The Star Hotel & Bar is a historic Basque dining institution in Elko, Nevada, serving hearty, communal-style meals in an Old World setting since 1910. Guests gather around long tables for classic Basque dishes-from garlic-loaded lamb chops and hearty soups to beans, pasta, and flan-all accompanied by stiff Picon Punches and shared conversation. The venue's enduring charm lies in its family-style service, cultural legacy, and welcoming atmosphere passed down through generations, now guided by owner Scott Ygoa. Whether you're a traveler or local, step inside for a richly authentic meal and the full Elko dining experience.
