I was there on 6/19/26 and got the best drink I had never heard of before. I love Old Fashioneds, but I like smooth. I had heard of swapping the simple syrup for amaretto and the bartender there suggested a 'Godfather' and this was the best mixed drink I've ever had. We were the B&W couple, where she's sooooo out of my league and the bartender was the most awesome lady about 40, and I don't remember her name. But the next trip to Florida, I'm coming back to learn the recipe because I have not been able to replicate it! read more

OMIGOSH. A perfect date night spot! Dimly lit and intimate, this place is a great spot to kick off a date night! Lauren, the bartender, suggested that I try her newly crafted basil gin gimlet (I am probably butchering the name) and it was delicious! AND...they have several variations of spritz's which is my "second" runner up after gin. Unfortunately, the kitchen was closed, so we left after only having one drink since I was starving! Regardless, I'll be back. read more

Boar and Buffalo definitely is a local spot. Very unassuming from the outside, but it is huge. There are 4 large rooms with different things going on. Grown and sway lounge in the back, faming area (pool, dart jumbo jenga), dance area with a VIP, bar top area. Definitely a late evening/night spot to have fun. I felt comfortable exploring, but definitely preferred the back lounge. More intimate. Bartenders were nice and informative. She kept checking on us when we moved areas. Apparently it was happy hour til 7p and drinks are buy one, get the same for $1. Food was good. Price was great. Overall, I enjoyed the place and would go back. read more

Three days ago I had my first memory at Boar and Buffalo, and I knew I would be back. Today was my opportunity. The service is amazing, 10 stars. Aleeyah and Cici are excellent at their craft and the vibe is so welcoming. We arrived at the 11th inning of The Mets, (they won)! Cici turned to ask if there was something in particular we wanted on the TV. These ladies are attentive, friendly and can mix a great cocktail. Our experience was once again top notch. Thank you! read more

Had their boneless wings tonight. Succulent pieces of white meat in a very tasty crispy light breading. Juicy and not a speck of ick! (You know what I'm talking about!) good portion, had to take half home. For dessert .... It's espresso martini special night!!! Had a biscotti martini. YUM!!! read more

We stopped by here after dinner to check it put. It's super small...behind another bar. It's very dimly lit w/ a lounge vibe. We each had a drink. I had an Espresso Old Fashioned ...which was great. Two of my favorite drinks combined! My husband had a Stawberry Fields. He thought it was a bit sweet, but still drank it. This would be a great date night spot. We will definitely check it out again when we are in the neighborhood. read more

This small little bar was suggested to us as a speakeasy that has no signage on the door (behind/ connected to Bar 23fifty). It was completely dark outside, and as we opened the door, we were hit by the loud rock music blasting out of the small space. The bar was nicely decorated, be it a little sparce. I'm not sure why the music was on so loud; there were only about 12 patrons seated around inside the spot. I had a chopped salad (not chopped) and was not asked what dressing I wanted - vinagrette on the side. Instead, I got ranch (too much) drizzled over the top. We also had the Buffalo cauliflower. The flavor was full and bright, with the heat one would expect. However, the sauce had been soaked up into the fried breading, causing each piece to become limp and soggy. The bartendar (Unfortunately, did not catch his name) was attentive to all and was actually a magician. Our drinks were simple perfection. The presentation was beautiful, and the aromas & flavors were everything promised. Inexplicably, after an hour of rock blaring, it switched to dancy-pop. Too loud and too frenetic. There were only 4 of us here at this point. So why 3 stars? The whole experience was disjointed. The music, the decor, the food, the drinks, the bars ambiance. So, there you have it. I'm not sure I would advise against going. I'm not sure I would advise you to. read more

I went to the Bore and Buffalo Craft Bar with a buddy of mine. The Chardonnay was very good. But I must say, the bartender Natalie was fantastic. I had never met her before. She was very chatty and congenial. Made me feel like a friend. She really was like a breath of fresh air and made my experience there fun and memorable. I hope she is working next time I go there! Definite 5 stars! Scott M read more

Given the location I was skeptical, but we went with another couple and we were all pleasantly surprised! The bartender was great! She was super helpful in creating mocktail suggestions for my husband who doesn't drink. I had a strawberry fields and my friend had an old fashion. Prices are as expected. We did not eat. Such a cool vibe, low lights, cozy seating, good music and filled with Gen xers. Not a large place but it's not cramped either. We've already been back a second time with another group! read more

Food wasn't amazing but the vibes were incredible and drinks were really good. Specials are good too. We'll be coming here more often.

