by Antionette Prye on I pretty much always have a good time at this dirty, smoke-filled, alcohol-fueled dive venue. The standup/karaoke combo on Monday nights is particularly interesting, as its known to be the "hardest room" for comics in the city and people doing karaoke afterward get F-in serious. Somehow there is ALWAYS one extremely drunk guy at the Star Bar. Not a "kinda drunk" guy, or a "pretty drunk" guy, but THAT GUY who is somehow still standing for two hours even though he has to stop and lean against something and put his head in his hands every few minutes... you're always waiting for him to vomit, but he never does. Magical. Tip: Don't wear anything you can't easily wash that "Star Bar" smell out of.
by Lauretta Glaser on Don't take the stairs if you don't have to. The elevator is located in front of the restrooms on the bottom floor. You can't get to the roof unless you've got a wristband, so come correct. Drink prices are pretty decent for LA/Hollywood...$64 for 5 drinks is decent. Just remember to tip your bartender. The AC on the 3rd floor works much better than on the bottom floor, so if you're into not sweating your ass off, then head upstairs. We elected not to go for bottle service since the remaining areas were in very high traffic areas and the hostess was very understanding. Remember to tip them too. Oh yeah, I will not be back. Why? Because of the two fights I witnessed there. What is it about SoCal? That yin-yang never happens in NYC. I tip everybody...
by Loretta Camacho on First thing I wanna get cleared the bouncers are HOT!!! The art bar has a clean environment its a club that I repeatedly will go to, there is always parking, no long lines and no fights, Saturday nights are the best the dj plays good music that I like to dance to. I will definetly reccommend this club to all of my friends.

by Nick R. on I attended what was probably the saddest birthday party EVER here a little while back. This club is huge and when you rent this bad boy for your birthday, you better have the friends to fill it. The co-worker who was having his birthday here when I went - didn't. I think watching baby seals get clubbed to death would have been preferable to walking in here (late) and seeing that I was one of 8 other miserable party guests that were the sum of the "party". Everyone had this panicked look that just screamed, "GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!" Sigh - poor guy. Even he knew how bad this was, I'm sure of it. I did my best to get drunk as quickly as possible and make an ass out of myself so I COULD leave with an excuse. In my ramblings, I did love the decor, the music and even the very sexy bartender who I swear kept "adjusting" himself constantly (or maybe that was the tequila). Lessons? -Never have a party in a space that big unless it's a Mexican wedding. -Making drunken passes at a barstool is never a good sign. -Stop giving in to lame party invitations from sketchy co-workers just to get to the free booze.
