Description

An oasis along the commercial strip in North Miami, this funky acoustic music stronghold has a relaxed community vibe, where customers do indeed know each other. It's cozy, with a smattering of tables, a bar, and a stage that supports live music and readings. The friendly, casual service, then, fits right in.

    Fernando Perdomo on Solo Debut, Home Is Wherever You Are: "It's a Mantra"

    For a musician who once seemed to be everywhere at once, Fernando Perdomo seems unusually humble, if not by choice, then certainly by necessity. And the launch party for his debut solo album, Home i... More »

    Jim Wurster and the Atomic Cowboys at Luna Star Cafe April 15

    Thu, April 14, 2011

    Jim Wurster is a musician of serious intent. And his earliest efforts with Black Janet bolstered the perception. Still, Wurster really came into his own when he went solo and subsequently formed the Atomic Cowboys, making a 180-degree turn and... More »

    Luna Star Cafe is a Good Beer and Live Music Mecca

    Luna Star Cafe's menu opens with "We do not sell Budweiser, Coors, Heineken or Amstel Light. Instead, allow us to guide you through the intriguing world of beer as we know it." But where other places ... More »

  • 2012 | Best Open-Mike Night

    If you're a musician, performance artist, poet, or spoken-wordsmith, follow the map in the sky to Luna Star Cafe in North Miami, now in its 16th year of awesomeness. There you can display your talent in an open-minded open format, with a supporting cast of more than 100 cosmopolitan beers (including a Florida brew called Holy Mackerel and a Belgian one called Kwak; Coors, Heineken, and Amstel Light did not make the cut). There is also a menu that includes duck wings, crabcakes served with a... More »

  • 2006 | Best Open-Mike Night

    The what-ifs are haunting. They say you have a beautiful voice. That you can dance. That you're really funny. Are you truly an undiscovered star? Whether it's music, dance, theater, or comedy, get over the stage fright and test your material before a live audience. Miami is not, for sure, New York, but at least we have Luna Star's open mike twice a month (every second and fourth Saturday, beginning at 8:00 p.m.). "It's a free-for-all. Music, poetry, comedy. You can do whatever you want,"... More »

  • 2004 | BEST COFFEEHOUSE

    Maybe it's the lack of cold, dank weather, but Miami suffers from an unfortunate dearth of coffeehouses, at least the kind without corporate headquarters based in Seattle. And while there are plenty of cafecito windows and stop-and-gulps for locals to get their caffeine fix, places like Luna Star Café embody the true spirit of what a coffeehouse is supposed to be. It's all about community, and if you don't know the name of the person at the table next to you when you walk in, you will... More »

  • 2004 | BEST OPEN-MIKE NIGHT

    Longevity for music clubs in this city is akin to "dog years." A decade run equals a lifetime anywhere else. Which means the biweekly open-mike night at Luna Star Café, now in its eighth year, has grown long in the tooth. But you'd never notice by the exuberance of the participants, a roster of volunteer songsters who begin signing up about 8:00 p.m. for a night that runs into the wee hours. Young guns getting their first taste of the spotlight and old folkies reliving their glory... More »

  • 2000 | Best Coffeehouse

    The chains are on the prowl, and they're everywhere. Although the good old-fashioned independent coffeehouses never had too strong a presence down here in Miami to begin with, they are on the verge of extinction today. Which is why now more than ever it's important to support your local java shop. Our choice: Luna Star, because it stands for everything a coffeehouse should be and everything Starbucks is not. Instead of browsing through grossly overpriced material goods -- coffee mugs for... More »
