Best Dining Bars in New Buffalo

Panchos is a cool, colorful, cultural, decorative, rooftop bar/restaurant with great customer service and recommendation. We had Karen as our waitress, she gave us food and drink recommendations, she checked on us multiple times, she brought us an extra blood orange and lime soft serve margarita and tequila shot to the table (no charge), she split our bill 4 ways with no problem, the food and drinks were delicious, we all took home leftovers, the music was good, there was no crowd at all having brunch at 1:30pm. There’s cultural and colorful decorate backdrops and walls for cute pics, staff offered to help us take group pics. The only downfall was their elevator was out of order 11/7/26 but they did notify me via open table app chat 2 days before my reservation to state that the elevator isn’t working and that we would have to take the stairs to reach the restaurant. The restaurant is located on the 3rd floor for the rooftop, walking up to the 3rd floor wasn’t that bad. They had seats at the top of the stairs in case customers were winded or were waiting for others to arrive. We still enjoyed our time together and will be returning.

The food was delicious, the service was great. I loved the atmosphere. This was a date night for me and my wife. She loved it…

Our meal was very good. Great bartenders. Husband is on a Negroni kick and approved of the quality. My hamburger was cooked med rare as I requested and was very tasty. I was able to sub a small salad for fries and I was surprised it was a mixed green salad and great with the dill dressing.My husband Weiner schnitzel which he enjoyed as well. Bonus as playing Trivia game which was competitive to say the least……lol. Lots of return players. We will be back for the food, drinks and the fun!

Outstanding experience in one of the best kept secrets in the loop. Service was top notch and the meal was perfectly prepared. Best part was our seat by the window looking at the Chicago skyline. My out of town guest was impressed and had an exceptional experience.

It was an overall nice experience. I am glad my family and me went out.
