The small door on Moreland Avenue may not give it away, but this swinging joint is a prime hotspot on the local Atlanta music scene. Featuring live bands, comedy specials, and karaoke nights, the Star is a longtime favorite for catching rising acts and great neighborhood groups. Wild and a little wacky, the dimly lit ambiance leans a bit toward the psychedelic. When the music is not blaring, the place tones down slightly but remains one of the most interesting melting-pot watering holes in the neighborhood and the city.
