33 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!“

“We live right around the corner from Equal Parts (less than a block), so I've been following them on Instagram for a bit to see what they're all about. The more I've learned about them the more I wanted to visit. I was optimistic that they could be our new neighborhood bar.

We finally got an opportunity to visit this evening, on a Thursday around seven. When we first walked up it seemed packed full and I was a little anxious, just because I avoid crowded places. I looked inside to make sure there was room and I was pleasantly surprised that there were a few four tops available. Most folks were at the bar. I prefer a table anyways, so it was perfect.

We got to a table and someone came up right away. I ordered a Paper Plane and Matt got the Lagunitas IPA (um, great price at $6!). I had already heard the owners were from San Francisco, which makes us so happy because we happen to be from the same area!

We ordered the pasta chips and flatbread to snack on. They were both delicious! I love sweet and savory and the dip that came with the pasta chips definitely delivered on that!

I also got the best dirty martini I've had yet! I always want to ask for three olives, but don't want to be a pain. This one came with three olives without me asking!

We'll definitely be back lots! So close, so welcoming, such delicious cocktails, very reasonable prices. Everyone was so kind, there was no pretension whatsoever.

They're the neighborhood bar we've been waiting for. So super happy!“

“Great food, great portions and great prices. Service was great. Family friendly but also a nice spot for date night. Would highly recommend.“

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

“Party of 6. Drinks are fantastic. Food not so much and here is why. If you are in the large lounge where we were, your tables are low round coffee tables, so you eat hunched over for something like a beet salad which ended up more on the floor than in our mouths. Charcuterie tray is scant and feeds 2 at best. The oysters were watery and the taste was slightly off. We ordered 8 small plates and everyone said we are gonna need an ABV run for dinner. So I recommend small parties - no more than 4, else you will collide with the next group of tables. Great place for drinks but plan as pre or post dinner stop over like you would Savoy.“

“Best food in buffalo hands down !“

“I don’t know where to start, one of the best all around dining experiences of my life. Started with the toasted marshmallow espresso martini which I had to try three of to confirm how delicious they were. Then me an my two friends order the octopus, lamb meatballs, and bone marrow. Rarely does every appetizer hit but these were all out of the park home runs. For the entree I got the roast chicken, and my friends got the two different duck entrees and a takeout container was not necessary. The vibe and service was just as good as the food, we also had the chance to talk with the owners father who gave us some background on the operation and overall just a very friendly environment with unbelievable food, and not very expensive for the value. I will be back again!“

“Service was excellent (thank you David) Food and excellent, the bartenders were excellent. 10 out of 10“

“Was our first time going to this place. Was a little loud but it was okay. Food was delicious everything we order was so good they got a great cooker. Waitress was very nice and polite very professional and there was a gentleman don't know if he is the owner or manager with a beard super nice awesome person always made sure if we were okay. We definitely will be going back to eat.“

“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“
