It was a great building, great space. But vibe was commercial, but didn't deliver. Menu sucks,. Staff was inexperienced.Frat buy vibes.

My goodness!! Where to even begin!! ?? #1TOP PRIORITY bathrooms SOOO very clean!! Wishing there were more stalls (and perhaps there were, I didn't ask) If you're a pool player, you'll be wondering why this hasn't been your getaway into a sea of 7' #Diamond pool tables covered in Simonis championship cloth, with bonus 8' and 9' tables! Writing this, I am nearly drooooling (not over the tables though!!) I had seen two separate Facebook posts advertising this establishment that made it appear as though the Saloon and Billiards area were maybe two separate entities maybe under the same roof.I visited yesterday before a tournament at another location as a reconnaissance mission of sorts. See, I'll be playing on a team at Silver Star beginning next week. I'm a self-described ambivert, so to eliminate the anxiety of trying to remember all new names, get my bearings, AND demonstrate the team made a good choice selecting me, I needed to eliminate one part of the "new-ness," ( think: being the new kid in middle school before knowing anyone). Now, I am a natural blonde, and have experienced a complicated entry into a "secret bar" back in the midwest where patron watch the vestibule captured with CCTV as the door person requests the hopeful entrant to do silly human tricks as the bar giggles and commiserates over a drink when finally enter. I entered the vestibule which clearly "open" and located conveniently very near the single disabled parking spot. Through the vestibule to a second door labeled "lLounge,". Mercy-me if I saw no pool tables when I had predicted (and was informed of) a great number of pool tables. Didn't see 'em, thought I may have missed the pool hall section entrance,...I fortunately do not embarrass easily, because I tried 3 other sets of doors that I thought just *had* to lead to my billiards nirvana. When I went back to the initial entrance and walked through the "Lounge" doors, laughing at myself, I INSTANTLY felt at home!! Very lovely bartender Annie fessing up to the value in entertainment revolved around confused pool addicts trying to enter. A few patrons joined in , introducing themselves and immediately helping me to feel relaxed, part of the group, and I'm in love! I didn't eat there but Annie made a great drink, I noticed a few people off-track horse race betting, a wall of electronic dart boards and 2 dart boards for steel-tipped darts. Dart leagues were about to begin, not very many pool players were there at that afternoon hour, though I'm sure weekends are packed. Ed runs a 9-ball tournament every Saturday night, though May 11th, there will be a memorial tournament honoring a pool player in the Vancouver community who had passed away. If you go to Silver Star and are bored, then just shut your pocket and leave the vibe fun and friendly. There's something for everyone: pinball, 2 separate jukeboxes (two sets of speaker systems), so be care when choosing your jukebox from the TouchTunes App. There are bar stools, chairs, small & larger booths, and sections that give me the impression that even on a very crowded night, nobody would be tripping over one another. I noticed their menu features breakfast until 4pm, for a night owl like me, that just doubled my love for this place!! Definitely a place I'll be proud to play for, and perhaps one day I'll be allowed the opportunity to become a marketing partner with! BLOWN AWAY!! 6/5 Thanks for your service, Annie! Tell your Dad, don't change a thing, (except maybe adding a couple restrooms, unless there already are and I just didn't look for nor see additional water-closets) If there's just one women's and one men's restrooms, the line must get quite long at large events ‍ read more

Silver Star Saloon - Bar (long side looking from the portion of establishment near the pool tables) - American Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I had a man kick me out because i was simply watching him lose a game of pool. Apparently he worked there so it was ok to him. I would understand if I was causing a commotion, started a fight, or what not. Sadly that is not the case here. People like that are not good for business. read more

Atmosphere is good a lot of good vibes plenty of league plays here good is great staff is great

Yummy grub and priced affordably. Casual environment to enjoy shooting pool. Friendly folks!

Stopped in here for a beer and a shot (or few) with my buddy. Great service. Tons of pool tables. Lots of room for activities. I had the bacon burger with tots. Pretty tasty. I hope to try their nachos on my next visit. Kind of western themed (I'd be surprised given the name if they weren't) They offer horse track gambling (Atleast they were when I was there) Great staff. Great selection of beer on tap. They have Boneyard IPA. That's always a plus. read more

Silver Star Saloon - a pint of beer and a shot of whiskey - American Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Good food and drinks. Spacious!!!! Service was great. Had a Birthday gathering for my daughter there. Great time! The staff was accommodating.. even on a busy pool night. read more

So this place has all the pool tables in the city! Well you would think they have over 15 tables. They take quarters which is nice and 50 cents a game. What a deal. This place came recommended from a fellow Bartender at Wild Fin on the waterfront. It has a nice jukebox that has a variety of music! Oldies and more! The prices of the drinks and food were reasonable. I had a great time here. Not to mention the Bar Staff was super nice! I'll be back to play some pool, have a cocktail and some munchies the menu looked good. As I didn't eat when I was here. I do like how spacious it is! Until next time! read more

