Our mixologists were great! Loved what they were doing while creating our cocktails. Very friendly and welcoming. We tried a couple cocktails and I also had a nice rare craft beer from Upland Brewing out of Columbus, IN. Stop in and get something different and adventurous!

What an incredible hidden gem! The False Front, tucked away inside David’s Delicatessen & Coffee, offers a truly unique experience. By day, it’s a cozy deli serving delicious breakfast, lunch, coffee, and sandwiches. But after 6 PM, it transforms into an amazing speakeasy with a bar that slides into place—such a cool concept!
It was our first time in New Buffalo, and we couldn’t have been more impressed. Our bartender, David, was fantastic! We later learned he was just filling in, but you’d never know—his drinks were expertly crafted, and he made us feel so welcome. He even gave us some great local recommendations, including Tom Cat, which we’re excited to try.
The other bartender was equally amazing and clearly knew her stuff. The vibe, the creativity, and the service here are unmatched. For a truly one-of-a-kind experience, we highly recommend The False Front!

This is a great spot for a delicious cocktail. Alex was our bartender and she was fantastic. 10/10 would recommend ordering a mezcal cocktail from her. Overall this is a great bar in New Buffalo and will be returning with family.

Such a great bar! The vibe is awesome and the drinks are
This was a super cool spot to stop for a night cap! First, we loved the concept of reopening the deli at night as kind of a secret speak easy. The bartenders were hip and knowledgeable, the cocktail menu was well varied and well designed, and the drinks were amazing! My wife chose a Cosmo and it was delicious, and I had an old fashioned that was among the most carefully crafted I’ve ever had for the price. On a date night? Go here! Out with friends? Go here! Rough day of fishing? Go here! Is your favorite bar an Applebees where you can slurp a Bahama Mama? Go here and learn how great a bar and a drink can be!

The best place in the area for specialty cocktails. Everything is made really well. If you disagree just take a look at the cocktail menu and then try one. Really impressive.

Every single person probably has their own idea about what a great bar should be, but what False Front has created is a space that is intimate, hip and friendly. Superior attention to detail and engaging staff launch this place into the stratosphere where the Front is a dazzling, luminescent comet with nothing that compares to it. Ask about the Belfast Agreement.

Fabulous! Had an extensive selection to choose from. Great small space. Knowledgeable mixologist and despite being a small space felt very comfortable. You won't be disappointed with your drink or your experience. Can't wait to go back!
