About

Bar: Full barBest nights: Fri, Sat

Walk into Steny's Bar & Grill and you'll find a large retro-game room with darts, pinball, and a 22-foot regulation Champion shuffleboard. The bar attracts a diverse mix of drinkers of all races, ages, and professions, though some reviews note it's more of a mixed gay-straight crowd in Walkers Point rather than a dedicated gay bar. Food is American fare like pizza and chicken wings, but ratings suggest quality can be hit-or-miss.

Full bar and outdoor seating are available, plus free WiFi. Happy hour runs daily, and the place stays open late, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. It's casual and can get busy. For a different vibe, nearby Honeypie Cafe offers a more consistent brunch scene.

From the community

I gave a 3 because every time I've been there—which was a lot at one point—the food was always good. But tonight I ordered a pizza and some mozzarella sticks. I ordered takeout, arrived on time, and I live just a short walk away. But when I got to eat, the food was cold and the pizza was terrible; usually it's really good. Maybe a new cook or something, but I was pissed off. I should've gone with my buddy and gotten pizza from somewhere else. Very very unhappy—tonight ruined my evening. I might try the pizza one more time, but if it's like this, I'm going there personally and confronting the cook about this crap. Never ordering again. I'm just bitter now, so two stars.

“mediocre bar food”

It's hard to see why this place is so popular because the bar food is very mediocre. I wouldn't generally recommend eating here. You'd be better off going to a fast food place up the street.

“This is not a gay bar”

This bar is in the LGBTQ+ neighborhood, but it's not a gay bar or restaurant at all. Straight suburbanites who are full of themselves and their motorcycles hang out here. Yuck!

“Upscale Good Bar Food”

Excellent wings, house-made pizza, burgers, and house salads. Affordable but great quality.
