31 Best Cocktail Bars near North Tonawanda

“We stopped in on a Tuesday because we were shopping in the area and are so glad we did! The waitstaff was friendly and attentive, the ambiance was nice (maybe the music could be lowered), and the food was amazing! I had the duck two ways and it was gorgeous and perfectly cooked. He had the enormous pork chop, also cooked perfectly and juicy. Great cocktails and apps as well. Highly recommend.“

“On the phone Alex is especially great. He was very accommodating.“

“We're from Indiana and It was great stopping in to see our cousin who owns Mint. It was such a great time catching up and seeing what a great place she has put together. Wonderful food and perfect atmosphere. I would love to bring my acoustic duo from here and play for an evening in Buffalo sometime. This would be our kind of place!“

“Fugazi is one of my favorite bars in Buffalo! They have such a large variety of cocktail options and wonderful bartenders! Frankie and Dustin always have great recommendations for drinks and are so sweet and welcoming to everyone, you can tell they’re very beloved by all patrons. I typically go on nights they’re working because I love the atmosphere they provide, they have excellent music choices and make the whole bar feel like a room full of longtime friends getting together even if it’s full of people coming for the first time! I feel so honored to have this bar and it’s employees in Buffalo and in the LGBTQ+ community ♥️“

“This place is hands-down one of the best cocktail bars I’ve ever been to! The vibe is cozy yet lively, and every drink feels like a little work of art. Huge shoutout to Meg, the bartender—she’s not only incredibly skilled but also makes every visit fun with her energy and top-notch recommendations. I tried The Locker Room, and wow… it’s a game-changer. Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or just looking for a great night out, this spot is a must-visit. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Intimate vibe. lovely decor. food was delicious- loved the wonton starter, scallop fettuccine, and braised short ribs. Service was great! Will be returning!“

“Such a hidden gem, the cocktails were amazing, atmosphere was very suave, it's what I imagine the now defunct Playboy Lounges of the 1960s were like back in their hayday, and the service was fantastic. Our server was Amira and she made our stop so memorable. The idea of the hiddenness of the High Violet helps promote the speakeasy atmosphere.“

“The food was The bomb, the drinks was the bomb, the waitress was the bomb !!“

“Very quiet, adorable restaurant in the heart of Fort Erie. We had the chicken green curry with steamed rice, pad Thai, fried taro root, and sticky rice with mango. All of the food was excellent, an the chef took some time to come out and explain some menu options

It was our first time having sticky rice with mango, and I would go back for that alone. It was delicious. The perfect dessert for a cold winter day.

The service and food are excellent.

Also, side note, the restaurant is immaculately clean and perfectly decorated.

Could not have enjoyed our meal more“

“The food at Beacon Grille is amazing, we love the charred octopus every time, The duck was outstanding as well. We both had 2 rounds of the downtown cheerio which was a fun nod to the city, what really stood out to me, though, was the attention to detail, I watched the restaurant manager meticulously measure each table with a tape measure to ensure they were perfectly spaced, and even the placement of the silverware and napkins were exact. That level of care is shown with every part of the dining experience, you can tell this team takes pride in what they do.“

“5/5. I cannot say enough about my recent experience hosting a get together for 12 people on Sept. 7th. We used the private room, great for an intimate gathering of our size. The food and drinks were perfect and the staff made it all the better. Thank you and we will see you soon.“
