Starduster Lounge

I am super impressed with this bar. All the outdoor space! And the drinks 🍸 were delicious. BARTENDERS are nice and welcoming. I will definitely recommend this bar.

Cool neighborhood bar with a huge outdoor seating area. Cool interior design. The cocktails don’t do it for me though… a bit too simple / flat, mixed with rel cheap liquors.

Came here last week with the run club and had a great time. They only had 1 IPA on tap (mini boss), but the atmosphere was great. Lots of outdoor seating and plenty of parking as well. I had the chicken and pastor tacos and quesadillas, and they were the bomb!

Great little bar! The cocktails are thoughtful and fun, the atmosphere is super relaxed, and it never feels too crowded or too loud. The bartenders are friendly, attentive, and clearly know their stuff—always makes for a great experience. Definitely worth checking out if you’re nearby!

I had a fantastic time at this bar! The cocktails were truly top-notch, and the atmosphere was just right—lively but still comfortable. The bartenders were incredibly professional and made the experience even better. Overall, I really enjoyed myself and would definitely recommend it!

I am absolutely obsessed with this bar. I’ve been a bartender for 11 years and think I’ve maybe written like one or two reviews ever? But the whole experience was so good I had to immediately. The staff is so genuine and kind and knowledgeable. So many fun stories were told and fun facts learned. So excited for this place. Will be back.

If you’ve ever been out to the Starlight Theatre in Terlingua, you know where this place got its inspo. Being a huge West Texas fan I’m hoping they learn signature drinks like The Chilton to add to the authenticity. And maybe some red dirt music too. It’s so close to being the Wild West bar it wants to be. Maybe over time they too can have a goat drinking mayor and attract a vagabond crowd of renegades.

Love this place at first visit. Great vibes, great drinks, and very friendly. You cannot go wrong with any drink here!

Such a cool spot! The cocktails are all super delicious and totally reasonably priced. Mixing retro cowboy vibes with tasty drinks and nice folks? winning combo if ya ask me

My wife and I checked out Starduster Lounge prior to a dinner in town on a Saturday evening. Starduster is located in the old Spanish Flower restaurant. It seems smaller than I would have imagined the restaurant being, but maybe much of the old restaurant was patio. There is seating at the wrap around bar where two - three mixologists are slinging the drinks. There is no wait staff, but the bartenders do a great job of handling everyone. We were there at 5 PM and there appeared to be a big crowd of pre-Astros game celebrations going on. Pretty crowded, but again the bartenders made it easy to order and get your drinks. We had 4 cocktails between us - The Freezer Cosmo, The Terralingua Saserac (both served up), the Old Fashioned and the Daisy Verdita. The Daisy Verdita was unique and the star of the show. Its a tequila based drink with a vegetal green spicy and tart addition, kind of bloody mary like but green. Just very tasty and different. The Freezer Cosmo was also excellent. The only cocktail I might not get again was the old fashioned as I like mine on a big rock instead of rocks. Friendly bartenders, excellent innovative cocktails, and a happening scene. We will return!!

I went here with a few buddies for one stop in a guys night. We all felt like we had been here before... on close inspection the inside layout is very similar to Boheme, another great bar in town. We enjoyed a few cocktails before taking in one or two more spots around the heights. Drinks were good and the umbeyonce had perfect vibes for a neighborhood spot. I wish we had something similar walking distance from my house. Given how new it is the bar was decently busy and felt difficult to order a drink but not terrible. I'll definitely be back to have a few and enjoy the outside space. If not this summer then in the fall

Last Sunday we had a get together to celebrate a graduation. We had about 30 guests. We used some of the picnic tables outside and opened a tab at the bar. The whole experience was outstanding. The bartenders were courteous and fast and they remembered who was with our party so the bar tab was correct. The entire process was easy and low stress. Highly recommended for yourself or a group of friends. It's a great place.

I want no one to know about this place.. BUT... it's important to not gate keep, LOL. Love Starduster Lounge. First, they have parking.. it was easy for us to find a spot on a Friday night. They do check IDs at the door, and it's Ssmall inside with intimate vibes, and plenty of outdoor seating. Great for a date night.. and I really like the furniture and decor. They have an Espresso Martini Drink on TAP and it's VERY GOOD. Service was quick and friendly. I read on their sign that they are doing a Steak Night soon, and I can't wait to see the pricing and how that tastes. Love that it's in my neighborhood, and such a fun place to go to. Check them out!

