    I recently went to Daydreamer on 6th Street and I loved it. The décor and the vibe are everything super cute and well thought out. I loved the moon on top of the bar, such a nice touch. The bartenders were really friendly and offered different drink options, which always makes the experience better. I had an espresso martini and it was delicious. It's a nice spot to grab a drink, relax and actually have a conversation. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to so I can try more drinks.

    Got a coconut milk matcha. It was pretty good. Little lighter than others. Decently sweet. Parking is difficult around there but otherwise a super cute spot to visit.

    Bright, airy, casual, and comfortable, the vibe is more upscale cafe than dive bar. Make no mistake, the drinks are meant for after hours rather than study session-fuel, playful without being gimmicky, and strong enough to remind you you're still imbibing. That said, there's a reasonable array of NA drinks for all your sober needs, too. They've got the classic cocktails covered and some creative new mixes for when you want to try something different. Prices are quite reasonable for the location and quality, making it feel like world apart from the madness on the rest of 6th St. Add in friendly staff, great dog-friendly patio, and a playlist that skips the clichés, and you've got one of the more refreshing spots on the strip.

    Such a great little spot! This bar is right on E. 6th St. next to my work and today we went for a little birthday celebration after work and it literally took us maybe three minutes to walk there and it was so cute and so well designed when you come in there's a front outside area then you go in and there's a such a cute bar with some seating inside and it's really clean and nice and then you can go outside with your drink and they have a lot of picnic table so you can sit out a picnic table and it's just very very cute. It's such a good spot on E6 to grab a little drink. They also have some snacks I believe as well I saw even little caviar bumps on their menu so such a good spot.

    If you want to have champagne, a bump of caviar, and feel cute, Daydreamer is the place. It's low key and you ca bring your dog!

    This was such a cute cocktail spot! It feels tucked away from the rest of the street because of all the plants. There's plenty of seating in the front, inside, and backyard. The staff is also super sweet - the bouncer was giving us great recommendations on places to check out in Austin. We really enjoyed our drinks. They were both tasty and really pretty. The frozen aperol spritz was especially refreshing.

    What a cute bar! I came here for a drink on my friends birthday and we had a good experience overall. The bar itself is beautiful and has some nice indoor and outdoor seating. However, I do think the cocktails are a bit expensive and the bartender was not particularly friendly. Overall I would come back, but hopefully next time I have a more positive experience.

    Daydreamer was on my to try list and I was in the area and stopped by. I love the openness of the space but everything else was just ok. A little pricey for what you get in my opinion. The drink was just OK and so was the staff. Nothing awful just not memorable ‍

    Yummy cocktail bar! The frozen Aperol spritz was sweet and a fun twist on the classic. The naked lunch cocktail was great and well balanced. Fun music and good bartenders, nice to have both the indoor and outdoor areas

    Adrianna H.

    Great spot for a pre dinner drink! The dirty martini was phenomenal- my only wish that they had blue cheese stuffed olives! Patio had nice fans so it was cool in this summer heat! Great vibes all around!

    Daydreamer isn't all aesthetic. In addition to the cute interior and great outdoor patios in the front and back, they also serve really refreshing, high quality cocktails. I tried the Toymaker and really enjoyed it. I reminded me of a lightweight, refreshing old fashioned. I sat at the bar. I was disappointed in the lack of serve provided by the team. I felt like after the first drink, I was pretty much ignored. There were a bunch of people working the bar too. That was disappointing. Service was definitely 3/5.

    We went here for a friends birthday and one of our last stops. Decor was nice place APPEARED inviting however The door staff and bartenders weren't friendly and all seemed as if they could care less on our experience there, drinks were on the expensive side and not great. It was also extremely hot and humid Inside even though there wasn't a lot of people in there. It's was quite a hot evening and it was almost cooler outside then it was Inside. I don't think I'll be back.

    What type of music is played on Friday and Saturday nights?

    Was only there once on a Friday night and it was very busy. I really don't remember the music at all. The pizza was great and everyone was having a great time.

The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.

It's not always about drinking. In fact, quite often I'll do mocktails, water, or soda. It's about community and friendship. The vibe at NC can't fully be expressed in words. It has to be experienced. The staff treat locals and tourists like friends. And, if you're lucky enough, you actually become friends. They're like a family. Same can be said about patrons, whether regulars, sometimers, or tourists, everyone feels the love. Everyone just gets it! They have some of the best cocktails around. The frozen Irish coffee is incredible. Espresso martinis on tap? Yes, please! And if you want the best bar/comfort food ever then order from their food truck, Delray Cafe.

Other than the confusion at first, we found the venue to be cute and nicely decorated. The bartender came up to our table to take our order.

Two, I came on Saturday and there were two DJs who were obviously having a lot of fun, which is good however, they do have the tendency to take you high and immediately low. For example, they would play a Sexxy Redd song and immediately Frank Ocean or even slower, Keith Sweat--the choices didn't make sense a lot of the time. WOMEN WHO COME TO DANCE don't like this, it really messes up the flow. I will say this is one of the few places that black people gather IN the city, so there's that. The bathroom is also disgusting but what can you expect when there's only TWO STALLS IN TOTAL, meaning there's no separate stalls for men or women. Also, these are the same two stalls that you share with restaurant goers so it can get busy.

Once we walked through Manny's, we were greeted right away and since we had a reservation, we were seated promptly. Quick heads up: cell phones aren't allowed inside -- they take your phone and give you a key to a locker where it's stored for the night. The idea is to keep everyone present and engaged with each other instead of their screens (they do make exceptions for emergencies or on-call situations, at the business's discretion). I actually love the reasoning behind it, even though I wished I had my phone to snap pictures of the inside! The space itself is dark and moody with major art deco Miami vibes, like something out of the 80s-90s. Think pink velvet draped everywhere, a life-size taxidermy leopard in the middle of the bar, and flamingo sculptures scattered throughout. It's gorgeous. There's plenty of seating between the booths/couches and the bar, and they seat you according to your party size. We got a plush half-circle booth with a table that fit all of us perfectly -- great sightlines too, so everyone could see and talk to each other easily. Each table gets an assigned server, and ours was fantastic. We ordered cocktails along with the yuca fries, empanadas, and quesadillas -- all delicious.

She had the most miserable scowl on her face. My girlfriend and I were dressed very nicely (pants & jacket, and a dress), so I know this was not a outfit issue. I do not know what her issue was, but if you are tired and don't like staying up late, don't work in a bar. After saying that there was only standing room, I decided that I was not going to spend money in an establishment that speaks to people in such a disgusting way, so I proceeded to leave. One of the guys out front asked what was wrong and asked if he could buy us a drink, but at that point I decided that I would not spend a dime at this place. Just giving a heads up! Lady at the front is EXTREMELY rude. Looking at the other 1 star reviews, it looks like this place has a reputation for being discriminatory.
