During the Day it's a good to average coffee shop. At Night it is considerably worse. Drunken DJs, obnoxiois and arrogant bartenders, and bad vibe. The staff are all pretty friendly and helpful- however the Mid-Miley Cyrus PickMe girl and the Chubby aging "bro" are arrogant and discurteous. Take it down a notch- its BUDA not LA, NYC, or Miami. Not even Austin- no need for this attitude at a coffeeshop. Go in the AM or don't go at all.

They don't have a kitchen, but you can order from a neiboring business. The full bar is expansive.

Great spot. Hip hop...comedy...drink menu kinda week though...has nice fancy drinks but forgot about common folk....but it's a full bar so u can still get whatever you want instead...just not as easy as from the menu. Music mix is nice and inclusive. Refreshing to have good music out here in the BTX!

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.

Had the worst experience here. I told the assistant gm MARCELL about a broken glass I saw underneath the table, that someone else broke, by the way but, punishes me? and “cut me off” even tho, I wasn’t intoxicated, I had only ordered four drinks for myself and was ordering for everyone else on my tab, he proceeded to “cut me off” and when I confronted him respectfully, he told me a complete lie, that one of his bartenders told him, I was breaking glasses all over the bar while ordering a drink, like what? not only is the lies of an assistant manager a complete joke, this whole place is a joke, I’m not from here and came to have a nice time here in Buda for my bestfriends birthday and It completely ruined my entire night. For someone of authority to lie on my character is exactly why I’m writing this review. He saw the one girl (me) he’s never seen before and blames me for the entirety of the problem. I will never come back to this place. Just know they will treat you how they are feeling at the moment. That’s all I have to say.

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.

Use to be great neighborhood spot. They got new management and it’s now trashy dirty austin 6 street bar. I’ve seen two bar fights and lots of drugs around. Never going there again. Bartender Andy was no help after complaining to him.

If you give them a bill that needs change, they'll ask you if you need change hoping you say no. 5/10 service.
This place is great. Nice chill environment. Super nice place and staff is excellent. Djs are also a great added vibe in the establishment.

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.

Greta Service by River and the atmosphere is very relaxed in here, can’t wait to come back, only problem I had was the food here was microwaved BUT River did inform me that this was mostly a Bar and not really a Bar and Food place. I was welcomed to buy food from next door and bring it back. Great coffee and alcohol. Definitely comin back.
