Star Bar is part trendy nightspot and part casual after-work hangout. Some patrons dress up and order fancy small plates such as edamame and sesame crusted tuna alongside specialty martinis while others come in jeans and snack on hot wings and beer. Big plates, such as stellar blackened catfish tacos, burgers and sandwiches, are also available. The martini list includes an espressotini with stoli vanilla and coffee liqueur, a chocolate Strawberry martini and a dirty blue with blue cheese-stuffed olives. Star Bar also has 12 beers on tap and 20 more in bottles. Sleek booths and art from the Moberg Gallery take the atmosphere a step up from a sports bar.
