Official World Famous Drive Invasion

09/13/2022

Unfortunately, the rumors you’ve been hearing are true. There are active talks between Point Center Partners and Third & Urban to demolish the building occupied by Star Community Bar which may be replaced with three story retail and office spaces.

We are in active talks with the development team regarding the proposed new venture and of the future of the Star Bar. Saving the building and preserving the history is the preferred option, but that may not be possible. They have offered us a place in the new development, but we have not made a decision on what the future may hold for us. Talks are active, and are amicable for all involved. Even though we may not be pleased with the current situation, we are looking at options, having talks, and determining the best path forward.

As the current owners of the business, we have kept up to date on all lease obligations per our agreement with Point Center Partners.

Thank you to all our friends, loyal supporters, bands and performers who have made the Star Bar an Atlanta institution for 31 years. Thank you also for all the kind words, the petitions, and the chatter on Social Media. Please make a point to come visit, we haven’t given up and neither should you!

When we have more information, we will let everyone know.


We ain’t dead yet,

Jackson, Dusty, Bruce & Luke

Last year we set-up a drive-in (all labor and materials donated) for refugee children at International Community School in Atlanta and projected The Lion King. It was magical seeing the smiles of these wonderful children who have escaped the horrors of war-torn countries. We're doing it again. 100% of donations go directly to helping with their school lunch assistance and educational field trips. No administrative B.S. We donate the time, sweat and materials. So please join us in creating a new generation of drive-in fans. It's tax deductible and even $5 helps. We'll post tons of photos from the event this month. You can contribute here:
