Star Bar in Edinburgh, City of

The best bar in New Town! Had such a great time here and the bar staff are lovely. Would recommend their tequila selection.

A very good place to experience a Scottish pub. Very good vibes and this place does not feel touristy at all. Nice staff! Shoutout to a bartender Bella! An absolutely amazing person :)

A great place to pop in and meet a wide cross section of folk. Quirky but friendly staff and clientele. Nice beer garden and table football. Resident DJ on Thursday night is a treat! Sometimes accompanied by Callum a cocktail conjurer behind the bar if you fancy a tasty tipple!

Eclectic small bar, very friendly, comfy seats, reasonable DJ in my age group 😀 ! Sometimes they have bar food (bread, butter and decent pate).

Really cool bar with equally cool staff and customers. Great ambience, good music, would recommend 👌 for an absolute star night !

Came down with friends recently - top atmosphere, great staff, fully stacked bar. Apparently a recent change in management that seems to have changed the game for Starbar.,

Super cool place. Edinburgh's best kept secret!! Unlike so many pubs out there, this place is real. Just had a new owner take over too, clearly a lot of effort going into making it the best boozer in the city

Just dropped in this evening for a pint of Guinness...fine...it was NOT filled properly and looked miserable...I suggested to the barman (owner) that he could just finish off my clearly unfinished pint of Guinness.... hmmmm “Get tae F^^k” was the response!! No wonder the place is up for sale!! Cheer up and pour a decent pint would be my advice.....and well work the rest out for yer self!!! Abysmal customer service...that’s it.

The hidden student life of Edinburgh! Wonderful staff, great Juke box, drinks and everything else a pub should have. You'll love it..... Unless you're easily offended!!

excellent choice of beer, rum. Gin everything. No hassle. Brilliant bar with no stuck up rubbish Been going for 20 years and hopefully for another 20 years. Please please please get the jukebox going again sometime soon.

Arrived to find it empty. It used to be my favourite Edinburgh bar, however after tonight’s experience no longer. My attempt at humour “ You’ll just have me to bore you “ , was greeted with “ Please don’t” £11 lighter after 2 pints , and no jukebox choice ( why I went there in the first place ) which was due to COVID ( strange reason ), although the jukebox was on , playing mindless rubbish. The owner or manager is the most ignorant person I have had the displeasure to meet, and not on just this evening’s unfortunate experience, every time I have encountered him. After saying “ It must be good to be open again “ I was answered with a shrug of the shoulders. Could be a great bar with a different owner manager. I won’t be back.

Fabulous pub in Edinburgh I dodn't even know existed !. Great atmosphere and everyone in the place was friendly and chatty !. Great tunes too (old School that suits me just fine !).

Came here with my dog for a quiet drink. This place is great if you like something a bit different in Edinburgh! Haunted? Check. Great music? Check. Relaxed atmosphere? Check! Don't come here if you're after something pretentious, chilled people / dogs only.

Tucked away on a little alleyway in the New Town, it's not hard to overlook this bar entirely - but I'm glad I didn't. Nice, relaxed atmosphere, good music, and good beer garden.

find this brilliant pub hidden downtown, newtown! it's a hidden gem, with great staff... food and atmosphere are lovely - a treat on the way to stockbridge, or returning back uphill to city centre.

We visited Saturday night one member of staff sitting behind the bar eating crisps another standing there drinking tea/coffee and neither of them made an attempt to serve use.

