Electric Star Pubs is an independent group of distinctive, community-rooted venues. We believe the people make the pub.
The Star by Hackney Downs is a vibrant E5 neighbourhood staple—a creative, park-side hub known for incredible community events, brilliant local DJ nights, and a buzzing outdoor terrace. From afternoon park-goers to late-night weekend party crowds, we are the beating heart of the local community.
