Comments of Star Bar

Star Bar has moved on so much from its Planet Hollywood days. Food, drinks and deco improved so much. Pizzas are especially good here but the snacks and small dishes not as much. Popcorn chicken, fish n chips and salt n pepper calamari, bread n dips were average but "I'll Be Back" for the pizzas and beers.

By far, one of the best pubs I have been to in a long time. This place has it all! Plenty of pool tables, amazing food, multiple bars, a huge sports screen, a comedy store, a weird wax model display with Terminator and I think a naked Stallone.....? And good cheap drinks!
Spread out over three levels they can facilitate for a lot of people, and the high ceilings upstairs give an open and chilled feel.
I can't truly express how much I enjoyed this place. Will definitely be returning!

I really like this place. You can play, dance ans eat. There are nice stuff.
y. s.
I cant count how many times i came here n grab sirloin steak For sure it more than 30 times Like half years ago they give salad as well but now they offer only chips that i dont care cuz salad sauce wasn’t my type Anyways i know this isn’t perfect cook cuz sometimes medium rare is not medium rare,but i..just love this. Love here has lot of seats
Love taste of bbq sauce
Love clean toilet
I wish they dont remove this on menu for good
P. R.
I lost count on how may times we go here,but we love eating here. We order the $12.50 steak and mash, we order the add on chicken wings and pasta special or the $15 steak from Wednesday’s. For the price it’s worth it. The chefs cooks it well and the steaks are tender and usually a lot better then some restaurants I’ve been too.
I don’t think you can get a better steak for that price in the city.
We’ve eaten mostly everything else on the menu and it’s been good too. But we definitely like the steaks.
Great looking place. Chefs are great. We are regulars here, we some times eat here 3x a week. Overall great place for anyone wanting a affordable meal and a few drinks with friends.
J. C.
All fine meal:) I chose $12.50 meals for lunch and I added a creamy mushroom sauce which was $3. I ordered steak among 3 choices, steak, pasta and fish and chips. For side, I had french fries and an alternative was mashed potato. I enjoyed medium-rare cooked steak which was tender and juicy. French fries were good too, and I recommend you to order french fries rather than mashed potato bcz it was quite creamy for me. You can choose not to order extra sauce since there are free sauces like seed mustard.
A. K. Y. T.
Great pub in the centre that does Waygu Steak for $15 every Wednesdays and Fridays. Decent size piece of meat but only comes with chips. Very well cooked. Cute little self service process to collect condiments and your meal.
M. L. W.
$10.50 steak cook to perfection. The cuts is so tender and juicy. The down side is we were there around 530 and there is already after crowd. Waited for 45min for our steak. Go earlier than the crowds or just go after dinner peak.
J. M. R.
This place is great. The staff are friendly. The service is good. The cocktails 🍹 are amazing! The vibe, layout, music, decor.. Love it.

Came to the Star Bar on a Saturday night around 7 pm. As I was with a few friends, we decided to go upstairs to the restaurant area. The menu had a good range of classic choices, such as the Caesar Salad (which is what I got). When ready to order, you are required to go to the bar, yet pick up your food at the restaurant itself. Not that it was a huge issue.
There is light background music until 9:30 pm to which the volume turns up and your voices become drowned out. This is due to the upstairs area being turned into a nightclub. Some chairs and tables are removed to make way for an open dance floor.
Overall, it was a great experience, and I can see myself returning in the near future.
N. N.
Great location for a dinner before movies, or drinks. Good food and quite spacious (multiple floors). My favourite is smoked BBQ lamb ribs with sweet potatoes.
S. K. S.
Very cool place.. Only make sure you wear proper shoes after 10 pm... And also free entry... What else you want... 0
C. R. C.
$10 pizza
Priced as per quality
Wouldn’t complain
Can be better
Loving the place tho
D. A. B.
Very enjoyable nightclub / bar
r. t.
Cheap and good but salad put too much vinegar
E. F.
The new specials across the week are amazing, all day long cheap meals, good value
A. W.
Good food. Cheap price. Great price per value. Not so good for service.
G. K.
nice place to be with chilled beer and dj music ( thrusday night) the music is noisy may be due to low quality of speakers. well Dj is not that much energetic but can crossfade the music in quite interesting way.
wide Range of drinks, friendly staff, busy at night time, got snooker, pools to play, has dance bar and many more..
don't forget to bring your ID as there are gaurds to check them!!!
drink responsibly 😊
M. R.
Its a cool bar, with a nice environment, some pool tables and different areas. But there are some problems that for me are really bad. For example in a busy night, there is always a weird smell.
