by Brian C. on We've been there in the past on a Saturday afternoon, with more positive results, but I wanted to comment on our experience yesterday. My wife and I went with our son and daughter. When getting our shoes and balls, they immediately tried to sell us a "newly available package deal" that would have actually been more expensive. [Perhaps they think no one can do basic math any more?] The music videos showing above the lanes were the stereotypical hip-hop and rap. It was only 6pm when we arrived, and most of the other patrons were families with kids. This music just didn't seem appropriate for that time of day. Then, the pin setting equipment malfunctioned at least half a dozen times. Several times, we needed to call an attendant to resolve the issue. Many times, it only set up eight pins [Again, they think people can't count?] And at no time did they offer to move us to a different lane or discount our games. We chose not to eat there, as I didn't want to give them anymore of my money. I don't foresee going there again; there are better bowling lanes in the area.
by Dana Muncey on Super divey. Bartender was really friendly to my friends and I, even though I'm sure we were obnoxious. 2nd to last stop on the Tara-Crawl. He explained what all the patches were for, which I appreciated in my drunken stupor, though I can't remember now.
by Justin B. on I decided to come out of my OTP shell last night and venture into the part of town known as Little Five Points to hang out at the Star Bar. Of course like most OTP dwellers, I felt a little uncomfortable initially in the area, because I have not yet become accustomed to all of the biker gangs who seem like tattooed vigilantes, sworn to uphold their own version of "street law." Kinda reminds me of that movie 'Sin City.' The interior of the Star Bar looks like it has been there for ages, but I later came to realize that the bar actually replaced the bank that once existed in the same building. That would probably explain why there was a vault inside the place with a thick iron door. Instead of the money that was once inside the vault, there was an Elvis Shrine which perfectly accomplished the probable hidden agenda of creeping me out. The rest of the interior is fairly small. The two bar areas inside the building are adjacent from one another on the left and right sides of the room if your facing the tiny stage. The staff at the star bar are indeed some of the most interesting individuals I have encountered. One of the guys looked like Jim Morrison in the later years of the Doors when he had a full beard and beer gut. The other bartender was also sporting a full mountain man beard, but the hat he was wearing implied that he was going for the coal miner/banjo player look. There were some pretty good bands showcasing there talent last night. The stage that the bands perform on is very small, so don't expect to see any of the guitarists get into his power stance at any point during the performance. Overall, the Star Bar had a unique atmosphere that provided me with a decent amount of entertainment for the night. It is on the outskirts of a shady part of town, but for some reason I felt pretty safe there. Maybe it was the vigilante biker gangs outside, who were scouting the streets like a predator, and eagerly anticipating the opportunity to bring their own brand of "street justice" to any criminals that may dwell in the shadows.
