We had an incredible experience celebrating my sister's bachelorette dinner here! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our group feel welcome and ensure everything ran smoothly. Having a private room made the evening feel so special, and the team was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire planning process. They were attentive to our dietary needs and worked with us to make sure everyone had delicious options and felt included. We also had some trouble connecting to the room's speaker to play our music, and the staff was so patient and determined to help. They took the time to troubleshoot the issue with us until everything was working because they genuinely wanted us to have the best night celebrating my sister. That extra level of care and hospitality meant so much and made the evening even more memorable. The food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special occasion. We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone planning a private event or celebration. Thank you for helping make my sister's bachelorette dinner so special! read more

Disappointed....Delightful server and good food but... We arrived on time for my BIRTHDAY dinner at 6:30. At 7:37, before the check arrived, the host told is that we needed to prepare to leave because their policy is to turn tables within 75 minutes. It was the rudest experience I have had in memory at a restaurant. I couldn't believe it. I won't go back. read more

We ate here for our anniversary in February. Very cozy atmosphere. It was rather dark, if you don't care for that just be aware. The food was good! I wish the marinated olives didn't still have their pit as it was more work to eat them rather than enjoy. But, everything was delicious nonetheless. read more

Hummingbird Lounge - Mushroom risotto with chicken. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

Hummingbird is a cute "lounge" but don't let the name fool ya, they have a full food menu and great entrees. In addition to a bar area and dining room inside, they have a beautiful patio in the warmer months. Service was spectacular: friendly and welcoming. We tried the grilled cheese sticks appetizer and honestly it wasn't as good as it sounded on the menu, but everything else was super delicious. Highly recommend the grilled lemon chicken - the green beans were cooked perfectly and the mashed had some small little lumps in them, just like mom made! Can't wait to try other menu items. read more

What an Amazing and Unique experience tonight. I sincerely can't recommend this location enough for a fun and memorable evening out. A private group of ours reserved the bar space for the hands on cocktail experience. We got to learn about 4 different cocktails and then come up with our own variations after sipping a delicious welcome drink. We ordered apps and entrees. The staff was hilarious and made our entire experience. I felt like they came to work just for us. This is perfect for a birthday dinner, bachelorette, girls trip, honeymoon or anniversary evening out. Book your reservation today! Thank you Hummingbird staff- you became friends and we will be back! Love your VAG getaway girls! read more

Hummingbird Lounge - Not only do they have Pimm's, they make a solid Pimm's Cup! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

What a cute bar/lounge! We came in for some late night drinks, and enjoyed the chill vibes, good drinks and friendly staff. All of the cocktails we tried were fantastic, and I loved their spin on an aperol spritz, the Rosita spritz which was much more floral than the traditional grapefruity aperol spritz. read more

Hummingbird Lounge - Rosita spritz - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

Overall missed expectations. We had been to the Hummingbird Lounge for cocktails and appetizers, and it was terrific. But dinner was disappointing. While the service and ambience could make everyone happy, the food itself was meh. In particular, the olives and Mancheco cheese with honey but nothing spicy to balance the sweet taste, started us out on a negative note. The crab cakes were lacking in crab and the risotto was a little wet. The chicken and short ribs were the high notes. We love the place and want to see it succeed. We'll be back, but with reservations (emotional). read more

The cocktails here are both refreshing and creative, absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great evening. The pork chop was a real standout, and the fish and chips came in generous portions and were full of flavor. Don't skip the fries and Brussels sprouts, they're downright magical. Come for the cocktails, stay for the food... then treat yourself to another cocktail! read more

Hummingbird Lounge - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

My wife and I stopped in here for a nightcap over the summer. This lounge is in an old house and we chose to sat at the bar - it was a beautifully restored. Our cocktails were delicious so we decided to stay for more than one drink. My wife really enjoyed their spritz cocktail. Staff were friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be back when in New Buffalo! read more

