Helping consolidate the eastward expansion of Shoreditch nightlife, the promoter of the Mulletover warehouse parties has now opened his very own pub on Bethnal Green Road. As you might expect, the involvement of Rob Hives makes music programming – as well as the reputedly rather good jukebox – important strings to the Star's bow.
It doesn't look like things will get too Barley-esque though: the space is essentially traditional, although fashionably stripped back, and Hives says he's aiming to create a broad appeal that makes the Star a good local pub rather than just a trendy destination.
