Review for Five Star Tavern 56 Review For Five Star Tavern 56 Google User Feb 1 '16 at 16:49 One of the best around, definitely the best in Essex County. I want to comment on the previous review by Sushi Fresh and his/her opinion that race is an issue there. First off that place has been around longer than you in a predominately African American area and thrives there. Also most of the employees and patrons are of African American decent including all other walks of life that have frequent Star Tavern for generations. So take your anger and biased opinion elsewhere. View full site to comment or like
