Was there to see a 3 band concert headlined by the Tomb Tones. Show started a little late but they all made up for it with enthusiasm.My sole complaint is that the bar is not ADA compliant and consequently my wheelchair was damaged on the way out.
Love this place, Love playing there, great staff too😎
Great shows , great service, and always a good time. Lots of different people come out, and its the probably the funnest place to hang out after 8 in lil 5 points
Update: They are finally getting the schedules filled and lots of great things going on as usual. Comedy on Monday nights, weekly dance parties and Karaoke, and lots of local and visiting bands.
Great little venue with friendly staff and great sound for concerts. Always have a fun time here when its a Terminus Retrowave show!
This place was awesome. They apparently have a comedy show every Monday night, and the lineup last week was stacked with extremely talented, hilarious comedians. The fact that it was free made it even better. Whiskey Diets only being $5 apiece was also rad. If Im in Atlanta for another Monday night, Im headed to Star Bar without a doubt.
The music was great. It was Goth Night, with the XMTS event. Great crowd, great bar staff, and a great welcoming vibe
Made Mr Kat the best cat ever for time he was here with all of us
A little divey. Be aware that they allow smoking in this bar. Definitely a PBR bar!
We went here for Monday night comedy- hilarious! We were on spring break and I was so relieved to find something to do on a Monday night. There is very limited seating, so either get there super early or wear really comfy shoes, it tends to get crowded by 11 just like any other bar. They have a draft list but no drink specials when we went. Really great atmosphere and totally recommend others to go, no cover charge either :)
One of the best dives in town. Great place to catch a show or catch-up with old friends!
Awesome bartenders, fun shows and stiff drinks. I love Star Bar.Did I mention Pinball, in the Little Vinyl Lounge? Love it!
My husband and I love this place so much we even got married there! We were devastated to learn it will be closing. Say it aint so!!
Absolutely amazing place. Small little hole in the wall, with a smoke room downstairs. They have shows quite often, and because of how small the main room is, its very intimate which is one thing I absolutely love about it. The bar staff is very nice! Definitely will be coming here again soon.
Walked in and the DJ had it so pumped up, all We could do was order some drinks and head STRAIGHT to the Dance Floor! I cant remember the last time We had that much fun in a dance club! I felt like I was 21 years old that night. Definitely a place to visit regularly.
Great diversity...great hosting with keeping audience from being too distracting of the performers. Two bars but each hard to get to tonight, as it was seriously packed. Great local AND touring comics on the rise.The place is a smoking venue, with marginal air handling to help, but for us nonsmokers, some may have a challenge to face. Also, you need to get there early, say 8-ish, to get a good seat, and parking space behind the building (accessible from both streets its cornered on). Across the street is the Vortex club, with a 2-story size white skull with red spiral eyes...hard to miss.
Hands down the best dive in L5P or all the ATL for that matter, in my opinion! Hail! to the new owners and to bringing the Star Bar back to its former glory! A time before the dark era under the ownership of he whos name shall not be spokens tyranny and oppression. Covid 19 aint got nothin on this dude and his vile attempt to drive this fine establishment into the ground. I say let the good times roll and lets put the community back into The Star Community Bar!
Great bands, great bartenders, great atmosphere
Great dive! Super nice people, reasonable prices, long pours, great music. Live bands some nights. Little vinyl lounge downstairs is a little more laid back and has a slightly different vibe. Definitely check it out.
We loved it here! My entire family enjoyed themselves. This was a large group of family/friends of 15 plus. They had live music and were able to accommodate our group too. The food options were a hit with the group too!
I always love kicking it at the star bar! I dig hanging with my punk and skin friends. Great atmosphere and awesome people. What more could you want?
How could I not give Star Bar five stars? It is an Atlanta icon! Live local music, inexpensive beers and liquor with an eclectic group of patrons. They even have an Elvis room filled with memorabilia. The drinks are not expensive and the music is usually a blast. Things you may want to know: always, always bring your ID, there are cover charges sometimes but not always, they do NOT serve food or snacks, some of the live shows are smoking shows, so please check if you are repelled by smoke. Its a fun spot. I would definitely recommend Star Bar.
Mr. Cat was a superlative host and bartender. He was attentive without being overbearing and was very receptive to consensual affection.
My favorite Tuesday comedy open mic. Cold, cold beer, properly made cocktails and perfect shots make the whole experience very comfortable. The staff is great and its just an all round cozy joint.
