MINT Mojito Bar - Mojito - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Finally got over to Mint Mojito Bar which has been on my list for a while! It was super cute inside. Our friends brought their dog so we sat on the back patio which was really nicely shaded. You go up to the bar and order and then they bring your food to your table. All the bartenders were super nice. Our food was soooooo good. The chicken in the chicken empanadas was so flavorful and the chipotle cheese fries were actually insane idk how they got the fries to be so crispy. I will say my mojito was just okay but I think that one is likely on me because I ordered the coconut mojito and didn't look closely enough at the menu and then realized it had miso in it which I think gave it a bit of a salty taste? And that overpowered the coconut for me but it was still decent! We also had the braised pork belly and that was mouthwatering good. We ate it so quickly that I didn't get a chance to snag a pic (oopsies!). read more

Very very good cocktails! A delightful little place to catch up with a friend. You order at the bar and there's no feeling of being rushed out. Friendly bartenders and great vibes. read more

Drinks - tasty. Noise level - ridiculous. The bartender (didn't catch his name) was really friendly and fun to watch as he made my blackberry mojito, but the volume of the conversations caused sensory overload. I learned a little too late that the patio is still open (mid-October!) but I'll know better for next time... read more

Lovely drinks and delicious small bites. This is one of the only bars in Buffalo that make mojitos well. The bartenders are awesome, and fun to chat with. The space itself is beautiful, and I love the outdoor patio for warmer months! read more

Glad I got to check out this place! Had a drink at the bar and the bartender was fantastic, mixed up our drinks and had a nice conversation. Had our second drink outside on the patio which was also nice. Nicely decorated and well laid out. I kind of expected a few more varieties of mojitos. read more

Pork empanada Taste like a Cuban. I like the mustard dip on the side. Looks like mush lol, pretty gross inside, but tastes good. Good crunch. Chunks of ham was a little funny to look at between bites. Chipotle cheese fries 9/10 Really really good seasoning. Chipotle was Not spicy, wish there was more. Good flavors though. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink after visiting another bar in the area and glad I was able to finally get by here. It's not a very large place inside, but it was definitely cozy and I was able to get a spot right at the bar. Each day they had a different daily drink special, and their menu consist primarily of empanadas. I tried the beef ones ($10 for two) which were delicious! Definitely looking forward to going back to try more things off the menu, including their many Mojito options. read more

This place is adorable. The cocktails are amazing, the service is IMPECCABLE, and the empanadas are on point. No notes. This place is perfect. The bartenders were so attentive and constantly refilling my water. Hydration is essential! I had three different cocktails and they were all fabulous - one special, one mojito, and one cocktail from the cocktail list. Everything was great. I brought home an order of mushroom empanadas for the love of my life. They came with two suaces and pickled veggies. Everything was perfect. I can wait to try the chickpea empanadas and the fried cauliflower. I love that the vegan items are clearly marked, there are multiple vegan options, and everything is delicious. read more

Mint is a cool little bar and restaurant on Niagara St. They offer specialty cocktails and a menu to match. It is a little on the costly side, so it's probably not a place I would frequent. My husband and I had one cocktail each, and our total with tip was $25. My mojito was flavored with lavender and lemon, but I didn't like it all that much, and I love lavender. It's a one and done visit for us but a cool spot to check out if you're in the area. read more

Ambiance: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Drinks: 5/5 Bathroom: Clean! Takes card: Yes! Wait: No wait on a Friday after 5 pm Great place for quick drinks and bites with a date or with friends. No parking lot but plenty of side parking. Also across the street from the hard seltzer brewery. Not much on the menu so I assume it's more of a casual hang out spot but I still enjoyed our Fried Cauliflower. Wasn't too fried so it felt like a healthy choice. Really enjoyed it! Had a friend that wasn't into mojitos and was craving an espresso martini. The bartender was kind enough to offer his take on it with what they had and it was delicious. Would definitely visit again. read more

MINT Mojito Bar - Blackberry mojito - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Buffalo, New York

