Not sure when it closed, but it reopened in 2014 as Apple&Parrot and they had quite a lot of busy nights when they put something on such as bands etc. - still got a Facebook page up https://www.facebook.com/Apple-Parrot-Blackpool-1464308750479690/I had no idea it re-opened. When did it originally close as The Star? I'm guessing early 2000's?
I can remember loads of interesting photos and memorabilia and also I think part of the bar was interesting souvenirs encased in some sort of perspex.
It was a good pub back in the day. Surprised it ever re-opened as there is hardly any footfall in that area now the south entrance is closed.
Closed in March 2015 due to "circumstances out of our control" but nobody seems to know what those actually were.
At least it'll see that whole corner tidied up (i.e. the old Coasters) now it's being replaced with the new hotel.
