No trip to Canada is complete without poutine. And this cornbread was tastier than I expected. A live musician started crooning while we were there. The whole area's a pretty good time if you don't mind the damn hill. read more

I have mixed feeling about this place. Our server was nice and accommodating. The food was pretty ok. The drinks were just ok. My mother in law wanted a lemon drop martini and they weren't sure how to make one. The cornbread was a bit dry and instead of butter you're given more of a dipping sauce. We also got asked to leave because a large party was coming in. read more

The beers were just okay and the old fashioned was not what I would expect for a distillery staple. The veggie burger was not the best and very dry.. but given all the extravagant places to eat nearby, this seemed to be the best read more

Vegans Beware!! The bite of their ribs & sauce could trigger a radical adjustment to your culinary choices. The rack of ribs were full of meat & the sauce was packed with flavor. A bit more spicy heat would take these ribs off the charts. The beans were flavorful & the mac was delicious. Be sure to also grab a side of cornbread, it's a tasty treat. Service was excellent & each team member encountered was very friendly. read more

Excellent view from front balcony! The best people watching spot on the strip. The signature drink with rhubarb bitters, lemonade and vodka was refreshing. We had the meatball sandwich and a burger. The burger was maple bacon and crisp, they don't spare quality. The food portions are huge, we both were only able to eat half. Consider splitting. Good atmosphere, drinks and food quality. Little pricey, two meals, a beer and a mixed cocktail were $100; but we were pleased with the experience. read more

Visited as a last resort on a Thursday evening because they were open later than other locations nearby. Our party was so disappointed in the food. Brisket was flavorless. Everyone's corn was cold. Like it was cooked ahead of time and sitting out. My sisters ribs were tough and felt like leather. Slaw was ok. Server was slow. We asked for our receipt in usd so we could divide our orders accordingly, he upcharged us and the price did not match the conversion calculation we had. Would definitely recommend reviewing your receipt. They wait around for you to swipe your card I guess hoping youre not reviewing the charges. Don't let them rush you. Will not return when back in the Niagara Falls area read more

Due to its convenient location near our hotel--and the sampler vouchers we received--we chose to have dinner here. Our group ordered ribs, hamburgers, and sampled the whiskey and vodka offerings. Unfortunately, the ribs were underwhelming--mostly bone with little meat, and quite dry in both texture and flavor. Compared to other chain restaurants, I'd say they fell short--even Montana's just up the street serves better ribs. That said, the sides of mac and cheese and cornbread were enjoyable and well-prepared. The hamburger, on the other hand, was solid. It was generously sized with a nice, savory flavor. The fries were a good portion and came out hot, crispy, and thick--definitely a highlight. As for the alcohol sampler, it was a letdown. The voucher featured an enticing image of a proper flight, but what we received were tiny shot glasses with less than a quarter pour each. It felt stingy and misleading--had we known, we likely would have chosen a different spot. read more

Stopped by Niagara Distillery on a Sunday for lunch. I was with a party of four. You can tell by the appearance of the dining room they just had a lunch rush. Took about 7 mins for us to be seated because the host had to clean off the table first. Our server was nice but not that attentive. She really played it safe with making food recommendations and allowed us to figure it out on our own. As a first time guest I didn't really like that. I asked questions about the menu but she remained neutral. So I ended up ordering the half rack ribs , fries and cole slaw. The food was subpar. Doubt I'll return. Please note Niagara Distillery and Billy Bones BBQ is one in the same. I think the focus here is more the alcoholic drinks and the food is just so you won't drink on an empty stomach. I wasn't drinking so the food on a sober palate makes for a not so pleasant dining experience. read more

Our server was super attentive and sweet. We stopped in for a drink and appetizer. We had the pouitine fries with brisket and pulled pork and OMG, they were amazing! We also tried the corn bread and then maple butter was excellent. We wanted to go back to try other items but ran out of time. read more

