Editor’s picks

Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Buffalo Spree, Step Out Buffalo, and The Buffalo News. Updated August 2026.

Waxlight Bar a Vin · Black Rock
A wine-focused Black Rock room whose name is French for wine bar, and a two-year 2026 readers-poll cocktail co-winner.
The Winesmith · Allentown
Took over the Main Street room that Just Vino occupied.
Concord (a wine bar) · Elmwood Village
An Elmwood Village wine bar the Buffalo News's Francesca Bond described as not a bar and not yet a restaurant, but the wine bar the neighborhood needed. Order a glass and a few small plates.