This is a fun, little dive bar with great sound for live shows. It was wonderful, as a wheelchair user, not to have anyone or anything obstructing my view of the concert. Always a plus not to have to stare at butts during an entire show!
Mr and Mrs Jackson are 2 of the best bartenders in Atlanta. I enjoy the camaraderie everytime I go here.
Great place to grab a beer or see a show (when shows are happening again!). The owners are great and the staff is friendly too! Perfect little dive bar/venue in ATL!
Great Parking, Great Open Mic night...UNTIL...the door greeter asked you for I.D. while blowing smoke in your face...You then catch a GREAT WALL of smoke through the Smokers Patio in order to get into the open mic night room..Now..the window is open and guess where the out door patio smoke goes..Yep..into the Non Smoking open mic room...When I finally did get a chance to perform ( after the sound guy rudely jumped ahead of my numbered slot ) I was so beat up by the smoke I could hardly breath...My eyes watered, and I smelled like barbecue for a week afterwards.Thanks but NO THANKS...The host was COOL...so Ill give then 3 stars.
Star bar is an interesting beast. this is local iconic night spot in little five points. its a dimly lit bar in what once upon a long while ago was a bank.. the vault upstairs has been turned into a shrine of elvis memorabilia!! and the main floor has two bars and a stage that hosts live music and comedy shows nightly.! Check it out!
Open mic comedy is fantastic. I dont mind a dive bar but the smoke is intolerable. Why make the place offensive to 90% of the public to please a small minority of hardcore smokers?
Bars in Atlanta that you can smoke inside are a dying breed, but thank goodness for Star Bar. Not only is there indoor smoking, but the bar is extremely reasonable when it comes to pricing. Its quite possible to get drunk there for $10-$15 total in drinks. I love going to Star Bar on Mondays to catch their weekly stand-up comedy show which has yet to disappoint. While Little 5 Points and Atlanta in general seems to constantly be morphing into something different than how I remembered it 10 years ago, Star Bar remains one of the few constants in Atlanta night life.
Myself n a few buddies went to check this place out. We enjoyed the basement bar and back porch for an enchanting cig. We got beers for five bucks and heard some pretty cool bands play upstairs. The bartenders were actually really cool and hooked me up with a pbr hat!!!!! I will definitely go back mostly for the music and friendly people.
One of the places on my short list of places in Atlanta you have to visit at least once. This place really defies description. Go on a Monday night to see stand up comedy, or go any given night for a show. Make your own show, if you dare. Fun place, for sure.
The Best Dive in Little FiveIts all that and more!!!Free comedy on Mondays make it a must visit destination.The Elvis shrine is just great! Reminds me of visiting Graceland.Be kind, courteous, respect the rules and staff, and youll have a great time!!!!
Some of the best dance tunes Ive heard in a long time! Locals, wasted college students, older people, younger people, everyone was mixing it up on the dancefloor. One of the few places I found in Atlanta that opens up rather than closes at 9pm.
Star bar is exactly what it tries to be, a small smokey neighborhood bar with tons of quality live entertainment. So yeah, as long as youre not an asthmatic or smoke sensitive, you will have a good time, especially with there pricing. No food though, eat before hand.
On of my faves for a Saturday night! Such unique atmosphere and people where everyone is there to just enjoy music and have a nice time. Love it!
Eh - my sister, my hubby, and I visited in Oct 2017 (hubby and I down from PA for a week). Lucky us, because it so happened to be the night before an annual Bluegrass festival in the Atlanta area. There were some really GREAT Bluegrass bands on stage, and these boys were gittin DOWN!!! with their banjos, fiddles, harmonica, etc. Thank God they were there, or wed probably have taken a look inside the place and walked back out (it was around 9 pm and the place was pretty dead).I wanted a Heineken beer, but they were out. Ok, how about a Yuengling? Nope - out. Sheesh! I think I settled for a lousy Bud draft. Typical neighborhood bar, it seemed. There were some shady and/or weird characters, it was pretty dark inside, and had that lingering spilled beer odor. Smoking permitted. Did I tell you that we made our own fun and that the bands rocked?! Woo hoo!!! 🎸🎻💙🎶🎹🎵
Music was distorted from being too loud in a small venue. People who wear contacts beware this place is a nightmare with the smoke messing with your lenses. You wreak like old cigar and cigarette smoke from practically the moment you walk in, if youre into that then this is the place for you .
I watched two local bands Playboth really goodLast parade and Stoplight Roseshad a great evening meeting locals at the bar very friendly and highly recommendI ended up talking with both bands , enjoyed the evening.
