    A few friends and I decided to venture over to Starduster Lounge on Valentine's Day and it was especially crowded. I was a bit surprised to learn that because they're too close to an elementary school, they are technically a private club and ID has to be scanned / a waiver has to be signed. I think they should play this piece up and make it a bit more speakeasy like because right now it just seems like an annoying task you have to complete when trying to order. I ordered a frozen margarita with salt and thought it was OK but did love the little glass with cacti on it that it came in. I also tried my friend's drinks and thought they were good, not great. The bartenders were very helpful and friendly despite being slammed with orders. We ended up sitting at a back table as that's all we could snag (even after waiting awhile). For me, this place COULD be cool under the right circumstances but it isn't a place I'd go out of my way to visit again. I'd recommend this place for a cute date drink if you can get a spot at the bar or if they put heaters on the patio during the winter, it could also be more fun! All in all, OK place but will likely be a lot better after some time and a few adjustments get made.

    Five out of five all day. New bar that just opened up down the road and I can already tell it's going to become one of my go-to spots. The vibe is a perfect merge between dive and classy. It's small but not too small. Perfect type of vibe for me. Service is quick and the bartenders are polite. Love it.

    Main seating area facing Main Street.

    I'm so glad there's a new place in the Heights to grab a cocktail. Starduster gives off Marfa vibes and delivers whether you've been there or not. The decor is pleasantly western retro chic. The drinks focus heavily on tequilas and mezcals, but there's something for everyone if that's not your jam. I've tried several of the cocktails, and I keep my eye out for specials or seasonal drinks, but honestly the frozen margarita here has a chokehold on me most visits. The patio is absolutely charming. There are enough trees to shade, plenty of space, and a couple TV's to watch the Astros on. There is plenty of space for food pop-ups. I've only had El Flaco Norteño for apps there but I'm dying to try his taco plates one of these nights. As for service, every bartender we have interacted with is pleasant and sociable. I'd name names, but then I'd be giving out the entire staff list. My husband and I appreciate coming on slower Sunday afternoons and chatting about video games or football or food with the guys and gals behind the bar. They get slammed easily because the bar area is small, but they take their craft very seriously and want to serve you a drink you'll love. I've learned so much about mezcal (which I thought I hated) from the bartenders here, even finding one I like! That being said, drinks here lean into the Western vibe. Read the menu, know what flavors you like, and if you're not sure and the bartenders aren't slammed, ask what they think!!! There is a separate parking lot with plenty of spaces, but on busy nights there is also street parking. It's Houston, so rain obviously does a number on the surface, so be careful and watch your step, but be thankful for dedicated parking instead of parking in front of some rando's house and walking 7 blocks... Because this bar is located near a school, they MUST scan your ID at each visit. On busy nights they have a door person to do this, but if it's slower then the bartenders will scan your ID before ringing in your drinks. I personally appreciate that they are consistent and serious about this practice. Overall this is a standout new bar in the area. I hope they stick around a long time.

    Needs more seating! Love the vibe though sooo much. Also decorate the baskets above bar - necessary. Outside is on the brink of becoming a vibe. Get heaters, need plants, and wrap that tree in lights. Make it cozy. Kill it!

The ambiance was great for the holiday they had themed drinks and specials going on, which added a fun touch and made it feel festive without being chaotic. Definitely a solid spot if you're looking for somewhere social but still comfortable. The drinks were good, and overall the vibe was on point. It felt like a place you could hang out for a while, whether you're there to celebrate something or just have a few drinks with friends. One thing to note is they don't serve food, I did hear they rotate food trucks at times, but none were there when we went which was a bit of a downside, but they did allow us to bring in outside food, which honestly made up for it and gave us more options. Parking wasn't too bad when we went, and since it wasn't super packed, everything felt smooth and easy. Overall, great vibes, good drinks, and a fun place. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a casual hangout or social night out.

First, the vibe. It is warm, stylish, and very Montrose in the best way. It feels elevated but still relaxed enough to just sit, talk, and enjoy your time without feeling rushed. We came during happy hour and it was such a great deal. I ordered the Sweet Like Peach Tree, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with the peach and ginger. My husband got the Frozen Paloma and it was just as good, super smooth with the right citrus bite. We also shared the churros and they were honestly a must order. Warm, crispy, and paired with Nutella and caramel. What really made the experience stand out though was our bartender, Manny. He was incredibly welcoming from the moment we sat down, had such a great personality, and made the whole experience feel personal. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and that kind of service is hard to find. He also told us about their upcoming two year anniversary party on May 3rd with rotating live DJs, which sounds like it will be such a fun time. We will definitely be back. Between the drinks, the atmosphere, and the service, this place really gets it right.

It's a little small inside and a small parking lot, but if you're lucky and can walk there, do! The quality of the drinks are really excellent and the burgers have been voted some of the best in town! I can't speak for them, but the drinks and the spot, are phenomenal. They have bingo nights, dj nights, and other themed events that keep the place packed out. Maybe once I try the burgers, it'll be 5 stars, but the smallll parking lot and lack of safe street parking keep me at 4.
