Stella

Quick Takes:
* unique, sophisticated lounge atmosphere
* great date spot

This place is fairly new and not very well known, but I'm really hoping these guys make it in this town! This place has a great location on Holly but is just on the edge downtown, which is probably why it's a lesser-known spot at the moment. This place has a really classy, sophisticated vibe - a really great spot to get away from college kids if you are wanting to get out on the weekend! They have a few different rooms - one with plush seating and a great spot to mingle, and then another with more tables and a pool table.

They have some really great cocktails but drinks aren't cheap, which makes it a tough sell for my friends who are mostly beyond college but are still young and poor... we love the vibe of this place but don't get in often enough, so it's on my list to try for happy hours or a special occasion.

Stella is a good place to get away from the college crowd and sit down and talk. They have live music and display local art.  They have some unique drinks that can take a while to make because the bartenders are obviously meticulous about their craft.  I hope they get a CC machine soon.  A little getaway!

Nice setting with lots of character but success will be a struggle. Great live music which wasn't too loud and still allowed for conversation. Downside was the expensive drinks, self serve bar and cash only. Not exactly customer centric. Hopefully a waitress and CCard machine is in their future.
