought he’d give it a try and we were pleasantly surprised at the flavor. I ordered the sticky shrimp cocktail, which was Delicious! Wonderful presentation! Looks like something out of a sci-fi lol. The sweet sauce was very tasty and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Could’ve used a little less batter, but otherwise awesome. The downside was the price of my margaritas. $20 bucks a pop! I would’ve only ordered one had I known that. Decent prices on other items though. Otherwise a beautiful place and I recommend.

I was very impressed by the service I received. Ashley is an amazing bartender who is very passionate about her job and excels at creating a relaxing experience for customers. I tried a variety of drinks that instantly transported me to a tropical paradise. Today was the grand opening of the Tiki Tuesdays and Thursdays event and it was everything!

Didn’t get any food but the drinks were beyond amazing. Ashley did a great job at explaining the deals and various drinks at hand. While also giving out suggestions based on our initial picks ! Ask for her !! (Ashley)

We came on an event weekend of the Fun Run car show while it was going on and the drink I got from the bar was perfect along with the service and music that was playing.
They weren’t doing full on dinner so I can’t say anything about that but by the taste and how our appetizers were most likely speaks for everything. They weren’t making dinner until 5pm but were able to make appetizers for my husband and I which were very delicious!! I had the jalapeño poppers and let me just say the texture of the outside and melt from the cheese inside was amazing!!
They are dog friendly which was a BIG PLUS since we had our pug with us. We will definitely come back and recommend!
There’s no pictures to show for the appetizers besides the empty plates because I didn’t think I was going to leave a review but this definitely needed one!
Rain working the bar along with serving us is super friendly and had a great attitude! 🙂

Ashley the bartender at Stillwells Bar in Big Bear Lake is amazing! Not only does she make seriously good mixed cocktails (perfect balance every time), but her personality is what really makes the experience stand out. She’s friendly, welcoming, and keeps the vibe fun without missing a beat behind the bar. You can tell she knows what she’s doing and actually enjoys it. If you’re stopping by Stillwells, definitely grab a drink from Ashley — she’ll take great care of you!

I’d like to start off by saying, not sure why this restaurant is rated so low. Came on a Thursday during line dancing night, Ally is a fun instructor. Friendly staff, heavy pours, and good food. Came on a business trip with 7 other people, got the ribeye steak medium rare, it was cooked just how I asked. Plates came out at just the right times. For a restaurant attached to a hotel, this place is a great option and will probably even be coming back on my own personal travel trips. Some of the other people giving low reviews need to be a little more realistic when it comes to expectations. Great place.

Me and my wife came during the off season for the mountain (July) our entire hotel had about 5 other guests and when we went to dinner, we had the entire restaurant to ourselves. This was a perfect setting. The restaurant is BEAUTIFUL and the food was exceptional. Highly recommend the Bee stung chicken. The bartender Darryl was amazing. A very friendly guy who made us feel like locals immediately. I would HIGHLY recommend this place if you’re ever in town or stay at the Holiday Inn. Absolutely a Gem
