The Star in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

An incredible Irish pub that has a lush wooden structure which is really immersive with great people, great drinks, and overall a great experience. The pub also features live music all of the time, and it constantly seems to have a great atmosphere with lots of customers almost every night.

Great local pub, good atmosphere, nice beers and a good music scene

Spot on, friendly staff, excellent atmosphere, nice interior, fantastic Irish folk band was playing. It's my local now, cheers

Great spot for music or a game of pool - lovely garden for summer time too!

Bit sad. Lost it's mojo. Needs a bit of love. The back 'garden' is a tip. The bitter was not available. Still hot day, so a lager sufficed.

Amazing hidden gem of a pub loved the staff and the building I'll be going back 100%! Also very affordable considering the age we are in and it's location. I would love a IPA on keg but still no big deal have some lovely cask IPA :)

Always fun - cheap drinks, great outdoor area, live music. Definitely recommend!

One of the best guinesses in Bristol

Great pub with a truly great pint of Guinness

Nice venue nice staff but the landlord is a miserable grumpy bully with little man syndrome

Really nice local pub with open fire, pool table and good music. Lots of space but is popular. Outdoor area has heaters.

Proper Irish pub with no plastic leprechauns to be found anywhere. Lovely open fire on cold evenings and regular live music

Star is best affordable drinks and my favourite local in there at least twice a week

Great authentic Irish boozer. There is usually a good selection of beers to choose from although I have had a couple of ales there that have not been as fresh as I'd have liked. The atmosphere is great with a decent mix of different types of people. Usually busy but rarely feels TOO busy. The garden is bangin although I've yet to experience it in the summer. I also haven't seen any live music there yet but I'm told that's really good. The staff are usually really friendly although you do get the odd young'un at the bar whose a bit lacking in people skills. Haven't tried the food there but they have a good selection of bar snacks. Decent pub all round. Will go there more often in the future 👍

Met an old friend there for a pint and catchup. Has been redecorated tastefully and retains the old charm.

A great night of traditional Irish music.

Fantastic Irish pub, best Guinness in Bristol, quality live music always a good craic

Great pub, very reasonable prices. Love that you can order food into the venue! Great atmosphere with a nice mixed crowd. Everything you need for a local boozer :)

Great local pub. Nice staff, good energy, nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating.

I’ve had a few pints of Guinness over the last 20+ years and the Guinness that I had last week at this place is up there with the best, definitely the best I’ve had in Bristol, a credit to whoever is looking after the cellar, we will be back soon 👏👍

very welcoming staff. good selection of drinks and food.at reasonable rates.

One of the best pubs in Bristol, amazing atmosphere, warm fires, and live music most nights.

Best place for love Irish music , people and vibe . Please do visit . Specially on Tuesday evenings

Came to a Latin party here and the pub was lovely. Great food good drinks and the atmosphere with the Latin band was amazing!

Yo the Star fishponds was a Rockin, I've lived and worked in Bris for quite some time and I luv a bit of traditional Irish folk music not easy to find!! what a blast the players were, good lively local and student crowd well mixed, will defO return for some hit trad and diesel ye haaa.

Nice friendly pub! Cheap drinks too 👍🏼

Best pub this side of Easton by a mile.

The Latin American food festival is 10/10 food

We attended the comedy night and totally loved it. Bar service was friendly and well run. A great place. Can’t wait to go back. They don’t serve food but it’s ok to take your own in

Great pub! Cheap, cool outside area and the staff are really nice. One of the best in Bristol! Don't do food so didn't rate them on this obviously!

Miła obsługa i smaczne jedzenie.

Decent place with loads of character and characters.

Pub with friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Overall, I was happy with my visit!

Great pub, great atmosphere the Guinness was superb and the staff were really friendly. One small criticism need more Guinness glasses 😬

I gave the food five-star because they let you eat your own picnic if you buy drinks. Marvelous 👍🏻

Disappointed, the staff didn't do the licensee justice

Popped In last night after 12 years and wow what a difference and how nice this pubs back garden Is. Best Guinness In Bristol my other half says.

One of the best pubs in Bristol

Love the Star. Such a community hub and lots of quirky spaces indoors and outside to enjoy meet ups.