Gave this place a try. Very comfortable bar. Decor felt a little old time prohibition era meets comfy Meet up! Drinks were perfectly on point...thank you Jane and Shahana! Service was impeccable read more

Very comfortable, dark and a bit divey. Food was good, but a bit uneven. Meals came out a different times, one order of fries was lukewarm, the other blazing hot. Think bar food served on paper on plastic trays. Drinks were great and a good value. Service started off a bit standoffish but warmed up as the place got busier. read more

If you're going to have a craft bar, you need a decent cleaning company. The one word I'd use to describe the experience is "sticky". The floors, the chairs, the tables, the menus... washed my hands 4 times and couldn't wait to get in the shower when I got home. Honestly, the floors in Krispy Cream Donuts are cleaner. On a positive note, drinks were good and service was excellent. read more

Fun evening! Nathan was our cool bartender & he makes fantastic craft cocktails. Definitely a laid back speakeasy ambience and that pretzel rocks. The buffalo cauliflower and house made mozzarella sticks sounded good for next visit. Overall great for an evening out if you're in the area. read more

Located behind Danny's Pub, the Boar and Buffalo is an upscale place to grab your favorite whisky or other high end cocktail. Inside, its dark wood interior, barrel high tables and candle light sconces add an air of mystery to this not quite speak easy. If you're looking for a good Espresso Martini, you can get one here. They're just amazing. read more

Boar and Buffalo Craft Bar - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Palm Harbor, Florida

Great drinks and normally a decent vibe. However, I've been told by the bartender that they can only play EDM music from now on...weird. This has to change. I am not paying $15 a drink to sit and be bombarded by loud obnoxious music while trying to relax. read more

A hidden gem with a speakeasy vibe. Very hipster. The bartenders (Jenna and Riley) are awesome and they definitely know their craft...craft cocktails!! Love the ambience! It's a very nice escape from the sweltering summer heat! read more

Some of the best drinks I've had by far! They have great drink specials during the week, cozy seating area and an entire wall of different liquors. read more

This spot is located in the far bacK corner of Danny's (right off of Curlew) - it's a much needed, and welcomed, concept in Palm Harbor! Pros: Fantastic and personalized service! Delicious and consistent drinks, especially the Peanut Butter Old Fashioned made with Screwball Whiskey! Appropriate background music (because there's nothing worse than listening to music that's too loud or too out there when you're visiting a speakeasy). Convenient location!! Stellar happy hour and daily specials ($6 Old Fashioned!) The food looks yummy also (didn't personally order so can't really comment though). Cons: Just wish the lights weren't so bright inside (would play in more to the speakeasy concept). Overall I'm going to still give it 5/5 because I had a really enjoyed it overall and had a fantastic night - I'll be back for sure! read more

The management has changed, and it's not what it used to be. The drinks are average, and the music no longer matches the ambiance. I guess I need to be drunk before walking in now. The crowd has become more exclusive, but the staff remains respectable. read more

This is a little speakeasy inspired place behind the main sports bar called Danny's. It will be a little hard to find at first since there only seems to be a sign for Danny's out front. They're both owned by the same owner but one allows smoking inside and one does not. There's a stark difference in atmosphere and price point between the two places so your point of entry will affect your first impressions. Danny's allows smoking inside the bar so if you're not a fan avoid entering through the front and first side door to get to the Boar and Buffalo. Go to the very end of the building and there should be a separate entrance right at the end to get into the speakeasy. When we went they didn't have a sign up so we entered through Danny's instead. Once inside the atmosphere is very elegant with swing music, barrel tables and chairs and a vast selection of bourbon. I got the Botanical gin cocktail and that was nice. I tried the sweet tea cocktail after that but it wasn't for me. Followed up with a gose. The hubs and company had some scotch and whiskey. The selection is very good so snobs will have a field day. Just note to ask how much a glass is beforehand as there's a huge markup. The hubs got charged $38 for a neat glass of Kilchoman Sanaig which retails for $63 a bottle at Luekens. Ask before hand so you're not blind sided. We got the steak and mushroom fries which were freaking delicious for bar food. Try this one out. They also have plenty of other selections including charcuterie. read more

We have recommended this place to several friends. Most had a great experience. A few weeks ago, friends went to "Taco Tuesday"... no one acknowledged them. They were told to go to front, no one there gave them service, and they ended up leaving. Such a disappointment. Won't be recommending again, sadly. read more

Great hidden gem hidden behind a sub par bar. They have a great selection of bottles to choose from and a great bartender. Great place to hang out with friends. Just don't try that drink from Brazil that smells like green beans read more

Stumbled upon here by accident but glad I did. The unique craft cocktails are very delicious. I've even asked for a few surprise drinks to see what the bartender can come up with and have never been disappointed. read more