Stopped in for a drink after work, thankfully not too far away from where I work in downtown. A big win for me was that they have designated parking, I had parked but wasn't sure and then saw Dylan, bartender, and I asked him and he said I was fine in the parking lot next to the bar, and that they also had parking across the street on Enid St. For me that's one thing that's important is to have parking. Midtown with their questionable parking makes me not want to go. Upon entering, the place is a nice, intimate setting, with a handful of seating areas along with bar and outside seating. Recommend bringing a light jacket as it was a bit cold. The menu had a variety of offerings, and noted that all drinks are $12. They are card only, so bring your card or tap to pay and also your ID. Because they are 3 feet from a school and are considered a private club, they comply with TABC regulations to ensure safety and efficiency in their business. From the variety of the drinks, I opted for my signature drink, an Old Fashioned, it definitely had a bite to it. I slowly sipped on it while I lounged in one of the seating areas. My sister tried the Starduster Ranch Water, and she didn't like it, I had a sip of it and it tasted like only way I can describe is like soap. Saw that they also have Mocktails and THC Beverages, I didn't try any of them. We headed out as we were trying to grab dinner and Starduster doesn't currently offer food. I did get to speak with Dylan again outside and he clued me in on a couple of things they are planning to do such as having food trucks and also open the upstairs for additional space. Overall, I know being new (had just opened last week) there are many things being worked on and do hope that things improve here and they add additional seating, it got busy for a bit and seating was standing only. Thankfully I was there early enough and got a nice cozy seating area. I removed a star because both my drink and my sister weren't really anything special, it tasted like they were premade and poured from a tap, I missed seeing each one be made. I did like that there aren't TV's inside, it helps maintain the personal interactions natural and focused. Outside they do have TV's which makes sense for bigger groups. Though the seating is limited inside, likely to maintain it as a cozy and intimate space, outside has a lot of seating AND they are PET FRIENDLY! In cold weather without heating lamps, don't think anyone would really sit out there. Once spring and summer arrive, it will be nice. On their menu they indicate "Weekly Specials" Spaghetti Western Sundays Monday Night Steak Night (not sure why it wasn't happening the day I was there, would've enjoyed some steak) Tarot Tuesdays Whiskey Wednesday

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.

I visited here with my friend who lives in the neighborhood and wanted to go say hi to her new neighbors. Truth be told, I was a little worried that this would be another pretentious crafts cocktail bar full of snooty people pretending to have a good time for their instagram page (like a certain bar near Allen Parkway), but every single staff member I interacted with from the bartenders, manager, and barback were the friendliest people I have met in the industry. Of course it didn't hurt that we were there with big floofball. Speaking of which, they do have a nice outdoor area that is dog friendly. You can come through the front door. They just opened up so I'm not completely sure what the vibe is going to be but I'm guessing it's more casual during the afternoon and weeknights but more loungy on weekend nights? Their cocktail prices are about $12 a drink...actually, not "about", it IS $12 so it's very approachable and they don't take forever trying to put on a show for you so you'll get your drink in a reasonable time. They have beer and wine also which i'm guessing are cheaper. Parking is a bit tricky but you can park on the streets around the bar or at the triangle parking lot. Apparently those businesses are abandoned but use your own judgement. Overall, I'm really impressed by this place and can't wait to see how they improve it!

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!

Cute atmosphere but that's what you're paying for. The cosmo was way too bitter. Bartender seemed annoyed with customers. Sadly, we won't be back. The backyard area was cute.

Every single cocktail on the menu is worth it! The staff is attentive and knows their stuff!

Service is nothing to write home about. Bartenders were a bit standoffish. I can't stand when bartenders are not passionate about their jobs or don't know general/niche information about the liquor they serve. You want people to love your space, gotta give it to receive it.

Awesome spot. Maybe the best Espresso Martini in Houston. Wonderful staff. Dont sleep on this place. The Vibes are immaculate.

One of my favorite buildings (formerly one of the cantinas that used to be prominent on N. Main) is reopened as a neighborhood bar. They've left so much alone so it isn't fully gentrified and has a lot of character. It was pretty crowded with only one bartender working for a while so service wasn't zippy, but wasn't bad. They're certainly in the growing pains of opening weeks. The bartender and then the additional one who joined were friendly. I was disappointed that Old Fashioneds were premixed in a jug and just poured into the glass. That sort of lost something from the experience. We tried the "on tap" espresso martinis made with Mezcal instead of Vodka. Interesting, but not very cold. They should go into a shaker before serving for chilling. Overall a good experience that I hope will improve with time. They have a great happy hour M-F (5-7 I think) when all drinks are 1/2 price. I'll be back to check out more drinks soon.

Sat in the corner with my girlfriend and ordered a few beers. Our husbands joined and went to order us all a beer and the bartenders told them we were cut off. Enjoyed the vibe until that weirdness. We asked what the reason was (if they have a certain drink count then fine) but she was rude and said "I don't have to tell you that"

Great drinks in an even better atmosphere! If those walls could talk! Bartenders are top notch. We will be back
