Stars - Second and Bainbridge, had some top acts appear.

I need some help with this one. I believe this is the site of restaurant superstar Stephen Starr's comdey and concert venue in the seventies, when he was in his early twenties. I've seen it called Stars, Starz and Starr's. I remember that it had tables and a balcony. There used to be stories on the Web about the night, possibly Halloween, when the Cramps played there and tore up (literally) the house (there are a few mentions of it without many details now). I saw some shows there, including Fingerprintz, Yachts, Johnny's Dance Band (I got served while underaged, which I thought was cool at the time), Mary Wells, and Rachel Sweet (two nights in a row). I believe Starr also hosted the Ramones, Dead Boys, Ray Charles, Eurythmics, Pat Benatar and Jerry Seinfeld. If anyone cares to fact check these comments, please do so.

Comments : The obituary for comedian Bob Saget in the Philadelphia Inquirer, 1/10/22 at p. B6, says that Mr. Saget "befriended Stephen Starr, then a nightclub promoter who had a club in Queen Village called Stars. 'He invited me and allowed me to open for people. ... He had me opening for Frank Stallone and [his band] Valentine, which, if you're opening at Second and Bainbridge, you can't get more appropriate.'"
