50 Best Bars near Fort Erie

“A quaint little place on the river… great vibe, delicious food and Lauren was a blast to have as a server… she really made it a great experience!“

“Went there for Father’s Day turned away at door at about 3.30 pm. They said some staff did not show up would not get food for about an hour. There was hardly any people in it. They told us to go to another restaurant down the street. The barrel. Coming back there were a lot of cars in front of chucks. Will not be going back there. Never heard of a restaurant sending you to another restaurant. Came all the way from Hamilton for our son to take us there.“

“Best wings ever!! I am a fussy wing customer and have found the perfect wing at Take Two! Service is great and the owner I have forgotten his name is the nicest man.“

“I love this place. food & service top notch. I wish I got the name of the server we had today... she was amazing. as I took my parents out for lunch today. 1st time for them... we all enjoyed very much thank you!“

“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!“

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“

“I’m so glad I stumbled upon Duende during a quick trip to Buffalo. Tucked away in an industrial stretch where you’d never expect to find such a lively bar scene, it turned out to be a real gem. Gabriel, the bartender, was incredibly warm and attentive, and the mix of locals and live musicians gave the place a cozy, lived‑in charm. The food was genuinely good, too. A wonderful surprise all around.“

“Great place! Friendly Bartender, great wings and awesome beer list. We’ll be back“

“Fattey Beer is one of the good ones.

Mike M. and the team know beer, but more importantly, they know people. The selection is strong. The service is steady. The events give the place life.

It has become a reliable spot in the 14217 — a place with good beer, good energy, and a team that makes you feel welcome every time you walk in.

That matters. And Fattey Beer does it well.“

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

“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.“

“Just the coolest place with the coolest vibe and the coolest humans. That's all“

“just awesome!! can not say anything else but awesome“

“Friendly bartenders and patrons. Lots of tvs to watch sports on. Go Bills!“

“Great location to enjoy a few pints and some comfort foods before a Sabres game. Easy walking distance to/from the Metro-line.“

“It is an amazing dream to turn an industrial dead zone into a lively vibrant atmosphere. It is a welcoming, family friendly space with various options to spend great time with friends and community. Projecting soccer games on silos can only be unique to Buffalo in the entire world. Congratulations on making a dream come true.“

“I love the owners, music, and food. This place is a vibe- best servers.❤️“

“Loved the atmosphere!!! Gabriel was our bartender and took such good care of us!! We will be back for sure!“

“The food was awesome; you can tell a great chef starts with the best ingredients. First, the bread and focaccia were perfectly “croccante.” The tuna carpaccio and branzino were delicate and flavorful, and the sides of Utica greens and potatoes were also better accompaniments than you can get anywhere. All of the staff including Mike our waiter especially, were great. Grazie!“

“The lady bartender said that the reason why it has a dancing tomato on the business sign is because the owner who started the business was nicknamed “Tomato” because he had red hair and freckles and a round face and resembled a Tomato. Very chill atmosphere, very casual and laid back“

“Great place, AMAZING owner!!!“

“The restaurant is new. In lewiston and we all know there's quite a few italian restaurant but each one is different and Unique. I enjoy every visit they make you feel like family and the food is amazing. getting to know the owner's Mario & Pamela had been a total joy. see you soo“

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

“The team here operates like clockwork… smooth, precise, and on point. Every drink is more than just a sip, it’s a full sensory experience. From the stunning presentation to the captivating aromas and a playlist that nails the vibe, this place sets the bar high.“

“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.“
