Stillwater Restaurant Will Close, Move To Minneapolis

STILLWATER, MN — Pearl and the Thief, the whiskey and oyster bar that opened back in May at 112 Main Street — the former location of Pub 112 — is leaving Stillwater. The restaurant will relocate to downtown Minneapolis.

"I just want the restaurant closer to the base of operations, because I want to spend more time in the kitchen at Pearl," chef Justin Sutherland told the Pioneer Press.

"This new opportunity will allow us to be in a booming neighborhood with built-in clientele where we can better showcase the restaurant we know and love."

The Pioneer Press says a Latin restaurant will take its place.

Ahead of the grand opening earlier this year, Patch interviewed Joseph Pirri, owner and general manager of Pearl & the Thief. Read that interview here.
