Late Night in Theater District

Late nights anchored by Buffalo's arts scene

Buffalo's Theater District clusters around Shea's Performing Arts Center and Kleinhans Music Hall, and the surrounding blocks have evolved into a solid late-night destination. Post-show crowds spill into nearby restaurants and bars that are well-practiced at handling a rush of hungry, thirsty theater-goers. The neighborhood sits adjacent to Allentown, so the bar options expand quickly once you start walking. It's a great area for a pre-show dinner or a post-curtain nightcap, and several spots stay open well past midnight on performance nights.
