Stargazer

Love this place!!! Finally was able to go! I went during the Halloween season so I was able to try something off their Halloween drinks and off their normal menu. We liked all the drinks we ordered! The staff were super nice and chill and had great knowledge of the drink they were making and had great descriptions about the drinks! The atmosphere was the greatest!! So cute dimlights yet bright with all the starlight going around too! Highly recommend for date night!

Absolutely loved it! The intentionality and design of the drink menu was so thoughtfully curated. The bar bites were elevated and so darn good that we ordered seconds of our favorites. Went early so it was still pretty quiet but would return again and again.

Enjoyed a nice evening with friends the other evening, our server was helpful. The food, while small plates, is unique and tasty. The burger is a good smash style, the coconut shrimp deep fried and tasty, and the corn dogs are the best - especially with the Kramarczyks sausage inside. Drinks were well crafted - a style for everyone.

I really enjoyed my recent visit to Stargazer. I don't know how they're making money on the food. My wife and I had a delicious self-guided multi-course meal with their apps/small plates. The cocktails were delicious. Almost as good as mine :), but their Variety far exceeded what's available at my house. Cocktail pricing seemed about right to me considering the high quality ingredients. A standout moment was when a bartender heard us talking about the two Mezcals on offer and came over and talked to us about the options and their origins. Really elevated the experience. Favorite drinks were the Copitas and Seasonal Sidecar, fave food was the fried chicken.

I came here after having dinner to just have a drink and relax so I didnt have much. I got the heroes and villains drink. It tasted alot like an old fashioned. They do have a foods menu but I didnt try anything. The place is nice and dark almost like sitting outside due to the theme. The restrooms are unique so do try to experience both of them.

Really fun drinks, not that many ‘big’ food items, but the small snacks they had were really delicious. Went with a friend during the week of Halloween and they had a Spaceballs theme, and the bartenders dressed up. Awesome time, would definitely get a drink here again

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.

We showed up on a Friday evening, made a reservation in advance. Looks like they got slightly overbooked as we needed to wait about 15-20 minutes after our reservation time (very limited seating, totally understandable). Fiona and Isaiah both were extremely apologetic and brought us a round of shots while we waited, and got us seated immediately once the next table was available! Fiona was extremely attentive and gave us phenomenal service throughout dinner. The drinks are very unique, and the food is amazing for the price. 10/10 all around, will definitely become regulars here.

Second time coming here. This place is fantastic and dreamy. I get taken back each time I come here because I love the galaxy atmosphere and intimacy of the layout. Not a big restaurant but always seem to find a bar spot. The food and drinks are a bit pricey but it's worth it for the excellent bar service and atmosphere. Perfect for a date night or out with a friend or two to feel like you're in a spaceship.

We really enjoyed our trip to Stargazzer. We ordered the Nashville Hot, French fries, and Caesar salad, all delicious. Our group also loved the Old Fashioned and the Espresso Martini. The atmosphere is dark and cozy, and the staff was helpful and attentive throughout our visit. Even the bathrooms had a cool vibe, spacious, and clean. Overall, a great experience!

This place felt a bit overrated to me. Our server did explain things very well and we enjoyed here, but I think in general our party's overall consensus is that we don't think we need to come back lol. The pictures online make this place seem cooler than it is. Also, the fries we ordered were VERY salty and we didn't even finish them because of that.

Stargazer was so fun! Right away, I liked the space-y vibe. The menu was creative and fun to read, and the bartenders gave excellent recommendations. Heroes & Villains was a funky drink, but in a really good way. The fries with space dust were a good snack, but nothing out of this world. The drinks were the real stars!

I really wanted to love this quirky cocktail bar but unfortunately the service was pretty underwhelming. While our server promptly took our order, after he dropped off our initial drinks and food he never returned. He also forgot to bring us our dessert we had ordered. We would have liked to order more drinks but by the time we got someone else's attention we were ready to leave. We were there with two other couples and they wouldn't split the check by couple which I found odd. We tried most of the food menu and especially enjoyed the coconut shrimp and shrimp roll. They had a nice selection of mocktails as well. The bathrooms were a fun touch and added to the ambiance.

