It's often described as a “hidden gem” in downtown Buffalo and a “perfect place to start your night.” Locals and visitors alike love the combination of atmosphere and accessibility to nearby events.

Areas for Improvement

Like many popular spots, Patrick’s can fill up fast—especially on weekends or event nights—so seating may be limited without a reservation. Some guests mention that the menu leans more toward drinks than food, so it’s better for light bites than a full meal. Also, prices can be on the higher side, but most agree the views and vibe are worth it.
