🚀 @stargazerbar has landed in East Austin! 🙌
📍 979 Springdale, Suite 130 Austin, TX 78702 (formerly Austin Eastciders)
☕️ Coffee, cocktails, mocktails, lite bites, kolaches from @batchatx , gluten free treats from @maaribuatx , @lickicecreams and 2 food trucks: @dippingspringstenderco and Santo Patio
🍕 You can even order and pick up pizza from @bambinoatx (with a discount!)
🚀They have a gorgeous tree covered patio with a space ship playground for kids! Such a fun spot to meet for a playdate! 🤗
⏰ Open daily from 7am-late
🍣 ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI 🍣
@machisushiatx has all you can eat sushi! This is the perfect spot for a special dinner for your teens who never seem to get full (spoiler alert: they will finally be full lol!)
📍 2200 S I-35 Frontage Rd, Austin
🧋 My kids all like boba tea so we got that too (it’s not all you can drink fyi!) They also love Ramune Japanese soda where you pop the little ball inside and watch it fizz so we got those too!
🍣The sushi was delicious! The Shaggy Dog was our favorite roll.
🍣My youngest isn’t a big eater, so we were able to order a single roll for him a la carte and not pay the All You Can Eat price!
🍦The fried ice cream at the end was a fun experience too.

🍺 HOPS FOR HOUSES BEER PASSPORT 🍺
Right now the beer passport is only $20 (lowest price ever!) and you get a beer at 16 places! That’s practically a dollar per beer!
👀 The link to purchase is in my bio! All proceeds will benefit @habitatwilcotx
How it works:
1️⃣ Buy a beer passport at the link in my bio. You will get one beer at 16 local businesses. Right now it’s only $20 (but will eventually go up to $25).
2️⃣ Bring your passport with you once it arrives in the mail. I recommend keeping it in your purse or your car so you don’t forget it. There is no way to use the passport electronically. If you forget to bring it with you, you are out of luck!
3️⃣ The brewery will stamp your passport and you will select one free beer. Some spots let you choose whatever you want and others have a limited passport menu.
4️⃣ Use your passport as early as Dec 1 and all the way through April 30, 2025!
Several of the spots on this passport are kid friendly! Here’s the list of participating businesses:
🍺 @austinbeerworks (turfed play area)
🍺 @sprinklevalley_abw (playground)
🍺 @stwbrewing (playground)
🍺 @barkingarmadillo (turfed area and indoor arcade)
🍺 @theloosescrewtaylor (brewery inside @oldtaylorhigh with a huge outdoor space plus a candy/ice cream shop and arcade inside)
🍺 @3rdlevelbrew (board games available)
🍺 @redhornbrew (board games available, 2 locations)
🍺 @infamousbrewing (they used to have a playground, not sure if it’s back!)
🍺 @tejasmeatsupplygtx (one stop on the Georgetown Square)
🍺 @mesquitecreekoutfitters another spot on the Georgetown Square)
🍺 @goldenrulegtx (3rd spot on the Georgetown Square)
🍺 @powerbrewingproject (Hutto)
🍺 @phantomwarriorbrewingco (Killeen)
