Stars Beach Club

As a seasoned gay woman and a recent homeowner on the island, i am pleased to say i am a fan of Stars. Over my years of visiting gay bars, I have encountered women not being very welcomed at predominantly male gay bars. I have been to Stars with gays as well as straights and i can confirm we were all treated equally. During an unexpected stop there around Thanksgiving, my friend and I were invited by staff and friends of Stars to partake in a potluck dinner. We were unaware of their festive get together and had no meals of our own to offer. No matter, we were welcomed just the same. Since then, I have made it a point to patronize this friendly, fun and festive spot whenever I am on the island. I have read a review of staff not offering info on other gay bars on the island. I can say, not only was I offered suggestions of other gay spots, I was even offered directions. Stars... just keep doing what you're doing, you offer the friendliness of a corner bar and the zest of a dance party!

My husband and I, on part of our honeymoon, went to this bar after a bad experience with drinks at 3rd Coast Bar - details in that review. The drinks were stronger than normal and noticeably cheaper. There was toe tapping good dance music by the DJ. The bartenders were friendly. The drag show was good. When we come back to Galveston we will go to this bar again.

Stars Beach Club will always hold a special place in my heart, no homo.

 After my friends and I were drinking 40s on the beach, we decided to walk into Stars. Best decision I've ever made but that says more about me then it does about the bar. Their happy hour starts at noon and ends at 8. I was drinking draft Blue Moon for $2.75 a piece on a Saturday on the seawall. Good times.

Also, they tolerated our generally deviant attitude. Even encouraged it. They have an open air deck that is great for yelling at women as they walk by. I was the DD so I stopped drinking after 3 or 4 beers but my friends were drinking whiskey and cokes and said that the bartender/gay dude makes a great drink.

So why 4 stars and not 5? The creepy old guy sitting next to our table who was slyly flashing his penis. I mean, I get it, we're all hot meat but the whole thing came off as just a bit tacky.

All and all I will absolutely return. I didn't mind the decor but that's because I really like exposed wiring. I can't wait to go back and see the drag/laser light show.
