The Sea Star

The Sea Star is one of those bars that feels like home on the first visit. Tucked in Dogpatch, it’s low-key and welcoming without ever feeling sleepy. Drinks are strong and reasonably priced, especially the beer-and-shot combo that keeps locals happy. The pool table adds a casual hangout vibe, and there’s always solid music playing. The staff is the right mix of chill and attentive — they make you feel like a regular even if you’re not. It’s the kind of spot you pop into for one drink and leave hours later. The lighting is soft, the mood relaxed, and the crowd is easygoing. Not a scene, not a dive, just a really good bar. You’ll want to come back.
