Great place to eat and hang out. The seitan bbq sandwich is amazing!
The General Manager, Charles was nice and inviting. He was making Infused Gin with Rosemary and blueberry, which was ironically the drink I chose. Super cool and let me smell the beauty of the infusion. Thanks for making me feel welcome! First bar in Bushwick. I may be back sooner than I thought💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Great vibes. Theres a performance area in the back and they also have open mics on Mondays. The bar doesnt carry a great selection of beers but the cocktails are great.
Nice bar, my friends performed on their stage, very good vibes
First time playing a show here. Not too sure about the pay to play aspect but we also did a no cover show we hosted and currated....The sound here on stage for bands isnt the best but the crowd said it was gtg. Over all grear dribks and great vibes. If youre gonna see a show here works better if its scaled down.The piano was in tune!Kingkweenmusic out 🤙🏾
The local is great, bartender is amazing, plant-based food was filling and tasty, just what you need with some good drinks.One of the owners/ managers was very comfortable/dictative about his views on the virus/vaccinations and what they thought was right or wrong (kind of complaining). Everyones entitled to their opinion but both as a customer and business owner myself, it was unexpected and I found it to be unprofessional and unappealing
A perfect microcosm of Bushwicks gentrification over the past few decades, Starr Bar is a veritable lightening rod for the BK hipper-than-thou set. Cool and cozy old school tavern vibe, plus the folks who sublet the back of their space make the most incredible vegan BBQ you will ever taste. Not a typo. Vinnie Barbarino might be turning over in his grave, but like it or not, sustainable gastropub delights are the new Brooklyn, boyee.
Charlie is the best! My co workers and I made it in time for happy hour. It did not disappoint. The music is a whole vibe and their vegan meals are delish! Vax card required at the bar!
Great local watering hole! The staff is friendly and the space is relaxing. There are several beers on tap, and the tamales are a nice option. The raja tamale was awesome!
Terrible drinks but GREAT food. Hated going with the three stars since the food was so good but the cocktails were def. Tough to stomach (ton of ice, no liquor and just sugar).
It doesnt get any better than Starr Bar. Kind and wonderful, social justice minded folks coupled with a beautiful space for all occasion. Drop in for a $5 happy hour draft and stay for the beautiful community.
Nice cocktail menu, vegan fair is available, saw a comedy show and had a great time. Great spot for a date.
Love this place and their new cocktails are amazing!
When there to watch the final circus act *Coughs* I mean presidential debate.The bartender Joe was really nice and friendly. Happy hour drinks were cheap and made very well. the crowd was friendly and hip. I will definitely go back to this place and take a few friends with me :) Awesome place and the food is even better..
Dope spot to chill in Brooklyn. Has a room for performances. Came once for a comedy show and was thoroughly entertained. Free quality entertainment and drinks were good. Ordered a fee different drinks and was very satisfied. Definitely a bar I would recommend, check out website for upcoming shows and performances.
The food was amazing! The new chef was a great idea!!!! I would definitely go back to dine and maybe even for the night life. I do think they could use a waiter, that was the only thing that could have been better. Orherwise, food was GREAT, service was great, drinks were great!
Monks Smokehouseat Starr BarIve spoken to the Monks proprietor10x in the past few years andhes always a bit hostile,unfriendly in tone and attitude.Honeybees has superior burntends and quantity of choices butMonks wins in freshness and overall consistent quality and texture, serious about their fancy rubs, smoke and techniques.Come early in the evening for a comfortable, funky, quiet, airy vibe.Two casual meals, fries and sides50 bucks
Great drinks, cool ambiance, great location.
It is vegan. They open after 5. I went there twice and had the salad its pretty good. Both times something was missing shiitake bacon and bbq chickpeas. Which for $15 is not what you want to hear. They are not doing that many mushroom dishes, they have a lot of soy in dressings and tempeh. BTW king oyster mushrooms my favorite at H-Mart are $2.50 per 3. I make all the same recipes+ just sad to see people over charge.
Cute bar. Definitely a spot to throw parties or have a fun get together. They are socially conscious and all about social justice. If you are a DJ, bring additional sound in order to fill the room. Awesome dancefloor too!!!
