We just had a couple beers and shot some pool (not billiards). It was wonderful to find a local place that is reasonably clean and welcoming. The pool tables were all available when we got there (it was the middle of the day, to early evening, on a Saturday), and I just hung out with a couple of my best friends: playing pool and having a beer. The restrooms were adequate and clean, the drinks were decent (and not overpriced) with more than just one American beer on tap, and the temperature and air quality was great (it was a smoky day outside because of wildfires hundreds of miles away). We haven’t been back in the evening to nighttime yet, but we will. At that point, if I get something to eat, I’ll edit.

Was reluctant to come because I heard it was racist but wanted to have a good time. bartender was nice as hell but customers were constantly saying the N-word. Luckily I didn’t give them the energy they wanted. Bouncer was cool too

We have seen some amazing performances at North Star. They do a fantastic job at bringing in great talent. We saw Junk FM twice and Pop Rocks. Both were fantastic shows. I’m surprisingly impressed with this place. Drink prices are so reasonable and bartenders are super professional and attentive. My only criticism would be a more organized seating arrangement which I’m not sure is possible. We really enjoy this place.

I like this bar, the drinks are very cheap for Rochester, plus they open early. So, if you are looking to start early, this is the place to be! There isn’t any food here, so eat before you come. There are live performances every weekend AND, if you come before the band starts you can drink 50 cent beers. It isn’t the cleanest bar in town, but it sure is a good time.

Friday nights are busy in a good way. Live bands, great service and a great atmosphere for playing pool.

North Star is my go-to place to end a night out. They consistently feature the best bands that are incredibly interactive. The bar tenders here are incredibly kind and efficient. And let’s not forget the bouncers—they’re the best in the business. They ensure that only the most fun-loving individuals enter the establishment. Whether you’re a young adult or an older person, North Star is a fantastic place to have a great night out.

Only venue for live music in the area. Crowd has certainly changed over 30 years . Still an amazing place for a drink. Tons of History to go over if you get the right local to chat with. Definitely a DIVE.

Went on a Saturday night and the band was very good, although I don’t know the name of the band. Pool tables, dance floor and surprisingly enough seating even eith having a band. No idea if they have food but im still giving it 5 stars.

It’s fun and the drinks are cheap, staff are great at their jobs, a nice place to get silly on the weekends without breaking the bank.
Patrons seem friendly, it reminds me of small town watering holes in a way that’s comforting and fun
