"It can be hard to spend an evening in Gaslamp Quarter without emptying your wallet, but at the unpretentious Star Bar you can still get an honest pour for some of the lowest prices downtown. A mainstay of the neighborhood for over a half-century, Star Bar’s low-key atmosphere and friendly bartenders make it a favorite for locals of all ages. Every Monday is Industry Night with $5 Jameson shots, pool, and pinball. Best of all, it’s pet-friendly, so bring your dog out for a night of fun." - Mary Beth Abate
