"Went there for drinks. We were warmly greeted and waited on promptly with no pressure to decide quickly. The atmosphere was comfortable and homey. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Matinee!"

"Solid spot to visit before a show at Shea's. Lively atmosphere, experienced bartenders, great overall experience."

"Went with the Young Black Professionals of WNY Meetup group for happy hour and despite our large group, we all have excellent service from the staff. Enjoyed the overall vibe and aesthetic of this being a bar in the theater district which was cool. I got the Wednesday special which was $20 for the pizza of the week, beer, and a house shot. Overall a really great value and the pizza was really yummy. I also tried two different cocktails to get a sense of their crafting. One was simple and just bourbon with apple cider which you can get hot or cold, and the Matinee mule which the bartender indicated was their most popular cocktail. Both were well made and tasted great. Overall, this was a really great spot and definitely look forward to going again in the future!"