Was tired walking around Niagara and stopped here for a quick drink . Bar was a bit empty and got a seat . Restaurant was packed though. They also had space in 2nd floor which was similar to the setup below . Being a brewing company i was surprised they just had one IPA on tap. Others were just lagers or red ales .. I asked for a hazy IPA but they didn't have it . They gave the beer devil IPA but I didn't like it much . Service was amazing . I wish I had food there .. have had good reviews on their food though. Overall an average experience.. read more

I got the impression from the time we walked in that this place is understaffed. They didn't have a host so several people were waiting to be noticed. A few families left. Our waitress was well meaning but spread too thin. The food and drinks took a long a long time to come out, even though I spotted my salad sitting there. The food was good. I had the smokehouse Cobb salad with grilled chicken. The chicken came out in long strips, but I had to ask for a knife to cut it. They had live music and the ambience was interesting enough. Poutine with brisket was good. My daughter enjoyed her cheeseburger. read more

Spring Break was more like Winter but we enjoyed taking the beaten path. Visiting Niagara Falls in the off season was very appreciated, calm and quiet. Once we walked over to the Canada side, we decided it was time to eat. Distillery BBQ was such a small and quaint spot to stop in. There was a live band playing and I always love the look of the stills in the background of Distilleries. The place became a little busy and it took our waitress a while to get to our table but she apologized and was very polite and attentive the remainder of our lunch. Oddly, I am not a fan of BBG so I decided to go with the classic burger, which had a hint of BBQ sauce and it was really good. The perfect amount for my palate. So if you're in Niagara Falls, check them out! read more

We came here for dinner on Sunday with our family of 4. (Two kids). Our host had so clean up our table before he sat us but then didn't dry it so it just didn't start well (cleaning smell). Our server was very kind and attentive but that was pretty much the only good thing. The kids menu Mac n cheese was typical. Our drinks were just ok and my wings were okay. My older son and husband ordered the brisket and I've never seen them look so disappointed. They could barely cut through it and chew it. There are plenty of other places to visit if you are eating dinner in Niagara. Maybe their distillery drinks or beers are worth it for a bar night. I wouldn't recommend eating here though. read more

B loves beer and especially craft breweries. We travel around a lot and we would go to different places to try out different beers from different distilleries. Apparently, Niagara Distillery was a huge disappointment. Their beer was very average and on top the service was not great at all. We sat down and it took them a long time to realize that they didn't take our orders. Their prices are also the most expensive for the quality and quantity that you get. Maybe they are charging a premium because they are in Niagara but who knows. I can say that their beer is on the same level as the mass production beer read more

We had a voucher for a spirit sampling. When I think of sampling I think of something that is more then one. We got seated & it took a while before someone acknowledged us. We present them with the coupon and we were told that we get one shot each. It wasn't even a shot. They took a shot glass and pour a quarter of the sample. My husband did order a tall drink as well. I was almost tempted to get the their handcart lemonade but I just wanted to get out of their. read more

Didn't eat here , but ordered a few drinks beer was mediocre at best . Made me sad . Good location and service was decent

I was going to give them one star but my wife convinced me otherwise. We sat at a table for five minutes without anyone coming over. Then I mentioned it to the hostess and she said oh yea it often takes 5-10 minutes. Then about five minutes later the table next to us was seated and within a minute had a server. I was livid! I went back to the hostess and told her and then still waited three more minutes before we finally got a waitress. Once we did though, she was friendly and quick. The food was good. We had the brisket sandwich with poutine. No complaints. My Mai tai wasn't very good, but the "gin tonica" was. The room wasn't very attractive and there was a person playing guitar and singing at the brewery across the patio who was just terrible. So here's my sum up, losing a star for the wait, losing a star for the atmosphere, losing a star for a bad drink. But if you get a server, they aren't playing live music, and you get the brisket but no Mai tai, you can have a good meal. read more

So it was difficult to find this place. They have a nice presentational entrance. So sat at the bar to order a flight, yeah had to ask another patron for a drink menu. They have two flights, but here is the kicker you can't purchase any of the whiskies here or anywhere else. So that was a no. I ordered the other flight GVR flight (so original). I asked what they made the gin out of, they had no clue. Gin was ok, the vodka and rum were atrocious. I also asked what the other spirits mashbill was, again not a clue. I would have given this place no stars given if the gin was atrocious too read more