L. K.
Very good price, love the drinks here and chilling out with friends. Great service also... Only the queue can be a bit too long on busy nights...
E. S.
It was nice to have a nice atmosphere and a lot of space. Wagyu steak is especially delicious. Event prices vary from day to day, so check it out.
M. L.
I think these steak is cheaper than other steak house. But the meat quality is soso. If you go to this steak bar you eat wagyu steak.
W. Z.
Haven't been in this place for years
I like the new renovation. Feels lot more spacious. Good place to have a chat up with friends. Drinks not too expensive.
P. S.
Great place and people. Good section for party and small gathering.
V. K. (.
Wonderful, spacious and well lit! One of the few good bars around here... Enjoy your night away!
A. N.
Nice improvement in customer service and food quality. Looks like the new owners have really looked after this place. the best part was my steak was not serviced on my chips.
J. C.
Average pub food - nothing particularly noteworthy. Staff were professional.
k. k.
A bit pricy for lunch around of area but nice food and environment.
M. C.
Great food and great quality. Star Bar is a real gem in the city. The pictures speak for themselves really!
A. B.
Good place for cheap (3$) pool and beer in CBD. Cool music + lot of screens with sport events everywhere
M. V.
Downstairs is okay. They relocated the long bar on the ground floor to the back making it more spacious.
They seriously need to update their speakers...it was cracking and had high pitched screeching. Not pleasant at all.
Upstairs was a massive make over. Very impressed with the design.
Haven't tried any of the food so can't comment but they do have their own kitchen now and plenty of seating area.
They now host comedy nights there as well - so a very good addition.
If they update their speakers system, I would have given them 5 stars. Seriously, it was that bad: minus 2 stars bad.
P. H.
Great spot for a mid week lunch steak special. Beautifully cooked and even better with a side of wings. Plenty of seating and music at just the right level to have a conversation. Don't go expecting a fine dining experience. This is good honest pub food in a casual dining space.
J. Y.
Very nice atmosphere with some of the coolest cocktails you can order around. In particular this blue one (sorry I forgot what it's called).
A. G.
It's a really good bar. There you can find 3 levels. Each level has a different environment it's depends what do you really like. For example, if you want just eating or drinking some beer, you can go to level 3. But if you want to listening music you can go at the other 2 levels. Really it's depends what do you want.
The Bar is really nice, the staff is really friendly, some times the security people are a little bit rude.
The food there is really good and the prices are adequate.
M. V.
A place to meet with friends before you decide where you actually want to go. The drinks are crazily overpriced just like at any bar around the lockout areas. Upstairs area looks fancy with a dancer floor. The sound system will BLAST some trashy pop tunes and if you are on your 5-6 drink you might be tempted to dance. The downstairs area with pool tables is more suitable if you want to have drinks and talk with people.
C. B.
Amazing experience. Went here to celebrate Nepali New Year with a group of friends and all of us are really glad that we chose this place over the others. The bar service was fast and the music was perfect. It wasn't too crowded nor too quiet. The environment was just fun fun fun.
J. P. R.
The parties here are really fun. I had a few problems with the bar staff ( who at a few times were really rude and impatient). Prices are okay, sound system is great, venue is spacious and the crowd is from all over the world. Good place for a fun night out .
F. N.
$12.50 meals are beast. Staff are kind and prompt. The decor is beautiful and a comfy chair isn't hard to find. Highly recommend going for happy hour. The pool tables are reasonable and the toilets are pretty.
T. C.
Good spot to start your night out. Decent prices and great, central location. Wouldn't call it a high end place but its not gross or anything like that. Only problem I've had is once the lemonade in the hose wasn't mixed and came in my drink as straight syrup which made me sick. But then the staff came to check on me straight away so that was nice.
K. J.
Nice cool bar to chill out . It is always free and cheap drinks . The chips and pizza are good too for the price . The dance floor opens by 9 or 10 and it spectacular . Enough space for a terrible dancer like me to dance too . There are 3 floors . The ground/ basement floor has pool tables . The first floor is alright , seems drinks are cheaper there and large are for smokers . The top floor has dance floor with DJs and is open till late night. So far had good experience with bouncers compared to some other bars in Sydney . Overall it is a nice place to unwind after a hectic day at work . Sometimes there is a stand-up comedy in the top floor but never tried it
A. B.
I often go to Star Bar to have lunch with my work mates. I find the location super convenient, the restaurant is spacious, and the food is delicious.
I don't think it's expensive for what it offers. There are some lunch specials, and the plates are BIG.
As a vegetarian, I love the spicy lentils burger. Yummy!
