Nightlife
Whether you want to dine, dance or just ‘hang out’, you can do it easily in the Buffalo/Niagara Region when night falls. Take a stroll around the Chippewa Street Entertainment District, part of Buffalo’s downtown Theater District between Main Street and Delaware Avenue. Elmwood Avenue is Buffalo’s answer to Greenwich Village and SoHo. A favorite gathering place for entrepreneurs as well as college students, this one-mile strip contains unique taverns, restaurants, cafés and bistros which create the one-of-a-kind Elmwood Village atmosphere. Hertel Avenue in North Buffalo also offers a number of eating and entertainment choices with plenty of local flavor and upscale, yet casual charm. The suburbs of Amherst and Williamsville feature restaurant lounges with all varieties of live music. Martini bars offer their own blend of this classic cocktail, while the house DJs get the party going. When visiting Niagara Falls, don’t leave at dusk! Enjoy the many entertainment options at the Seneca Niagara Casino or Third Street, an area becoming known for its lively entertainment and nightlife.