My friends and I had a great night on Tuesday with the fun DJ playing lots of retro hits. Mixed crowd, young and old, no judgements just drinking and dancing and having a blast.
If you are alive and well then each and every Monday night you should be at Star Bar in Little Five Points for the longest running live comedy circuit in the A-T-L. That is if your not afraid of a tons of f-bombs, cigarette smoke in your hair and beards. The doors open at 8 p.m. and the bar closes at 3 in the morning. The crowd is lead and comics are introduced by Atlanta native Rotknee—who has been hosting this late night open mic for ten years. I have been twice and left in tears of laughter from performers who have told it like it is about bad boyfriends, microwave pizza, weight issues and sex.P.S. Did I mention it’s FREE?
Beau??!!!..cephus? This dogll hunt and the people seems nice and all. I seen some good music and had some cold drinks. Only bad thing is that a lady I met there gave me the gonerhea good thing is that I married her so aint gotta worry bout gonerhea no more.
This a hip, fun spot to hang out, dance & drink in L5P.
Great Comedy on Monday nights.Drinks were good. Parking was free.Came to see Da Amazon Queen- she is hilarious!
Jackson is a true facilitator of drunkenness!!
Couldnt even get in, required a 10$ cover. This is not an issue, but in the area there is no way to get cash back if you dont have a Bank Of America account. You would have to walk all the way to Edgewood and go to the Kroger to get cash back. In my case, I am entirely cashless/cardless. No one nearby accepts tap-to-pay+cashback, and so I had to just call an Uber home. Maybe Ill be back if I find they are more modernized.
Great atmosphere, cheap drinks, dingy in the beat of ways. Comedy every Monday night is my favorite. Free show, I just pay for my drinks.
Great little place now that all the great Rock Clubs in Atlanta either bit the dust or are located in scary gentrified neighborhoods surrounded by faceless condos & office building. somehow miraculously L5P has not lost its Soul.
Went on a Saturday and it was rock night with a lot of older bikers and such. I used to come here awhile ago. Im not sure what happened, but this place has a completely different vibe, music, & crowd.
I had been here before but this time I came for valentines & I loved it. Super chill spot. You have to try the peach princess if your into the fruitiness.
This place is AWESOME. Cheap, strong drinks, consistently great bands, and a FREE comedy night that blows all other comedy events out of the water, and to top it off a shrine to Elvis...
This music staple for Atlanta has it all. You name the genre youll find it here. Do you like dancing? Look no further. Stand up comedy? They got that too.
Great little bar in little 5 points! Open Mic nights on Monday nights. What a great way to get rid of the Monday grumps!
Never had a bad time here. You can chill upstairs or downstairs. Latin night has the best music!
Such fun! Great owners, staff and vibe. A true L5P tradition. Glad to have it back
You guys are rockin! Thanks for being great hosts the other night. 1st time visiting your venue and nothing could have made my experience better. Kick ass night!
My home away from home. Ive spent more hours here than some of the employees. I even had my wedding reception here. Go see a band, I promise its not that damn scary a place.
Love the Star Bar!! Great staff and killer bands... Whats not to love??? I saw Rocket 77 the night I was there.....soooo good!
Me and my hubby really enjoyed the comedy show.... Jus know next time be there when doors open to get a seat.... Or byoc(bring your own chair)#datenight
Great place to see local and regional bands. Bar food is ok/average, always very smokey, but always a great time.
Discrimination just for being Hispanic, asking for drinks or food the guy never put attention for make my order for food or drinks.
We went for Monday night comedy. The show was good but there was so much smoke that we couldnt stay until the end.
Make sure to stop by the Elvis vault
Some things dont need to change....youre welcome
This place has it all. Funky beats some nights and amatuer comedy on Mondays. I love the Star Bar!
Long-standing, divey neighborhood bar and music venue, with an upscale bar hidden downstairs, around the back. Live music most nights, comedy and karaoke.
Always one of my favorites!!
I met some beautiful people and got to hear some of the best music of all time. Had a blast
My very favorite neighborhood bar and dive bar
Live music here is so fun!! The space and stage is the perfect size to really enjoy the music.
Fun little venue but why are there places you can still smoke inside?
Love the atmosphere of this place. Very welcoming.
Absolutely best bar in the city! Amazing people and atmosphere!
So I pay an absurd cover to come watch performers play two hours late and I’m forced to overpay for drinks? Garbage bar.
If youve not been inside the vault, the picture booth or the LVL downstairs... DO IT!Always a blast.
