5-Star dining and cocktail lounge in East Village!! Cowboy Star offers a delightfully clever menu at a reasonable price and a level of hospitality/service that will leave you feeling like a true VIP. The C-Star lounge/bar is one of the best in all of Downtown San Diego in my opinion. If you're looking for an upscale dining/cocktail experience with a fantastic menu, amazing staff and a warm-welcoming-classy ambiance... Look no further :)

You will not be disappointed!!!
