    Live music
    Michael M.

    This place was decent. I went with my wife and friends on a night that they had live music and drink specials. If you attend on one of these nights, I strongly recommend you attend early. The venue is small and intimate, which I like. But that also means good seats are limited. We came a bit late and had to sit outside. We couldn't see the band from our seats but we could still hear the music and enjoy the vibes. There's also food trucks nearby if you get hungry or you can bring food here from other venues. Overall, a good experience.

    Nice vibe with the outdoor seating which has fans at some tables. Inside there's foosball, Pac-Man, and pool. We didn't stay because the bartender told us they stopped serving coffee at 5pm.

    Yesterday, I was judging an art contest in East Austin in the morning and decided to grab coffee there. I sent out an inquiry to see if any of our Yelp crew wanted to join me. A friend suggested Stargazer as great place for coffee and she was spot on. Our meeting at Stargazer was great for coffee and to hear the details of her recent London trip. This place was as the name implies where you could stargaze. Smile. The stargazer vibe immediately grabs you! The interior is open, sun filled, and full of plants, with high ceilings that make the whole place feel open and welcoming. The colors are soothing, adding to the relaxed vibe. The outdoor patio is just as inviting with outdoor seating in a courtyard type environment (think resort-like with a pebble walkway). Stargazer feels simultaneously playful and whimsical as well as being thoughtfully designed. We ordered lattes...my friend got an Earth, Wind and Fire (not sure it was a play on words for nature or the Lionel Richie band) with matcha, ginger, bergamot, and honey, while I chose a Cinnabomb with espresso, maple, coconut, MCT oil, cinnamon, and steamed milk. Both lattes were quite tasty. We enjoyed the well-designed space, lattes and especially catching up.

    Only tried zero proof drinks. Realllllllyyy sweet. However the ingredients were unique. Service was really fast and I absolutely love the ambience. I can't wait to go back here for brunch / food - or for a guest DJ.

    1 part cocktail and 1 part coffee and you have Stargazer. Conveniently located right off a parking lot (and taco truck), Stargazer has this funky, earthy vibe to it. The setting here is somewhere between a craft brewery and a botanical garden, which gives it a very unique feel. Throw in a pool table, some foosball, and various nightly events such as trivia or comedy, and you have something special. By the time we got to the counter to order we were pretty excited to see what was in store. However, the wait was... long, which wouldn't be bad if we hadn't been the only people in line. We must have waited about 10 minutes or so before we got someone to take our order, and that's with a barista at the bar and another worker restocking in front of us. It just felt like there was zero urgency and the line behind us began to grow and eventually got to the door. When we finally got our order taken the staff were nice and the process was smooth. We ordered a hot chocolate and a hot strawberry matcha latte. They do offer a pretty expansive menu with cocktails and other specialty drinks if that's your vibe. Our drinks came out pretty quick and we drank them while playing some pool (pretty cool sentences to say when it's coffee you're drinking). The hot chocolate is fantastic; it has a sweet milk chocolate taste similar to Dutch Bros but a bit better in our opinion. The strawberry matcha was just okay, much more on the earthy side with a nice hint of strawberry in it. The bottom of the cup had a lot of semi absorbed matcha in it which was a bit unenjoyable to finish a drink off with. We really liked the setting of Stargazer and it's hard not to. Between the funky vibe, cool events going on, and games, it's a lot of fun. The service leaves a bit to be desired and the drinks were hit or miss, but it's a place we would come back to, especially with things like pickleball and rock climbing nearby. We're looking forward to coming here again and seeing if things are different, but for now we feel this place warrants a placeholder of 3.

    THE BIG: Located in the Springdale neighborhood of east Austin, next to the rock climbing gym. Very vibey spot with good lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of parking in the lot outside. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here with the wife for a comedy show at Stargazer. The place is very unique with super tall ceilings and these giant disco balls hovering the air. There seemed to be a back area with more seating but that was closed off as the front portion was the comedy show. Also a nice little bar was off to the left side of the building for drinks. You can also BYOF, so we got a pizza from bambinos and ate it during the comedy show. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, I spent around $10 for a drink here and definitely would come back to chill or watch another comedy show.

    Super cute spot that feels modern and cozy, with plenty of seating and little nooks for conversation. Parking was easy for a Friday night, but the place itself was a little tricky to find since I didn't see an official sign. I was there for a social event so didn't get the chance to try more than one drink. I had an espresso martini and it was great, with just the right balance of alcohol. The bartenders were funny and friendly, which made the experience even better! Lots of drink options, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Definitely want to come back and try more!

    Part coffee shop, part. cocktail bar, party cutesy venue - I envision small open mic nights or comedy shows in this space. And guess what, when I checked their website I saw that they do all of that and more. Book swaps, trivia night, concerts... I met up with a colleague for a caffeinated meeting - though we were both so tempted to try the frozen aperol spritz! I'll def return for that. The wifi worked, the tunes were good, loved all the plant vibes. Only thing that wasn't so great was being swarmed by flies. Dunno why, but they were obsessed with my matcha.

    Unique place, friendly folks. Lots of indoor and mostly outdoor seating. The Pilsner that my husband got was very good. I got the brown sugar butter latte, it was ok.

    Saw signs for this place so felt inspired to check it out for a Friday happy hour and what a delight that was. It was busy in the front area with people wrapping up their work day. Super casual, especially since it's a coffee shop in the morning. The back area is a secret gem. It looks so fun! I want to bring some friends back here. The bartender was telling us about all the fun events they have throughout the week like open mic nights and comedy. Definitely need to check them out. The frozen margarita had a $5 deal. I'm not sure if it was just for Fridays or an everyday happy hour thing. The frozen Aperol Spritz was really something special. They didn't have any food besides pasties but Handsome Dan's next door had some snacks so we enjoyed that with our drinks from Stargazer outside on the shared patio. Great time and WILL be returning!

    Cool spot with coffee and cocktails. Great place to work from on a Friday. One note is would be great to have sweetness and oat milk out so that I don't have to keep disturbing the barista. Didn't love the taco truck outside (portions are huge) but the Greek sandwich truck is a must try.

    One of the most unique spots I've ever been to Austin I've lived here for over 18 years and I can't believe that this was a hidden spot now will be my go to spot just cause of how gorgeous the environment is ambience way out of the top service was so diligent and quiet and nice was early in the morning just one opener and it just felt so homey. Drinks, what can we say about tea it was so good I can't believe that. It's just a hidden local spot that we could have all gone and visit and we should

    I am here in Austin and always looking for new spots for drinks and coffee. Stargazer has an excellent selection of cocktails and coffees. I loved my Cosmic Cruiser cocktail made with Toto's vodka, raspberry and blood orange syrup. With a great indoor outdoor ambience Stargazer is wonderful for a lazy day with your kids and pets. I can imagine it's also great to work or study during the week, or play boardgames with friends over the weekend.

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.
