Buffalo Traders Lounge was founded in the summer of 2017. Our mission is to expand the art of cocktail culture to the local community of Grand Rapids with a comfortable atmosphere that embraces the spirit of conversation and camaraderie. Our leather-bound menu offers a wide selection of old fashioned cocktails that first sparked the pinnacle of social drinking in the 1920s, as well as classy modern creations that keep this spirit of adventure alive and thriving. We also offer a selection of internationally crafted beers in bottle and draft that rotate seasonally.
Our classic Art Deco inspired atmosphere embodies an early sense of 70’s nostalgia that transports patrons to a classy realm of comfortability and style. Beginning roughly around 1925, American Art Deco was described as an architecture of ornament, geometry, energy, optimism, and color. It embraced a design of beauty and strength that welcomed all forms of collaboration and conversation. We would like to give that sense of tradition and collaboration back to the community.
So have a seat, enjoy conversations with your group or even the stranger sitting next to you. If you don’t know what you like, our bartenders would be more than happy to collaborate with you create a cocktail tailored to your pallet. Enjoy an evening of class, distinction, unbridled camaraderie. (Well, not too unbridled.)
Welcome to Buffalo Traders Lounge, folks!
