The editorial take

Stargazer's cocktail menu leans into playful, layered constructions like the banana-forward Flying Plantains and a clarified milk punch called Uncle W. The wine list is compact but Italian-focused, spanning sparkling to red, and the zero-proof program offers real alternatives, from botanical ferments to spirit-free cocktails. A local beer and cider selection rounds out a versatile bar.

What should I order?
Start with the Flying Plantains, a dark, toasty Oaxacan old fashioned blending mezcal, reposado, rum, Averna, banana liqueur, and demerara syrup. For a lighter turn, the Pimm's N. 2000 with strawberry-basil balsamic syrup fits warm weather. Non-drinkers can order It Was All Yellow, a zero-proof gin-style creation.
Who will enjoy this place?
Cocktail drinkers who appreciate intricate, descriptive menus and a Bartender's Choice for surprises. Wine lovers will find a compact but credible Italian list, and those avoiding alcohol have thoughtful zero-proof options beyond standard sodas.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
The cocktail menu is unusually specific, with eight named drinks that show a range of techniques and flavor ideas, from tiki-inspired rum blends to a Nordic-accented aquavit number. The wine list's Italian focus and the serious zero-proof program add uncommon breadth for a cocktail bar.
