Okay loooovvvvvveeeee this bar! Such a chill vibe great wine selection. The art is soo fun and good music. Bartenders although busy took time talked laughed. It was all great. Me and my friends went through 3 bottles of wine in 4 hours because it was so chill. I did have a mosquito bite me 3 times but it's Texas people walking in and out nothing they can do. Ohhh and the bathrooms soo clean and cute loved the art in there. Def now on my normal spots list.

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.

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!

You'll daydreaming with their garden scape outdoor seating. Nice cocktails and a friendly crowd of people come through here.

Frozen Strawberry Aperol Spritz

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 ‍

Danielle M.

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!

Stephanie P.

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.

Toymaker
Bethany A.

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.

Beautiful bar

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.

Hands down my favorite bar I have been too…read more It's beautiful the moment you walk in. The architecture and design creates such a cool vibe. The drinks.... Seriously....The best I've had. Very impressed with the drinks and I enjoyed the inspiration of Japanese liquor and design. Our bartender was so attentive and friendly. He made us shots and it was the best thing I've ever had. I been dreaming of the shot everyday. I recommend this place to everyone now. It's dark, it's quiet, it's cool, it's THAT bar. I cannot wait to come back again and again and again. We aren't locals. Not even close. We drove 9 hours. 10/10 will be back

My husband and I went to Trona recently for my birthday. I'd seen photos and promotion (by local…read moreinfluencers) and thought it looked like a cool spot with a funky vibe. Being that we live south, it's rare we ever venture out to the east side so I was excited to try it. We had a 6pm reservation on a Wednesday and were promptly seated at a table. We're big fans of sitting at the bar if available, so we asked to switch and it was no problem. The main reason we came to Trona was due to a pop-up happening by Foodie + Tina. Excellent handrolls, crudo and even the chicory salad was amazing. The cocktails we tried were new to the menu as of this week and came with Christmas flair. They were good but not mind-blowing. The bartenders were super nice and easy to talk to. It was really dark which is normal for a speakeasy but as another reviewer suggested, makes it difficult to read the menu. One thing I noticed was they were burning white copal and it took me immediately to Tulum, MX - smells so good! Parking was easy, in an alley nearby. It might be helpful for customers if they had signage in/near the parking lot - we were unsure if we were in the right spot initially.

One of my favorite bars in Austin. Some people might see it as a little divey, but that's honestly…read morepart of the charm. The atmosphere is always friendly, relaxed, and easy to settle into whether you're there for a quick drink or hanging out for the night. The drinks are consistently great, and they also have really solid weekday food specials. The sliders and tots are definitely the go-to items on the menu and always hit the spot after a few drinks. One thing I especially appreciate is how much effort they put into the themed décor during Christmas and Halloween. It really adds personality to the space and makes coming back during the holidays feel fun and memorable every year. Just an overall great neighborhood bar with good vibes and a lot of character.

My purse wasn't searched. Had a great time celebrating Kevin's birthday, bought and paid for my tab, closed out only to have the same blue haired door man ask to check my bag before I left. I happily opened my purse and made a comment out loud about being discriminated against and he said they do it to everyone... but when and how who I didn't see that happen to anyone? I've been here for quite some time. I felt prejudice towards myself from blue haired boy because I was on my way out and the person whose job it was to check my tote upon entry ( which they did not) ask to look into my bag then and there.. with no explanation. If the staff gets in trouble for not checking a bag throughout the night just say so. As a woman of color, I felt targeted especially since I've been in Austin for 39 years... Austin really has turn to trash.

Was sat at the second table inside which I will say the seating set up is a bit funky. The chairs we were in were high back and decorative, comfortable for sure. The booths look like they'd be cozy too. Only two seats at the bar and I'd recommend them as you get to see the action. They did stick to the allotted timeframe due to back to back reservations so....one drink later the bill arrived. Service was nothing of note. The other person in my party was running late and it took 10 min for someone to ask if I wanted to start without them after being sat. Of course I would! Time waits for no one. I got the Venetian spritz and it was strong...needed to wait for the ice to help dilute it and then it was tasty. Noted for next time as there were a couple other drinks that looked good. The menu has food options from Buenos Aries upstairs and while I don't order food, the empanadas are amazing so you def should try. Overall nice experience and I'd go back to try other drinks and enjoy the vibe. Music was lounge ish with a mixture of languages.

It's surprisingly hard to find places in Austin that consistently play hip-hop and R&B, so I absolutely loved the music selection. The wings and fries were really good, and the drinks were solid as well. I'd definitely order both again. One of my personal pet peeves is being served drinks in plastic cups, but since these were the discounted drinks, I'll give them a pass on that one! The venue has both indoor and outdoor areas, which I really liked. Unfortunately, the music was only playing inside for most of the event. The party started at 4 PM, but I didn't notice the manager bringing speakers outside until around 8 PM. Hopefully, they'll improve that because the outdoor area could be just as enjoyable with music. Service could also use some improvement. Ordering drinks takes quite a while, and the bathroom lines can get pretty long. I noticed approximately two bartenders inside and one outside, which didn't seem like enough for the crowd. Another frustration is having to pay just to sit down. I understand charging for reserved seating, but not everyone wants to stand for hours. This is especially inconvenient for women wearing heels, although even men get tired of standing! My biggest issue, however, is how late they advertise events. Their website often lists events from a year or more ago, while upcoming events are usually announced only a week or two in advance. As someone who likes to plan ahead, that's frustrating because I often already have other plans by then. Despite these issues, I'd definitely return! I love the music, enjoyed the food and drinks, and see a lot of potential in this venue. I just hope they improve the staffing, seating options, outdoor sound system, and event announcements.

It is very very very dark in there so it's super intimate and features candles and mini tap light lamps. If you have sight or mobility issues, you may not like this venue from a safety standpoint. Steep incline stairs lead down to this dungeon like hold. I would return in a heartbeat. Must have the password. Exclusive and decadent is the mood. So if it matches you, you have to visit!

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. I can't remember the name of my cocktail, but it was pink, gin-based, and so good, served in a beautiful tall stem glass. Loved everything about this place and will absolutely be back next time I'm in town!

The guy at the front was very nice, but as soon as we get to the "receptionist" the entire narrative changed. She looked my girlfriend and I up and down and then proceeded to tap multiple times on her IPad. She then says, "you know it's 1:30? we close at 2. we only have standing room." 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.