See all

Buyer Beware! This was the second time my tab didn't match what I had. First time I let them gaslight me into thinking I had it wrong. This time I paid attention. Somehow 5 beers came to $42.95. The safest bet is to close your tab each time or pay cash. Maybe wait till the end of your night to tip. If you do run a tab it's a good idea to ask for an itemized list of what they are charging you for before they cash you out. Don't worry about holding up the line asking questions because they're slow anyway. Parking is very limited. read more

The food here is good for bar food:) has a pretty decent menu, the drinks are amazing and bartenders are beautiful fun people!!!! Adore Lita and is a gem and seriously the best! Miguel is pretty awesome too!!! And has a great sense of humor! Great place to catch up with friends and play pool and karaoke nights too! read more

Great place to play pool and have drinks too. The karaoke is what it is... thankfully it doesn't overwhelm the pool playing side of the house. The appetizer plate we had was fine. The bartenders were good, seemed hyper-focused on the next drink which is understandable in their profession and this economy. The most enjoyable staff member we encountered was the brand new security guy turned bar-back who clearly had a lot experience as he took every situation in stride and was a true professional all evening. read more

Called in to make an order at 530pm on a Wednesday, was asked to hold and seemed to have been forgotten while the phone rested on the table. Hung up after 7 minutes of waiting. No idea if the food is worth it because I'll never know, I just wanted some fish and chips. read more

It says they close at 2am but they will kick you out at 1:20am so they can get out early. Change your google maps hours than if that's the case..... haven't been to a bar that kicks you out more than 30 minutes before closing .... And yell at you at the same time read more

This place is not a good place. Drugs in the bathroom. It was a good place to go to for food. Service went downhill.

Soooo... this used to be a fun place. But not anymore. The service has become non existent. If you do finally make your way to the bar to order a drink they are not friendly. Ppl are doing drugs in the restrooms. It is unfortunate because we used to go there and have a lot of fun! You need to change things Silver Star!! Only gave this establishment a 1 star rating because it made me...this is a ZERO star place!!! read more

Vanities this establishment on 06/06 and will not be returning. Took 10 mins to be acknowledged at the bar too for a drink. Took another 15 for us to get their attention to order food after we asked the bartender what she'd recommend and had the menus out (they came for the empty cup not to take our order) and from 6:59-8:10pm they took to cook 2 baby burgers and chicken sliders. When asked during the time how much longer they continued to say not much li BFF we and yours is next a las it never was "next". When I asked the manager if she thought it was an acceptable wait time for 2 items to take over an hour she said "well they are busy" when they were NOT too busy at all. I feel like they lost my ticket and didn't own it or offer a comp or condolence for the experience being shit over all. Not a good eating spot, not get for service. Not great parking over all I would recommend the spot down the road over this dying one due to their employees not taking care of the customers. read more

Some of the most horrible customer service i ever had. Guy at the bar acted like he didnt want to serve me and my friend when we first walked which, we were like cool we will just get our drink and enjoys our selves. I ended up going back to the bar and waited patiently for 10-15 minutes without being served. Within this time the guy bartender served the young lady next to me but didnt acknowledged me. He looked at me several time whiles on his phone and talking/playing with coworkers. So im guessing one of the bartenders friend walked up (two seats down on the other side of the lady next to me). The guy bartender walked up and shakes his hands and proceeds to tale his order. This is when i lost it! I managed to track another bartender down and asked her to closes out my ticket. As soon as she handed my receipt i asked about getting change for pool. She told me 2 twice to go the the back bar and i told her both times it was closed. And her was reply was "well you're going to have to wait in line" haha! Really?! After i just sat in line all this time and you literally just closed put my tab. Yeeaaaa this place is a JOKE and i will never go back or recommend to anyone read more

Except if you love karaoke then stay clear of this joint. Other than that it's great in every way.

This place advertises pool, darts , karaoke, otb, and horses. I drove down here from tri cities. Just to let you know there are no horses!!!! read more

Silver Star Saloon - American Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Awesome dive bar, pool table & karaoke was fun. Great place for cheap drinks definitely. Our bartender Lita was awesome as well.

So recently this place did a style update. It is now known as the Silver Star Saloon and the outside was done up to look like a red barn. Seriously. This didn't change their customers or make it any more busy that I've seen but whatever. read more

Horrible place, they discriminated my nephew who has special needs and they didn't bother to ask questions. They told the "bouncer" to escort us out and I left willingly. Very rude in my opinion.. bartender was a total B: read more

This place was one of the worst country bars I have ever been. Bartenders were rude to my brother and friends. They acted like we were inconveniencing them by trying to order food and drinks. The person running the karaoke was completely rude as my friends asked to play a couple songs we could dance to as it was my birthday. They tipped $20 dollars to convince them, and he only did so very grudgingly. I get it's karaoke night but to switch it up here and there wouldn't have been so awful. One song was played only to be cut off in the middle of our second song that was requested as we are in the middle of the dance floor. Then proceeded to come on the microphone and say this isnt what Saturday nights are for at the Silver Star. I guess this bar doesn't like paying/dancing customers. If you are looking to have fun, drink and dance this bar is NOT the place!!! read more

