30th Birthday Party · 40 guests · June 2026 · Basement Bar

This venue was impeccable! I celebrated my 30th here, had a funeral theme, the staff were so helpful with the setup, the food was amazing, they had a little cloakroom and mic setup. They were super chill with the dramatics that I had on and I would definitely host another event here again.

No dislikes at all it was perfection thank you so much!!!

I had an excellent event at The Starman. The pre-event planning was well organised, the staff on the night were so friendly and helpful, and the space was great.

Birthday Party · 40 guests · February 2026 · Basement Bar

The venue offers a very good choice of food and drinks. We preordered some pizzas and sliders and were delicious. The space is very versatile, making it ideal for different styles of parties. We had our own dj to play music and the dj set and sound system was great. The little alcove with the pool table was a great breakout space where guests could have some downtime and chat/play while other were dancing or having drinks. In the first part of the night we were able to use the pool table as a service table which was handy while people were still eating. The staff was super friendly and we had a really wonderful time.

There is no clear sign to show that a private party is ongoing so we had a couple of strangers crashing our party at some point. Nothing happened, but if something could be done to safeguard the guests it would be even better.
