Star Bar is an old school pub in the heart of Edinburgh's Newtown, with a south facing beer garden, jukebox, table soccer, dartboard, piano and guitars.

Welcome to the Starbar – your local New Town boozer. Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s trendy city centre and in one of the most elegant residential districts, we’re a bit different from your typical New Town bar. We don’t serve fancy cocktails or food on a bit of roof tile, we’re so much more posher. If you want a meal and a good pint, we’re your pub. We’re a welcoming bunch and whether you want to feel like a local, even if you’re only in for the night or if you just want to find a haven in the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh, we’re there for you. We’re very proud to be a quintessential dive bar; a well worn and comfortable, neighbourhood hole-in-the-wall. So if you’re after a relaxing evening, come on in.

We are the here for a reason – to be relaxed, straightforward and resistant to the ordinary and so we stand out from the crowds of trendy bars out there.
Everybody loves Starbar, our foosball table and our vintage juke box. We hold live music and other events, show movies on big screen projectors and TV’s and we also have free WiFi.
And for those brilliant, balmy Edinburgh days, we have a great beer garden too.
Join the rebels and become part of the Starbar community. Or just come in for a cold beer in a great atmosphere – do or do not, there is no try.
