Matinee is a fun restaurant with an excellent selection of whiskey, craft beer, and craft cocktails like the Espresso Martini. The food menu offers tasty specialty sandwiches and pizzas. The place has a theater-themed vibe with old black and white movies playing, making it a cool spot to hang out. The drinks are expertly made, especially the improved whiskey cocktail, which is considered the Truth. The atmosphere is adorable, featuring a silent film theme and a relaxed lounge feel. It’s a great place to visit after a show, but it can get crowded quickly. The staff, including the bartender Axel who mixes a killer drink, are very friendly and welcoming. Customers praise the top-notch service and the wide selection of beer and spirits. The pizzas are highly recommended, especially the flatbread pizza, which is crispy and topped with divine ingredients. The bathrooms are surprisingly clean and well-stocked. Overall, Matinee is a Buffalo gem perfect for enjoying drinks, meeting new people, and experiencing a lively, vintage-inspired environment.
