About Patrick's Rooftop
The Spotlight on Patrick's Rooftop

Rooftop Views & Vibrant Vibes Before the Show

Perched atop the Curtiss Hotel in downtown Buffalo, Patrick’s Rooftop is the city’s highest rooftop bar and lounge, offering panoramic skyline views and a sleek, modern atmosphere. With plush seating, ambient lighting, and a chic indoor-outdoor layout, it’s a stylish escape just minutes from major concert venues and theaters.

The bar features an upscale cocktail menu, light bites, and bottle service in a lively yet polished setting. Whether you're catching a show nearby or just soaking in the city lights, Patrick’s Rooftop delivers a headliner-worthy experience.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location, location, location. Patrick’s Rooftop is within easy walking distance of many of Buffalo’s top music venues, making it the perfect pre-show hangout. The atmosphere strikes a balance between energetic and laid-back, so you can enjoy drinks and conversation without shouting over loud music. Service is quick and friendly—ideal if you're on a tight schedule before a performance. Bonus: the heated rooftop stays open year-round, so it’s a go-to no matter the season.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun, photo-worthy meetup spot
  • Solo travelers wanting a scenic drink before the show
  • Couples enjoying a romantic night out
  • Fans who want an upbeat vibe to kick off the night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a touch of class (check happy hour deals)

What People Say

Guests rave about the breathtaking rooftop views and elegant yet approachable vibe. Many reviewers highlight the craft cocktails and attentive service as standout features. 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.

The Bottom Line

Patrick’s Rooftop is a top-tier choice for concert-goers looking to elevate their night with skyline views, great drinks, and a trendy, pre-show atmosphere right in the heart of downtown Buffalo.
