Daydreamer

Austin, Texas

Regional honoree for Best U.S. Bar Team at the 2025 Spirited Awards.

Bar Team (Central), Daydreamer builds its program around champagne, caviar, and martinis, a combination that sounds more Mayfair than East Austin, but the execution carries the city's trademark informality. A dedicated ramos gin fizz machine handles the labour-intensive classic with mechanical efficiency, freeing bartenders to focus on the creative cocktails, zero-proof options, and wine list that round out a program designed for long evenings rather than quick stops.
