by Briana M. on I almost gave this place 5 stars because of how HILARIOUSLY horrible it is. I don't remember much of my time here, but given the fact that I was slightly horrified by the venue - while wasted - says a lot. I'm really not picky when I'm 3 whiskey drinks and 4, or 5 or maybe 6? beers in. In fact, I'll fucking fall in love with a place. But I couldn't get over the cheesiness of this place, and the fact that while smoking outside I was surrounded by the most hilarious groups of Polish people. I heard a girl trying to console a guy (they probably paid $15.00 to go to the UPSTAIRS CLUB) by saying "No, no...they play the Polish music LATER! Really!". I silently congratulated myself for not paying the cover and patronizing the velvety downstairs tackyfest. The DJ, who knows a friend of a friend, was pretty good. I was the grind master for the night, and the STRONG drink and beer I had definitely didn't help my case. I wouldn't be surprised if I had started grinding with the bar, or the couch, or the wall. I don't even know how much the drinks cost. I guess this isn't really a helpful review, but if you LIKE late night Polish music, or the Polish dance scene, or tacky shit...go here! The bouncer was really chill.
by Libbie Katayama on Four of my all-time favorite bar photos were taken in the Star Bar photo booth. The night we went was, dare I say it, cock night, meaning the gents were free and the ladies coughed up a $5 cover charge. An older punk band was on stage which lit my fire cuz I'm that kind of girl, but since I was there with more conservative work friends, I rocked out while they hailed a cab and dragged me off to our next destination. Definitely looking forward to returning here on my next visit to Atlanta!
