What User likes about Star By Hackney Downs:
nice local. we were there for a NYE party. two dancers. decent toilets. not the most friendly security, let some people go to smoke with a drink, and others do not. a great note was to see that the staff is a team that they could see that they really had fun working there. get up! View all feedback. What Max Senger A doesn't like about Star By Hackney Downs:
Great music playing. My girlfriend misplaced her coat but the energetic staff were helpful and friendly. What a fantastic pub! I highly recommend it. And to top it off, we were able to locate the lost coat in the end! View all feedback.