I went for an event. The space was cool and you can tell it is big even though it was packed. But the staff does not know how to handle large crowds. I never got my food. I knew it was crowded so I wanted to be patient but after 45min of never getting an order of fries, i decided to follow up with the bartender. She handed me some fries from the back part of the bar where a line of ordered food was just sitting, which it had been for about 45 minutes from when I went to the restroom and first noticed the food. So apparently they just gave up on giving anyone their food without even attempting. As the staff got overwhelmed, the experience of gettng food and drinks just kept getting worse so I just left the event all together. Hungry and disappointed
The waitress is super cool, her name is Micah. The reason why I remember is because that’s my middle name but it’s spelled differently. I had a yuca burger and it was yummy. When here on a first date and the vibe was pretty dope. They have live performance and when there’s not a live performance there’s music playing in the background. Lovely place to just go and chill. Prices are decent and the vibe is dope.
We celebrated new years in this place and we LOOOVED it!! Too much fun! Place is really cool, DJ was amazing! And really good beers. Definitely well be back soon.
Hip bar with craft beer on draft and interesting specialty cocktails, has a back room which hosts all sorts of live events and performances, mostly for progressive left leaning causes. A good place to grab a beer and start a revolution.
Such a chill vibe! I went there for an open mic and had a great time there. The bartender was pretty dope. Will definitely go back even though I live all the way up in the Bronx.
What a great little spot. Just randomly picked this spot to hang with a few friends and I was not disappointed! The bartender/waitress was bubbly, funny and very accommodating. You really cant beat the Happy Hour 5-7. $5 drafts, $7 margaritasThe food though....OMG!!! Their cauliflower (Cauli Pau) is seriously some of the best Ive ever had. 1 person had the Starr Burger and another had the Cauliflower burger. No complaints there, but the starr of the night was definitely the appetizers. We tried them all (cauliflower, potato croquettes and panipuri puffs) and they were amazing. Great music, cool vibes. This bar is a must visit if youre in the area.Restrooms: 1 in the bar area. 2 in the performance space area. Clean and good sized.
Not a good venue for comedy. Took a while to get a beer. The bar vibes were nice though
Came here for an election night watch party for Juliq Salazar. Im glad they support political engagement and the progressive causes.I was thrown off by their lack of mainstream beers (no Guinness, etc.) Instead they have a strong selection of craft / local beers. The bartender recommended a craft alternative to the mainstream beer I wanted.
First time here was for their New Years Eve party. Great music, good vibes. Their bartenders are very interesting people as well. Overall, a great time.
Here to shoot a Music Video for a new artist. But its a cool place to hang out, listen to live music and meet people. Didnt order food or drink because its closed to the public. Were filming. But I will return.
And awesome bar and club that not only hosts dope parties & great drinks but also hosts social justice events and funds the Mayday Space. A community center for Bushwick and surrounding communities. I cant reccomend a bar around there more than Starr Bar. Have a good time and keep the local, home grown community alive!
I visited Starr Bar for a friend of a friends birthday. It might have been an off night but the DJ was playing a hack set. I can dance to anything with a beat but the set was a janky mess. The drinks were decently priced but there wasnt anything that made me want to come back.
From the outside it looks just like another bar but once inside you realize it has a lot of luxury too it. Live performance space, booth style seating and a decent menu to boot.
The drinks are pretty expensive for what they are but the space seems interesting and creative. I would definitely come back again to watch a performance! Might grab a beer instead of a cocktail.
Awesome place. Great service!
Its got a dance floor, couple of booths, good size bar, but the atmosphere was pretty good if this is your crowd. Inside is a bit outdated though. The bartenders are nice and quick, and the liquor selection for drinks is good.
The boy was awesome they got good drinks and they got a lot to offer
New construction of a wall separating the bar from the event space makes the place more functional. The only downside is when the workers need to walk through with food. It just incites anxiety... 😅
I was there last night for the Vibras NYC: Noche de los Santos event, so Im giving it four stars solely because I really enjoyed that. The bar itself was okay. The girl behind the bar was not friendly and had an attitude any time we asked a question. Asked for a jack/coke and it was definitely overpoured. Asked for a Chinga la Migra as the menu said it was a sweet drink and it has got to be the most bitter drink Ive ever had. Either there was definitely an ingredient missing from the drink which is why it was so bitter or the ingredients used were just old and rancid. Wouldnt go back for the drinks but would go back for another event like that one.
Love the bar, its a great venue. Especially when Whorelarious is showing. Its an amazing show. Comedy, burlesque, drag. A great place to be!
Fun! Lovely bartenders & awesome entertainment! The drinks are cheap too! Cant beat such a fun spot so close to home.
Cool niche spot in Bushwick with great cocktails, solid food, and a nice venue in the back room. They give back to the community in numerous ways - it’s exactly the type of local business that deserves your support.
This place is awesome, the music is great, the ambiance is chill, & the bartender are super cool & pretty. Definitely a great place to go for a good night with friends.