I came on a Thursday evening and was surprised this place wasn't busier. I had the pineapple marg and fish + chips. Marg was good and stronger than I thought haha. Had a smoky taste to it but not overpowering. The fish and chips were SO good. Perfect amount of breading. Came out nice and hot. Some of the best fish and chips I've had. Prices are a little higher but comparable to other nice places in the area. I think you get a good amount of food, at least what I ordered. The GM was walking around and chatted with me for a bit and he was really nice. Would def go back! read more

Overall, good food and service. The bread salad missed the mark mostly croutons, tomatoes, and mozzarella; fresh bread would've been better. The lemon chicken was great, could've used a bit more lemon, but still delicious. read more

My husband and I stopped in early on a Sunday just to check the place out. Very nice place on the inside and the staff was very friendly.

My husband and I were on a little getaway in New Buffalo and I made a reservation for the make your own cocktail class at the Hummingbird Lounge. It was so wonderful. The minute we walked in we were treated like VIPs. Ben and Casey were behind the bar and were both so knowledgeable and fun. Ben gave us so many options and recommendations to make our cocktails truly our own. We stayed for dinner and our food was delicious too. I highly recommend for a fun evening out! read more

First time diner. Host was super accommodating and moved us to the indoor bar area for dinner when the only available outdoor tables were in the sun. Things derailed a bit from there. Service 5/10. Food was extremely slow and took over 40 minutes to arrive from the time we ordered. Food 6/10. Friends raved about this place and I'm 50/50. read more

OMG where do I start? I'm simply in love with this restaurant, and every time I am in the area I must visit this place. The fact that this building has been converted into a cute intimate restaurant is beyond me. That alone really attracted me to this establishment. After walking in, I was greeted with a smile, sat at the bar and had amazing cocktails by an actual mixologist and not a bartender. The food was amazing, they have finger foods, but it was all really good and prepared to perfection. I cannot wait to come back to this place I'm simply in love with it! read more

Hummingbird Lounge - Smoked Pineapple Margarita - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

We had a dinner reservation at a different restaurant nearby and wanted to stop somewhere for a drink, and we found this little hidden gem. This place deserves an 82/10 rating. Absolutely phenomenal service from the bartenders. The ambience is extremely cute and quaint, and it's super clean! The drinks were being made to order, and the bartenders were putting all of the special touches on their specialty cocktails. I can't wait to return to try their food! If you're ever in the area and you need to find a cute, relaxing place to absolutely enjoy yourself, please visit the spot. Special things to Matt, Casey and Haley. You made our visit perfect! read more

Ambiance is really nice, it would of been nice if they had heaters outside it was a little chilly and they had nothing available inside. We just came for drinks and overall enjoyed them. Service was good, a little slow to receive drinks and we had to find the waiter at one point for our change. They quickly sat us and got us waters. Outside area is a great spot to chat with friends. read more

We had a great first-time experience here. Enjoyed cocktails and appetizers/platters while seated at the bar which is a lovely, cozy setting offering upscale finishes. The Short Rib Tacos as well as the Grilled Corn Dip turned out to be great choices. On our next visit, we'll likely choose an option from their Meats & Cheeses menu section along with some vino! read more

It's been about 10 years since my family has vacationed in the New Buffalo area so we were looking on Yelp to see if there were any new spots to check out and we found Hummingbird Lounge. We ended up going our first night and we loved it - a super cute spot with both indoor and outdoor seating and a great menu. We loved the Smoky Pineapple Margarita and split several plates - hard to pick just one favorite but some of the standouts were the Seared Tuna, the Brussel Sprouts, the Smoked Carrots, and the Mushroom Risotto. Our server did a great job and the owner stopped by to check in with us too. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

Mason the bartender is worth 5 stars on his own. Charming friend who listens to everyone's requests and offers his best opinions. We couldn't get in here during the summer, but come visit In the winter when they are slower. Had brussels appetizer and cocktails that were lovely read more

