I absolutely love this place. It's such an amazing little spot right in Niagara Falls. It's got a nice little vibe to it. You can go in dressed up or dressed down and you're welcomed with open arms. It can get loud especially on a busy night but it has a beautiful ebb and flow that never gets too crazy. I'm old. I like it that way. The drinks are always top tier. I haven't had anything I didn't like. My husband loves their aged cheeses. We always have a little bite to help us slow down with those drinks because they go down way too easy. Give me a spritz of any kind and I'm a happy girl. I really appreciate having such a nice spot close to home. It's definitely a nice bar and I hope to keep it on my permanent hang out list. read more

Best. place. In. Niagara. Seriously love their drinks and love what they offer to the area. Their food options are all gourmet and amazing and their cannolis are addicting. read more

Judas Tree - Paloma - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

Was previously here and had an absolutely incredible experience; something I shared with many other foodies in my life, and I have been wanting to get back here to bring my spouse so she could enjoy it as I had. Unfortunately the experience this time was not enjoyable, and really left us disappointed. Now quick note, the food was still excellent and the drink selection was vast- that was much the same as previous and I will commend them for their dedication to keeping up such a high standard for those. On the not so good side this time, the atmosphere- there was a birthday booked and set up about halfway in the dining area. So when we first came in we could either sit next to the cold door, or have to push and plead our way through this crowd to get a seat at the bar which was nearly empty last the party- it seems we were one of the few brave enough to try and fight through them. While I am all for having events at neighborhood restaurants, I think ownership needs to read the room and make sure the event matches the vibe. This is a quote, very intimate small plate restaurant and having 25 plus people screaming and getting intoxicated really was off putting and ruined our date night. Secondly, the staff seemed to be having some large conflict and it also tarnished the experience. There was one main bar tender girl, a bus boy / helper who didn't seem to have much to do, and a lead kitchen girl that seemed to be out front a lot. When we sat down it was mostly us and the party which at this point was only 10ish people. By the time we left there was about 35 people and service had slowed way down. The bar tender was busting out drinks, but you can only make so many multi ingredient signature cocktails at a time. At one point the gentleman next to us asked for a simple bottled beer, which the bus boy stepped up to try and get him, and he was scolded loudly in front of the guests that he was not to get any drinks, and and the gentleman would need to wait for the bar tender who took another 10-15 minutes to assist him because she had so many drinks to make for the party. The final straw was the drunk couple next to us; they intermittently joined the party, and were very visibly intoxicated- multiple times the guy kept interjecting into our meal to loudly exclaim or remark about the charcuterie board we had ordered. Again, I don't mind a friendly question but having Mr. Drunk loudly yelling from the seat next to us was again off putting, and did not match the vibe of the venue. All in all, remove the party and this night would have been just as special as the first time I was here. Add the party, and a quite venue was turned into a rager that stopped us from ordering more drinks and food, and seeking another place to continue our evening. read more

Judas Tree has to be one the most special little spots in all of Niagara Falls. From the exterior to the beautifully curated interior, this little slice of peacefulness is the perfect ending to any given day. The small plate menu serves as the perfect accompaniment to a chilled cocktail or tall beer. The music was spot on and the decor is unmatched. The staff was welcoming, genuine & gracious. I was happy to chat with both the bartender & the owner, at length. They never made me feel rushed or that I was "pulling them away from something". This is customer service at its best. Do yourself a favor & visit Judas Tree next time you're in Niagara Falls. Some of my favorite dishes include: Brie Focaccia Figgy Focaccia read more

We stopped at this absolutely adorable cocktail and snack lounge on our way to dinner, and I wished we could've just stayed there to eat! The cocktails we had were fabulous, and the menu was full of delicious snacky and some heartier foods. You can tell that everything from the wallpaper to the furniture and custom classical looking wood cabinetry was carefully designed. I will be back to eat and have more cocktails. read more

Incredible atmosphere, music and ambiance is great. The food is all carefully appointed and the owners (who are brother & sister) are right there for you to explain exactly where each ingredient was carefully resourced from. First time visitors, I would recommend the Cheese and Meat plate with a side of olives and the Beet salad. This is genuinely a place where you'd want to spend your time before and/or after you go out for dinner. You'll meet incredible and very important people who love to talk and it will definitely be a night to remember. It reminds me of many upper-class bars in Toronto and Chicago, except the drinks are much MUCH better here. Free Parking is abundant on Pine Ave, and there is a large free parking lot behind the 7/11 across the street and it is all very very safe. Judas Tree is a great addition to Niagara Falls in its revitalization as one of the greatest cities in America, and I wish it a long and successful life. read more

