Word on the street
What locals are saying
Stems & Skins is a well-loved Park Circle institution that has built a devoted local following since 2016, earning national recognition (James Beard semifinalist, Food & Wine's 'Most Important Natural Wine Bars') without losing its neighborhood-bar feel. Locals consistently praise the knowledgeable, personable staff, the deep natural and low-intervention wine list, draft cocktails (especially the Negroni), and the European-leaning small plates like tinned seafood and charcuterie. The main gripes are predictable: prices trend high, the dimly lit space can make menus hard to read, and service can slow down noticeably on busy nights.
