I would not be writing this if I hadn't JUST received a denial of a refund for an event I had to cancel my ticket on back in OCTOBER! I bought the ticket on October 21, 2023, and I requested the refund on the day of the event due to illness, which was October 27, 2023. Today is MARCH 8, 2024!!! I finally got an email saying, "Sorry but we paid the band before this request was made." So you paid the band on the morning of the event? I would hope you'd have paid them by the end of the night, at the very least, but to email me at this point and give me this load of BS is inexcusable. I figured out back in November that I wasn't getting a refund, thanks for that. Why bother at this point? My health is still in decline months later, so I sure didn't need the reminder that I missed yet another event thanks to long COVID! I think I've said all I can say without the review being taken down for use of profanity, so in closing, even if I could travel to Berkeley, I'd skip The Starry Plough. It's far too cramped and the restrooms are horrendous, anyway. Here's the email I received, copied and pasted: Your refund request has been declined. Message from Starry Plough: "Sorry but we paid the band before this request was made."

Went a little too early for the full-on Irish dancing but we did see the lessons. The shepherds pie was delicious. Parking is a challenge.

I Just started coming here since they started having the Blues every 2nd Friday of the month which started in Dec I come early to find a park which is hard to find I enjoyed the food and the non alcohol drinks and the atmosphere they were charging a $5 service charge for people that get there early before the band plays on my 3 time coming they are now charging $10-$20 in which me and girlfriend of mine paid the $10 another friend came later and the charge was $20 in which he left then I see another people claiming to be part of the band and their is no charge this kind of behavior shows me this is not the place I need be at and will not recommended to others

Food , service , ambience , history , rebellious sacred duty , this place carries all that within it's walls . Go there . Experience it .
Great band on New Years Eve, just enough crowd to feel the energy but enough room to dance it out. Seems everybody knows this place.