Wow! What a well rounded bar! Huge place with room for everything & everybody! Lots of pool tables, lots of dart boards and a place to make bets. Haven't tried the food yet, but anyplace with a tuna melt on the menu is my kind of bar. I was impressed with how clean the bathroom was! Great coffee nudge! I'll be back to try the food & Karaoke! read more

The chicken mushroom soup I got here is the best I've ever had. I have a culinary degree and am very impressed. The bartender said Ahlea made it, and now I want her to be my new best friend. read more

The food is not very good and the blonde bartender makes you feel like your bothering her by being there. We keep trying this place out because it's so close to our house but tonight was the last time. The karaoke host barely allows anyone that's not a regular to sing. I just think they need friendlier bartenders and better food and maybe I would.go back. read more

Not a bad divey karaoke bar with a decent menu and a good selection of beers on tap. The night I was there they had a color wheel at the bar, where the color you landed on (red, green, etc) was mixed with Long Island mixers for $4.50. Pool tables galore, dart boards and a diverse crowd who came out to karaoke made this a fun evening. read more

I would say it's like a neighborhood bar. They had karaoke that night I was there.I am personally not huge fan of karaoke,but to each his own. it's not a bad place it's not a great place it's OK. We sat at the bar the bartenders were not over attentive by any means as in it took a while to flag them down to get drinks/ refills read more

Average bar nothing special,kinda hole in the wall but ok. Server is really nice. Place to have a quiet drink with friends

I had an excellent experience singing karaoke at this spot!! Outstanding DJ!! Friendly and welcoming environment!!

Best neighborhood bar ever. Gets super busy on weekends. Pool, off track betting, yummy bar food, good basic drinks. No corking, though. I would love to see them allow me to bring in a good bottle of wine and charge a corking fee, but can't talk 'em into it! Still, wins the neighborhood bar award! read more

I have been going to this place for nearly 2 years now. All of the bartenders knew me by name almost immediately after I started going there. They have their regulars and I have only seen one fight the entire time I have been going there. I am a regular. The person below said the chicken strips are poor. Not at all! They use franks red hot in the batter and the strips are great in size. They give you what you pay for there and that is great. Yes, it is your typical bar food. But my boyfriend and I have went in there just to have dinner before. They have karaoke almost 7 days a week, unless there is a band on Saturday nights. Melinda is great! Tries her best to get people in the karaoke mood, so long as they cooperate. She doesn't complain when you ask when you're up next either. She KJ's Thursday through Saturday night. There is PLENTY of seating and 7 pool tables. The bar itself is a great size too. Drink prices are good also. read more

The KJ Saturday night was great. He made sure the huge list of people got there songs in a timely manner. The staff is friendly and awesome but the sample platter was nasty old dry food. $15 I expected decent food and got shit. Very disappointed. read more

Went on a Wednesday night after playing card games at Dice Age Games (down the road). Walked in and saw a large group playing poker, which was a good sign that they were gamer-friendly. They have a nice selection of beer on tap. Not amazing, but good for a divey bar. There was some karaoke going on and a nice large dance floor where the singers were doing their thing. We sat in the back in the booths next to the pool tables, which seemed to be in good shape. Once a patron asked us if we were playing Pokemon (we weren't) and later one of the bartenders asked if we were playing Magic: The Gathering (we weren't, either). Apparently there is a group of Magic players that is trying to get a meetup going on there on Sunday mornings. So, this place is definitely gamer-friendly! We had a nice time and will definitely be going back to play games and drink some beer. Oh, and we also had the chicken strips, which were pretty poor, but its dive bar food, what would you expect? read more

Friendly place, good drinks, clean, and fun. We sang some karaoke, had some beers, and played dice at the table. There were darts and pool tables, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Looked like a mix of regulars and people just stopping in for a couple drinks. read more

I have been coming here for awhile. They have a large following of karaoke lovers. Music is always good. They know how to make you sound professional. They are happy to wait on you . Large environment to play pool, darts, dance no judgement here. Just fun read more

Unfortunately the food is good not great. Very unusual not to get toast with breakfast the help is very nice

My friend and I stopped in for a quick beer on a rainy Saturday afternoon. We sat at the bar for almost 10 minutes and not once did the bartender acknowledge us or indicate that he would be right there to take our order. It was there loss though since we took our business to the spot and had a fantastic time. What a disappointment. read more

It's a serviceable dive bar right off HWY 500. The highlight of Silverstar Saloon would be the amount of pool tables and dart boards. From what I recall, there are about six of each. So that means no long waits in order to play some games. I believe darts are free and pool will cost you $0.50 per game. There's nothing particularly special about this place, but nothing particularly bad either. It's in a convenient location, has cheap drinks, so-so food, bad karaoke (at least from what I've heard), and some folks who shouldn't have been served so much. But, it's very much a dive bar, so you learn to take the good with the bad with the average and just relax. There's one large TV behind the bar, but it's rarely on. So, if you're hoping to "catch the game", then this isn't the place for you. But if you're just wanted to hang with some buds and maybe shoot some pool or attempt to sing, this hits the spot while doing so with a very "casual" vibe. More of a "home sweet home" type of place rather than a "destination" type of place, if that makes sense. You come here to relax, not to party on the town. And sometimes that's all we really want and need. read more
