Starr Bar

Fantastic space, where both the patrons and staff were cool, and cared about their neighbors and their community. There was a wonderful organization called Freedom Agenda there, celebrating their fifth year in existence, fighting to close Rikers Island and to end mass incarceration and the structural racism driving it. The drinks were reasonably priced, the pool table worked and was it good shape, and when the DJ started spinnin', the place was bouncing with good vibes and music. Everyone seemed welcome and like they were having fun. The art and murals on the wall, including some great quotes, all combined to make this place a spot I will return to again.

My husband had his party at Starr Bar this past Sunday, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience from start to finish. I was there early while he set up, and the staff was so helpful. Making sure the table layout was right, the lights were on point, and the bar was ready to go. Ren, the bartender that night, was incredible. She kept everything flowing smoothly and made sure everyone was taken care of with a smile. The food was SLAPPIN! The fries were fresh and the tacos were flavorful. And my drink was nice, sweet and strong What really stood out to me was the overall atmosphere. Even the regulars who weren’t part of our event were warm, welcoming, and easy to talk to. I ended up having conversations with so many people throughout the night. It felt like one big community. At one point, a couple of people came in causing trouble and trying to steal drinks, and the staff handled it quickly, calmly, and professionally. They didn’t let it affect the energy in the room at all — which just shows how much they care about creating a safe, enjoyable environment. Star Bar is definitely the kind of neighborhood spot Brooklyn needs — friendly people, great energy, and staff that truly go above and beyond. Oh! And if you’re into content creation… they have amazing graffiti art and murals outside. I got great photos!

I've always had a great time at starr bar over the past almost 10 years (!!). I've both hosted and attended events and they are always accomodating and helpful. When I go just to hang out the vibes and music are always great. They're such an important event space that organizers really rely on.

Very chill bar, the mood was mellow & dark & delightful, I could hear the people I was with. The bartender was so sweet, he improvised some delightful cocktails for me, & the prices were very cheap, even with shelf liquor. Highly recommended!

Karaoke was a fun idea, but the host, DJ, really didn’t seem to have things organized. They charge per song, yet DJ kept jumping in to sing multiple songs himself—even with a long list of paying guests still waiting. It’s a great bar with an awesome vibe, but I wouldn’t recommend coming on karaoke night unless the hosting improves. The bartender, though, was absolutely amazing!

I love this place to come with friends and acquaintances, enjoy good music and good drink drinks, the ambience it’s really good calm and easy-going. This is the kind of place that you can find art, music, a little bit of theater, shows and more. Or don’t forget the snacks those are delicious. Thank you guys !!!!!!

I was very disappointed by this place. My friends rented out the back room for an event, so you think they would have cared about us. But it was a nightmare. One bartender let a stranger sign my bill and take my credit card and took no responsibility for it. Another bartender, NICK, was extremely disrespectful and told us if we didn’t like his attitude to get over it and not come back. I hope the owner sees this and realizes keeping customers is more important than holding on to rude, unprofessional, and utterly incompetent staff.