I love the live music here, very relaxed great drinks too.Its like stepping back in time.
Shocking how one can let a man die on the sidewalk.A middle aged man was passing out outside the bar, fainted from possible diabetic conditions. He asked to call an ambulance and while we waited for it, the man asked for water and I rushed to the bar to get it. The waitress first lied that they had no plastic containers, I had to point containers and cups at her. When I came back after 5min for another cup, she saw me and while she knew why I was here for, went on to serve another customer, then called me sweetie while pouring the cup, and didnt offer any additional help. This is when a human should get dismissed for actually doing executing their job scope blindly. Remember Eichmanns excuse? At any scale a human life is a human life.This place is only suited for these hipsters I saw before me, passing by that fainted man who asked for an ambulance and water.Lets always try to help each other, as one community!
Came here with some friends. A nice chill bar with solid drinks, good food, and a great sound system with full dance floor. Will be back again!
Fun dancing! Its nice that the dance floor is in a separate room from the bar area. So if you want to get away and take a break from the loud music
Good vibes and decent food selection. I attend the monthly event Queer Abstract that focuses on POC in the arts. Always amazing energy and a packed house.
Good sized dance floor while still enough seating and long bar with lots of drinks. Enough people on fri night so that it feels lively but can still dance
Great drinks. Great people. Great music. Nice to have a spot in the neighborhood that is genuinely friendly, acknowledges history while being open to the future.
They call it starr bar. Its the Barr on starr. Near or far. Dont drive a car. Capitalism is FUBAR.
By far my favorite bar. Its very welcoming and everyone is super friendly. They also host awesome events.
Simply amazing, energizing, and one of a kind experience! I saw the large screening of Ava DuVernays film 13th at the Starr Bar which had a great turnout. The discussions afterward was thought provoking and healthy. This is definitely a fast growing networking community space. Makes me proud to be a Brooklynite.
Friendly staff, inexpensive drinks, diverse programming, low key.
Nice bar with space in the back for events. Great bar tenders, cocktails are $12, so average for the area.
Had an amazing time with my siblings and also the comedy club portion of it was simply amazing.
Very good food, great staff. Definitely would recommend this place
Great atmosphere and better food. Barbecue seitan sandwich was awesome.
Yes, great sound is where it starts, spacious and elegant architecture.. DJs are killing it, and staff is generous and warm. And spicy means spicy!
Attended the Cinediaspora Film Festival there and it was a nice venue. The drinks were good and they played music afterwards.
Good beer selection, reasonably priced, event/show area in the back. Cool, alternative, cozy place!
Wonderful atmosphere, great staff, delicious cocktails and quality alcohol.
Cool atmosphere love the fact that there are many places to take a seat while still having room to walk around plus there is more than one bathroom
Great staff. The drinks were strong and fairly priced. I love that they help contribute to the community.
This burger is so @mazing dont know whats in this fries but they are so delicious 🙋 off course Im coming back for more great food ....:):):):)):):):) Chef Maria youre the best
Food is awesome. One bartender talks super fast but she smart and cute, deadly combo, sooo she can get away with it.
Nice place, good music!
Great bar, great margarita’s and great atmosphere!Come there for Happy Hours and you will not regret!
We love this bar so much it is our venue choice for our spoken word experience coming monthly.
Burger was dry and small, beer was fairly priced but overall value was not worth it
Went for my birthday. Went to see my son dj. Good time, cant complain. Need better drink selection tho.
Great music, nice selection of food an drinks. Katie (bartender) was pleasance and engaging.
Its too loud to have a conversation here and the drinks leave a really weird aftertaste in you mouth. Everyone I went with complained about the aftertaste despite ordering different drinks.
Really Cool vibe here. Great spot for live music and DJd music on certain nights. Very cool Bushwick community hangout.
Good food, great drinks, live music, and activist supporting endeavors make this an amazing place to be!
Cheap drinks and friendly bar staff. Cool show venue in the back.
Good vibes😂, awesome bartenders who are friendly and sever drinks that are usually mixed to perfection.
Nice bar, I got to listen to local talent while having a good drink.
Amazingly friendly staff and a great selection - one of the only places in the area with Downeast Cider on tap!
Crowded bar with good service, and a good theater space Im back.
Nice bartenders, stupid good vegan bbq
Might be the best music I had in NYC and definitely the best fries
Love the atmosphere music and the Bartenders. Micah is very pleasant.
Reasonable prices and a big back room thats great for events of a lefty nature.
Enjoyed a Sci-fi/fantasy film festival in the back room. The bar was divey!
