"NO REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT IS COMPLETE WITHOUT ITS POETICAL EXPRESSION. IF SUCH A MOVEMENT HAS CAUGHT HOLD OF THE IMAGINATION OF THE MASSES THEY WILL SEEK A VENT IN SONG FOR THE ASPIRATIONS, THE FEARS AND THE HOPES, THE LOVES AND THE HATREDS ENGENDERED BY THE STRUGGLE. UNTIL THE MOVEMENT IS MARKED BY THE JOYOUS, DEFIANT, SINGING OF REVOLUTIONARY SONGS, IT LACKS ONE OF THE MOST DISTINCTIVE MARKS OF A POPULAR REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT, IT IS THE DOGMA OF A FEW, AND NOT THE FAITH OF THE MULTITUDE."

Entertainment Every Night of the Week

The Starry Plough is a full service restaurant, pub and nightclub that has been a staple of the East Bay scene since 1973. With deep roots as an Irish Revolutionary watering hole, the history of protest runs as deep today as it did when we opened five decades ago.
