Delicious food! Cool atmosphere

Star Bar is one of my all time favorites. I'm comfortable going there with friends for drinks or one my own for a quick bite. It's got a nice neighborhood feel while still being just a little bit classy (but not pretentious). I love the steak sandwich and the crispy edamame. And they usually have some interesting and tasty desserts, which change frequently. I'm not a huge fan of their brunch on the weekends but it's not bad. The crowd varies depending on the time and night. Parking can be kind of a pain when it's crowded. I always end up going back here because I always know it's going to be good.

Came here with a large group of friends for a birthday celebration and was truly disappointed. I was serviced twice in the 3 hrs I was there. I was there so long because the bill NEVER came. I ordered chips and salsa for myself only to find after everyone started eating that they had been served to the whole group at the other end of the table. I can look past that, but the fact that people in our group had to go up to the bar to get served was unacceptable. Will not come back here or suggest it.

I dig this place. I'll be honest, their mixed drinks are not my favorite (i.e. specialty drinks like girly martinis), but I can be just as happy with a cold beer. I like the atmosphere - it's two big, open rooms, and feels clean and welcoming. Even when it's crowded, I've never had much trouble finding a place to sit with a small group of friends. I've also never had bad service here! Our last visit was with a friend for her birthday. We had left another place because of poor service, and we jokingly told our waiter the same. We were a big group of 12+ people, and he was FAST! He had a great attitude despite being busy, got all of our orders out correctly and even did separate checks for us. I had a veggie sandwich, I've also had salad there, it's tasty!

I wish I had written this review earlier, because now I'm having trouble remembering what we ordered. I remember the penne being good and I think we ordered the cajun pasta. Regardless, we loved the atmosphere here. The interior is well decorated and the outside is a really great place to sit and hang out with friends.

Very good salmon! This chief knows what he is doing! The boss hog is also excellent!

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. There's impressive entertainment at times during the week, and it usually draws quite a crowd. Highly recommended as a must-see in Des Moines.

I flew in from San Francisco, and went straight to this place for a late-night bite. They serve small plates after 10p which was great! We had chicken fingers/fries which were OK. BUT the potstickers, bread w/goat cheese and green beans were even more yummy! Great cookin' band there too! A bit too loud, but it was 11p.

We really enjoyed the atmosphere here. We got the BBQ chicken egg rolls with mango slasa which were dicious. I had the Cajun pasta which was pretty greasy but what do you expect from a dish with sausage? The food was all nice and hot and arrived at a relaxed pace. The drink menu also had great variety. We're sure to come back again!

I have really enjoyed the food every time and the drinks are amazing. This place is fun for anything from a night out with friends to a date night. Service has been good every time I have visited.

Food might not be bad, but I have yet to have good service here. They always seem to be understaffed and the wait staff seems to always have better things to do than serve their customers. There are MUCH better places around downtown to go than Star Bar.

Great food, great atmosphere. Their wings are the best I have had done in the traditional way (fried and spun in butter and hot sauce). Good palce to go for a relaxing time with friends.

Some of my favorite meals in Des Moines have been at Starbar, which was recommended by a fellow team member (aka co-worker). Try the catfish tacos with avocado salsa and black beans - really really quite good. But they also make a tasty burger, and the sesame-crusted tuna salad with spinach and oranges is fantastic. Great margaritas, good tap beer selection, too. Great for outdoor dining in the summer, even though Ingersoll Ave doesn't give you much to look at. Staff is always nice, though sometimes a bit slow. I recommend sitting at the bar if you're there to dine alone.

Star Bar is perfect to hit up late at night after a hard day's work. Unwind on the patio with a good beer and great fried food, plus live jazz if you're there on the right night. The servers are super fast and efficient, and the whole place is just chill.

After driving around in utter confusion we realized the address listed on Yelp! is incorrect. It is actually 2811 Ingersoll Avenue. We were there for breakfast/brunch on Sunday morning. There were customer's at four tables (including our two top), a bartender or two, and two servers. The bartender finally came to take our drink order offering some lame excuse for the server. The order: two coffees and cream (just in case the coffee is horrible though we ordinarily drink it black), she brought water and said our server was coming with coffee. The server brings the coffee, no cream. Guess what...the coffee is not very good and thus requires cream. Though thankfully the cream did come halfway through our time there (the bartender forgot to mention the cream until then apparently). The server takes our order, doesn't inquire about how we would like our eggs cooked, I remember to mention that I would like mine over-medium as he was walking away. I ordered the shrimp and grits with eggs. When the meal arrived I noticed the eggs immediately. They were crispy, brown, and the yolk was hard as a rock. I waited for the server to come back to check on us, ask us how our meal was, refill our coffee or SOMETHING so I could request new eggs. Nope, never came. I finally decided to eat some of the cheesy grits (seemed leftover and reheated) and three small (boiled??) shrimp whose tails looked as though they had been set on fire so they would appear to be something other than boiled tasting and overcooked. The eggs were poked at to see what was going on with them, but other than that remain untouched on the plate. The server collected the plates never once asking how everything was because he did not care! We received one coffee refill in the hour we were there and waited a long time for the bill to come. I don't feel the place was under staffed, but I do feel the staff was completely inadequate, at least it was that Sunday morning!

I went to the Star Bar directly after a day in airports and plane rides, so perhaps my appetite and palate were slightly skewed by somewhat of a ravenous attitude towards the food. However, at looking over other reviews, I think I'm probably right on the money. My companion and I took advantage of the summer afternoon and scored a table outside, which doesn't do too much by way of atmosphere since there isn't a terrible amount of people-watching to do, but it's always nice to dine outside. She had an arugula salad with pine nuts and smooth creamy non-"goaty" goat cheese, topped with a piece of grilled salmon. The cheese was the highlight of the meal - I hope it's something locally made, and I give kudos to the maker! Otherwise, the salmon was slightly dry and the salad itself had a bit too much dressing. Still tasty, though. I opted for the Nimon Ranch steak burger, which was cooked to perfection (med-rare) and had a great soft flavor to it - one that actually allows you to taste the high quality meat rather than being doused with seasonings. The burger was served on a soft water-roll that was just perfect, and quite frankly, the fries were the best I've had in a long time - crunchy outside, soft inside. Way to go! If I lived in town, I would definitely hit this place up again, especially to enjoy more of the live music that was just starting as we were heading out.