A. S.
The first time I was in Star Bar is today. My friend recommended me this place. I had just ordered a beer jug and was thinking of enjoying the moment with my girl. Before I could take a sip, the fire alarms went off. We had to evacuate. There was a fire in the next door kebab place. I had to leave my beer. Looked like a decent place but never got to enjoy. I miss my beer.
J. H.
Not the flashiest of establishments but one that never disappoints. With on the mark prices it really attracts a good mix of clientele. With 3 levels of gallivanting to do you are never bored. Snooker downstairs, bar in the middle and food/bar upstairs that later turns into a dancefloor. Good atmosphere with a down to earth customer base. Some tourists which are always out for a good time. Come casual with a positive attitude for a good night.
S. S.
Nice and affordable, 2min walk from both the train station and a Mac Donald's! It also has lots of pool tables. The atmosphere is great, with nice bartenders and great people, however even though at times the music is not the best (to my personal taste) this place is worth a visit.
B. j.
So delicious steak
Good price
I want to go again 🤭
My steak is medium-rare 🧐
P. G.
Basement is smelly. Ground floor is noisy and crowded. First floor does not have pool tables. Food is good. Beer is average. Pool tables take $3 to play. Crowd is OK... Its one of the cheaper bars. You get what you pay for I guess.
C. M.
Great place for a drink and dancing on a weekend night. The music was good and they have a spacious dance floor, not too long of a wait at the bar either.
It has a pretty cool decor as well with fancy chairs and lights.
R. W.
Star bar is fun, but you need to go here with an understanding that it's not really a classy place. The main attraction here is cheap drinks. The crowd is mostly backpackers and students, with occasionally some old locals mixed in. It's fun but be aware what you're in for.
L. D.
Food's always of good quality. Good menu options and fast service. Reasonably priced particularly their lunch specials. They whip up a mean cocktail as well. I would give my firstborn child for theur sour apple martini recipe - it's the stuff dreams are made of. 😍
L. Y.
I loved it. The atmosphere and the food was great and cheap. I got a Parmie and it was not bad. Quite good really. After dinner it gets rather crowded so we did not stay. Great place to have dinner before a movie straight across the road.
V. S.
Nothing special but good pub food. :)
For the cubbing, you can enjoy the music as the DJ is good and well mixing. But guys in the club... oh well... kinda interrupting your lovely Friday night out with girls.
J. C.
I think it's all about expectations . Star bar is a great venue if you like cheap drinks a mixed crowd and a lot of different opportunities to meet people. It always has most of the sports games on at least one screen downstairs and there's a big bar with a DJ and dance floor upstairs. I like that people are not pretentious and most are just out for a good time it's definitely not the Ivy crowd. There's a lot of younger people here because it's cheap and if you go for the house drinks between 7 p.m. and midnight it's $5 vodka or bourbon or scotch with a mixer and that's pretty hard to beat in the middle of Sydney with some sort of atmosphere. Definitely not a date place but a fun start to a night out especially for a group
D. N.
We had a lovely Saturday night session at Star Bar. The staff were lovely and friendly all night. Security was very friendly which is a huge difference maker. The footy was on the big screen, the beer was affordable and lots of laughs were had. Amazing stuff
I. S.
One of the best venues in the city over 3 floors. The food is always great and reasonably priced with great indoor seating and unique decor from the days it was Planet Hollywood. Also has pool tables on the lower ground floor and great bar atmosphere and night club after hours. I give it a consistent 9/10.
S. P.
i hope that restaurant have more various cocktail.
I wish i can get margarita.
l.
We had my husbands 30th birthday at Star Bar. All staff from events to management to kitchen and bar staff were very friendly, down to earth and easy to deal with. Nothing was too hard and we were really taken care of the whole night with our bar tab. Was even able to bring our own decorations and cake. Will definitely be back again!
S. D.
The Star Bar is a massive venue. I hosted my event of about 15 people and the Bar Manager was extremely helpful to us!
The bar food is lovely! The ambience is real romantic too!
His is a must visit bar for a lovely night with friends or a special one.
L. C.
This is a fairly decent place to go during the beginning of the evening for pre-drinks and a bit of a dance. The drinks are reasonably priced and the the staff are friendly. The music playing are the newest hits around and the general ambience of the place gets you in the mood for the rest of the night.
C. P.
I can't really say that I visit the Star Bar every week, but I do come here often. I've always been satisfied with the service here before, but something just happened tonight. When I was supposed to order a drink, I waited in the queue in front of the bar for like 10 minutes, but the bartender just ignored me and served other customers instead. Though I don't know the exact reason why she did that, I hope it's not because I'm an Asian but not a white girl.