What a swanky place! I was thoroughly impressed the moment I stepped into MINT. The mosaic lime at entrance is wonderful. We were greeted by the bartenders. The drinks are made with time and care. We had a drink at the bar and the bartenders were chatty and friendly. It was a wonderful experience. We then headed to the patio for a couple sips to check the space out and it was inviting. It is a real vibe in MINT and I can't wait to go back and try the food. It looked delicious from afar. Unfortunately, earlier that day we ate brunch and there wasn't any spare room in my stomach for food, just drinks. The drinks were well-crafted, flavorful and quality. They have hooks under the bar. Mentioning these and having the hooks are very important to me. read more

My fiancé and I went here on a Friday night and it wasn't too busy. We sat at the bar and the bar tender was super friendly and asked us about our night. It's a night little spot here! We got the chicken empanadas which were delicious. I got the kiwi mojito which you could taste the cinnamon in it. He got the blackberry which he really enjoyed. I thought there would be more mojito flavors to choose from, but the ones we got we enjoyed! read more

MINT Mojito Bar - Kiwi Mojito - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Cute little place on Niagara street. I came with a couple of friends, one who had been before and recommended it. I tried the Hibiscus and Passionfruit Mojitos and they were both flavorful and refreshing. I was kind of surprised that there weren't more options for Mojitos like Mango or Strawberry etc but maybe the menu changes with the seasons. There was also a cocktail menu and daily cocktail specials. We also got some empanadas and cheese fries to split which were very good. The menu said they enforce a 90 minute table rule but we went on a Thursday and weren't rushed at all to the point where we had to go to the bar to ask for our check. We started out with a server and then she kind of disappeared and two nice gentlemen were manning the tables and bar. They kept our waters full. I would definitely come back. The place is very small but like I said we had no issues coming on a weekday. I wish the menu was a little bigger. read more

We entered around noon, ordered food and drinks at the bar, then went to sat outside. Our server / bartender was so sweet and brought our food out shortly after and came to check on us once as well. We had the shrimp empanadas, beef empanadas, shrimp cakes and fries. Everything was hot and tasted so good! Will definitely be back to enjoy the patio. read more

My orders: diablo, rose sangria, passion fruit mojito, pork empanada, peach hot toddy, Reuben empanada Pros + Parking: is ample and not hard to find. I went to this restaurant on a weekday though. + Ambiance/service: was really nice Cons - Food/drink: I was having a tough time deciding what I wanted to eat. So I asked the bartender. He strongly recommended the pork empanadas which unfortunately turned out disappointing. All the different drinks we ended up getting were not that great either. This isn't my "perfect" bar. I might recommend you head down the street somewhere else. read more

Love it! I stopped in for a quick bite and drink with an old friend. We went on a thursday evening around 7:30. It wasn't empty, but also not too crowded. Good vibe with cool, chill music. Not too loud so could be great for a catch-up session with friends. Great spot. A modern, clean, upscale feeling. Lovely staff. Everything was quick and friendly. I appreciate their simple little menu. I also like how they have a few specialty cocktails too and not just mojitos (even though i love mojitos and that's all i got lol) Empanadas were good! Such a creative idea for bar food. Prices are very reasonable. Overall, no complaints. I'd visit again. I love seeing successful new businesses open in Buffalo :) read more

To me, this is one of my main reasons to come into the city. Every drink I've ever had here has been amazing and the bartenders are so friendly and awesome at what they do. their recommendations are always on point. the food menu is perfectly curated; the empanadas are to die for. I think about the chickpea ones on a regular basis. it's also so well-kept inside; it almost feels like you're time-traveling to a classier and more fun era. the decor is so pretty and I love how they give you a Pantone paint chip as a little parting gift with your receipt. everything they're doing is absolutely right in my book, please never change a thing! read more