What a cute distillery right on the downtown strip of Niagra Falls! We sat out on their patio, and it was a little chilly so the waitress turned on the heaters for us. There was plenty of inside seating, and not busy at all on a Friday afternoon. The only downside is there is not parking right outside. You do have to park at one of the paid lots and then walk. Cocktails were delicious! Plenty to choose from. We just shared a few apps for food. Nachos were very good, my only complaint is that the wasn't very melted-would have made it a lot better! I recommend stopping by if you're in the area for sure read more

This is one of those rare times for me where the terrible service massively outweighed the great food. We got a burger and chicken salad, the quality of the food was great. The service almost couldn't have been worse. The place was dead when we got there, started getting busy a little later. Our server literally only ever came by to take the drink order, then take food order, and then at the VERY end after all food was done. She walked by us about 10-15 while we ate(not exaggerating) and didn't look in our direction. Food took a very long time to come out. Probably 25ish minutes, but we had ordered before the place got busy, so our food was rang in well before the crowd's I'm the type that will not wave down my server for a water refill because if I need a refill, it's probably been 10-15 min since they were at the table and they need to come by and ask how the meal is. She never checked on the food, she came by when I had an empty water cup and half a burger left uneaten. Finally when she stopped by and asked how things were, I had to ask for a water. This should have been obvious from the empty cup of water The server really gave absolutely no effort whatsoever. My guest and I kept watching her as she walked all around us, never looking at us once, it truly felt like we didn't exist, it was surreal. So maybe order the food togo? To avoid the poor service but still get a good meal read more

Even if your expectations are low because you're dining on Clifton hill, Niagara distillery will find a way to disappoint. There's a huge surcharge for the convenience of eating close to the falls, which would be acceptable if the food wasn't hot garbage. The serving of nachos is huge but tastes terrible. Low quality chips, toppings and they even use some sort of melted cheese whiz which is dreadful. The service was also impressively bad. Took forever to place an order and we asked for the heat lamps to be turned on 3 or 4 times and they never turned it on. read more

Our dinner took a long time and it turned to be disappointing. Both my husband and I felt that our dinners didn't have much flavor. This restaurant seems to be more specialized in drinks than food.

I recently had the misfortune of dining at Niagara Distillery and I can honestly say it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a lackluster atmosphere that immediately set the tone for the evening. The staff seemed disinterested and almost annoyed that they had to serve us. Now, let's talk about the food. Or should I say, the lack thereof? The menu boasted a variety of options, but it was clear that the kitchen had no idea what they were doing. The appetizers arrived cold and tasted like they had been sitting out for hours. The main courses were no better - overcooked, bland, and lacking any semblance of creativity. It's as if they threw together random ingredients and hoped for the best. As for the service, it was an absolute disaster. Our server was nowhere to be found most of the time, and when we did manage to flag them down, they seemed annoyed by our presence. Our drinks were empty for the majority of the meal, and it took an eternity for our orders to be taken. To top it off, when we finally received the bill, we were charged for items we never even received. Overall, I would strongly advise anyone considering dining at Niagara Distillery to think twice. The combination of terrible food and abysmal service makes for an unforgettable nightmare. Save your money and your taste buds and find somewhere else too. Pretty trash place ong jit read more

Our hotel gave us coupons for free samples and I had bookmarked this distillery to stop at anyway, literally around the block from our hotel. We went on our first night in town and while we were sat right away- we waited. And waited, and waited over 20 minutes before someone came to take our drink order. 2 Servers had said they wold be right with us during that wait- but "right with" wasn't right away at all. The food came out fast- saving grace & was good. They offer flights for a fee- and silly me thought our hotel coupon was for a flight- it wasn't, it was for a sample of one spirit. I went with rum, John tried the whiskey and neither wowed us. We have become quite the distillery hoppers over the years and sample with the thought of adding to our bar at home- so unfortunately we didn't feel compelled to buy a bottle here. We did have more coupons to potentially return, but I really didn't want to wait for service just to try one spirit. Shame- the food really was good... read more