Unassuming restaurant for great drinks and small plates. The inside has great ambiance and works the vintage-ness of the building into the decor. We chose to sit on the covered patio (in March) I couldn't pass up the antique couches and tables and the heater made the temperature just right. We chose a split board and the cicchetti pick 6. My favorites were the apricot and (surprisingly) the ham and cheese. While I love a good meat and cheese board the cicchetti stole the show. Highly recommended. If we hadn't crossed the border the next night we probably would have ended up there again for dinner. read more

Judas Tree is brand-new and excellent. I found this gem of a place in Niagara Falls via Yelp... what pulled me in was the cocktail menu. There are few good options and this place is bikeable and walkable from the downtown Falls area. I'm somewhat of a cocktail and food snob because Philadelphia is such a foodie city... but Judas Tree made drinks on par with some of my fav places from home and served them in beautiful little glasses with such care. I loved the Monte Carlo in particular, but all their signature drinks look great. I didn't order food because I had dinner earlier but the dishes coming out looked quite tasty. The decor is fun and artsy and there's an outdoor patio that's about to open up. The owners, Becca and Josh, are a hard-working brother and sister team that are super friendly and welcoming. It is a place that I would absolutely return to and I hope it thrives! read more

Really neat place to relax and wind down. Enjoy a wine spritzer, wine or any drink from their extensive bar. Their little bites to eat were delicious. I was traveling by myself and found the place to be friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed my wine with a bite to eat watching a bocce game. read more

Fantastic restaurant in the middle of Niagara Falls. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. Our drinks were prepared perfectly and our menu selections were excellent. Can't wait to bring other people here!! read more

Tapas Bar The locally sourced ingredients are amazing, great drinks, great flavors, great service. The meat plate's selection was amazing with great mustard and pickles. The cheese tray even better with a lovely jam and some dried apricots. The pepper crusted local cheese from Jones Farm in the Finger Lakes is so good! There was a beautiful beet salad with house made ricotta and pickled onions that I wanted to keep all to myself. Next time I'm going to get my own! The drinks were a delicious counterpoint to the plates. A great place to sip and nosh or as we did, devour! It was a bit warm but it was the first warm day of the year so... Overall will definitely come back anytime we can! read more

Wonderful place ! Very tastefully done. Great Jazz music. Best and pretty much only place in Niagara Falls NY now. Reasonable prices. We will make it one of our regular stops now. Great job guys ! read more

I travel frequently and this place could hold its own in any major city in the US and Europe. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the business is beautifully designed with clever repurposing of antique furniture and architectural remnants from the original structure. I don't drink alcohol but the two people that I was with loved their drinks. The food consists of small plates but they are ample portions, all hand made and locally sourced. Anyone would be very satisfied. We had the Burrata Cheese plate with pesto, chilled beet salad, the Figgy and dessert truffles. Everything was incredibly delicious with well balanced combinations of fresh ingredients and subtle, unique seasoning. I would describe the clientele as sophisticated with a down home friendliness. read more

Fantastic find! Perfect ambiance, excellent at what they do. Small, quality plates to accompany you drink. (Unfortunately) a diamond in the rough. This is the spirit, well done! read more

I don't write reviews often but this place is worth it. It was my husband's birthday and we found it on a whim, using Yelp to see what was open in Niagara after 10:30pm. Absolutely everything, from the impeccable selection of wine to the pepper used on the olives, was perfect. From what we understand, Judas Tree is off the beaten path but if you're visiting or just looking for a truly special meal, we couldn't recommend this place more. read more

What a sweet spot with great brunch options and fun drinks selection. I'm excited to try their new coffee options. Will definitely be going back!! read more

Stopped by on a whim. Great atmosphere. Becca and her crew were awesome. The outdoor area has a LOT going on. Possibly the best in the city.

Love this place! Great small plates and my favorite margarita ever! Can't wait to see the summer outdoor expansion.

Really great small plate bar! What it is...nice cocktail bar with a nice selection of craft beers, good small plate selection for sharing with good friends, romantic date night spot, well appointed interior What it is not...loud bar with any TVs playing sports, where to go if you are really hungry and want a lot of big food, a place to bring your kids For my wife and I this was a perfect place to have our last dinner after a 2 week road trip through New England at the end of a summer day touring around Niagara Falls. We'd patronize this restaurant once per month if it was closer to our home in MI! read more