I've never met a mojito I didn't like. Mostly because I've only ever had one, and it was at MINT. When MINT opened over the summer, I knew I'd have to get there as soon as possible. While it did take me a little bit, I finally made it out with a friend last night, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed! We met around 7 on a Saturday night and were able to be seated right away. I ordered a grapefruit mojito, and while it was definitely on the strong side, it was really flavorful, and I enjoyed it. We got some food to share as well: the chipotle cheese fries, chicken empanadas, and pork empanadas. The fries were absolutely addicting, and the empanadas were delicious as well. It's hard to pick my favorite of the two, but I'd have to go with the pork -- the sauce they served on the side was incredible. The service was very attentive, and while it was a little loud, it was really lively and the vibe there was great. I would go back in a heartbeat. If you've never met the right mojito (or empanada) for you, I urge you to go to MINT to meet your match. read more

Stopped in for dinner around 6pm. Patio was packed, the weather was beautiful, so that was to be expected. Grabbed a table in the front corner near the windows. Love the ambiance of the place, they decorated it nicely and it's inviting and warm. Bar area is sufficient for a good amount of seating, if you are coming in and don't want to sit at a table. Bathrooms were clean. But lets talk food and drink. The mojitos were excellent!! Had the Pineapple Ginger and the strawberry. Both were very very good. We tried all the empanadas and from favorite to least favorite: 1) Chicken 2) Chickpea 3) Pork 4) Shrimp 5) Beef All of the sauces that accompany the empanadas were fantastic, the perfect accoutrement to each and all were different. The chicken was just an absolute flavor bomb, soooo so good. Each order comes with 2. Service was attentive. Great meal, great drinks, great vibe....in an area that is being revitalized, Mint is another great addition. Highly recommend. Some recommendations: - Shades for the front windows (the sun beating down on you through the glass was rather annoying at times, had to wear sunglasses inside) - Consider doing flights of tequila/mezcal. Wanted to try a few but didn't want full pours. So that stopped me from purchasing. - Signage outside that indicates the entrance is on the side, not in front. We noticed a lot of people doing what we did, walk to the front just to realize the entrance is on the side. read more

MINT Mojito Bar - Pineapple Ginger mojito - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I really enjoy mojitos , so when I heard a bar was opening up that specializes in them, I was overjoyed . I was joined by four other ladies yesterday to try out some of their menu . They placed us at a table near the window (very sunny and lots of flies unfortunately) . That didn't stop us from ordering 1-2 beverages and some small plates . I liked the pineapple ginger mojito more than the strawberry one . Nice size for $11, but could have had a stronger mint flavor. (this is from the mint being muddled or mashed in the drink ) I really enjoyed my Cajun fries with queso blanco on top . It was a unique execution and I was really digging it . Service was attentive and the separate checks for our party were appreciated . Now if they could do something about the fly situation and muddle that mint , this would be a five star establishment in my book ! read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon...killing time after a lost passport literally drove me to Buffalo for an emergency replacement. I was the only person in the place...they opened in the spring. The chicken empanada was excellent...full of flavor with a crisp-but-not-tough crust,..perfectly cooked. Heirloom tomato salad was fresh with a zesty dressing and some crème fresh...super yummy. To put some space between my steering wheel and my mojito I enjoyed a chocolate mousse for desert...slightly salted (nothing pops chocolate like a little salt) and a bit of whipped cream and of course, a sprig of MINT. If you find yourself killing time in Buffalo or you're craving a mojito and an empanada, give MINT a try...you'll walk out smiling and satisfied. read more

Visited for the first time this past Sunday after brunch. We walked in and were immediately greeted and felt very welcomed by the staff. It was a beautiful (but humid) day out, so the hostess offered to seat us either inside or on their patio. We opted for the bar so we can get a good feel of the restaurant. I just say the vibes are completely on point! The owners did a great job on the decor! Our bartender was very attentive and gave us great reccomendafions on what to order. The food menu will seem limited, as there are only empanadas offered. Please don't let that steer you away as the quality of the empanadas are WAY up there! The bartender recommended we order the chickpea ones. I believe they were $10 for 2. Being latina and cooking mainly foods of my culture, I've never had a chickpea empanada before. Then I took my first bite. OK WOW this was by far one of the best empanadas I've ever had here in Buffalo! I will be adding this restaurant to my rotation of favorite restaurants. 10/10 stop reading this, get in your car and start heading over!! read more
