Nestled in Berkeley, Starry Plough stands out as a vibrant pub enriched with community spirit and artistic flair. With lively events like open mic nights on Tuesdays, poetry slams on Wednesdays, and Irish jams on Sundays, it offers an engaging atmosphere for locals and visitors alike. Patrons rave about the delicious food, notably the vegetarian burger, and the friendly staff, although service can be slow at times. Regular dance classes and music performances invite participation, making it a welcoming spot for all. Despite a few inconsistencies in pricing, this pub remains a beloved destination for socializing and enjoying live music.
The staff are very friendly and generous, loved the vibe, highly recommend!
The most unexpected place I think I've ever been to in my cross-country travels. The first time I walked in the door, Irish musicians kept gathering throughout the afternoon to join the music circle and add their talents. It was incredible. My next visit was to an open mic featuring singing, comedy, storytelling, all of it insanely entertaining. They have an event calendar that won't quit. A fascinating history. A nice variety on tap. Decent food. And a cute bartender. Really, what more could you ask for?? 10/10

Great vibes, friendly people, fun events! The Irish dance lessons are so fun- very beginner-friendly! I’d definitely come back to try more. Also love the values of this place- really a space for community, art, and advocating for liberation- so cool to see and get to support. Edit: I had the chance to watch a Wednesday poetry slam and it was Amazing! The featured poet, Brandon Leake, had WON America’s got talent so I knew he’d be amazing but every other poet there held their own and delivered such awesome, raw performances! I felt very lucky to have spontaneously dropped by that day. ALSO the root beer or soda floats that they do are super yummy if you have a big sweet tooth like me or don’t drink alcohol but still want to support an awesome establishment.
