Stargazer

Definitely speakeasy vibes with the fact that you almost completely miss it while walking past. When we entered, there was a velvet rope to keep us in the entryway and separate while getting ID’d. My friends and I went in the evening while the sun was still up, so we didn’t get the full experience with the darkness and stars on the ceiling. I would say it’s definitely not worth checking out unless you go at night. The menu is ridiculous, they’re trying too hard and it results in taking way too long to navigate to find what you want. You scan the QR code and it pulls up this constellation format with all the drinks in categories. Drinks were overpriced for how average they were, but the corndogs were delicious. Our server was also stand-offish and rude, I probably won’t be back.

5 of us went to Stargazer at about 6pm on a Wednesday night and we got a table right away. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of large tables or space for larger groups, but I didn’t look too hard. It’s fairly small but a lot of nice seating around the bar as well. Upon entering there’s a rope to stop you from coming all the way in until you show your ID. I had a spirit free drink and it was really good. A girlfriend of mine asked for a dirty martini and ended up getting a second. She was not told ahead and was surprised to see that she was up-charged $8 for them. Maybe because they are off the menu?? We ordered truffle corn dogs as a little appetizer before going somewhere else for dinner. The corn dogs usually come as two, but the servers/kitchen were nice enough (and without us even asking) to split it all up so that each of us could have a try and without having to cut it up. The menu was kinda hard to understand with how funky it reads, but that’s the point and it was fun to figure out! The server gave us a lot of good recommendations, answered all of our questions, and was very patient. The vibe is great here. I do recommend it and hope to come back soon!

I can see the hype, this place is pretty neat with the ceiling stars setting the mood. Parking can be a bit terrible and sometimes there’s a line that I don’t think is worth it. Overall if you can get in cool, but not sure I’d want to stand in line due to no reservations for a drink.

Blink when you’re walking by and you might miss it but you’ll be sorry you did because it’s a fun place to check out. You’re stopped at the door by a velvet rope until your ID is checked. First come, first sat. We chose to sit at the bar and Isaiah made helpful suggestions from the menu (click around or head to the list if you want) and made us some tasty drinks. With the starry ceiling and attentive staff, it’s a great place to chill and enjoy your cocktail. We’ll be back!

Went here for the first time on Thursday night and had an amazing experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is unique and fun, the food and drink were DELICIOUS and reasonably priced. So glad this is in the neighborhood and we can’t wait to come back!

Wow, this bar is really excellent!! The amazing drinks, the delicious small bites, the incredible vibe… truly a delightful experience. My partner took me here as a fun date night and we had a great time. Not only was the atmosphere amazing with the starry lights and themed menu, but the service and drinks were also exceptional. When we arrived on a Thursday night there was about a 30 minute wait to be seated, as it is a smaller space. However, we were able to place our name on the list and we were texted as soon as they were ready to seat us. Once you are in the bar, you scan the QR code they have available to view the drink and food menu on their web app. I was impressed because this web app works pretty well and is quite fun. The menu is presented as if each section is its own constellation (e.g. “botanical cluster”, “fruit nebula”, and “spirit free sector”), that you initially view as a “galaxy” and which you can click to zoom in or out of. You can also view the menu as a list in the app if this type of map functionality is not your preferred menu experience. Further, their menu was extensive and every drink we tried was awesome. During my visit, I counted in total 47 different cocktail options (not including their N/A options), which is a very impressive selection! My favorites were the “Infamous” cocktail which I tried and the “Crockett’s Theme” which my partner ordered. This said, all the drinks we tried were so delicious, well-balanced, and high quality that I don't think you can go wrong with anything on their menu. Plus, our server was always happy to help offer suggestions or answer questions if we weren't sure what to try next. And not only were the drinks incredible, but the small bites they offered were also delicious. I highly recommend the salt & pepper chicken oyster if they have it on the menu—this was so good, my spouse and I were still talking about it on the drive home. On top of the exceptional food, drink, and service, the atmosphere is in a league of its own! It is truly a beautiful space which transports you into an astrological paradise. It's dark and moody, but also comfortable and inviting. I should also mention that their bathrooms are very fun too! I read something about this in another Google review so this became a running joke with my partner that we need to check out the bathrooms. Both of them are actually decorated differently and they are pretty cool so that reviewer was totally right and I appreciate their insights 😁 The one I visited kind of reminded me of Tron, and I think the other one has spaceship buttons. This further shows how the consistency and care put into the space as a whole is truly unmatched, and I felt totally immersed from the moment I walked in the door. If you are looking for an elevated cocktail experience with a unique theme, served with true care for the craft, Stargazer is the place for you! This cocktail spot is absolutely awesome, and I highly recommend checking it out for your next special date night.

As a Travail Stan - this hurts me to write. This place is trying WAY too hard. A drink menu with 53 cocktails on some weird interactive star menu map that would take me an hour to click through and read?? Come on. The food is excellent - but the atmosphere and drinks are trying to be too pretentious and niche. If you do end up here, pls try the beef tartare !!

Stopped by on a Fri night, the line was only about 10 mins so got lucky The menu is a QR code you scan at the entrance Overall the bar is cute but a little underwhelming than I thought it would be!! Drinks were good but spendy and service was really good Small - comparable to bars in Vegas I would say Nice that Minneapolis is finally getting some cool bars Non reservations walk in only
