Best pub in the world, great jukebox (especially No. 159), cracking banter, decent pint & positively charming Bar Staff. All in all - a delightful experience!

absolutely packed at the weekend and with a tiny bar it can be hard to get served never mind seated , but its a decent spot with a good jukebox blasting out diverse sounds , and the table footballs always nice to see .
Beer garden is good in the summer .

The most recent review rang a few bells.
My boyfriend and I were on our first trip to edinburgh and we stopped by the Star Bar. I was given a foul smelling pint of lager and when I returned it too the bar (because it tasted of malt vinegar) I was told "no refund or new pint" and "I shouldn't have payed for the pint it I thought it was off". I then asked for the manager only to be told it was him I was speaking too and if I wasn't happy to "stick my custom where the sun don't shine".
I ruined our whole weekend. NOT RECOMMENDED!

Had a very nasty encounter involving the bar manager and a cracked glass. Smug and arrogant can best describe him. If you're not local avoid the place at all costs, you won't be made to feel welcome. A disgraceful introduction to Edinburgh folk.

Have been in and out of this pub for about 30 years and I think it's a very friendly and welcoming pub. I like sitting in the beer garden and also the wee bit next to the bar. The back is a wee bit soulless but overall it's still what a pub should be.

The atmosphere at the Star Bar is excellent both during the day - lunch in the beer garden out back catches what little sun we get in Edinburgh, and both the service and food are great - and at night: live band Karaoke, quality drinks, an energising ambience. Brilliant!
