by Nick U. on This place kinda shocked me at first, but then..the effect wore into disillusionment. I really had no idea where I was going or what to expect when I got here; I was with a bachelor+ette party and we had to wait in the VIP line, outside, by ourselves. Little weird when the VIP line is stuck waiting. Arriving inside, y'get a coupla girls on poles. Very scantily clad, in rather good shape. Goes with the job, I'm sure. Anyway, the leaves are weird. Colors seem amiss. Maybe it's because they have some naked-ish chicks' shadows dancing on the wall. We had one of those lounge-y beds, but we didn't stay on it long. I much would've rather had a chair. Drinks were fine. Music was awful. The DJ showed us just how to trainwreck transitions and gave us lovely examples of scratching without rhythm or reason. The sound was dull and didn't seem to stop, regardless of the lyrics or songs. My friend put it best. To paraphrase, he had been here when it first opened, and claimed it the cheesiest thing he had ever seen. He didn't return until this party, when he remarked in amazement that it had become even cheesier. =P
by Coleman Lockheart on Ugh. It's more about style than substance here. And it tries to be everything to everybody. Went for a couple of work lunches and left disappointed every time. I'm sorry, but no one place should try to do sushi AND pizza. The outdoor patio is not a bad place for drinks though.
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.
