Excellent cocktail lounge! The vibe here is great, almost a bit like a speakeasy type feel.
Great selection of cocktails and even some wine and beer for those who aren't into cocktails. Bartenders are friendly and informative.

Really awesome experience! The drinks were tasty, the vibe was relaxed. We loved the decor and the selection. The bartenders were friendly and helpful! Drinks were quite expensive, but definitely delicious! We enjoyed our visit on a calm Sunday evening!

This place has a true cocktail bar vibe. The atmosphere and friendly mixologists working there really add to the excellent taste of the craft cocktails. I wanted to try them all, but cut myself off at 3. If you like bourbon I would suggest the Faun, that was my favorite, but they were all amazing. Three of us were able to get a table right away around 630pm, but I imagine it gets much busier after 8. If you like craft cocktails this should be on your list to visit.

This is a super eclectic and fun spot with very u I que and flavorful cocktails. The bartenders are kind and very talented! We had a couple drinks and we’re impressed with them all.

Great place to sit at the bar! I hear there's a patio too! Always interesting takes on classics and some good original cocktails.

We stopped in for the best lemon drop I've ever had. I'll be going back. Great place to sit and talk with good friends.

Aak my coworkers where they recommend going for mocktails as I'm limited my alcohol consumption and my friend wanted to meet up for drinks. Buffalo traders was recommended a few times and did not disappoint! Really lovely atmosphere for a couple of friends to chat in. Their back patio is awesome. Mocktail did not seem too sweet and focused on more botanical flavors. Lots of variety available. They have some snacks on their menu, but not really any meal options, so not a place I would recommend for dinner and drinks.

Lane, the bartender, was an absolute delight. Such a great personality, and so welcoming! The drinks were really something special and the entire place is just beautiful to look at. Absolutely recommend.

Great cozy space with an excellent choice of unique cocktails, but they can also make “dealer’s choice” cocktail that’s great if you’re open to trying something random. The bartenders know their stuff and I’ve never been disappointed by the stellar service.

Good drinks and a fun atmosphere. I had never been, but I would go back.

We love the wonderful cocktails, Art Deco furniture and decor, and sophisticated but comfortable vibe. I asked the wonderful bartender questions about some of the drinks - he was super knowledgeable and happy to answer, but didn’t make me feel silly for asking questions (approachable) ☺️
The building is a midtown storefront, so be prepared for tighter quarters than you’d find in a large brewery. I personally love it, but understand that some may not prefer the smaller space.

Really great drinks and really great vibe, I just wish they had more snack and food options. But otherwise, great service and drinks and strongly recommend! Good thing is that you can bring in your own food during the weekdays, but I'd honestly rather just order through them if I could.

I visit Grand Rapids often and have always enjoyed every trip. As a beer lover, who would not enjoy a trip to "Beer City". I started following a low carb diet in 2019 and figured I would move to bourbon. On my last trip to Grand Rapids I did a Google Search for cocktail bar and Buffalo Traders Lounge was suggested. I was not disappointed! We had 4 "dealers choice" cocktails before dinner and loved the conversation with the staff and other patrons. Each drink was unique and included details about the bourbons they picked and why. I will be back for sure and 100% recommend this place to anyone who enjoys an excellent cocktail.

We went here for the first time it’s a nice little spot to go for some actual cocktails. None of the pre-made drinks you can and will find at other local bars and restaurants. For my first drink I got the dealers choice- which I would highly, highly recommend. It gives the very knowledgeable bartenders the opportunity to show their creativity and artistry that goes into their craft.
It’s somewhere I’d go for a couple drinks with a friend or two, not the atmosphere of a typical bar to be loud with a big group of people.
I will be back for a drink or two before or after dinner at one of the fantastic restaurants Eastown has to offer.

This crew here hustles and cranks out amazing cocktails. I love this place

Amazing retro '70s style cocktail lounge that just opened a few weeks ago. Amazing handcrafted cocktails and the atmosphere is incredible!