Proper lovely pub with live music, games (Inc pool table & skittles) and a decent selection of drinks. Looking forward to my next visit.

Both the friendliest and cheapest pub I've been to for years.

Very inclusive pub. Good prices!

Service friendly cute little smoking sheds out back 😉

Lovely evening with friends at Quiz night.

Real honest pub, great live music which is almost lost elsewhere.. And lovely cool staff

Very small and unusual pub, made very welcome

Best pub in Bristol. Regular Trad Irish music. Cheap pints. Brilliant beer garden. Ticks all the boxes.

A great local pub, fantastic beer garden and pretty good range of ales. Always something interesting going on. Friendly staff.

5 stars for The Star! This place is ace of spades... cheap drinks, quick service, huge outdoor area, tick tick and tick. Get yourselves down to the star and you won't regret it

Lovely friendly pub. Landlord is a total "gent"

The drinks are cheap, the staff and atmosphere is amazing with great music and pool table. Outside has a stage with great acts on. Best pub in the area by far!

Good pub....gents bogs have improved

Although not particularly enticing from the outside, it's not too bad once you're in. Good atmosphere and a decent size garden and stage. I particularly like the fact that they have a regular Latin American food and music event.

Paid £5 for 2 pints in the Star in fishponds. V tasty Guinness if you're into that kind of thing. Miles away but worth a trip! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keir, 27, Bristol.

Good live music often on offer here. A unique atmosphere with a covered large cool pub garden 🤙🏽. Great value for money. Pool table and open fire. Nothing to fault.

Excellent choice drinks and friendly staff

Dosnt look much from the outside but it's a grate quirk space inside, the pub garden is a gem of a space with live music some nights. Plenty of places to sit and a pool table if you fancy some light sport. Ladys loo is like in most pubs an odd place but they were cleen and perfectly nice to use. I enjoyed the atmosphere I went on a Wensday night and the place was buzzing. Staff and local drinkers were very friendly and a good laugh too.

Community pub that welcomes everyone. Great beer, live music and friendly atmosphere.

Great pub! Always seems to be something going on, live music, quiz etc. Very popular so gets busy. Huge covered outside area with heaters.

Cheap drinks, great outdoor area, friendly staff and some really amazing live folk music most days. My pub of choice

Old style Irish pub , pool table, skittles , fruit machine , food , microbrewery, massive outside area , lots undercover , some with heating , friendly staff, mixed clientele. Live music , Irish measurements 35cl instead of 25 cl what not to love .

Always had good space out back even better now great to have pubs open again

Lovely atmosphere, good selection of drinks, would definitely recommend for a nice chilled out evening.

Tabel book 4 2oclok startes came out 3 3o mainecors 45 mins after roast came out roats pots hard notcooked

Great local pub, with live music, events, nice ales and a clientele that are really fun. Bar staff are super friendly. Literally this has become my favourite pub in Bristol.

Such a cheeky little pub this. Love the atmosphere, love the outside area when it's open and I love the measures and prices!

Crackin place great atmosphere and contains the goat himself, Silas McGrath

Great vibe, loves their regulars, excellent bar staff

Pubs don't get better than this. A proper drinker's community pub, excellent music, excellent beer, best prices you can get, and top quality craic any night of the week. Truly a rarity.

Lovely pub, though ale selection wasn't as good as previous visits and the blokes toilets need a bit of tlc....

This family pub is a place of fun and sheer enjoyment, acoustic bands with plenty of guitars, accordions, fiddlers and flutes, filling up the atmosphere with the sounds of magic and timeless music. Don’t miss it!

Lovely atmosphere, love what they've done to the place

5 Star review went to this legend of a pub last night best night ever friendly people good music good night will be back again

Best pub in fishponds if you're not after a gastro family friendly generic gaff. They have beer, snacks, loads of covered outdoor space and bands! A pub with character filled with characters.

A pub with a beer garden of grand proportions. Good atmosphere on fri/sat.

Nice Irish pub. Some of the cheapest pints in the area too.

Great Latino music and food! Nice wood fire inside. Cosy and friendly stuff.
