Live at the Star

When the
music is on

We host live music from time to time, and when we do it runs late. Every gig is announced on our socials, so that is the place to watch.

The short answer

Yes, we host live music

Star Bar hosts live music occasionally rather than to a fixed weekly timetable. Every gig is announced on our socials, so keep an eye on Instagram and Facebook for any and all upcoming events. If you would rather ask a person, call the bar.

    Call the bar and whoever picks up will tell you what is coming up and whether the kitchen is still on that night.

Coming up

Who is playing

There is no fixed weekly line-up to publish. When we book an act we post it on the Star Bar Instagram and Facebook pages, so follow those and you will see every gig as it is confirmed. You can also call the bar on (03) 6331 6111 and ask what is coming up.

If you are eating before a gig, a restaurant booking is worth making. The kitchen closes at 8.30pm and the room tends to fill before the first set.

If you play

We are always listening

Star Bar has put northern Tasmanian musicians in front of a room for decades, and that is not going to stop. If you play, or you book bands, get in touch. Solo, duo, four-piece, loud, quiet: the room takes all of it.

Some of the best nights here started as a quiet drink

Open seven days, and every so often there is a band in the corner.
