Okay so yes, it is a sports bar, but I DID check to be sure it wasn't a Brewers game night. Unfortunately I DIDN'T check all other sports and of course...Admirals game...playoff...so very busy and very loud. It's a very upbeat atmosphere and everyone is very happy and respectful toward others. Even though it became standing room only as game time approached and shuttles were running. The noise. Oh goodness. We had to yell across the table to each other. Apparently it's true, the older you get, the less you're able to tolerate higher volumes. But it is definitely a fun-loving crowd and atmosphere. Service was great. We went for the wing special, which starts at 6pm and were there at 5:30. We decided to have appetizers and drinks while we waiting for the wings, but she told us they could start taking orders at 5:30. Woohoo! Still had apps. We both had the Honey BBQ Wings with Bleu Cheese. I had the Quesadilla and my friend had the Loaded Tots. Everything was delicious. The wings are not overly sauced so they weren't exceptionally messy. The way they are cooked, they come out more of glazed finished - which is wonderful. The tots were very loaded, and the quesadilla was really cheesy, with lots of fixins. We each could only finish half our dinners - of course. I LOVES me some leftovers. I am SO frustrated. I just realized the pic of my wings did not save - or I accidentally deleted it. If I think about it before I finish off the leftovers, I'll take a new one and update my post. In the meantime, there is a pic of the quesadilla.

This is my second time here in a 7 years time span. The first time I came, it was my birthday and the bar staff and customer's were very kind to me. I felt so cared for. Today, it hasn't changed at all. Totally wonderful staff. I felt personally cared for from the point of entry. I came in because one of my customers that works here told me about the menu upgrade. They have meatloaf (homemade)some wonderful other additions. Natalie is absolutely amazing but in my experience of trying different restaurants, all of the staff is amazing. I appreciate Natalie for greeting me, throughly explaining everything in detail from the menu, drinks, when my food would be at the table, to how the food is prepared. Tippppp Herrr Everyone. Update, I got to meet the chef. There's no way she's a cook because she has added the homemade meatloaf to the menu. It's a Landmark in her life because it was her dad's recipe who was a chef. I don't eat everyone's meatloaf. I have never tasted anyone's outside of mine and my aunts that I would eat until today. The meatloaf recipe is definitely well deserving of a ten stars. Heck, I would say 20 stars and if you read my review history, you understand that I can be brutally honest about establishments. So understand, that this place is THE BOMB 💣 ON EVERY LEVEL Back for round 3 of Stennys. The service is consistent. I got a veggie pizza this time and have to take an order of meatloaf home because it's to live for. I will drive an hour to come here for excellent service and good, homemade food any day.

We had a friend that recommended this place to us. We were very hesitant based on the reviews. They added a mandatory 18% to our tab. When I asked she said anything over 25$ gets 18%. On the actual bill it said anything over 50$. No one really knows this policy there. It wasn’t a big deal and I would’ve actually tipped at least 20% but it just felt as if they were sneaky about it. It wasn’t on the menu or anywhere else. Food- wings are 10$ for 6 wings. On the menu, there are no prices once again I felt as if they were sneaky. The food was mediocre and not worth the high price. Mac and cheese had good reviews so we tried it and it wasn’t worth it. We actually didn’t even eat it all and it was a small bowl. Apps- we got the pretzel and it was pretty good. Fries- were cold and soggy and not worth it. Atmosphere- they had quite a few TVs and showed quite a few games. We requested the Ohio state game and they put it on a few TVs. Service- greeting was excellent but after that it went down hill. The greeting was probably the best part of the night. The waitress wasn’t too bad. She came by a few times but it wasn’t that great. Overall- I feel as if this place is a good sports bar. The beer selection was great, the atmosphere was great, the space was great and not a lot of waiting. I started this review with a 3 star and went back and forth debating if I should give it a 2 star. and after thinking about it, 2.5 would be more accurate. I feel as if this establishment was misleading, mistrustful and the food was mediocre. Disclaimer** if the menu does say that 18% gratuity is included please let me know and I’ll update this review. I would’ve tipped more than 18% I just didn’t like the fact it was sneaked onto the bill.

We live in Illinois and came to Steny’s before baseball game. The reviews were good so thought we would check it out. Well let me feel you as service industry workers ourselves we were so effing happy this is where we ended up! The bar staff is absolutely amazing, friendly and fun, shout out to Luke and Danny they made this experience even better. The drinks are amazing, Bloodys and Spiked Kombucha were our favorites! The paninis were ridiculously tasty and huge portions and the Spin and Art dip was maybe the best we ever had! Stenys also has a shuttle that picks up and drops off to the baseball games which we had no idea about and it was fabulous and saved money on Uber! We are coming back to Milwaukee just for Stenys!

I enjoyed myself. The people were awesome. The TVs were very clear no distortion. I will continue to come to this location.