Overall a cool spot with great drinks. Free street parking out front. Make sure you have a reservation if you go! We waited 20+ minutes with a reservation for a table to open up which we didn't mind but there was no where to wait so we felt in the way of service and people coming in and leaving. The ambience is good but definitely overhyped by social media and a bit loud to hear someone at your table or the server but it was a busy Friday night so that was to be expected. We ordered a brownie and fries and were underwhelmed. Our server was friendly. The constellation inspired menu was so creative and the drinks were great!

What an amazingly fun vibe and they really continue on with the theme of universe space stargazing. Definitely recommend a reservation as it is small if you're going on a weekend night. The drink menu is also fun and follows the constellation theme. Servers are fun, lively, and attentive. Love a good theme!

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

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!

I wish I could give this spot 100 stars! Everyone needs to go to Stargazer asap! It has the BEST vibe. The music, lights, intimacy. Everything was so well done. Bartenders were helpful and energetic. They have 50 unique cocktails, so there's something for everyone! Definitely order the corn dogs. Prepare to wait in line, or put your name on the wait list and stop at another spot nearby if needed. Either way, it's definitely worth the hype! Highly recommend!

Fantastic spot for a cocktail and snacks! Seating is limited with no reservations. You're likely to be put on a waiting list, but the bar is in an excellent area with plenty other places to kill time. Parking can be tricky - only street parking. Things I especially love: - Cocktails are excellent. I was impressed with the selection. There are quite a few NA beverages too! - The space! The ceiling is the best part. - The unique menu - you get it through a QR code. But if technology's not your thing, they have paper menus too. - The bathrooms! No spoils, just check them out.

Heard about this place from a friend and got to go withing the first week of it opening. Easy to find but you'll have to find street parking. Its first come first serve and I happen to be there at just the right moment cause I got a seat at the bar after waiting maybe 10 minutes. The place is small and intimate, was told it seats about 40. All blue lighting when I walked in and was there til bar close when all the lights turned red and they played the imperial March from star wars which was really cool. You scan the menu with your phone and it was like looking at constellations and different stars had different things from the menu. I loved that way, kind of an adventure when ordering. Got a couple drinks and tried the salmon on a stick. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Food and drinks came out quick and had a great experience overall. Will definitely be going back soon!

The goods: The main draw of a wide selection of premium, interesting, well crafted cocktails was definitely worth the visit alone and the food was surprisingly well priced and quite high quality though nearly all of it was fried so would be limited if that wasn't your thing. The vibe was very interesting and would be a place i would recommend to others based on that The bads: I almost gave it a 2 though strictly because really our service was horrible. The place wasn't even that busy at the time, however our table was forgotten about, we didn't see our server once after the food order went in. Probably would have ordered a second round if given the chance. Eventually we had to ask for our dessert and the check, which they apparently dont split which was also annoying. Overall I have to assume this was a one-off but did negatively our experience

Incredible service, fun atmosphere and great cocktails, Stargazer lives up to the hype. If you're looking for a fun cocktail spot, I highly recommend them!

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.

Fun night. Enjoyed the celestial theme. Good cocktails. Great choice to celebrate a birthday with someone knowledgeable about the night sky

Stargazer is a place that I was excited about the second I saw it was coming to the Twin Cities. The outside of the bar makes it easy to miss but it also gives it a cool speakeasy vibe. When we walked in we were made to show our ID's and then sat at the bar. I didn't love that the only place their menu QR code was as soon as you walked in the door. The interior was dark and celestial! I loved the vibe of the bar. It is very small with limited seating and no reservations so we went on a weekday so we didn't have to deal with a crowd. I expected the food menu to be a little bigger. Not full on meals but a couple more fun tapas. The only thing that really jumped out to us was the ceviche. Personally I would give it a 6/10. I felt like it could've used a little more flavor. It was great once you put the hot sauce on it but I want it to be great on its own. The little bottle they give you is super cute though. Every drink we had was great! My drinks were Boogie Nights & Pina Verde. I expected the Boogie Nights to be a tiny bit sweeter but it was still very good! Very well balanced and light. The Pina Verde was great! I loved it. I feel like rum really overpowers a lot of coladas for me but I didn't feel that way with this one. My boyfriend enjoyed his two drinks but I don't think he was wowed by them. The drinks are quite pricey to be honest. Definitely somewhere I would only come for one MAYBE two drinks. Especially if you're also getting food. We loved the playlist they had going too!!! Overall we enjoyed Stargazer. I think it's gorgeous and they have fun unique ideas. I wish the food was a little more extensive and exciting but what we had was still good.

