white star is a cool, chic place, a rather lower-brow bar (at least in comparison to the other ventures owned by sasha petraske). still, don’t judge this slim, wood-clad joint by its size, but by the quality of the signature cocktails and the famous house absinthe -- both of which attract the crowd that is not afraid to spend significant chunks of their precious paychecks while swarming around the marble-top bar. speaking of absinthe, even if it's gross, it's one of the reasons why college students frequent this place.