A. M.
Great food, and great drinks. Love the calm atmosphere, very chilled, and love the lighting. Atmosphere is great. Staff were polite, and I will be back with a group of friends. Thanks Star Bar
D. I.
I went to the comedy club here. Some of the comedians were great, others...may need to work on their craft.... Drinks here was cool (upstairs) liked the cocktails and many people were working at the bar so not much of a line up.
C. C.
Decent drinks, pricier food but multiple experiences.
The drinks here are actually pretty cheap for a bar but would not recommend buying food here which can be pricier than just walking outside and going to the nearest fast food chain. There are 3 levels in the bar:
- The top level which has the dance floor, loud music and a restaurant-like area (this is where the food is served but also where the bar closes pretty early).
- Ground floor where the main bar is located, the atm and a normal bar area
- Lower ground floor which has the main toilets, pool tables and is a little quieter than the other two floors.
P. L.
An alright place to start the night. Decent pricing of drinks and the atmosphere is alright but I wouldn't see myself spending too long in here. Don't be surprised to see male bar staff to ignore you to serve a female behind you.
F. H.
It's a good place to get drinks before you head somewhere else.
There is also good pool tables and a big dance floor. DJ's are usually pretty average but the crowd usually gets into it enough for it to be fun
J. L.
Great city venue. Big place good mix of people. Good music if you want to boogie but lots of places to chill and talk. A rare find in Sydney's struggling night life
അ.
The ambience is mediocre its basically a huge dance hall..so not the best ambience to have drinks and snacks. However the buffalo wings were tasty..beer on tap was very bland but the service was ok.
Good for team outings if you dont have a big budget.
B. M.
Good overall bar and big dancefloor upstairs and many pool tables available.
Smoking area available without leaving and good prices.
Music could be more diverse.
R. F.
I was there Last night, with my private function, my Birthday at the level 1, So let me told you that. Nice Space For a Private Function, nice service About canapes, Nice Manager look After the function .Everything well Done Guy's. My First experience there and I want really say, thank you to everyone. I can wait another time to go there and do the party!
M. T.
Food is OK; pretty standard pub fare. Atmosphere is like eating in a big empty barn. Service is ... well, I'm sure service exists, just not for the benefit of customers.
L. L.
Booked the downstairs venue for a buck's night. Wasn't disappointed. The supervisor on shift, Joey, was friendly and quick to service. We were running late, but he had it all under control.
We got priority service at the bar and were not thirsty the whole night!
As an unintentional bonus, he loaned us an AUX cord to connect to the sound system. It connected our phone to the whole lower floor. We gotta be the DJ's for the night. Absolutely tops.
J. I.
I went to the Star Bar on Saturday and loved it! They spend much good electronic music! It has various environments! A happy into account, not worth it arrived in time! But surely it back! Already called all my friends to return it! The tequila paid $ 8.50, found through expensive! But I think part q! The bathrooms are very clean! I think I loved all of it!
J. E.
Great place to have a few drinks before you hit your main destination. However Star Bar could be the destination to spend the night. Cheap drinks, pool tables, nice people and most importantly, a nice dance floor with good music.
C. L.
Young crowd, good atmosphere. Feels like a non pretentious ivy. There are three different levels with distinctly different vibes. If you want to chat or party it's a surprisingly good place to go. They even still have some of the old props from the dead planet Hollywood that they replaced.
A. Y.
Really good price for lunch and during a week day.
T. W.
This place is great if you are looking for relatively cheap drinks and a place to dance your pants off. The music is great with live DJs and the dance floor is large enough that you don't have to rub up on anyone. Not the best place to sit and have a conversation on a Friday or Saturday night.
D. H.
Brutally honest review of Star Bar. High prices and average customer service. Would not recommend for a clubbing experience due to some of the regular whackos that do go there with perverse intent. Although great for a quick stopover for casual drinks and a smoke.
J. D.
ridiculously good happy hour prices. Street bar is ok, with pool tables and lounging areas. Upstairs is a bit more upscale. Nice enough, no reason no to go there!
B. S.
One of the good-old-days clubs where the entry is still free of charge. It used to be pretty rough with police parking a few cars outside every Friday and Saturday night but after lockouts it's much more civilised. Probably the only place that saw positive changes due to lockouts. There are pool tables downstairs and dance floor and seats upstairs. Live DJ plays club music. There are also 2 bars, one main on the left hand side when you walk up the stairs and second one smaller on the right hand side.
S. G.
I good place to hang out with friends and just relax. Very reasonably prices food and drinks with usually good service. Downstairs are the pool tables, ground floor is the dance floor and upstairs is the bar. Pretty much for any type of person.
