We didn't eat on this occasion. However, we have done so in the past and it's always been nice.
Whenever we visit Gibraltar, a visit to the Star Bar is a must. It's changed from what I remember as a kid (make over) but still holds all the charm it had originally and what makes it a great stop for food and drinks.
The staff are absolutely lovely and often rushed off their feet, as locals know the place well and tourists flock to Gibs oldest bar! I'd always recommend a visit to the star bar when in town, as it really is special.

Huge portions of cheap priced, and quality food.
I had the roast which was huge, but the meat dry and over cooked. As roasts go it was pretty good
But the burger was incredibly cheap quality and not worth the money.
Two of the staff were lovely, but one of the other ladies really looked like she hated everyone for some reason.
The venue is clean and spacious with loads of seating, nice atmosphere, reasonable prices (for Gibraltar) but high for the quality of the dishes.

A hidden gem in the vibrant city atmosphere – this bar is perfectly located between the streets of Gibraltar, where urban energy meets relaxed vibes. The service is excellent, the staff friendly and efficient, and the food is a true culinary delight. A great spot to unwind with a drink or enjoy a delicious meal. Highly recommended!

First time here in Gibraltar, first, drink in a bar and overall OK, bar staff prompt. Great day out, back to Spain later. Didn't have food, so I can't comment, although other customers were eating, Fidh and Chips. It's worth a visit 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Star Bar = 1 Star.
The last time I went here I gave it three stars 3/5. That was in 2019. Thought I'd pay a visit and get a coffee and some toast. The coffee came, I drank it. No toast. I decided to pay for the coffee and leave. As I was at the bar waiting to pay they brought the toast out. A full 10 minutes after I ordered it. I declined it.
Why did it take so long to make a piece of toast? Two possible things could have happened. Maybe the kitchen were extremely slow (they were not busy), or didn't have the recipe for toast to hand. However I suspect the toast was made pronto, and ended up sitting in the kitchen while the TABLE STAFF WAS OUTSIDE THE FRONT OF THE CAFE HAVING A SMOKE.
It could be another 6 years before I go there again.
Hence my "Star Bar = 1 Star"
Edit. 1 hour after posting. Just read a few other reviews mentioning the staff more interested in smoking and phone use than doing their job. So it's not just me then.

Had lunch in there on Saturday and the bar lady was way more interested in her phone and smoking cigarettes outside. People trying to pay, every table had to ask for the bill/menu’s/coffee etc. Food was decent but the service was useless. The only girl there was USELESS. Put your phone away and smoke on your break. Talk to customers…..at least to do your job! I’d go back but I’ll turn right around if I see it’s her working!

The service was good and we had our food and drinks out promptly. Lovely little bar with relaxing music. The chicken wings were nice but on the smaller side - I've seen pigeons with bigger wings than what was served on our plate. There are two condiment options complementing the wings - sweet chilli or BBW (big beautiful wings?) which we later found out was HP sauce. We sat inside in the corner and my girlfriend found herself hitting her arm on the low shelf. Probably could do with moving the tables away from the wall to prevent this from happening. If you were on the larger side, I don't think you would be able to navigate around the restaurant as the seating area is cramped.

The oldest bar in Gibraltar even though it woukd be hard to tell from the decor. The atmosphere was pleasant with a great central location
