Star Restaurant and Lounge - Spokane

Classy bar. Classy vibes. Always good fun. Cannot recommend this bar enough!! They've got karaoke, they've got strong drinks, they've got a lively atmosphere, and all for a great price.

Horrible place....unless you wanna wait an hour to get in and then get pushed back because people are walking up and cutting line! Told the security employee and he just says well it is college night. Never go again. Super rude college kids here in Spokane. Nothing like this in the south for sure!

I've been coming to the Star Bar for several years for karaoke, and I always have a great time there. Very diverse and comfortable atmosphere, the KJ's are awesome, bar service is prompt! I love the Star Bar.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. My husband and I served as Americorps volunteers in 2013 in Omak, WA, and we had a very fun experience at this bar singing karaoke when we visited the volunteers in Spokane. Now, 5 years later, we returned when my husband was interviewing for a medical residency. We thought, why not stop by for old time 's sake? We were so excited to relive those goofy memories. Now, a little background. We currently live in Chicago. We are both 27 years old. We both have drivers licenses from Illinois. I received mine in 2015, and he updated his in 2017. Illinois changed its design sometime between when I got mine and when he updated his. So, back to the present. We walked into the bar, looking forward to a fun night. The bouncer looked at my husband 's ID skeptically, but let him through. He looked at my ID for a split second and then yelled THIS IS A FAKE! and held it over his head, out of my reach. I immediately protested, as did my husband, and he said I 'M GOING TO CONFISCATE THIS AND CONTACT CAMPUS SECURITY! We were like... what?? Campus security? I understand this bar probably has to be vigilant with Gonzaga kids trying to get away with stuff, but neither of us had any affiliation with the university whatsoever and we are 27, for God 's sake! We tried to calmly explain that he should look at the issue dates to see why they looked different, but he kept yelling belligerently and saying he was confiscating it. We panicked, because we were supposed to fly from Spokane to Chicago in two days ' time, and I needed my license to travel. So, my husband demanded that this idiot release my ID or he would call the cops. The guy got in my husband 's face and then basically ran to the bartender, still waving my ID. The bartender tried to talk sense into him but he wouldn 't listen. My husband again threatened to call the cops if they didn 't give back my ID, and finally the bartender told the guy to give it back. As we left, the bouncer basically chased us to the exit, flipped us off, then looked at me and yelled F CK you f ing c nt! Wow. We were both so shaken, and I in particular was terrified. I could not believe that just happened. I 'm months away from being a lawyer, my husband is months away from being a doctor. Still shocked and upset by this experience. Do. Not. Go. Here.

I came here with a friend for lunch. It was after one, we were about the only ones in the restaurant portion. We eyed the Bubble tea board, then the waitress/owner(? came to seat us. The menus were skinny but bound. I quickly decided on getting the combination choices, my friend agreed they sounded good. The waitress noticed we were looking at those pages and came to tell us they were out of BBQ pork, sweet sour pork, and ribs. I'd been wanting to try the ribs, but there were still plenty of things to choose from. I decided on Almond Chicken, Sweet and Sour Prawns, Pork Fried Rice, House Noodles. My friend had Almond Chicken, Egg Roll, and Sweet and Sour Prawns. I forgot to order my meal without onions, but fortunately the noodles were the only dish that came with onions. I love noodles, but these were my least favorite of the dishes I ordered, mostly because of how few noodles there were it was mostly vegetables. I loved the pork fried rice it was the first thing that disappeared from my plate. My friend said she liked how crispy the almond chicken was, as soon as I had a bite, I agreed. My husband would love this! The sweet and sour sauce was a little too thick for us; my friend said that she'd order it again, but would ask for the sauce on the side next time. I'm definitely going to come back bring my husband so he can enjoy the almond chicken, and maybe we'll try a bubble tea.