Awesome scene here, bands are usually kick-ass. Smoking bar - my favorite.
Great atmosphere! The music was great, but the drinks were kind of pricey.
Legendary. A must visit before you are too old to enjoy it...
Always a good time on a Monday night .. free to get in ...see Rodney and whoever he brings up ...
Wed night. Live band $3 beers. No food. Nice place
Best place to see live bands in Atlanta, hands down. Always a blast!
Place was super cool! Very laid back and great live music!
As Cousin Dan put it: this place is a dusty bar.
Favorite bar in Atlanta. Great live music, great drink prices, amazing people.
Great place for shows.
Its always a great day at the Star bar.
Everything about this place is fantastic. Cheap drinks, great shows, Elvis shrine.
Never hard to get a drink, live music, stand-up comedy and you can smoke inside. What more could anyone want.
This is the classic hang out. Always a blast!
Dont get there often...but is a cool place
Easy. No hassel. Friendly people. Cheap drinks.
Fun place with cheap drinks, comedy night and dance parties. What more could you ask for!

Great people working the bar and amazing music !
Different crowd but the music was great. Will be going back.
Cool little rock and roll tinged bar in Five Points that sells some potent drinks.
My favorite dive bar in the A. Bartenders are awesome!
Love the fact that new music plays here almost every night of the week, for little to nothing!
Best bar in L5P. Happy hours on Friday...it is the place to be.
Bartenders are awesome. Fun place for fun times
Star Bar is THE quintessential dive in the A. If ya dont know, now ya know.

Great drinks & free comedy night on monday nights
I used the last percent of my phone battery to post about how dope the DJ on Tuesday is.
Great Bar. Great Music. Staff Works their butt off.
Geat place to see live music. Go downstairs to collect your thoughts if its too loud.

2022-04-28Disclaimer: First Timer. First Impressions- Give you the scoop so you wont look so new-time-yI did prior research, noting that I was free during the week and wanted to try a new spot. When I read that karaoke comes on Wednesday nights, I decide to try Star Bar. Firstly, I enjoyed the ease of parking. In a high congested area, I feel less stressed knowing I will have a place to park. The parking lot is on an decline and wraps around the back. There is an entrance near the back. I entered through there but truly, youre supposed to enter at the front on Moreland Ave. I didnt know at the time because there is no signage stating otherwise. Upon entering, it gives the appeal of a grungy dive bar, which is cool with me because I enjoy the old hard rock. Theres a bar on the lower level where I believe the regulars go, because the bartender was fully engaged in conversation and didnt acknowledge me. I didnt care because I was more focused on trying to see where the karaoke was and to try and get comfortable.I played one play of Pinball, which they have 4 machines. Its actually a great addition because it cost a quarter and its loud. There is seating in the cut near the pinball machines. They had a projector with an eccentric movie playing. Also on the bottom level theres a bathroom for all genders to use, I enjoyed that they have even THAT so. It was clean.I approached the bartender and let her know it was my first here. It got kind of awkward because apparently I wasnt supposed to enter through the back door ..She was very chill and told me if I wanted karaoke its upstairs and I may have to visit the security guard to check for ID. She checked anyway but I guess the upstairs staff needed to know too.. I was fine with that. Going upstairs, they had another bar and seating, more open. No games. The bartenders were very attentive. The karaoke was slowly steady. It wasnt extremely live like another spot I went to during the weekday, but it was enough.I enjoyed a Deep Eddys vodka Grapefruit (dont particularly like grapefruit, wish they had Lemon), and two wells vodka. 20 dollar total. Not bad for the area. No food that I know of. I ate prior.Overall, I would come back with some friends for Karaoke Wednesdays or to play some pinball with a few drinks. I like how I had a few places to hide since it was during the week and not crowded at all. Im sure it could get crowded on days where they is live music.Thank you for not making it awkward.

2022-05-22If you are looking for the the best rock n roll dive in Atlanta, look no further than Star Community Bar. This place has it all, complete with awesome bands, cool staff, pinball machines, a photo booth, and an Elvis Vault. What is the Elvis Vault, you may ask? It is a vault in the corner (cuz they used to be a bank like a zillion years ago) filled with authentic memorable that belonged to The King!!!!! Check this place out! You will not regret it!!!!

2021-09-22The bouncer demanded to see my vaccine card. I told him I didnt have it. As I was waking away he said Thanks for not killing me. Been going there for over a decade. WAS one of my favorite bars
