The Starline Excursion had a great Vintage Shop Hop! Very cool building and very unusual merchandise.

I thought this place would be a big draw. Not bad, but not what I expected. Hope it gets more vendors in the spring. Also, a nice restaurant attached. Got my fingers crossed for ya. Will check in again.

We got married at the Starline Factory last year, and I can’t say enough about how amazing our day was. The venue is absolutely beautiful with the perfect amount of industrial feel with the history of the building. Our coordinator Robie made sure everything went smooth from all the planning for our day, to day of organization. We received some many compliments about how beautiful and perfect our day was!

We had our wedding here in November, and it was amazing! The food was great, the vendors that we were recommended by the venue were great, and Robi (the event coordinator) was simply out of this world! She was so sweet throughout the entire process, and worked with us to make everything fit perfectly together! My husband and I definitely recommend this venue if you are looking for a wedding, or other type of event!

This is an awesome venue! I'm not from Harvard, so I don't know the history, but stepping inside makes you wonder what was made and who worked there.Ok, enough of that. We were there for the live music and the space to dance. There is an art show and live music on the 4th Friday most months except December and January. Many of the acts are quite danceable. We glance at the art, and the art enthusiasts are quite friendly. We highly recommend spending an evening at The Starline.

We had our wedding here. It was incredible. Not only was the venue beautiful but our food was amazing. Our wedding coordinator, Robi, was fantastic. So lovely to work with and very chill, which we appreciated. The staff was also so amazing! From the chef, to the bar tenders - they were great.

This review is for the Stanchion Pub restaurant that is in the Starline Factory.Not a big menu, but reasonably priced, well made food in a nice atmosphere. Tables are nicely spaced out so you feel you have some privacy. They can accommodate larger parties as well.

As a photographer, this location was so fun! So many different options for photo locations inside and out. Perfect for my brick meets greenery 2023 vibes! And tons of space!
Great pub, great food in Harvard! The chef, Colin is super creative and adds specials every week. You can go in on the second Friday and feast on a large buffet, and late night hours on the 4th Friday art event each month. I'm an artist in the building and have a studio there- I often come down for a carry out. Don't miss the outdoor terrace! Outstanding service too!
Its Just Me
I love this place! We come for the Starline 4th Friday Art Show. We just never know what great art we are going to experience but it’s an adventure every time. The whole building is an adventure. It’s very inspirational to see how they magically transformed this old factory into something with new life and energy. Love how they respected the history but designed it to be a functional productive artistic space. Harvard is absolutely a place to spend time. We drive from Rockford and it’s worth the trip. My only feedback for Starline would be to expand the dining options for gluten-free and vegetarian. Also have the full menu and bars available throughout the time of the art show. They close down during the show and we got there right after 8:00. We needed to eat so had to leave the venue early to go find an open restaurant in the neighborhood.

My husband and I got married at The Starline Factory in August 2022 and the day couldn't have been anymore perfect. All the staff was great! Everyone was super helpful and made the day run incredibly smooth. The food provided by Starline was absolutely amazing our guests couldn't stop commenting about how it was some of the best wedding food they have ever had. Everything was delicious and came out hot! The picture spots at Starline are like no other! Between the ivy walls outside to the rustic industrial vibe inside there are so many picture perfect opportunities! Overall I was so pleased with choosing to have our wedding at The Starline Factory! I wouldn't change a thing!
