34 Best Bars near East Aurora

“It had/gave off very chill vibes, only one thing that I didn’t really enjoy was that it was quite warm in there. Then again, that could’ve just been what I was wearing.“

“We just had our Son’s wedding there. Highly recommend the place. Food was excellent and the staff was very friendly. Their catering was terrific. Definitely would recommend this place for your next party. Also use Smoking Gourmet there in house catering“

“Maybe we were overhyped. Everything I heard and read said this place was legendary. But the menu was limited: beef on Weck and buffalo wings... or if you want a pizza, you can get the same options but on a crust with cheese. Otherwise, fairly standard sports bar apps.
The inside seemed too dark for a lunch, and the 'outside' area with lots of snow was crowded. Service was polite, but slow for such a small menu. We're told the place always gets a wait by noon and yet it takes 25 minutes to get your food even with so few options for entrees seems uncalculated and unnecessarily slow.
Food was good, but I'd say I've had equal quality wings and sauce at a bit fairer price. And the beef on weck seemed on par with Charlie the butcher, but comes with a handful of chips, not fries, at $15 for just the sandwich? I couldn't go 5 stars. Cost of business, I suppose

Parking: Big lot hidden behind the snow bank, but the access wasn't easy to locate.“

“I just had my dad‘s 90th surprise birthday party at Kodiak Jack’s. Lisa was amazing and made the experience flawless. She was so easy to work with and had everything set up as we had planned. Food was amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone!“

“My boyfriend & I came here for dinner while on an overnight in East Aurora. Outstanding food and service! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive and even changed the channel for us on the TV closest to us. The Kobe beef burger was phenomenal! Highly recommend. The service was more welcoming than other restaurants we went to in the area.“

“We just got a pretzel and some soda at the walk up window the other day, just a cool thing to be able to get a snack with a kid on a nice night without having to walk into the bar!

Kid-friendliness: Walk up window option is nice!“

“This place is not a dive bar. Yes they categorize themselves that way but they have great food at a great price. Their burgers weigh at least a half pound probably more, drinks are super cheap and the atmosphere and staff is awesome. Love this place it's a new regular for“

“Went to 99 for New Year’s Day brunch and had a great atmosphere and the breakfast pizza was delicious! Perfect brunch meal to share“

“We came in on a busy Friday evening (10/25). The place was packed. We were seated right away and watched as plates were quickly being brought out of the kitchen. Our own food arrived very quick. It was so hot and fresh. I’ve been to other Tully’s locations but have never experienced such quick service with the food still being steaming hot. Our waitress was attentive and kept stopping by to check in on us. We were in and out in under an hour. My husband loved his bacon ranch chicken sandwich and said the macaroni salad was very good. The chicken wing dip and mozzarella sticks are some of our favorite things here.“

“The food is really good. Today we had Bavarian Onion soup and the German platter( sausage , cabbage roll, German potato salad) delicious .“

“we made reservations for 4:45 and the 4 of us were seated right away and handed menus...then it went downhill from there .. at least three servers and a hostess (all extremely young ..like just out of High School maybe...) working for an average Friday dinner service... waited 15 minutes before asking a passing waitress to take our drink orders...she sent over our waitress who apologized for the mix up..we ordered a draft beer, a blueberry lemonade with vodka, a Pepsi, and ice water with lemon and two extra ice waters for those of us with alcoholic drinks...and we ordered an appetizer to share between the 4 of us .. loaded fries....there was apparently some confusion as to who was supposed to be our server... ok, no problem...those things happen... another 15 minutes and a different server brought out the single beer for one of us .. then nothing... another 10 minutes and I got up and asked another waitress if she could find our server and maybe get the rest of our drinks to the table...she said, oh, your server is under age so she can't bring the alcohol...I told her we already had one out of the two alcoholic beverages but not the other and none of the non-alcoholic beverages... she went to find our server...who kept disappearing into a little back room or something...5 minutes later .. my alcoholic lemonade came but not the soda or waters. I again had to ask for the other drinks.. 10 minutes and two waters and the Pepsi showed up .. neither water had a lemon in it as my father ordered....asked the server and she brought a plate with a lemon on it .. but not the third water... my son and I just shared one .. because, obviously this was too difficult an ask to be served our beverages accurately, in an acceptable time and all at the same time... another 5 minutes the appetizer arrived with one small plate and no silverware or napkins... dropped off quickly and walked away quickly before we could ask for them. annoyed.. we ate the Messy, loaded fries off the one big plate they were served on with our fingers!! Our server was again, nowhere to be found!! the other servers were completely oblivious to us as well, even though we were trying to make eye contact with them and show our displeasure...not one asked if there was a problem or went to find our server!!... just as we finished our shared appetizer, hands greasy and messy from eating loaded fries with our fingers and no napkins, our meals arrived, along with our long lost server... She set them down in front of us .. about to walk away ..not ask if everything looked good or if we needed anything else . I spoke up about the need for silverware and napkins!! she never apologized or took away our empty appetizer platter or asked if anyone needed refills on drinks... we did, but we weren't about to go down that road again!!...she brought three out of four wrapped silverware...I got up myself to get another because she again disappeared. . Food was good ...except the pizza ...just ok. fish fry my father had was excellent he said. sat waiting to see our server again to ask for boxes and our check...The server finally showed up again with our check...WE had to ask for 4 boxes...she didn't ask us if we needed them... I also asked for a lid for my dressing to take home ..she looked at it for size and still brought the wrong size with our boxes. I just took one off my father's empty dressing container instead of asking for a different one .. because apparently expecting the bare minimum from this server and restaurant tonight was a bridge too far. I'm not a complainer.. I tip very generously...in fact we spent about $100 tonight and still gave our inept server a $20 tip .. although she definitely didn't deserve it tonight by her job performance, we tried to consider she was just having a bad day... but, as a former server myself, even when I'm having a bad day I apologize for mistakes and try to make up for them... she didn't do anything!! The BARE MINIMUM is all that is expected. Holland Hotel failed to deliver the bare minimum t“