K. S.
Good spacious relaxing place to have a cheap meal and a drink while watching some sports on the big screen. Come at lunch for their $10.95 lunch special. Not overly crowded either.
V. V.
Watered down drinks on happy hour. Just get wine or any beer. Good music every saturday and free entry. I like this establishment cause its roomy upstairs you wont feel suffocated compare to other places.
A. H.
Nice place to grab a drink and bar food. Steak is quite good and reasonably priced. Very spacious but bit dark. Frequented by uni students mostly.
B. U.
It's fun but it's not really a classy place.
There's too much of the young crowd.
Food is good though and drinks are okay.
The atmosphere is alright too but I wouldn't see myself spending too long in here.
J. A.
Not a bad venue and well located with a pretty diverse and competitively priced food menu. The only flaw is the service, with the bar staff generally on a spectrum from close-to-non-english speaking to obnoxious (or both) with no in between. If you are willing to look past that (which I am for the most part) then it is probably worth a crack. Large spacious venue upstairs almost always somewhere to sit provided your not there on a Friday or Saturday. That said, there are plenty of other venues in the vicinity that while not as large are also not as busy and offer better service, aesthetic, crowd, food and drinks. Examples that come to mind are the Smoking Panda and The Cidery.
B. u.
Been there many times, preety cheap drinks, preety good dancing place overall good crpud and service. Generally very good for the groups. One of the best of its business in sydney in my opinion. Have got some variety of good food, some olaying area for pool, smoking zones. For dancing it got great music and djs
Definitely recommend it
A. S.
The crowds a bit young and can be immature ie binge drinking and juvinile nonsense. Bistro is alright and drinks are a fair price. Over all good place after work but not for a night out
G. P.
Your experience may be different from mine, but I found the patrons quite friendly, the staff are silent and (watchful), the DJ is quite loud, the Music is soo.... 2015, and you will enjoy this place for whatever it is.
the Beer could have been chill-er though. 🍺
S. R.
Great place for an evening party and drinks. The place gets really cramped during a party so they could make more room inside. Staff are very friendly and ambience is very much likeable.
S. M.
Had the wagyu steak and it wasn't bad. I recommend to get on Wednesday and Friday when they have a $15 special.
The atmosphere is a bit gloomy and the tables and chairs were sticky for some reason 😕
K. C.
Cheap deals. The steak is great and at a reasonable price. Great atmosphere if you and your mates want to catch up and watch a game of footy. The waiting line is not too busy either. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
P. C.
Newly renovated with a new menu, I was impressed when I dropped in here for lunch on a Tuesday.
The total change from the old star bar does it a huge favour and once this new image is talked about on the street, the mid week lunch trade will be quite busy.
I am still not really interested in heading there for a drink on Friday night but that may change too.
M. H.
Star Bar is normally the place I go on a night out for partying, so I was really surprised when I went there and had one of their $10 steaks on a weekday, damn it was really good quality and cooked perfectly. Would suggest giving it a go
M. R.
Great place for hanging out with your mates. Plenty of pool tables if you are bored. 2 levels establishment, so there are plenty of seating and tables available. Bourbon and Coke for only $5. Plenty of foods selection available
M. S.
This is the place where I spent most of my uni life. I just love this place. Great location, great ambience. Good food. Unfortunately the price went up significantly. It used to be much cheaper. Still a really good place to spend the weekend evenings!
G. O.
The best bar in sydney! I think I have had about 8 birthday celebration there and hope to have many more. Refurbishment looks awesome and drinks are reasonably priced. Never close!
N. S. C.
It's very nice place and there is a good atmosphere.
The food is good and drinks too!!
I recommend it for an easy evening with friends.
K. P. J.
good because it's not expensive.
D. H. (.
Has decently priced drinks, jugs and plus you can play pool, can I say anymore. Overall it's a great place to start off your city adventure.
D. T.
In a city that is quickly becoming way too crowded during the lunch hour, it's nice to find a haven that serves reasonably-priced lunches in a quiet and airy atmosphere.
(Of late though, we've stopped coming here for lunch and dinner because the music they play is SO LOUD, and one of the main reasons we came here every day was because it was the only place you could sit and talk with friends)
Edit #2 I didn't realise that StarBar is a Maloney hotel. I live across the road from Maloney, and stopped going there several years ago because the music in the daytime is WAY TOO LOUD.
