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...
Read moreRecently went to Starr Bar for the first time with my partner. We were insanely enamored with the general atmosphere, the liberal and activist orientation, and the well-curated events happening. It was so beyond sad and disappointing when we received one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had from one of the bartenders. It was like atrocious and we thought it might just be us but he was awful to other customers as well upon observation which is such a shame. Normally I would not give a bar another chance after an experience that bad but loved everything else and thought that perhaps there was just one rotten egg in the carton and came back with a slew of friends. The next experience was much better. I didn't order the drinks so can't speak to the service but it was a different bartender. What I am most impressed with is the variety of events (they had friend speed dating which is unique and so cute/important), the queer friendliness of the place, and was bummed to miss their recent book launch of the memoir "Pretty." Will definitely be back again and hope I never run into that...
Read moreWent to an event here for a friend this past Saturday and it was terrible. Where do I even begin. First thing one of the bartenders (don’t know his name) however a white tall gay male had the rudest F attitude and said “Gurl bye” to my friend after he assumed she didn’t have a tab open. Once it was established she did indeed have a tab open we find out they actually lost her card by giving it to another patron….which led us down a rabbit hole. I don’t know if Carey is the manager however he did his best to rectify the situation and I appreciate that. On the other hand the bartender who was giving attitude continued to make unnecessary comments and it was clear he liked to argue with females but that energy changed once myself and other male friends approached the situation. He did apologize after we told him he needs to stop going back and forth with a woman especially over a mistake his establishment made. Would I go back absolutely not. On the other hand the employee Carey who actually helped was the only professional...
