3.5 stars.
This place should change it's name to 'purgatory,' because on any given Friday or Saturday night, the place is full of people who have been wait listed by their respective Ossignton strip easting establishments.
While I'm not sure the Crooked Star is a destination in and of itself, there is something very comforting about the vibe, and it is a rather enjoyable place to have a drink and pass the time or knock back a few after dinner drinks.