D. K.
The place has got a space for whatever you feel like. The 2 bottom floors are a place to just relax and play pool while the 3rd floor is great to dance at the nightclub
M. C.
came here to watch an open mike comedy show. $25 entry with a non-alcoholic drink voucher. atmosphere was fun and the place is nicely set out for a quiet one after work, or relaxed drinks with mates with lots of seating downstairs only problem was that there was an awful smell in the upstairs lounge as well as downstairs at the bar. enough security to keep out idiots too
j. j.
its the bar and you can have drinks at low price
B. A.
Not a bad place to have a short break... a drink and pool
C. T.
Inconsistent with their drinks quality. Rents out their pool table rooms frequently without warning. $2 pool tables, not bad. Food is so so for the price.
A. F.
I went here the other night before going to the movies because I had heard such great things about the new menu and renovations from my colleagues.
I had the arrancini and then the goats cheese and hazelnut warm salad, I don't believe that salad should be a meal but holy heck. This ignited a love for goats cheese and I can't stop telling my friends.
Really great looking bar, they have put in alot of thought re-designing it. Doesn't feel like a weird vampire dungeon like it did before. Very open and quite sophisticated. My friend had the steak and said it was great, a favourite pub meal with a twist. Decently priced at around the $15 to $25 mark for a meal and $6 or so for a schooner of 150 lashes was also very decent.
Will definitely go back!
F. A.
Amazing place. There is a pub and you can go with your friends have fun. Beautiful people and drinks are not expensive. Music is very nice there. When I went I enjoyed a lot.
S. H. &. b.
Nice weekday lunch deal , Good offer for happy hour ,
J. P.
Friendly staff and nice décor.
Food standard pub grub. They let themselves down a little with "veg" being 4 or 5 small beans and tiny pieces of broccoli and cauli, but otherwise ok.
They need to kill off that "great Aussie customer service come and get your food yourself" buzzer system.... surely for $125 they can bring it to you (like lockout lawas, this seems to be particularly a Sydney thing).
We happened to be there when the rugby game was on (which is fine), but the volume was so bloody loud we had to yell to talk to each other and that kind of killed it so we left after requests to turn it to a reasonable level fell on deaf ears (pun intended).
C. L.
Sometimes they have some small exhibition there
A. O.
We were here a few times before, but not anymore.
The first thing I couldn't shake off was the smell - there is a horrid smell from the carpet in the eating area.
The bar tender was friendly enough, unlike the food. With the group of mates that I went with, we all ordered steaks, and all were cooked poorly. Mediums were rare at best, and well-dones were terribly overcooked.
J. D.
All round its a decent venue with reasonably priced food and a lively atmosphere as people get a few drinks under their belts. The music leaves a lot to be desired but the DJ tends to get better with frequent trips to the bar. Go here to get drunk and dance.
K. L.
Cheap food - even cheaper decor! the place looks like a bad remake of planet hollywood inside but on a budget of about $10! Provided us with a good laugh! When they have offers on it can be quiet good value but the staff are a bit arsey and it feels a bit like a school canteen. The meals are basic but cheap and cheerful.
A. C.
Great atmosphere, well priced dinner and drinks. The comedy show was alright... it got funnier the more we drank so we were thankful for the well priced and delicious cocktails. 😉
M. C. V.
I had a very nice birthday night there and I fall in love for Pricilia’s Cocktails!!!! If you want to try the best Mojito in town ask for her she will bring you the Belgium touch!
S. A. M.
Good Music, Good Food, Good Dance Floor, Good Drink Deals, can play pool too.
I have been going there for years and have always enjoyed the venue and people.
=)
E. D.
Place is trashy, full of dudes, and the rent-a-cops at the door are overbearing. But it's a cheap place to drink with mates an play pool. It's ok as long as you don't mind drinking out of plastic cups.
A. G.
Good place to hangout with friends and colleagues after work. Not the most polished place around but the staff are very good and helpful. Also has sports and other entertainment on the big screen which is another plus.
S. M.
Awesome place to hang out after work. Cheap drinks and pool table. I had a great time. Then the restaurant upstairs turned I to a dance floor after 2130hrs
M. B.
Great place to catch up with friends for a drink, easy commute to train station and reasonable pricing. Food not so great but overall it’s good.
J. D.
Has a bunch of pool tables which is cool, but bar staff are pretty inattentive... or maybe that's just me. Also home of the creeps so watch out ladies.
A. G.
Music has improved a lot than before.
Huge dance floor. Expensive alcohol.
Great place to enjoy Fri/Sat nights
E. B.
this is a good bar if you want a cheap night out with a bunch of friends. Staff are lovely and of a quick service. People are friendly here and the bouncers are also nice.
A.
