Starr Bar

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 th

Best bar in Bushwick - went this weekend with friends for my birthday and it didn’t disappoint! The friendliest bartenders (there is a guy bartender who was the loveliest- didn’t get his name). Also, good drinks and good music! Will come back!

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 friend and I stopped by after deciding we weren't up for waiting in line to get into another nearby bar. For being slightly divey, the cocktail selection was good and prices were definitely fair for the area. My drink was tastier than expected and the bartender was really pleasant. There was a DJ playing a great selection of older hip hop/r&b/raggae/pop. The crowd was also delightfully quirky and seemed inclusive, living up to the bar's ethos. I'd come back next time I'm on this side of Bushwick.

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.
