Nate's

Nate's is the ultimate neighborhood go-to in downtown Buda! This place has it all--casual yet classy, with cocktails that aren't even measured (love that!). They're decently priced too, so you get a great drink without breaking the bank. The back patio is amazing, strung with lights that give off such a romantic and homey vibe. They have live music and awesome DJs that keep the energy just right. It's an all-around fantastic local spot where you can unwind and feel right at home. Highly recommend!

Buda on Main Street is one of the cutest treasures. This was a great point to stop and park and make a day of it if you want to walk the whole Main Street. I loved this little plaza and on a cold but beautiful Saturday, my friend and I were almost the only ones inside at 11:30AM. I got a dirty chai latter with oat milk to go even though we sat on a lovely couch in the back for a few hours catching up. It's such a cozy place with a few nooks and tables off to the side around the bigger main bar. She has champagne. I do t know that I've ever seen a full bar and coffee place before...maybe that's strange for me and I haven't lived LOL. The bartender did say that we are welcome to bring in our own food from a surrounding restaurant as they didn't have a kitchen but we just drank our beverages for the couple of hours we were there. Very cute spot. The surrounding shops were really special with local Buda wares that make lovely gifts and keepsakes. I can't believe I live 15 minutes away and haven't been before.

I have a subconscious contention when determining night time hangouts; style vs substance. What goes into this mental assessment is ambiance, quality of drinks and/or food, live music and convenience. Obviously, all amenities aren't present at each establishment so I weigh it accordingly. Now, I rather like the quaint and small town feel of mainstreet USA in Buda so I have an affinity already built into my selection. Which brings me to Nate's. A small but very much Austin-esc vibe contained in a little bar with a huge picturesque deck dominated by old oaks growing through the frame. Off the bat I'll note that since they don't have a food menu but they do allow outside food to be brought into the facilities. With that being said there are a few really good restaurants and which don't mind making your food to go. This all means it's a collaborative effort between the restaurants and I definitely appreciate the openness. Walking in the bar is the dominate feature running the length of the establishment. Its ceilings are wide open with huge white beams. While I'm no structural engineer I surmise the building must have been an old railhouse converted into a solon or at least that's the vibe I get. Also note, I've noticed this in another restaurant in Kyle, but whatever they clean with STINKS. Something about it really turns my stomach, but that's just me. The bathrooms are decent but as the drinks flow, the concern diminishes.... Now the staff are friendly and fast however even in slow times their attention wavers a bit. I asked for a coffee hot and got it cold, but it was fairly decent in terms of flavor. My girlfriend got a rita and wasn't impressed. This was all on the first visit mind you. The second visit was later at night and I got to hang out with the firepits. I gotta admit being under the stars on a cool March night with the lights strung through the Oak tree a fire warming my body and my girlfriend at my side made for a perfect evening. My drinks weren't complex so I can't really complain about much but give high praise. Finally since they're pet friendly my winglady was extremely happy with her "Paris Hilton" pet in tote. Overall, the drinks aren't exactly the talk of the town but after a few on one of the best porches in town it can be quickly overlooked. The place is safe the waitstaff are decent and the prices are comparable. Again, while not having a food menu, other restaurants more than adequately make up the difference if you're willing to walk a couple extra steps. Would I go again? You betcha and I'll be the one on the porch with a cocktail and a smile on my face.

Hey if i drink, i drink here, you should too. Great cocktails. Nice vibe, lovely people. I feel lucky to sip and sit here.

This place does not serve food it's just drinks only and the vibe is just not good. Especially when you see illegal drugs being used. Their turn over of staff speaks volumes too. If you want a loud environment and somewhere to go and you looking for something extra than drinks by all means go..

Looking to have a chill time with drinks? Head to Nate's. The drinks are pretty good and around the usual drink price of $10. The bartenders are really nice and actually pay attention to you. On Saturday nights there's live music outside. You have the option to sit indoors or outdoors. And the best part is there's plenty of parking. It's a cute spot in downtown Buda that I personally enjoy going into.

We did a day trip to Buda and Kyle today. I found @losolivosmarket_buda when searching for a restaurant with outdoor seating. It turns out that midday the sun is beating down there so we ended up @natesbuda patio.We ordered Barbacoa Doughnuts (the best dish), Foie Gras Tartine, Squid Ink Carbonara, Grilled Chicken Thigh and Seared Butternut Squash. The food was unique and pretty good. We ordered drinks from @natesbuda. I had the Queen of Hearts, my husband had the draft Eastcider and my Dad had Lemonade. The patio was perfectly shaded under the trees and there were fans and misters.After lunch, we shopped @losolivosmarket_buda for jams and sauces.

I sat at the bar for 10 minutes while the rude bartenders ignored me and then proceeded to go take orders from 3 parties who came in way after me until I said something! One of them had even "conversed" with me and answered a question and still didn't take my order.

Love this place! I enjoy taking my dog to the patio and listening to so much good music plus the people are so nice. It is just a nice neighborhood music venue,

I love hanging out at Nate's. They have killer cocktails as well as a full coffee bar. My wife drinks a latte and I get an old fashion. They have music and comedy at night as well as many other community based events during the day. Grab a bite next door at Dos Olivos and kick your feet up at Nates by one of the fire pits. Bring old friends, make new friends, and tip your bar tenders. It is always a great time.
