    Perfect Pear, Dirty Pop & Grapefruit Crush
    Jane B.

    Lockhouse Distillery is a unique bar located in the Cobblestone district. It would be a great place to go for cocktails and small bites before a Sabres game. I really love the bar room. It is sort of rustic with a copper bar and strings of lights hanging from the ceiling. I also liked the designs painted on the walls. The cocktails- oh my goodness. Some of the best I've ever had in my life. Their homemade vodka is so smooth. Last night, I ordered the Perfect Pear, which is a vodka cocktail made with local New York grown pears. Although I wanted to try a variety of cocktails, I ordered this one each time because it was so delicious! My friends also loved their Dirty Pop and Grapefruit Crush drinks. Lockhouse has a small menu of appetizers, paninis, flat bread pizzas and a cheese plate. My friends and I sampled several paninis and flatbreads. Everything was very good, but the Brie and Apple panini is in a league of its own. It is a must-try if you are at the distillery. One of the partners, Cory, was kind enough to give us a tour of the distillery. It was really interesting. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. My favorite part of the tour was sampling the jars of spices, fruits and vegetables. I was thrilled to learn that Lockhouse will be partnering with Public Espresso to release a coffee liqueur this December! I can't wait to try it! All around wonderful place with great people. I can't wait to go back!

    We were parked across the street and thought why not try it! Had just come from Helium comedy club and wanted more refreshment! Definitely some very unique drink combos on menu! We each picked something different. I really like their coffees flavored liquor! If I'm in the area will return again for more !

    This place is great!!!! Warehouse style bar, with some great bartenders (especially the Bar Manager, Casey). Willing to make you drinks/concoctions based on your taste. Super chill and laid back bar, but fun enough vibe for a Friday or Saturday night. Must check this place out!! Garage door opened on warm nights!

    Not normally a liquor person, but have heard good things so just had to check it out. I was not disappointed. Although tempted by the array of local beer on tap, I stuck to those beverages made with in house distilled gin & vodka. Things went well. Between my wife and I we were able to order a wide array of their drinks and were overall impressed. My favorite- the "dirty soda," it's seasonal so ever changing- currently "cherry chili lime." The layout is simple, but nice. A small bar area, a distillery, and an arcade game. The location is solid- near the arena- but parking is not. Also, I hate driving on cobblestone streets; they're nostalgic and all, but come on.. The crowd they draw is a good mix as well; not too strong on the hipster front as I had worried it would be. The menu is a simple one- appetizers. So eat elsewhere and chill here for a good local drink.

    I seriously loved this place. Everything about it appealed to me: the lights, decor, graphic design, location, bartenders, drinks and music. If I could design a summer cocktail bar, Lockhouse Distillery would be it. I went as part of a pedal tour, which is by definition very obnoxious, but Lockhouse was incredibly gracious about our group party mentality. They had a special cocktail menu specifically for the tour and despite several of us descending on them at once, they still managed to deliver quality cocktails -- the Moscow Mule I had was probably the best I've tasted all summer. Beside the excellent drinks, there's a nice outdoor area facing the cobblestone and beautiful black and white block lettering murals. A live jazz band rounded out the overall airy and sexy feel of the bar. Perfect place to take a date, grab a cocktail, enjoy the dim lights and savor a great night out.

    The hubs and I decided to check this place out as part of Yelp's Not So Random Acts of Kindness series which benefited Friends of The Night People. 20% of the bar bill was donated to the organization...which made the Happy Hour(s) that much happier! We've run into a few of the Lockhouse dudes at various events, picked their brains, and tasted their offerings; however, we had never actually visited their establishment. What an awesome thing they've got going on!! As their bar door states, "An Idea So Crazy, It Just Might Work!" Most of the Yelp events we have been to have featured local brews...I can't handle beer (it makes me poop funny lol) so I've never really been too interested in the alcoholic offerings at these events ....but when I saw Lockhouse on the lineup I knew I wanted to go. The drinks were fabulous....and I mean FABULOUS! I'm a sucker for a good craft cocktail...and I'm loving all the new places popping up all over B-lo. I tried several varieties from their menu...1955 Rose, Lockhouse Negroni, Perfect Pear, Dirty Pop, and the New Fashion. My favorite was the 1955 Rose due to it's delicious and sweet aroma. We were treated with some snacks from their kitchen and a tour of the distillery, lead by one of the newly appointed partners, Corey--who was later described by the bartender as "indispensable to the company." This was evident given his charisma, backed by detailed knowledge and passion. They turned what was no doubt a dilapidated, old warehouse into one of Buffalo's secret lil gems. Chill atmosphere, good people, creative menu of both food and drink....and probably THEEEE most comfortable bar stools I have ever had the pleasure of imbibing in. We will most definitely be back!

    So glad I was able to make it here. Stopped by after the Sabres game on Valentine's Afternoon. This place looks like it is fun in the summer, with the garage door that opens. But it was still very nice inside. Not overdone, kind of industrial. The bartenders were very friendly and attentive. We ordered the perfect pear which was a vodka drink, and the gatsbee which was a gin drink. Both very delicious!!! The kitchen was closed so we were not able to try any of the food. Once we go back and try the food, I will update my review with an xtra star! We look forward to going back.

    Cool place in the cobblestone district. I went on a Saturday afternoon about 4:30, the place was lively, no room at the bar so we opted for a high round table with cushy stools. While we were there a bachelorette party came in and the remnants of a pedal tour filtered out, it made for a lively atmosphere. My day was to be dedicated to beer but I just had to have one of their handcrafted cocktails. Finally settled on the 1955 Rose after a friendly conversation with another patron who noticed my indecision, my friend had the apple curvee beer both were outstanding! I didn't see a food menu, but that wasn't what I was there for, next time. Cool spot. Can't wait to go back to work myself through the cocktail menu!

    When I ordered this burger I think I overlooked that it was a double which is definitely nothing to…read morecomplain about. It came with fries on the side which were good. The burger had a ton of flavor and was made very well. It only came with meat and cheese tho. I thought it may of came with lettuce and tomato like burgers usually do but that didn't bother me. I added some ketchup and it was perfect for me. So good that I actually ate the entire thing and I NEVER finish my food. I think the flavor was just that good and it was cooked perfectly. For me personally this place is a bit on the pricier side but thankfully my friend paid for me without me even knowing. I was very appreciative for that. But I do think I would go back as long as I had the money. Service was great. We sat at the bar and our food came out in under 10 minutes. The place has a lot of seating as well. There's an upstairs with additional seating if you don't wanna be downstairs.

    We didn't have reservations since we got rush tickets for Shea's, they sat us upstairs, the place…read morewas packed but great service. We started with the app Taste of the Bing. It was 2 stuffed banana peppers, 2 meatballs with red sauce and garlic toast. All good and the peppers did have a little kick that I love. We split a sandwich. Ordered Antonio Bing. It was a chicken cutlet with stuffed hot pepper, melted mozzarella on a garlic roll in the shape of a hogie roll. It came with one side so we chose the macaroni salad, very good and added a Caesar salad. Now for the best part of any meal ...dessert! We chose the peanut butter cookie sundae. It was a real peanut butter buttery cookie on the bottom topped with vanilla ice cream surrounded by whipped cream & drizzled with chocolate sauce so yummy
