Beginner’s Square Dancing Night

I stopped here with some friends and really felt uncomfortable the whole time. Everyone was giving me weirdddd energy and staring. I asked one of my friends (white) if they felt similar they said they didn’t know what I was talking about. Let me phrase it like this, do you see me staring at every white person that enters a free salsa dancing class? No. Some of you just need to check yourself 😔💔

My visit to the starry plow was a great experience they had a DJ playing and it was an open atmosphere they had good drinks on tap alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I ordered the Irish mac and cheese and the fried chicken sandwich non spicy with garlic fries and everything was delicious

came here on a monday night for free group Irish dancing class. It was very packed but I think that made it better because half the people have no clue what they're doing and the other half is ok and the other quarter is actually good and can teach those that are learning. Super friendly environment and a great little spot. Yummy chicken tenders and fun live Irish dancing music.

Great vibes, friendly people, fun events! The Irish dance lessons are so fun- very beginner-friendly! I’d definitely come back to try more. Also love the values of this place- really a space for community, art, and advocating for liberation- so cool to see and get to support.

Edit: I had the chance to watch a Wednesday poetry slam and it was Amazing! The featured poet, Brandon Leake, had WON America’s got talent so I knew he’d be amazing but every other poet there held their own and delivered such awesome, raw performances! I felt very lucky to have spontaneously dropped by that day. ALSO the root beer or soda floats that they do are super yummy if you have a big sweet tooth like me or don’t drink alcohol but still want to support an awesome establishment.

Loved my experience both as an artist and as a patron!

I was there for the Irish Ceilidh dancing every Monday night. Lesson for beginners, some dances for beginners and for advanced. Everyone welcome. Wonderful live music. This is the real traditional Irish dance. They have their own style, like a village in County Clare in Ireland might have. They have been doing this at The Starry Plough for 50 years. And this is just the Monday night I am raving about. Check out their calendar for other music and events.