Boar and Buffalo Craft Bar - Lavender lemonade - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Palm Harbor, Florida

The drinks are good and service is decent as long as it's not too busy. I LOVED this place when it first opened and had the speakeasy vibe, playing "post modern jukebox" music, etc. But, now they play the same pop music as the sports bar in front that they're connected to. It totally ruins the atmosphere. read more

Geez! Great out of the way hidden speakeasy craft cocktail lounge. At 1st look from the outside, a derelict outpost on the fringes with a non-descript entrance, located in the far corner behind an Irish sports bar. Once inside though, it's a very inviting mix of lighted rows of upscale alcohol, exposed brick, dark wood, barrel tables and good people. Very worth the effort to find them! Whiskey sour anyone? read more

This is an unexpected gem, hidden away behind another bar. Hopefully many people will not find it because I don't want it to get too crowded. Riley, our server was phenomenal. She made the best drinks and how she could remember our orders without writing it down was beyond me. We all shared snacks, and they were a pleasant surprise about how good they were. Also surprisingly after many drinks and many appetizers, the bill was quite reasonable. read more

Boar and Buffalo Craft Bar - Bubba's Sweat Tea - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Palm Harbor, Florida

The manager is awesome and very customer focused. We have been going here since 1998 and have always had a great experience. Chris at the front bar always welcomes us, provides excellent service, and always remembers our drinks. We highly recommend the front part of this bar. The back bartender needs to step up her attitude, prepare drinks properly, and refrain from using insults, profanity and threats when she messes up. read more

Wife and I stopped in last Friday night. Vibe was really cool, drinks were tasty and the food was yummy. We each had a couple of cocktails and 3 items from the menu. Service was spot on and we got out of there for under $75. We'll be back. PS - They also returned my credit card I left behind on the table the next day. read more

Drinks are delish and Kelly provides you with lots of alternatives. The Hellfire smoked old fashion superb. Widest selection Ive ever seen of Don Q Rums, true Puerto Rico rum. Be back soon! read more

Boar and Buffalo Craft Bar - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Palm Harbor, Florida

Stopped in Saturday night and sat in the snug seats they have built. Nice addition. Super comfy. Wait staff was friendly and mixed a good drink. All draught beer is up front which is ok but a pain. You can't pay for those beer here you must pay up front. I am guessing because it is technically 2 separate businesses. I would suggest having the staff place the order and bring it to you. Get the credit card machines that can be carried by the staff so the customer can pay from their seat. The bathroom had one issue where the toilet paper dispenser had fallen off the wall and was laying on the floor. Everything else was perfect. Most people were wearing masks. We do love the craft cocktails they make here. As long as it stays non smoking and clean we will continue to patron them. read more

Pulled up on a Friday at 8pm. Place almost looked empty with just a few cars around. Was very happy to find it was open when we opened the door. 3 people at bar and one other gentleman at end. Bar tender clearly saw us come in. Another couple came in after us and sat at the barrel tables. Literally sat in the chairs for 15 minutes while the bartender made 3 drinks for the 3 at the bar. The couple at the barrel table finally went up to bar to order. Not kidding you, took bartender another 10 minutes to make 2 drinks while talking the whole time. Another 2 people came in in meantime and never got waited on. We've been here before and know they serve you at the tables. We ended up leaving after sitting watching the cluster show go on for 30 minutes. Who staffs a bar on a Friday night at 8pm with 1 bartender. Clearly they don't want the business. No wonder no one was in the parking lot. Could be a very cool place, but service was a complete disaster. Won't go back. read more

Very cool place! Went last night as a date night, not knowing what to expect and we had an awesome time. They have your typical bar menu, but it actually tastes good The bartender was friendly and he made awesome cocktails. One of their signature cocktails is a memorable Hellfire smoked old fashioned and it was delicious with a little heat. The vibe itself is a speakeasy type place and you don't have to yell over loud music because the only music I heard was coming from Danny's across the way. There's no sign out front so it's literally a hidden gem, but I doubt it will stay hidden for long. It's not a place for a rowdy crowd, but I would totally recommend it for a laid back evening with friends. read more

Beautiful bar inside, Cool looking place, But no one ever shows up. JUST. GOTTA ADVERTISE MOOOOOOORE and they will come read more

Saw this place on Yelp and wasn't sure about how it could be behind good ole Danny's! You walk in the back door and it's like a surprise. Super cute but kinda small whiskey bar, speakeasy feel and absolutely great drinks with an awesome bartender! It's definitely a hidden gem like other reviews say. Great spot for a date night or double date. Like I said it's small but it does attach to Danny's so after a classy couple of drinks you can always walk into Danny's and play pool with more people or have friends meet up. read more