Cheap value meals. Food came in quite fast. Pizza and sweet potato wedges were really good only the risotto was too wet but overall nice food for the price.
D. L.
Went here last Saturday, the music was great and so was the environment! The place has been laid out really good and the DJ was awesome! Great place to meet people and bring friends.
B. M.
Cheap beer and drinks, always full of nice people to talk to. They have pool tables and different areas depending on what mood you are into.
B. P.
We rocked up late for a beer and a steak and they were very accommodating. I almost got in a fight here. Some really really drunk guy started calling me names, I thought he was joking so I laughed at him, he just got angry. I walked away, good times good times.
J. “. /. J. D.
Service was great , staff were wonderful. I've always enjoyed myself when I've attended the star. Thank you !!! I'm looking forward to my next visit.
m. a.
Daily specials, steak on the small side, but cooked well, chip same. Would like an option of a salad/coleslaw. Why are the salad bowls now mainly consisting of rocket?? Bring back tomatoes, cucumber, carrots.....
T. D.
With kids? Definitely recommend! On the first floor. There's huuuuuge place to have some foods and beverages. When you are exhausted to find right place for lunch in the Sydney CBD. It's the best choice.
M. B.
Highest quality food at the lowest prices.
I take my my family here at least once a month
Service is amazing and the staff are very helpful.
Cocktails are to die for.
M. X.
During the renovation, Star Bar wasn't the best place to chill after a long day. After all the construction finished, it still wasn't the cheapest or most atmospheric place to be be on a Friday night. There are plenty of places with cheaper drinks or better food. It is however, located a stone's throw from Town Hall station, which makes the Friday night queues all the less bearable.
N. S.
One of the best hot wings in town I believe. Not much of beer options, but a great place for an evening out with friends.
Planning to be back soon.
K. R.
Went to celebrate New Year. You can find a lot of Nepalese people. Bar service was good, reasonably priced and great atmosphere.
J. C.
Lamb ribs are the best in town (served with sweet potato chips). Reasonably priced. Interior looks like a night club, which it turns into after dinner.
a. r.
It's not too bad to have a few drinks here (cheap), and just walking in from Townhall..... Food available with affordable price (sometimes the food deals are really cheap), so you have happy tummy and happy throat......
Y. L.
We had farewell lunch with colleagues, portions are huge, good quality is OK as for pub.
Also place easy to access from Town Hall on rainy day.
U. S.
The place is fine. You get to drink beer at a low price and also play pool. The staffs are nice and the environment is good.
M. K.
Good hybrid of a bar and club, pool tables number 5 so you'll get a game and later the upstairs is good for dancing.
G. B.
Good cheap drinks and a nice upper level atmosphere. Not somewhere to stay the night but fine for a drink or two before hitting the night club
M. B.
Great place for a meal and drinks, special days are offering different meal deals. Weekdays are great for beer jugs at low prices.
K. s.
Fantastic bar , best value drinks , great night life on Friday/Saturday Music from 10-till late . Security are of top quality . Would highly recommend for casual drinks with mates !
A. K.
Our usual Friday evening hangout. They offer great food and have some vegetarian options as well. The space is ample and you get enough room even on Friday evenings.
D. S. (.
Plenty of room to move around, plenty of bar staff on and drink prices are quite reasonable for the city. Can't go wrong here!
A. D.
At the end of a big night in the city I ended up back here at the main bar having vodka sodas.
I found that this isn't anywhere near the best place I've been to but I didn't regret it and I got to meet a bunch of really interesting people.
J. C.
This place is litt. Go there for pre's Friday night. Super cheap. Enjoy! Pool, so much space and nice people. Smoking is sooo popular there
P. T. N.
Nice place to hangout with friends. How ever the choice of music isn’t interesting to me and the bathroom is quite dirty!
c. b.
Good place to have time with mates. The music tho sort of repeats during the night but had a great night. No issues whatsoever
E. F.
Awesome night out, everyone has to try the massive cocktail bowls... meant to be 3 or 4 sharing but easily can be downed by 2.
S. B.
Mediocre atmosphere and staff were not welcoming. Glasses for water also had a smell like they were not cleaned properly
L.
Nice for the work day pub lunch. Standard pub menu and great quality. Just a little strange that there are no windows inside .
A. P.
Always fun sinking a few schooners and playing some pool. Alcohol prices are quite reasonable too. Not a bad place to hang out with mates
I.
Good food here. Some staff here are ok. But I dealt with one surly bar waitress down (with dark complexion) on level one. This was about quarter to six on October 7.
M. N.
Usually when we go there in the evening we play some pool. The food is good, and it usually gets packed on the weekends and becomes a legit nightclub.
