Sadly one star was the lowest I could give or I would have given no stars. USE EXTREME CAUTION!!! We stopped by thinking it was a restaurant. We realized they were not yet open and me being 24 weeks pregnant had to go to the bathroom and couldn't make it much longer. So we went to the next establishment and came out moments later to find my car on a tow truck. Personal touch recovery told me that star bar had called and requested my car to be towed. All this being at 3pm while on vacation from Missouri. Horrible experience and $80 later I got my car back. read more

I had a great time till I got double billed on my Debit card and can not get anyone to return a call or respond to email. Neat bar, just wondering how many people the've cheated from out of town like my self. I will repost if I here any more. Preston read more

The draft beer was warm and under-served 10 oz plastic cup. Shots also under-served in a plastic cup, with the amount being about a 4th of of a regular shot. It was literally a little tiny splash of liquor at 5 bucks a pop. Furthermore, the Jim Beam that I was served was tampered with and/or watered down, as it tasted weak and lacked bite. The bartender deliberately short-changed me for the purposes of making his own tip. This was in the hopes that I wouldn't notice. I was told $10 for the 2 shots I purchased, which I paid for with a $20 bill. I was given a 5 and four 1s as change. When I confronted the bartender about this, he acknowledged that I was given incorrect change and apologized, but failed to take necessary corrective action. Several minutes later, I explicitly asked for my correct change which I was then given, after of which the bar tender refused my friend and I further service and ignored us until we walked out. Lastly, in casual conversation with the bar tender, he informed us that the owner of Star Bar also owns a restaurant in downtown Denver and serves his patrons microwave dinners. Based on this experience and information, I wouldn't recommend Star Bar or any other business operated by this owner. read more

This place is pretty straight forward and I appreciate that. Good beer for a good price and its not too busy. No food which is a bummer. I'm only there for one drink if I go in because its usually on the way to something else. Nice staff is a plus. read more

I have never written a review before and this place was so rude that I felt I had to. Last night we went out for my friends 29th birthday. Her license also expired that day. They would not serve her or let her in. This was at 8 PM when there was maybe 20 people there majority of which were males. I would have understood if they said ok but you need to leave by midnight when your id expires or something rational like that but they didn't. They said we have the right to not serve anyone we don't want to. Every other bar we went to not only accepted her id but acknowledged it was her bday and said happy birthday. I don't recommend anyone goes here or supports this establishment. If you don't want girls in your good ole boys club just say so! Next time we will find kariokee anywhere but there! read more

Nice dive bar in Denver. Last time I was there though they much not have paid their liquor bill as they were out of a lot of vodkas and beer. Nevertheless, if you catch it on a good night it is a lot of fun. Sometimes it seems the tenders there are a little too cool for their own good. read more

Beware of the Star Bar parking lot scam. It's a killer. They will tow your car in a NY second and charge you $264 CASH ONLY. Star Bar leases the lot (at least that's what they say) from Metro Parking Services, Metro Parking Services has some thugs that hide across the street and as soon as you leave your car and pass by The Star Bar they swoop in with a tow truck and wham! - your car is gone. The thugs take your car to 4440 Jason Street to a non-descript lot - no signs, no office, no nothing - and you have to find one of the thugs to hand your cash - cash only - over to in order to retrieve your car. Also, they photograph your driver's license before they give you back your car. Ouch!! If Star Bar allows their parking lot landlord to treat LoDo parkers this way, then Star Bar should share the blame. read more

Getting 2 stars instead of one due to good beer and bourbon selection.. want to give one star for the "Star Bar" because they kicked everyone out 10 minutes after last call... security physically and aggressively made everyone leave without even being able 2 finish the drinks they just sold us, total rip off read more

Five stars for the fun, laid back atmosphere of the place. It's divey, but has skee ball and a foosball table, and I think a couple of other games. Awesome! However, one star for the most horrible and rudest bartender I've ever been unfortunate enough to have been served by. We went for a good friend's, b-day, so logically the first order of business was to buy her a shot. At the bar, we politely asked if they have Fireball, and he LOUDLY scoffed at us. While we were deciding what we wanted instead, he went to the couple just down the bar from us and said something to the tune of, OMG they just asked for Fireball, I think that they're totally in the wrong bar (for some reason the valley girl accent just comes to mind as I'm recounting this story...). We order some other kind of shot, and if we weren't meeting a bunch of other people here, I would've left right then. He continued to be rude to everyone in our group for the rest of the night, which really tainted (obviously) my view of this place. I'll probably give this place another chance if I'm ever asked to meet up there on another occasion. read more

