Downstairs small but vibey venue if you like live bands good place to go😊 Upstairs bar under staffed so waiting for drinks was a mission other than that easy to get to as underground literally round the corner.

Great hotel for a quick stay over and fit for purpose. Room cleaning is on a request even if your stay is over a week so bare that in mind.

This bar in Shoreditch is a great place. The staff are amazing and so helpful and friendly. Open till 4am with banging tunes and atmosphere. They do karaoke every Friday and even have a karaoke room you can hire for your private experience with your people. Check it out. Only 5 or so minutes from Old Street tube.

Everyone I dealt with from booking process to on the night itself were super helpful, service was great & staff all really friendly and accommodating. Lots of options for big bookings in terms of drinks, food, experience (karaoke etc). Also just another typically stunning Electric Star venue. Highly recommend! Thank you so much Star team. X

Kind of a weird vibe. Had a full pat down before entering, bar was mostly dead but a DJ was playing music on the Saturday night. Bartender seemed annoyed to serve us beers, some of the patrons near us got into a confrontation with the door guy and that was entertaining for a little while to try and figure out what the issue was. Seemed like it was the patron’s fault. Then, curiously, the other patrons near us left their table one by one to go use the handicap restroom to puke, as the men’s restrooms only had urinals, and I guess they had more class than to toss into a urinal. Cheers. One of them came out of the restroom and tried to coach us on Polaroid camera photography because he did a stint as a photographer on a cruise ship, sometimes dressed like a pirate (his words). I thought the Polaroids came out alright for low light & no-flash… but what do I know. Probably wouldn’t go back, tbh but I live a few thousand kilometers from here so don’t put too much stock in that part of the review EDIT: rereading one year later I was second guessing how I know the bros were tossing in the bathroom and not going in there to do bumps of booger sugar, but my beautiful wife confirmed to me that the door was ajar and we both saw them and heard them as they were heaving. sometimes I’m glad my memory isn’t so good.

Leroy, security guard, who called himself Mo after I requested his name, refused re entree after my friends and I bought drinks and we stepped out for a vape and check on our friends. He was very intimidating and rude. The manager came out and agreed we had been served previously and the security man still prevented us from coming and put his hands on me. The bar ladies were so lovely and provided a refund for the drinks we bought but the security man was so rude.

First time in the Star last night with my work colleagues and we were served by the most wonderful member of the bar team! I think it was only her second or third shift but she commanded that bar and the busy venue like a pro! Her cocktail skills were second to none and she was so friendly and approachable and more than anything a great laugh. I will certainly be returning but mostly for Siobhan she is a keeper!

two stars. I've only been to the place after midnight. Vibes are kinda off. Music was okay. As a DJ myself I can say the DJ had no idea. Pressing play after every song it felt like. No mixes or transitions. I'm glad I only paid £5 for the entry. Next time I'm in shoreditch I'd recommend going to the place opposite. It's an extra £10 for entrance but if you're looking for a vibe and the same music, I highly recommend. If you're looking for a dead place with this sort of DJ then come here :) no hate to DJs or creatives or DJs, keep doing your stuff. But this place...

More atmosphere on the moon! Made a booking for the football game on Sunday, I didn’t need to bother booking, it was empty! Had to listen to below average songs no one had heard of. I thought at least these will be switched off when the game starts however they just kept on warbling away. I enquired when we would get the sound for the game inside however I was advised the speakers weren’t working. It would have been nice to have been called or emailed to notify me before hand. Then I could have gone somewhere better. Especially at £5 for a flat coke and carton orange juice. Tbh I wish I had stayed at puppy yoga, more atmosphere in a room full of miniature dachshunds! Please save yourself the trouble of wiping your feet on the way out and go somewhere else!!

Unfortunately, I went there to the Sunday evening singer songwriter session downstairs which was brilliant but more than once, the girl behind the main bar upstairs was miserable, slow & unhelpful. There was a line queue & eventually another member of staff did help & was ok. 3 other people were complaining about the same thing which is why I thought I should mention the experience!
