The drinks are great! The food is amazing, we love the empanadas and the quick bites they have. Perfect combo!
Great vibe to go and get drinks. The chef has new specials weekly so there’s always something new to try! Love that they have a small plate and dinner portion option so you can try many different dishes or get something small after work. New favorite spot on Elmwood!
Intimate cocktail lounge with specialty cocktails Limited wine and beer list. Menu of small plates rounds out a perfect experience.
Loved the Lorelei cocktail; came in to try it out after seeing it marketed on your Instagram business page. Jonah put it in for me and Josh made it behind the bar.

We had a group meet here for a birthday, the drinks were great, service was attentive, and the food was delicious, and of course every room is decorated so cool, including the private room we were in, the gold room.

Every one is delicious and unique. The staff …
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.
I reserved the Jungle Room for my birthday celebration, but last minute we went from 7 to 12 people. They were so quick and accommodating, moving us to the Red Room without any hassle. The vibe was absolutely perfect, it felt like a little slice of a fancy NYC spot, tucked away in this Buffalo speakeasy. It truly brought my …
High Violet is a small upscale bar with a cozy, intimate vibe. I had the "The 12 Houses 14" cocktail, which was beautifully presented. I loved the tarot card detail. The drink had great flavor and balance and the overall atmosphere felt elevated yet comfortable. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy thoughtful cocktails and a refined setting.
