50 Best Bars near Grand Island

“Definitely a place to go watch the Bills on a Monday night! We stopped in for a beer and had some of the best nachos ever! TJ the owner made his rounds to see how things were and was a pleasure to meet! Jenn the bartender was fun to chat with while we sat at the bar. We’ll be back when we’re in the area!“

“My kind of bar love the atmosphere, nice bartenders, stop in every time I’m in town“

“From out of town. Recommended to us by Island Shipping Center. Was spot on. Great food,service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“The Village Inn is truly a hidden gem! Grand Island is so fortunate to have a place with such delicious food, excellent service & a warm family friendly atmosphere. Kudos to owner Mike Carr and his awesome staff! The Village Inn has been a favorite of mine for many years, and I always look forward to my next visit.“

“We ordered the loaded nachos with chicken, light on cheese, and a stinger sub and fries last night. Delicious. Loved the food and the cheerful young girl who served us at the Drive thru window.“

“Wow, this establishment is a far cry away from the pirate bar it used to be back five some odd years ago. We came here from Hamilton for a new years dinner. Had the place to ourselves, it was nice. A gentleman, by the name of Harmeet owns this establishment. Very friendly gentleman, very inviting, greeted us and told us about the food and displayed a passion for his food unlike any I've seen before. He makes most his food and all his sauces from scratch. Things like the fries and mozzarella sticks he gets in bulk, but he ensures a quality provider. The mozza sticks had that nice gooey stringy stretch to them. The fries were the first hint this meal was going to be good. Well seasoned and crunchy, done just right. My brother's girlfriend had them in a poutine and the serving was very generous, definitely fill you up to the max with one order. She was very happy with this dish. My brother had the parm chicken sandwich and I had the Nashville Chicken sandwich. The chicken patty was perfect, so juicy. The Nashville wasn't your traditional style sandwich (usually garnished with coleslaw, pickles, and tossed in Nashville sauce) it had the seasoning dry rubbed on, I think there was a sauce to it, but the chicken was so juicy it really didn't need much. It was topped with a slice cheddar, lettuce, onions, and I think there was tomato, but I'm not sure. It was so good it was gone before I had time to really analyze it lol. The key take away from this meal was my wifes chicken wings... Of anywhere we have ever had wings, these by far were the best we have ever had. The breading was thin and not overwhelming, good meat content too. Generous saucing (she got the honey hot), and they are also marinated to boot, absolutely phenomenal. Harneet has a skill for his homemade sauces, he let me try his dynamite sauce (which for most people I would say is at the top of their tolerance for hot sauce, he also has hotter), but the ballance of sweet to heat is perfect. I can not stay enough about how good this food was. The place doubles as a convenience store, so its very unassuming. This place is on the route for one of my favorite motorcycle routes, so I will be back 100%. Thank you for serving me, and the outstanding dining experience.“

“One of our favourite bars , great owners, staff and friendly regulars. Great music and pizza. Excellent place for music“

“My wife and I were in town from Montreal and were looking for a rarity in the Falls, a real pub. We immediately felt at home there. The local beer on tap was great, the vibe in the room was chill and the music (with apologies...Paige ?) was excellent. Really cool spot.“

“Went there for st. Patrick’s day. Couldn’t be more pleased. We had a reservation and got seated immediately. Service was fast and friendly and the food was out of this world. I think I’d sell my soul for more sticky toffee pudding. If you want an idea of their service I watched a man straight up slap a glass of beer out of the waitresses hands (he was a hand talker and it was an accident) and into the wall. She was super kind about it and someone (a manger or owner) came over and immediately changed out everything and cleaned everything up while the server got a new beer. Everyone was kind and quick about it and had I not happened to catch it out of the corner of my eye. they were so discrete Idt I would have. As a table we tried the Sheppards fries, the corned beef and cabbage, corned beef sandwich and sticky toffee pudding and all were incredible. Definitely will be back!“

“Went for a Sunday brunch and got the Huevos Rancheros and was pleasantly surprised by how good and delicious it was. I also had the Gypsy Juice as my beverage, along with some Pastelitos (beef) shared for the table. Those were just OK to me and I've had better elsewhere. My party and I sat outside for a nice day out on the patio and some people watching, and despite being the only ones out there while we were dining, we still had great service from our server.“

“So delicious!!! We enjoyed every single thing we ordered. Highly recommended!“

“Absolutely loved our dining experience last night! Truly our only great restaurant on Pine Avenue left! An one of handful of truly great restaurants left that are a genuine pleasure to dine in the city of Niagara Falls, NY.“

“My favorite bar in Buffalo. The vibes are immaculate, great drinks, and the food is insanely good. I cannot say enough good things about them.“

“Food was great. Bartender was attentive to service But DO NOT pay with a debit card if you value your money Their credit card system double charges at times holding your money until the false charge falls off. We are still waiting for some of our money to be released due to a second false charge“