Stargazer is a fantastic collaboration between the folks at Travail and the owner behind Meteor. The cocktails are fantastic. The small plates, it's a very limited menu, were all quite tasty and perfect as accompaniments to the cocktails. Only negative feedback is the drink menu design. It absolutely requires you sit and stare at your phone and navigate back-and-forth between pages. While the concept is cute - - each drink being a star in a constellation - - execution is not fantastic. The staff are knowledgeable and very good at what they do. The space is a charming little night sky inspired bar.

Cool cocktail bar with bar menu snacks that are the best in the cities!! If you love craft cocktails then this is the spot for you! You want a mini cheese burger with your Sazerac? No problem - awesome mini smashburgers. French fries are perfectly seasoned and crisp. Buttermilk chicken are little nuggets of crispy goodness!! They need to bring back the Sunday burger special - best burger in town!!!

We went to check out this new bar that opened in NE Minneapolis. The ceiling is full of stars, the pictures looks pretty cool too. No reservations however there is a waiting list, this place does get full pretty quick. Great location near other restaurants and street parking. Their menu is uploaded onto the phone by scanning the code. Then you can tap into each sections to see what types of cocktails they make and even foods. The bathroom was actually something to check out. It looked like a space ship with the buttons on the side, so I pushed every button and turned all the switches, the siren came on and we panicked. Eventually the siren turned off and the staff said it's all for fun. Would definitely recommend checking this place out.

Finally got to check out this cool new vibey speak easy bar in north east. It truly feels like you're stepping into space, the lighting is perfect for a date night. The drinks did not disappoint, we also ordered a couple apps: the salmon, corn dogs. Pretty good service for the most part although they seemed a little busy. Be sure to check out the bathrooms they are a must see.

The ambiance here is next-level -- feels like you've stepped into a space movie. Super creative cocktail menu with lots to choose from. The drinks themselves were good (not mind-blowing), but the vibe alone is worth coming back for.

Cute place. Creative cocktails and food. Perfect for date night or for small groups. Can't wait to go back!!

What a cool fun bar. Stargazer is a small bar in NE Minneapolis. We were lucky to get a table for four. Go early. If there aren't tables available, you need to wait at the front entrance until a spot opens up. You get to order your drinks from your phone. There are different constellations that you can choose from. I didn't recognized most of the liquors in the drinks, but the staff was helpful in describing them to you. Again, lots of cool vibes. It's definitely more of a cocktail bar than resturant. Enjoy your time there!

Service & ambiance were great! Tried this right after Young Joni around the corner. What a great spot.

Super fun environment and great friendly service specifically from Parker. Drinks are phenomenal and the food is affordable and delicious. Can't wait to go back and try more.

The drinks were amazing! Our bartender was a sweetheart and we enjoyed her service as she gave ideas on what "sweet drink" I should get. The host upfront was a bald white guy who was a bit annoying, understanding that it's a dark bar, people are going to want to take a picture of the place/ the food and drinks with or without flash. It's normal. He kept on going up to everyone asking to be considerate of the flash as it may bother other people.

They have the small plates tuned in. All were great. The prickly pisco was great. The white lady is always a good one. The bar is so classy, yet casual and comfortable. It takes me to a different decade.

Service/door staff not very friendly. What more can you say when denied entry while establishment is half empty and many seats at the bar were wide open at 5:00 on a Saturday. Seems like a poor business model to turn away a group of interested patrons. Wish them well but will not attempt to return.

These bartenders know their sh*t! Appreciate the great drinks. Will be back when in town!

Menu was a bit confusing. Concept was cool but a little off the mark with the menu and service. We were there a little later, so had to wait in line. Felt a little rushed but other than that the service was great.