J. S.
Good little bar. Drinks are cheap and the food isn't too bad. Does get pretty busy over the weekends
L. R. A.
(5 stars to be posted 👎🏼)
The worst place ever... The security guys abuse and they're rude. honestly I don't recommend this place. Get in its just luck and all depends of their mood, not because you wear sneakers or not. Don't waste your time going there and don't pay to get that bad quality of service.
S. L.
Friday 8pm I went and there was a really buzzing vibe. Drinks are very cheap in comparison to other bars around the city which was fab. Will definitely go back with friends
C. C.
Great place to have a drink, lively, pool tables with more quiet areas. Music isn't too loud so you can actually converse with people
F. K.
They renovated a while ago and it is actually amazing what they've done with it. It feels a lot less seedy than before. Drinks are still cheap, without the seediness before. I'm. Impressed.
L. T.
great place for pre drinks! $4.50 mixed spirits but make sure you ask which level has the special running as there are 2 levels!
J. M. P.
Hey Star Bar.
When are you actually open its 2021 already.
Surly you must have some update information now right?
M.
Great happy hour special and the food is overall decent. Great place for cheap drinks.
R.
Super affordable, decent venue. Mixed crowd. Re-entry was difficult once the line built up but I guess that is to be expected.
H. M.
Nice place n good food... not many beer choices but overall good experience i had on a wednesday.. yet to try a weekend.
Z. D.
Cheap drinks at the bar down stairs and when you go upstairs the venue becomes massive. Nice vibes upstairs but you pay a premium on drinks
G. Q.
It's very specious. Relaxing, great food and atmosphere. Friday is busy good with live music and DJ. Great for work lunch too.
B.
Great prices all day for beers, wine and spirits in the street level bar, heaps of pool tables. Clean amenities.
S. A.

s. r.
It's was awesome, nice DJ
F. A. S.
Quite nice place, but little too dark with extra loud music everywhere on premises.
Literally have to shout when talking to a friend.
Pathetic security, very bad attitude.
J. H.
Very nice selection of beers and cocktails. Two storeys with very nice setup. Unfortunately the security are quite rude and drinks are very expensive.
I.
Amazing place for pre drinks.
Drinks are $4.90 All night however they used yo be $3.5 which was the best
S. H. (.
The place itself is good. Food and drinks are pretty good as well, but in my opinion the music needs to improve a little bit.
S. M.
I have been coming this place since 2003. Great place to hang around with friends. Drinks are reasonable price.
G. C.

D. T. b.
Cheap beer.. haven't tried the food (its not my cup of tea) but thats also cheap.. they also have djs and the place draws a big croud on fri and sat nights. Worth a look.
K.
I had the steak special for lunch and was not dissapointed. I'll be going back for that steak again. Asked for it rare and it came out as requested.
M. V. K.
I like it..! But little bit expensive. Some times i observed very less crowd.
But we can enjoy 1 to 2hrs on friday and saturdays..!

live music and a drink in the CBD. easy-going vibe.
J. R.
star bar is the most magical place in sydney, every visit is exquisite. never change xxx

Great environment but the staff could lighten up abit, still a nice place to go to relax and have a couple of drinks and great food there too
H. _.
Good cheap pub food! Great pizza and I would have been happy paying $35 for the $23 300gram scotch fillet I had!
P. N.
Cheap drinks before 12, music is pretty good with a decent variety between edm and rnb.
A. M.
They also have great T-bone steak. If you are around Town Hall, this is one of the must visit place.
F. B.
The downstairs bar has a $10 eftpos minimum, whilst the upstairs doesn't. Eftpos is the cost of doing business. Take from that what you will.
I. J.
Great place for a drink and a dance if you don't want something fancy, but just looking for a dingy night out
A.
Every time I Go, the music is always good. Good alcohol. Great vibes after I'm off my face.

M. R.
Its great for some cheap drinks but the vibes are a bit creepy.

Go upstairs. Turn around and walk to the back of the bar. You will see a naked celebrity. His expression is what this bar does to you......
A. J.
Best place to come for its cheap drinks as well as cheap pub food that actually tastes good.
B. U.
My mates and I religiously do pres here before 12 - cheap drinks come in clutch! Highly recommend, its a temple

$9 jugs of XXXX and $2 games of pool, but the downstairs area smelled like 12 month old damp carpet, bad enough that I could just not quite get accustomed to it.
T. S.
The atmosphere is great, but the food is fairly ordinary. Come here to drink and be merry.
A. K.
great steak reasonable prices , relaxing athmosphere, good for groups or a one on one dinners . recommended