“My husband and I went in with my brother and sister in law for a double date. It was my first time there and didn’t know what to expect. It was very fun atmosphere and the drinks were good. I really enjoyed the customer service from the bartenders. They talked to us and explained some of the drinks that I never heard of. It was great to have a convo rather than being ignored. My husband I will be going back and excited to try a different drink“

“I was here for a cousin’s wedding in Buffalo when we arrive to the tavern, the place was so incredibly busy. I couldn’t even think we would get food me and my family We sat down at a table and we got some service and everything was absolutely phenomenal. when I found out that the girl was making all the food, running it herself and taking the orders herself I was blown away She deserves a great modicum of respect and she deserves to be appreciated today“

“Fun place and fantastic vibe!“

“Perfect for late night tapas and wine with the girls. Friendly bartenders. Delicious olive oil cake!“

“Okay, my fiancé and I go a lot to the hamburg location never ever have a issue… unfortunately today on a Monday night we both got caught up in work late in the night so we went to the location downtown to grab food togo. When arriving home (a 25 minute drive) and opened bag there was No sauce and 6 sides of pickles that wasn’t asked for instead…. Called back right away and asked for a manger (emily), Emily was not only upset and frustrated with us because we are HUGE sauce people but also wanting to fix the issue right away.. we paid cash and opted for a e-gift card, Emily Right away emailed us $50 for our next visit. My fiancé and I had really hard day today and she made a bad day turn to a good ending,“

Years ago when Tom(RIP) had the place you always left Full ,Like the home fries you could beef that up a little more they could use alittle seasoning as well.Thanks for improving on the coffee refills,overall the food is okay. We'll be back !!! You gotta make your mind up about your hours !!!“

“Wanted a real bar, not a hotel bar while in Niagara Falls. Walked up and they had a Molson Canadian beer light in the window, found my bar. Walked in and went to the end of the bar by myself and ordered a Molson. The bartender, Frannie, said they didn't have it, haven't in years. Disappointed at first, but reminded of a lot of my hometown bars.
Sat alone drinking my beer when one of the regulars ordered a round of Duck farts. She then looked down at me and asked if I would do one too, I said sure. After the whole bar did a shot she invited me down to join them and asked me my story. We chatted a bit and then she introduced me to everyone in the bar.
I stated playing pool with two of the regulars and asked one of them what were all the plaques on the wall. He told me pool tournament plaques, as I beat him. Wasn't sure how that would work out. I bought a round of Duck farts and it was all good.
Had a great time. Areal local bar. Walk in and respect their house.“

“Pasta was overcooked. Sauce was sour. Had to ask for grated cheese twice before we got it. Same with water. The restaurant and bar were very busy but no excuse for the disorganization we experienced. Probably won't go back as Buffalo has many Italian restaurants with better food, atmosphere and prices. We went at the high recommendation of friends and were very disappointed.“

“Owner is like family!…plus live bands!“

“I love this place! It can become a little crowded sometimes but I definitely think it’s worth it for the atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and it’s always very clean! I live in the area and it’s nice to not have to travel far for a good tap. The only thing I really think they need to improve is the parking lot. There are about four parking spaces and on a busy night there is no street parking.“

“cod fish beer battered. a step above the pollock every other place calls haddock. cod is a large flaky white fish with tons of omega 3 fatty acids. and they have mixed drinks and beer on tap. hidden gem in the NorthTowns“

“Gina and the Chow team were quick to accommodate a surprising engagement party for my dear friend from college after a Bills Sunday home game no less! From the moment we walked in the Bartender was very friendly. She helped us with a small set up snafu when we forgot to bring tape and scissors. She also was very attentive and even let us put on her own playlist for the surprise vibes! As per usual, the cocktails were amazing and we got to see some of the first Christmas decorations being set up, which is a staple at the holiday season! What 100% host there again and definitely plan to!! Thank you to Gina and the entire staff!“

“Super Owners Very friendly bar, great customers, good food.“

“Brought the new year's in at this place nice people the bartender was very nice made a good drink the shot she made was good im not a chocolate shot drinker but it still tasted there was a couple in there they were polite they sat next to im more of a listener than a talker place worth stopping by“

“Visited Ivans for the first time this week. Went back for breakfast today. Great food. Great staff“

“Its a friendly place layed back and chill.yes its considered a hole in the wall type, but its one of the good ones. Its my home away from home since I moved to the area 6 months ago. Great wings on wendsday ($.50 wing day! And they are great!) Wish they had more food on other days but awww well.“

“It's a quintessential dive bar. Not a big selection of hard liquor or beers but the essentials are there. The food menu wasn't too big either. Sadly they are a CASH ONLY place but the bartenders are great and on the ball with everything.“

“Great vegan options- lovely spot.“
