Star in Shoreditch is not your regular sports bar, but a mix of eclectic DJ nights, intimate live music gigs, sports on the screens, cocktails, decent beers & kitchen residencies. We may have rats and rodents but we are dealing with it best we can! We have flies in our alcohol but we make sure to filter them out good as new! There is no better place to catch the sun, watch a match or the world go by than the big terrace at the front but be careful as most of our tables are unfortunately broken. Screens around the venue & two big projector screens (one doesn’t work) but come down for busier matches.
