40 Best Cocktail Bars near Fort Erie

“The food was great here.
The service was very fast and very efficient. We ordered our meal very fast. And we only had to wait like 5-7 min, which was great because my family was very hungry and had a hankering for Thai food. If you get a windows seat, you can see the water, which is very relaxing, and the place also has relaxing music in the background, which sets the mood.
Prices are more than fair, and you get to choose how much spice you want in your food. This place is by far the best Thai place I've been to. This restaurant was definitely a do over. I recommend the shrimp pad Thai. I highly recommend this place.“

“Been looking for great wings and cold beer. Tired of the same chain restaurants. Well I found my new place that provides just that. Wings were hot and crispy. Just the way I like them. Can't wait to try more menu items in the future. Great job!!“

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

“Amazing food and drink!!!!“

“This place was great! I’m an NA beer drinking and my husband prefers tea & vodka. We came to this bar not knowing what to expect. We sat at the bar and we were greeted by both bartenders. I ordered an NA Italian beer and my husband asked them to make him something like a White Russian. The first bartender (we didn’t get his name) said he could make something even better, so he did. My husband really enjoyed it. It took some time for us to finish our 1st drinks because we were watching Aaron making the most beautiful drinks ever. There was so much passion into the drinks he was putting out. So we asked him if he could make us each a drink. I explained to him that I don’t drink alcohol, and he asked me a lot of questions, to see what types of drinks I like and flavors. He also asked if I had any dietary restrictions, which I answered, no. He then asked my husband the same types of questions. and then, he went to work. He was like a drink wizard! He served us two stunning looking drinks and words cannot even describe the way these drinks tasted! I don’t remember what was in my non-alcoholic cocktail, but I do know it had lemon and lime juice, and part of an egg white. It was phenomenal! Another great thing about him was that he told us the history of some of the liquors he was using in my husband’s drinks and the different flavors. He was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and a fantastic bartender! I work right around the corner, so my husband and I are looking forward to going back to see what Aaron can create for us next!
The atmosphere was very nice, the restaurant/bar is very clean and has such a great vibe.“

“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!“

“Have the occasion to make our first visit on our 14th wedding anniversary. Our server / bartender Katie was outstanding and the food was completely off the hook! I would totally recommend everything in the menu... How do I know?... Because we ordered everything off the menu it was that good! A great place to visit and great people!“

“TeLly fun place, excellent whiskey and craft beer selection, great craft cocktails esp. the Espresso Martini. Food is limited to specialty sandwiches and pizzas both are worth having. Theater themed vibe with old black and white movies playing. A cool place to hang out.“

“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 ♥️“

“Lovely, delicious dinner last night at Webster’s Bistro and Bar in NT! This restaurant is in a class all its own. The newly renovated Terrace Room is stunning in its decor and ambience! Excellent service! Love that you can converse without competing with loud music. Owners are present and so gracious. We weren’t there celebrating any special occasion but it was a special experience!“

“I stopped in to Hartman's while I was visiting Buffalo for the weekend. The brunch was amazing! Now that I'm back home I'm wishing we had a brunch restaurant like that in my town!“

“Came here because we heard it has "speakeasy" vibes. While the atmosphere is for sure unique amongst other Buffalo bars, I wouldn't really say it' like a speakeasy. The decoration seems more 1970s. The cocktails offered all seemed very intricate and had lots of ingredients and mixed alcohols. Many included vanilla. We got the Saturn and Pickaxe. The Saturn was very sour, and the Pickaxe was very bitter. The prices were quite high, but you are paying for the ambiance of your experience. The waitress was super attentive and cheerful, and you could also eat outside on the patio that is shared with No Fun.“

“Service was fantastic !!! Food and drinks were great .“

“We were a large group that stopped by for drinks and Heather C at the bar was wonderful,“

“I alway enjoy whatever cocktail I get from Ballyhoo, and my last visit there was no different. One of the best bars in town in my opinion with very reasonably priced drinks and excellent customer service. Not a very large bar space, but definitely worth checking out. They do serve a limited food menu as well, but I have not tried any yet.“

“love love love this place!“

“Went there before a play for dinner at Shea's Buffalo. This place is on the Chippewa bar strip, so we were not expecting much. Walking inside, it looks like a typical party/cocktail bar, brick walls, long bar, and tables opposite the bar with plastic chairs and Formica tables, so you are sitting in the bar. At 5:30PM on restaurant week before a nearby playing of Hamilton, we were the only diner's there (and only 4 others at the bar). Now the good part.... one of the best meals I have had in a long time!!!!! Waitress/bartender was prompt, attentive and friendly. The special for restaurant week that we had was $35 for soup/salad (I had soup), Duck with asparagus, yams, sprouts and and pie for dessert. This meal was fabulous! Perfect portion and perfect flavor. The caramel/peanut butter pie was luscious! On top of all this, we were there during happy hour, so $3 a beer. I highly recommend trying this place to eat, just don't expect a cozy, intimate atmosphere. You won't be disappoints, and you won't be broke.“

“Great Food Great People Great City“

“The food was delicious, as were the cocktails we ordered. Gracie was fun to have as our server and once she found out it was my daughter’s birthday, she brought her a complimentary mimosa and a dessert at the end of her meal! I will definitely go there again!“

“I cannot say enough about the staff at Hartman’s, but especially in the barrel room. Without going into detail, there was a pretty obnoxious crowd. The bartenders, especially our server Alyssa, handled the situation with grace and poise and compassion for their other customers. I was so impressed with their professionalism. To add, i have a fabulous experience every time I am here. Monica is another worker that we visit often because of how amazing she makes our experience. Overall, everyone who works in the barrel room is so talented and the energy is great. Kudos.“

“Cute safe spot in Downtown/Allentown. The staff is great. Drinks are reasonably priced. It's a charming and cute environment. I Was there the other night with some good friends and had a fantastic time. I just moved back home and found this new place. Love the atmosphere. Will be back soon!“

“Great Place before or after Sheas!“

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

“Wonderful ambiance. Great drinks. A little loud because they have big screen TVs to show soccer games, but you can't blame them. Soccer is a global sport, and there are plenty of other places to placate non-sports fans.

I will gladly come back here again in the future.“

“Still my fave restaurant eversince I moved to Buffalo“

“We were there for a Divas Who Drag Show on the patio which was splendid. Great entertainment, tacos & margaritas, what could go wrong? The show also coincided with a popular brand of tequila samplings for those of legal age.
We were out on the patio, being lavished with free samples, a very intuitive waitress and saucy entertainment ? A platter of fresh tortilla chips with 5 different dips started us off. The chips were freshly made and still warm and the dips were made with all fresh ingredients, nothing canned or jarred. I couldn't make up my mind on which tacos to try so I chose a Pastor (grilled pork, onions with grilled pineapples on a fresh corn shell) taco and a Southern BBQ Chicken on a flour soft shell taco with coleslaw & cilantro. So good ? ?
To top off our evening we indulged in Dessert Nachos, freshly fried, warm nachos piled high with warm caramel & chocolate sauce drizzled liberally over the chips, then topped with a large dollop of fresh whipped cream. We shared this dish amongst our table. What a great Wednesday night out. Mexican delicacies, adult beverages, Divas Who Drag show, great friends and it was raining dollar bills ya'll.“

“Love falley! Their white balsamic salad dressing is the best!“

“Ash had the absolute best service for our bachelor party event.

Ash was great she had an everything we ordered to us right away and the service was great and timely.

Everyone should come to Patrick’s rooftop and request Ash as their server!“
