Starline Social Club Review - Uptown - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Starline Social Club is a bar, a restaurant, a concert venue (Solange once performed here), and a place to dance to everything from R&B to pop to EDM, depending on the night. It’s also the spot where everyone knows everyone - where you learn that Oakland is big, but can feel very small. There are so many ways to use Starline: you could stop in for a really good cocktail and corn dogs in the big, airy bar during Happy Hour, or work up a sticky dance sweat in their ballroom upstairs. Starline is whatever you want it to be, and more importantly, it’s still one of the most culturally-diverse places in the city." - Lani Conway

Midterm Election Results: Where to Watch, Eat, and Drink | Eater SF

"Oakland bar and music venue Starline Social Club is hosting one of the Bay Area’s more formal election night events, “Can Democracy Work?” In addition to watching the returns, you’ll consider the state of American democracy during a discussion led by two political scientists and philosophers, James Miller, author of the just-released Can Democracy Work? A Short History of a Radical Idea, from Ancient Athens to Our World, and Hans Sluga, professor of philosophy at UC Berkeley. It lasts from 7 to 9 p.m. and is free to attend." - Janelle Bitker

Caffe Roma Has Closed in North Beach After All - Eater SF

"“Natty wine,” the affectionate nickname for wines made with low-intervention (e.g. no use of preservatives like sulfites) is growing in popularity with California winemakers. The SF Chronicle’s wine writer Esther Mobley shares some thoughts on the matter following Brumaire, the natural wine fair at Oakland’s Starline Social Club that drew hundreds (with a wait list of hundreds more) of fans of the genre." - Ellen Fort

This venue is amazing great food, great cocktails, and even more amazing service. I was there during happy hour very lively. I’d like to go back and see a show upstairs in the iconic star line social club..

A New Favorite Spot Acapella nails the vibe—dark, green, and mysterious, with R&B that sets the perfect tone. Umar took amazing care of us and made an insanely good filthy martini. Sadie was kind and receptive (even when we paused mid-order to catch up—thank you!). Don’t be put off by the area—there’s a bouncer at the door, and it’s totally safe and welcoming inside. Cocktails are shockingly affordable for how polished the space feels. We’re especially excited for the upstairs concert venue to open soon. Acapella is already a standout—Skyline doesn’t compare.

Wednesday night extremely rude disrespectful bartender disaster. Really expected better at least decent service like the positive experience the past night with the other bartender Crystal. She was great. But this one on Wednesday Bartender was drinking shots back to back drunk, sniffing drinks she was serving like she wanted that also, giving me an attitude when she broke a glass and shards were every where near my drink and I kindly asked her to make another. She thought that was unnecessary but it wasn’t cuz she was intoxicated and I was seeing all the debris all around the drink. She slammed all the cups around and mouthed off like I was inconveniencing her. This is after she took at least 12 minutes to acknowledge me to start my drink. I explained if I was making a drink for someone I wouldn’t do that like that. She huffed and puffed and was irate and angry. Then she was telling other patrons I was “ trippin “ when I was out front when she was explaining that she was cleaning area up with the glass. Not good at all. This type of behavior in a service setting or any is unacceptable

Food until 1am?! Beautiful and KIND servers?! I'm hooked - I loved Starline but my experience here has been 10/10! Every bartender has been kind and attentive without me even having to ask. I will recommend to everyone I know - pull up yall!!

I will never attend this place again ...The staff overcharged my card three times and on top that the charges are still pending. They have not attempted to repayment, there was little to no remorse about this incident . The bar owner or Person in Charge had the audacity to ask me to pay additional 17 dollars when my card been charged already 160 dollars .. I'm very disappointed as this was our first time at this new establishment I would never trust to then to keep and open tab ..I hoping they replace my payment soon I need All my monies back...sad 😭

This place is new and is figuring out their menu still. The food was good but it felt as though it was trying to be better than what it actually was. I look forward to seeing this place blossom. The drinks were great and the people were wonderful.
