High Violet

“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.”

“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 vision for the day to life: friendly staff, an incredible atmosphere, and great drink prices with amazing flavors. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate.”

“3rd time I've been here and EVERY SINGLE TIME I'm impressed. From the staff to the food to the atmosphere/mood. It a little swanky and a little dark inside, PERFECT for a first date or date night with your best friends! Cocktails take an extra few minutes but they are worth it! Every one is delicious and unique. The staff is outstanding (Jonah, has waited on us twice and he is absolutely delightful) Order the fried bologna....I promise you this isn't the sandwich you got in your lunch in 2nd grade. Pork belly was DELICIOUS, it melted in your mouth. Cheese board is standard but bug enough for 2-4 to share. Just go, thank me later”

“Beautiful decor and atmosphere. As the DD on NYE I was happy to see the cocktails with * meant they could also be NA. Love that! My mocktails was ok, not great, not bad, just ok. Wish there were more NA options. Wonderful and attentive service. Be aware this place is very very small. The bigger room, has lovely couches around the walls. However you are facing strangers right in front of you, just a bit awkward. Great noise level for conversation.”

“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.”