En escondido 1 Northumberland LugarEdinburgh EH3 6LQ te perderás en el pasado camino.El bar de estrellas es cursi y lleno de folclore (no preguntar sobre la calavera en la bodega! ). Los lugareños y calmas el extraño carácter toff se puede encontrar agua potable.Hay fútbol de mesa y una rocola bien abastecido. El propietario Steve y el personal del bar es muy amable. Atmosférico con un poco de cerveza en el jardín. Es perros también.Si eres un o no snowflake pagar por bebidas en la ciudad, entonces Wspoons puede ser más para ti. Pero si quieres un bar real con gente real, entonces definitivamente debería entrar como lo he estado haciendo durante los últimos 20 años!

this bar is sound, the barmaid (beth? steph? jeff?) was super nice and super hot i had a mini stroke and forgot how to count to £1.90 and the lovely barmaid helped me out without mocking me for being an absolute fud my only complaint is the concept of forbidden snacks in the premises. I ordered a diet coke (the unofficial drink of people obsessed with their weight, NOT UNHEALTHY) and i was mocked by a barman for ordering something “unhealthy” at least the patter was good tho

Estábamos paseando por la ciudad y este lugar fue recomendado así aparecimos en el camino a otro lugar.Era un sábado y no había nadie más allí aparte de la mujer que me bar (agregar era encantador).Nos alojamos sólo una bebida como por un vaso de vino y una pinta de sidra llegó a sólo 10 libras. Sé que esto está en el centro de Edimburgo, pero me sentí un poco estafado.Volvería otra vez, quizás como cuando está ocupado, me imagino que este lugar habría un ambiente agradable. Me volveré a otra bebida quizás stick la próxima vez

Apareció después del trabajo un día. Estaba tan oscuro que realmente me preguntaba si las luces estaban apagadas y estaba cerrado. El miembro del bar reapareció. Adornos extraños (algunos del año pasado, la Navidad todavía estaba en pie) y un olor gracioso a lejía. El miembro del personal fue amable, sonrieron y me sirvieron enseguida. Tal vez más de un tipo de barra de estudiante / buceo. El vino estaba en el lado cálido, así que pedí hielo y no gran selección. La selección de ginebra fue mejor y creo que hay muchas cervezas en oferta. Los precios no fueron caros. Escuché que tienen una linda parte trasera pero no estaba abierta cuando estuve adentro. No es para mí, pero seguro que puede atraer a otros.

£3.30 for a grouse on its own! Robbery. It prides itself on being a sort of retro pub. I was shocked at the price of a single grouse. I hope it was a mistake in which case I'd like my money back please.

Mucho se siente como un estudiante pub situado en el corazón de la ciudad nueva.Tablero de dardos, futbolín y de estilo antiguo juxe box en un bar oscuro. Un pequeño jardín en la parte trasera.Cuando yo venía de una rápida pinta, Cuenta atrás estaba en la televisión.Sin embargo los precios no se sentía "establecemos' - de £4. 80 por una pinta de cerveza.Junto a la calle de Dublín a sólo unos minutos de la calle Andrews Square.

I went there last week with my husband for a pint after work. I thought drinks a bit expensive in Edinburgh however I really liked music and atmosphere! I would love to go back there sometime soon.:) 隠れ家的な雰囲気のパブでした。いい感じのBGMにアンティークの家具が落ち着く雰囲気を醸し出しています。ドリンクはエディンバラにしてはお高めでしたが、ゆっくり楽しめたのでいいかなと思います。

No ha sido aquí en años, así que decidimos probar aquí para mi cumpleaños socios y fue una gran elección.

Really nice little bar, playing real cool music. Small but perfectly formed beer garden. A great place to catch up with friends, or watch sports. Relaxed, unusual and fun.

Yo solía venir todo el tiempo para jugar en la mesa de fútbol. También es un muy agradable, un bar exclusivo en el centro de Edimburgo. Escena acogedora pero no agobiante. También tiene jardín de cerveza al aire libre en la parte trasera.

The Star Bar is an Edinburgh institution.... Clearly not one for you, and gladly so! This is one of the most friendliest bars in Edinburgh, with the best juke box in town! Other visitors do not be deterred!

Nos trasladamos desde el bar Cumberland (error) a otro lugar que de acuerdo a google tenía un jardín de cerveza, ya que pensábamos hacer un pequeño tour jardín de cerveza tal vez. Deberíamos haber perdido este. Habiendo leído aquí que es una "joya escondida" y...

