This bar kinda feels like corporate Buckhead clashing with East Atlanta. You have to pay a cover charge to get in. This means, even is you want to just grab a drink, you have to pay between 5 - 15 dollars just to get in. A lot of the time the bar seems to be packed with a scenester crowd too. The bar is small which is nice but the few times that I have seen it packed, it gets really crowded. I do like some of the small acts that go through (i.e., Dead Confederates).

Pros: live music, decent location

Cons: cover charge to get in, scenester crowd, service is iffy

Starbar is a pretty cool place. They serve PBR and have some pretty good live bands play there every once and awile. Definately a rock bar for rock people.

Pros: rock club

Cons: not for everyone, expect to see anything

some overly aggressive posers who think they are southern or punk like to grace this establishment, but for the most part one can have a good time. I prefer the downstairs bar... the bartenders down there seem a little less rude and annoyed. We all know Little Five Points can be selective with it's patrons, but we do what we can. Do not enter if you are Britney Spears. The music and live performances are great and check out the Elvis vault if you are a fan of the King. If you ain't a fan of the King, don't let anyone at the bar know it! Because in this bar, it is rockabilly heaven where ole swivvle hips is revered and a good shot of whisky is sure to cure any sour yankee attitude.

Pros: Great community bar, Great decor inside, in the center of artsy fartsy Little Five Points

Cons: the bartenders can cop an attitude, especially if you don't look like them or if you are not a fimiliar patron.

Unique place,great music sometimes, seedy atmosphere (which is fine for this type of place). In a great neighborhood. Reasonable cover charge, reasonably priced drinks. Filthy dirty place that smells like upchuck, a staff that seems to not care if you ever come back, poor service from the staff all around. Worth going to if a good band is scheduled, not a place I'd like to hang out on a regular basis.

Pros: Some good heavy music, reasonable prices

Cons: A bit boring , rude staff, and filthy place

I know bars are not known for their friendliness but this just seems kinda silly. I called to see pricing on a show and they were just abnormaly rude.(called on an off hour) Not a great way to bring in business, plus when we checked further on pricing they told is it was more than we were told on another web site. Needless to say by that point didnt even end up going. Wish people would get overthemselves and just give service with a smile.

Pros: Fun on tuesdays for funk night, the dj is really great

Cons: VERY cowded and overly smokey,

Go on a Tuesday - great time in a great place. Go before 11 and it's empty; after midnight it's packed. If you have little to do on a Wednesday morning, this is the place...

Pros: Funk, Disco, Night

Cons: Later Crowd

The Star Bar has a funny way of making me feel like I'm at home. Maybe it's because I've seen sooo many shows here, or maybe it's the very friendly staff that's more than happy to pass me an ice cold PBR...Bottom line is that this is a place where anyone can feel comfortable and it's a *great* spot to see live music.

Pros: friendly, great music, great crowds

Editor's Review

Atlanta's trendiest untrendy bar bolsters Little Five Points' nightlife with loud music, stiff drinks and an unpretentious crowd.  See the full editorial review.
