Stella's: A Cocktail Dive

One of the best local dive bars you can find. Bartender was excellect, as well as Peaches Apple Pie! Had my first shake game, my first 16oz Schlitz in a can, and my first and last shot of Jeppson's Malort. A favorite liquor for some, first introduced in the 1930's in Chicago.

I came here for the first time on Halloween. I really enjoyed the all female bartenders. They gave us a drink that we order consistently when coming to Stella’s and gave us phenomenal service. When we went today 11/15 the bartender made it a point to identify that we did not leave a credit card tip, although we had left a cash one. We were the only black individuals in the establishmentI really enjoyed this bar from the first time I arrived, but the energy of the male bartender on Wednesday 11/15 was off putting and made me not ever want to return to the establishment.

I gave up drinking over two years ago, so bear that in mind as I review this cocktail dive bar. Even so, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the mocktails that were made for me. Being a cocktail bar, Stella's has everything you could hope for to make a good specialty mocktail, and I saw that they even have a non-alcoholic gin if you're looking for a gin drink without the buzz. They also have a good selection of NA beers, but I was so spoiled by the mocktail treatment, I didn't get that far. I visited Stella's on a late Saturday afternoon and there was a chill, day drinking, deep conversation, grooving to good music vibe in the bar that anyone could enjoy with or without alcohol. I felt instantly welcomed and really enjoyed the dark ambiance and overall cozy atmosphere of the bar. Overall, I was very impressed with the feel of the bar. It has a certain funky appeal, yet still remains classic. They have a cute little patio with seating out back and a little reading nook tucked away in the back of the bar. I found this to be an with interesting place with intelligent bar staff and patrons, and even though it's a dimly lit dive bar, it's a clean one and not dimly lit to hide its grossness like a lot of dive bars. The bar staff kept things clean, and was masked and covid conscious. I will definitely be visiting Stella's again!

The diviest of all dives. This is a terrific place to catch drinks before a Bucks game! The drinks are affordable and the atmosphere is wonderfully kitschy. Make memories with friends and misplace some time in this neighborhood classic.

This place is great! Atmosphere is STELLAr, and Allie was the kindest and overall best bartender ever!!