Star Bar is great again! It has a real neighborhood feel, a great beer selection, reasonable prices and friendly bartenders who know their trade. There are good places to drink beer and good places for cocktails -- this place is both! You can also bring your own food or order from various restaurants in the neighborhood. read more

I had no idea that Star Bar had changed owners as I hadn't been in in a while. I was looking for a divy place to grab a bottle of Bud and a shot of Beam. It was what I was in the mood for. Instead of steering me more towards something on their menu I was told by the bartender that they didn't serve that swill and I should go to Chili's instead. Not the type of professionalism they seem to want to be known for these days. I can usually be swayed to get what's on the menu but I wasn't given the opportunity or the courtesty. It's still a dive bar full of low-life staff as far as I'm concerned. At least Chili's doesn't give me a hard time if I ask for something they don't have. read more

Beware of even coming CLOSE to this place... My husband and I went to Ignite restaurant with the full intent to go to the Star Bar for after dinner drinks. We parked at the lot next to the Star Bar; when we got back to our lot, our car was nowhere to be seen. Some sketchy towing company called Personal Touch (yeah, they majorly touched me!!) towed our car within 2 minutes of having parked (I got this info directly from the tow truck driver). They claim to have no affiliation with the Star Bar but there has got to be some kick back scheme and there was definitely a spotter in the lot. An Uber to the impound lot, half an hour wait for the belligerent tow truck driver and $283 later, I had my car back. Btw, while we were trying to find our car, a couple came out of the Star Bar and were angry because the bar had "lost" his credit card and his wife was crying because someone tried to beat her up in the bathroom.... Quality joint. read more

I had fun here I really did. I enjoy Karaoke and I knew my little sister would love this place so i brought her here for her 21st. I knew there wouldn't be a problem because the last time I came here with a friend for his 21st we had no problems getting in and had no problem enjoying the night. so you can imagine my surprise when at my little sister's 21st birthday it was fantastic to hear that the bartender refused to serve her any drinks on her birthday night. I know bars have different polices regarding people who TURNED 21 THAT DAY but i really don't expect those policies to change on a weekly basis. Not only was my sister embarrassed but she missed out on a fun night at what i thought was an enjoyable karaoke bar. As much as I'll miss going to this place, I'm sure they'll miss having a regular customer stop coming more. There are better karaoke bars out there and luckily Denver is a great place with plenty of better venues that aren't as run down as this little "dive" bar. Won't be coming back to this place. It's great getting denied service in a practically empty bar because the "supervisor" apparently doesn't know when 21 years ago was. read more

Finally ventured into Star Bar last night for the first time, and I think I found my new favorite bar on Larimer Street! It has everything I love about dive bars: it's got some real history (old), is dimly lit, has a kick-ass jukebox and a few games, and it's mostly free from pretentious jerks. Unlike most dive bars this one also seems to be clean, the staff is super friendly and the craft beer selection is amazing. 4 Stone beers on tap? Yes please! We came here for drinks before dinner at Mario's, and if you're lucky enough to be doing that on a weeknight you can get free parking after 5pm in the lot adjacent to the bar. The beers selection was great and the bartender really knew a lot about the beers they had on tap, which was very helpful when we were trying to decide. We were settled in with some great brews when a Descendants song started playing on the jukebox, making my inner punk rock girl very happy indeed. Yep, I love, love, love this bar. read more

I love this bar, it's dark and a little dingy with an old school feel but the beer selection is unique and cheap and constantly changing, and the atmosphere is very fun and relaxed. Great alternative for those who have outgrown gin mill and view house and want to be able to actually talk to friends and other patrons. They sometimes have live music playing, and its conveniently between lodo and rino. read more

Found out about this bar prior to my visit to CO, and after learning that it was voted Best Dive Bar in Denver for 2011 by two publications, it was on my top 10 list of things to do. AMAZING bar...great location on Larimer Street, close to Coors Field, easy walk after a Rockies game (!!!). Owner Justin and bartender Tara are the best! Tara offered samples of the fine brews on tap with spot on knowledge. Comfortable, great vibe, great juke box music. If ever I find myself back in Denver, I will definitely return, with more time to spend in the Star Bar! read more