A must visit in New Buffalo! I've been coming here the past few years for their impeccable cocktails. Their mixologists are very knowledgeable and can make you anything. These handcrafted cocktails are the best quality in Harbor Country, and incredibly they are also much more reasonably priced than the surrounding tourist spots. This summer we finally tried Hummingbird for dinner and were similarly pleased. The menu is quite small but everything we ordered (tuna appetizer, chicken, pork chop) was just right. Again, very good quality and reasonably priced. Add to that beautiful space and friendly attentive (but not stuffy) service, and Hummingbird hits all the marks. read more

The food was excellent and choices were varied enough to meet the wants of different age groups. Service was also excellent and very friendly. Comfortable setting and accommodating to small or medium groups. read more

Food Way too overpriced and mediocre quality. You have around 25 better restaurants in the area, in terms of options you're better off going to the gas station across the street. I ordered a mocktail drink and the price was almost the same as an appetizer. Service Good service, pleasant servers Ambience Love the presentation of the place indoors, most of out door view is to the Main Street/ parking Overall: If you are looking for a place for a good food experience, you'll not be satisfied with the price/ quality. If you are going for drinks, expect it being pricy but presentable . read more

We were looking for dinner and found this cute little place. Be forewarned, this is not a dinner destination. This quant location specializes in detailed cocktails and offers small plates. The bar selection is unique, I enjoyed the Blueberry Bramble. All the small plates we ordered had a nice flavor balance yet were overly salty - a little hard to ignore. So salty we had to share, that issue can be easily fixed. We started with 4 and the star was the cucumber salad - the chili and ginger dressing had a nice heat, fresh and bright. We enjoyed the beef skewer. Crab dip was surprisingly fishy but the fresh tomatoes and avocado rounds it out. There is a lot of thought and detail that went into this establishment so we'll return knowing it's a pre-dinner, social destination with detailed cocktails. Friendly bartenders were a plus. read more

Portion seemed a bit low for the price. Salmon was cooked perfectly but the pork chop was quite dry and chewy. Decor inside was modern and looked new. They also have patio seating. read more

First thing is that the hours here are wrong, they are: -Main building with full menu 5-11, Weds-Sun -More casual 'On the Fly' garage area with limited menu, 5-sunset every day except Sat and Sunday when it opens at noon Hummingbird Lounge is a wonderful addition to the New Buffalo food/drink scene! We went on a Monday evening when the garage portion was open. We ordered the old fashioned with rum, smoked pineapple marg, blueberry bramble, and Manhattan. All of the drinks were really lovely. Don't miss the smoky pineapple margarita, it was awesome. In addition to their signature cocktails, they had a nice selection of canned beers, seltzers, and wine. We also ordered the corn dip and chips (amazing!) and the fries and garlic aioli (so tasty, great medium thick fries). They accidentally mixed up our food orders with the next table so we also accidentally got an order of the carrot hummus and pita (really yummy and garlicky). I'm glad this happened because it allowed us to try more of the apps and I wasn't mad about a single one!! Very large outdoor area, great indie/alt music choice, and nice staff. It's a great family owned spot with ample parking next to 5/3 bank. The owner, Ben, came out and talked to us and even took our group photo. Everyone working was attentive and kind. I can't wait to come back here to experience the fuller menu and the main building. This is a great place to take people before or after dinner, or get a quiet beer on a weekday evening. Like I said, a great addition to New Buffalo. We will be back! read more

Really cute charming place. The venue is a converted old home and they have a nice outdoor patio if you like. Seared tuna app is excellent! We enjoyed our dishes -- pork chop, mushroom risotto, fish and chips -- all excellent. Service was fine. read more

My husband and I risked taking our toddler out with us for evening cocktails and Hummingbird Lounge delivered! The drinks were delish and the food was too. Highly recommend the smoked pineapple margarita and Hemingway. The outdoor space was especially kid friendly for an early evening meal. Our toddler loved watching the trucks drive by on the main street and he devoured the kids French fries. The staff was great and the owner came out to greet us too. If you're looking for a relaxed vibe and amazing drinks, look no further than Hbird Lounge! read more
