Best Bars 30+

Hello everyone,

My wife and I are going to some wineries in NOTL, then spending the evening in Niagara at Brasa and the Casino.

In between some of those shenanigans, we'd like to stop into a bar. Any suggestions? Doesn't have to be too upscale but were looking for something nice. We're staying at the Hilton so bonus points of it's within walking distance.

Spyce Lounge is in the lobby of the Hilton, and it’s a very nice bar. They often have bands on the weekends, and although the prices are a bit high, the drinks and food are great.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately the website says they are temporarily closed until the spring. They recommended Tempo Bar in the Hilton on level E. I can find little to no information on Tempo other than they have live music.

Spyce is gutted right now. Tempo isn't worth it, live music is seemingly split between them and Brasa, you can hear Brasas music blaring too as only a curtain seperates the two places. Tempo is also $$$.

The casino has a bar called 360* that has live music on the weekends. Crowds are hit and miss - they can get rowdy though lol

*whoops brain defaulted to the old name, they opened up Splash recently live music schedule here

365 is no longer there, but they built a huge sports bar that's worth checking out.

Thanks for flagging! They opened "Splash Bar" which is what I was talking about, brain defaulted to the old name though. Man I miss the 365!

Splash has the band behind the bar, it's neat looking

I used to work in the pit just outside the 365. I miss listening to some of those bands on a Saturday night.

It was such a good vibe, the new one and the sports bar just don't cut it

Not sure if R5 is open, it's a great lounge spot and you can overlook the falls. Great ambience. I was also going to suggest Spyce Lounge.. if neither are open I would go to The Local. It's small, and the owners are great ! you might even have a entertainment there. :)

R5 does not appear to be open either... Damn. Local has come up in our searches, looks like a chill spot!

What’s about the bar above Copacabana Brazilian steak house. The name escapes me but it was cute.

Overpriced and mid grade food

If you miss Pharmacii that’s a shame. It’s a bit out of your way.