This is not a food review. This is to try the advertised Mint Chocolate (with alcohol) $10 and the Mint chocolate $5. Stop 2 of the "Hot" Chocolate Trail. Was very disappointing, the drinks didn't look anything like what was advertised. Nor did taste of any mint of candy cane pieces at all. Was expected to pay the full price and not even offered a discount. Not worth the money at all. Do not recommend. read more

Sheesh, a lot of harsh criticisms from other Yelpers! Okay so I don't have horror stories like other people have, it was actually a very good experience. We (my wife and I) visited at the end of August, and it was a very positive experience. Service was fairly quick, the staff were polite. The night we arrived there was no wait. Our waiter was even kind enough to take a few photos of us. The drinks, were fantastic. Delicious and flavorful, and not overly sweet. For dinner, I think my wife got a cheeseburger, she enjoyed it as it was quite juicy and flavorful. I opted for the pit master poutine. I didn't have a large appetite, it's a listed 'shareables' so I had it as a meal. Poutine with bbq brisket. I'm going back to Massachusetts, no one makes poutine so I get as much as I can! It was hit and delicious, there was so much I don't think I was able to finish it. The restaurant was clean, and the bathrooms were clean as well. I think this establishment may have gotten a rough start since it is a fairly new restaurant. I had a positive experience and I would recommend to anyone to check out. read more

This place is conveniently located on Clifton Hill and offers outdoor seating at the ground and second levels. Great people watching! They offer BBQ Ribs, chicken, salads, burgers and appetizers. They advertise themselves as a BBQ place but their BBQ options were limited to half and full rack ribs. If you are looking for more BBQ options, I would not recommend this place. However, if you want BBQ ribs they were very tasty. I would give the food a 3.5 but the service a 1 star. The waitress did not seem to know what she was doing. Took our drink order and disappeared for 15 minutes. We had to locate the manager They also brew their own Beer and offer a number of tropical drinks. The food was good but the service was awful and it was a little pricey. I read more

We got seated at the bar immediately. Sat there and no one but the sweet guy seating people talked to us. He finally got someone over to take our order, we were only there for a drink. May I just say, this was the best drink I have had since entering Canada. They have there own Vodka, Gin, and Bourbon. Drinks are definitely worth stopping in for. read more

This place was pretty cool. Was just visiting for the day, but definitely wanted to get a t shirt to commemorate some good alcohol. Normally I go for breweries but my mom preferred the food menu for the distillery, and I was not disappointed. I got the whiskey sampler and got to try the Canadian Rye that they make there, a single cask, and a moonshine. For the record, I love whiskey. I lean towards Irish whiskeys as a general rule, but I love tasting varieties. I had never had Canadian whiskey, I found it to be very distinct. Which was really nice. The flavor isn't normally what I go for though. It was very smooth and almost sweet. Not bad at all. My favorite was the single cask though. Great flavor, more my style. And then man, that moonstone. That'll put some hair on your chest no complaints here. Beyond the great spirits, my mother and I shared the cornbread (MAPLE BOURBON BUTTER. I'd drink it alone if I could...) also shar ed the nachos with brisket. The meat was very tender. It was also MASSIVE. The 2 of us barely put a dent in it. We needed 2 more ppl to even attempt to come close to finishing... a side note, maybe this is bc Im Mexican, but I'm NOT use to BBQ nachos. So I kept getting thrown when I tasted bbq sauce. Different. Not bad. I was just not use to it... Anyway, sorry for the lack of food pictures. My main concern was alcohol. I did leave with a few souvenirs. A shirt and a drinking glass. Overall a nice experience. Only thing that would make it better is if they bottled the spirits for sale to take home. That would have been a better souvenir... read more

This place is the worst. Terrible service. After 20 minutes we had to ask for a server. Server finally comes up and asks if we are all set. What? We have not even ordered. After we order, 25 minutes later no drink no food. We had to ask for the manager. He discounted the meal 20 percent but we never got the food. Waitress brought the bill and was all mad that I wouldn't pay if I had no food. We just paid for our drinks and left. Terrible place. read more
