The Stardust Club

Pretty dead for a Saturday night. Truly feel the security is overkill due to no one being here. Maybe it gets better after 10pm. Had 1 beer and left. Didn't even stay to play pool. Looks and feels old.

Hole in the wall dive bar. Older lady that drives a blue old car and paints her hair blond always looks angry. If you are looking for a drink with better ambiance and service keep driving down the road. If you're ok to just have a quick drink this is not a bad option. Same lady is always harassing people about parking directly in front of the bar. Only she likes to park there. Yet the people that go to this bar take up the entire parking lot for the other businesses at this lot.

I gave this place 5 stars because I'm very partial to hole-in-the wall bars. Is this place a dive? No. It's got dance and live music in its DNA. Remove the stage and 11/10 it's a dive.

i went to this place with a buddy, the security guard, and the two bartenders who helped me all did not check my ID to enter or buy beer. my friend and i both purchased a beer for $6 each and apple payed the lady bartender for them. about an hour later after talking and playing pool we went to grab another round from a different bartender, manny, and he tried charging us each $7! when i mentioned how they were $6 earlier he said it was because of happy hour but he'd charge us $6 BUT the signs in the bar says that happy hour is $5 beer so someone's lying somewhere. that's not all and this is bigger. while waiting for my nearly $7 beer manny and another guy who i would find out was the owner of the bar started making jokes that everything they touch at the bar has STD's! manny went to grab the owners phone to change the music in the bar and the owner said "don't touch that! everything has STD's here!". lastly, i am anemic. i crave and chew ice. i went up to the bar and asked manny for a cup of ice after already purchasing drinks and the guy next to him says "why do you need a cup of ice? what? do you have a bottle? i'm the owner of this bar and if you have a bottle i'll have you kicked out!" THEN i was ID'd by him after already being let in and buying drinks. after he finished yelling at me, as i walked away, i overheard him call me a douchebag to manny. terrible vibes, terrible service, terrible atmosphere. you're better off buying a drink from the sweet lady at the liquor store a few shops over and drinking out front.

Cozy dive for a drink or three. Live music, pool, TV. Great pour, bottled beer, shot specials. You can't go wrong.

Never, ever again. Black listed.I tried to ignore the Yelp reviews to go enjoy some karaoke with a friend of mine who was only in town for the weekend. We arrived to a tired strip mall in Downey at approximately 9:30PM. As soon as we entered our friends joked that it would take an age to get a drink and to order three beers at a time. They weren't kidding. We attempted to order our second round and the person behind the bar served all of the males in our group cold beers and handed me a room temperature bottle. I took one sip and realized I couldn't drink it; when I asked for a replacement she slammed the new one down on the bar and simply said "$3.00". If there were cold beers then why the hell would you serve me a warm one to begin with?I had her put the warm one on ice and drank the cold one. Not a single tip was given that night (all puns aside). We left and never to return. #bythelightoftheATM****a mere hours after this review was posted someone sweetly created a profile just to send me a private message calling me a "bicth". Thanks for taking the time out of your day to think of me! :-*

Oh the Stardust. We've played here twice now and its been okay. We only book here because we play with a band that LOVES it here, we're not sure why, but hey a show is a show. The Venue:Its dark, the bar is large and there is a seating area in front of the stage along with a backroom with pool tables. The Stage: I'm not a fan of this stage. The boards are creaky and I always feel like i might fall thru. Scary times.The Sound:They have a PA that no one can ever seem to figure out. I played half of a show with minimal/no vocals. The stage is set up oddly that when the sound projects it bounces back and there is a little weirdness for the drummers. The Bar:We didn't even get free water bottles. This place doesn't hook it up. Parking:Parking sucks here. Its in a mini mall type of strip and there is parking in front of different stores but its usually crowded.

DO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THIS PLACE OR THESE PEOPLE. the owners, Gloria and manny who are mother and son, are crooks. they ask for a $250 deposit from the bands to cover any damages, saying it will be returned at the end of the night. they refused to return the $250 deposit not because of damages, but because they didn't clear $1500 at the bar. that was never communicated. Gloria and manny are rude, unprofessional and are liars.

Came to shoot pool and it was ok at the beginning because it was empty. Towards the end of the night we didn't know the table counter that leans along the window was loose and broken until after we leaned on it and it knocked down our full beer. The older blonde lady at the bar refused to replace the beer that fell due to their broken counter and was rude about it. I tried to give this place a chance but it's still the worst bar in Downey.

The sound here for bands playing is a disaster holy shit. Worse than a backyard show and no one knows how to work anything
