So glad to have this little dive bar in Raleigh. Expect to get treated like a regular, even if you aren't, with cutesy drinks and a comfortable atmosphere. Their beer selection is good and they have drinks with glitter in them. GLITTER DRINKS! And, not to brag, but I was having a particularly bad day and was handed a tiny resin axolotl. Glitter drinks, sea creatures, chalkboard, cow couch, and an Alan Jackson cut out (not the one that was in Kmart in the 90s). Come hang out and see what's up. Good times await.
Literally my new favorite bar in the world, not just Raleigh! It fills one of Raleigh’s most lacking niches of being a space that feels divey without feeling like it’s just old and crusty… a dive bar for girls if you will!
Safe space for a lot of Night Rider / Wicked Witch former community people. Not exactly queer forward but very queer friendly. Karaoke one day? 🤞
There is NO ONE like Jen. I only come in on days she's working. She's so fun to hang with, makes incredible drinks, keeps everything organized, and never lets a guest go unattended. Could not ask for a better bartender
Must Visit! This locally owned dive truly represents Raleigh. Atmosphere is incredible and the drinks are cute, fun, and fantastic!
Stella's on West is my new favorite spot! The bartenders, were amazing—They kept my glass full all night and made sure I was having a great time. Lena, the owner, came over to personally welcome me, which made the experience feel even more special. The atmosphere here is warm and inviting, and it’s clear they truly care about their customers. I’ll definitely be coming back and telling everyone I know about this fantastic place! Highly recommend if you're looking for a memorable night out.
We happen to come across this vat and loved it! Quaint, great vibes and service! Definitely will be back!!!
