A great little local/Irish pub with a wide selection of draft beers 🍺 and drinks 🥤. Dancing on Monday nights and other activities such as poetry nights and open mics 🎤 . Irish music on Sunday nights.

I don’t eat at the Starry Plough… I go there for the Sunday night Irish music jam sessions It’s been going on for decades. It is super amazing … Whether you are a Musician or you are there to just listen. Sunday night… Especially between 7 and 8 PM… Is a special time to be there. On Monday, there is a great Irish band on stage and lively Irish dancing in the room. It’s like being transported to Dublin! A very special place!

This is a great Irish pub. The employees are cheerful and friendly and very helpful. The atmosphere is fun and lively. There is plenty of seating. They have some outdoor seating too. They have dartboards. They have a live band that is really good. I highly recommend the Starry Plough.

The place was fun :) There was a little concert with a lot of instruments inside and that was giving quite a vibe to the whole experience. Great choice of beers - also Guinness+ cider! - and interesting choice of food. Chicken wings were very tasty. I saw on the menu that they do the desserts with beers, which should be quite an experience.

Wow, I tried their Irish Kelly dancing class on Monday, and it was so much fun 😄. If you want to try something new and good beer and some Irish cuisine, this is a nice place. It's really accessible on BART, too.

I have been to The Starry Plough Pub during several Saint Patrick's Day Celebrations. This is an Irish bar with reasonable prices (for this day and age). I was able to find a dry cider--yum! What a celebration this 2023 Saint Paytrick Day was!!! It was standing room only. They had Irish bands, Irish dancers, and it was an open mike for singing Irish songs. They offer foods like Corned Beef and Cabbage, Fish and Chips, and Bacon Cheseburger, but we had dinner before going there. They looked good, though. The Starry Plough is a hangout for Irish and Irish wanna bes. They have live music, Irish music, and even Irish dancing.

We went for the Monday night Ceili dancing! (Not for the food). Service was great and very welcoming atmosphere. Folks new to Irish dancing: jump in the line and jump along with everyone else! There are beginner classes around 7pm, band starts playing a little before 9pm. Beginners warmly welcomed, and folks are very kind.

Friendly but very slow staff. Food is serviceable. Music performances are lovely. 2019/09 update: - the staff is still very friendly and I like them quite a bit. +1 more star for their world class vegetarian burger. The chef that created it, Alura, is a local. The aioli is stellar, and the patty definitely craveworthy.

The 1 bar tender is also tasked with.. hosting too? Tonight my friend and I were told to vacate our table by him to make room immediately after we finished our food. Yet everyone else was able to stay at their tables with only drinks. Even the two white women at the table next to us (🙃)! After he only took our table he went back behind the bar. We left. We spent $30 to get in and $80 at the bar (tip incuded!) and i wont ever go back.

I ordered a beer and the barista served a small amount of beer from the tap and he pretended to fill up the glass from it but he grabbed a pitcher full of beer that was under the tap and he poured to fill up the glass.i was pissed of knowing that i'm a regular client for this pub and i always tip for each service. Really disappointed.

Beginner’s Square Dancing Night I stopped here with some friends and really felt uncomfortable the whole time. Everyone was giving me weirdddd energy and staring. I asked one of my friends (white) if they felt similar they said they didn’t know what I was talking about. Let me phrase it like this, do you see me staring at every white person that enters a free salsa dancing class? No. Some of you just need to check yourself 😔💔