The Star Bar is an all time classic hangout. It's tucked away in the heart of Edinburgh's new town. Drinks are reasonable and there's a decent enough selection; something for everyone. Perfect place to enjoy some good music (on their juke box) and just hang out.

We went here on Saturday night for a few drinks, found it to be a great little local, good mixture of feeling like an old mans pub and a quirky bar. Foosball table, dart board and loads of random cool items around the bar and a good crowd of people.Well worth a visit if you are in the area!

The pub itself is small, but quite nice, filled with some locals/students. The owner(I think it was the owner) was very unpleasant and rather unhappy to serve us. I won't be back anytime soon :/

The food is just to die for...I would recommend the cheesy pub-master burger 8oz, mmmmm....Also a vibrant atmosphere, live band almost every day and banter coming from all directions (extra cheeky)Some say the banter is just too cheeky

The usual old style pub. It's hidden away in the New Town, so no tourists as it's hard to find. The prices are standard. It's nothing special, but then again there's nothing wrong with it. It's dog friendly so, if you like dogs you'll love it. I'll definitely be going back.

Avoid on a sunny day as the ponytailed barman will be too busy sunbathing in the garden to come and serve you. Otherwise nice bar with a good but loud jukebox. That is probably so the barman can hear it while catching some rays in the garden.

They have a great selection of real ale. Food is good and the staff are helpful and friendly. Will go back again

Tucked away, kitschy and full of folklore it may be, a good place to drink it most certainly is not. While the Star Bar may have some good things going for it (the aforementioned assets, the foosball table, the boardgames, the cheap jukebox) it is found wanting in the most basic of Bar necessities (yes, the simple Bar necessities). The beer is terrible but expensive (£3.80 for a tinny tasting Tennants). There is a poor selection of drinks whether your poison be beers, wines or spirits (and if you're the designated driver - prepare to have the bank broken...) The seating is sparse and uncomfortable (tired, worn sofas, wonky stools and scratched up tables). The toilets are passably clean but in need of a bit of a refurb to bring them out of the mid 90's. Staff are rude and like to think they are cooler than thou. Actually, it's pretty much like the place is a downtrodden 90's pub... and not in a good way.

The Star Bar is one of those pubs that you’ll first visit on a recommendation (as it's not easy to find) – but pretty everyone who visits seems to love the place. Very popular with locals and full of the type of quirky charm you can only find in bars hidden in the New Town.The bar is rather small so you don’t get a massive selection but there’s enough spirits to keep everyone happy and there’s always Deuchars on tap. A great selection on the jukebox (popular place for music lovers) and very much dog friendly with a nice beer garden at the back. If you like small, quirky pubs then this is the place for you - if you’re more of a Wetherspoons person then it’s best to stay away!The Star Bar rarely changes which is part of its charm but a much welcome improvement is the recent introduction of a food menu. Be aware that this is very limited (burgers and hotdogs) but the quality rivals anything offered by the hipster George Street bars. My Bacon and Cheese Burger was perfectly cooked, well presented and is genuinely one of the best I’ve had in a long time (and im fussy!).One of my favourite Edinburgh pubs and well worth a visit.

Had a burger and beer , love the menu choice of how you order the burger ... Amazing fresh and tasty . You want a hamburger the is done homemade on site to order this is the place to go !

Hands down the best pub in Edinburgh, the drink isn't cheap but 10p a play on the jukebox makes up for it. Great for a quiet drink during the week & a lot more lively on Friday/Saturday nights.

Hadn't been here for a long time but had good memories. Visited last week and ordered 2 glasses of house white. Given three choices and charged £9.10 for two small glasses. We were there alongside just two other people on a Thursday night. No wonder it wasn't buzzing with these prices. Moved on to a pub nearby that was (and was significantly cheaper). Won't be going back.
