The False Front

I have been coming for almost a year now and it never disappoints!! Bartenders can make pretty much anything you request!! And they are an absolute pleasure to chat with and be around, highly recommend a pickle back shot, lemon drop martini, cocktails from their main menu, ect… honestly anything u get here is amazing!! I’ve tried things I’ve never had and always been happy!!!

Our mixologists were great! Loved what they were doing while creating our cocktails. Very friendly and welcoming. We tried a couple cocktails and I also had a nice rare craft beer from Upland Brewing out of Columbus, IN. Stop in and get something different and adventurous!

Nice place. Stopped in after work for a few drinks, open late. Bartender was nice and they had a good selection of beer and reasonably priced cocktails.

This was a recommendation from a local while we were in Union Pier exploring, and we were not disappointed! It's a tiny little place, with incredible drinks. If you're looking for a fun little spot to sit with the girls, or a date night, this is the place! Can't wait to go back again!

What an incredible hidden gem! The False Front, tucked away inside David’s Delicatessen & Coffee, offers a truly unique experience. By day, it’s a cozy deli serving delicious breakfast, lunch, coffee, and sandwiches. But after 6 PM, it transforms into an amazing speakeasy with a bar that slides into place—such a cool concept! It was our first time in New Buffalo, and we couldn’t have been more impressed. Our bartender, David, was fantastic! We later learned he was just filling in, but you’d never know—his drinks were expertly crafted, and he made us feel so welcome. He even gave us some great local recommendations, including Tom Cat, which we’re excited to try. The other bartender was equally amazing and clearly knew her stuff. The vibe, the creativity, and the service here are unmatched. For a truly one-of-a-kind experience, we highly recommend The False Front!

This was a super cool spot to stop for a night cap! First, we loved the concept of reopening the deli at night as kind of a secret speak easy. The bartenders were hip and knowledgeable, the cocktail menu was well varied and well designed, and the drinks were amazing! My wife chose a Cosmo and it was delicious, and I had an old fashioned that was among the most carefully crafted I’ve ever had for the price. On a date night? Go here! Out with friends? Go here! Rough day of fishing? Go here! Is your favorite bar an Applebees where you can slurp a Bahama Mama? Go here and learn how great a bar and a drink can be!

This is a great spot for a delicious cocktail. Alex was our bartender and she was fantastic. 10/10 would recommend ordering a mezcal cocktail from her. Overall this is a great bar in New Buffalo and will be returning with family.

I am no stranger to a proper cocktail. I was pleasantly surprised to find a knowledgable staff and friendly patrons. They had a flip on the menu called the Flip Flop that was superb. The second night I threw some more unique "classic" cocktail their way. Not only were all the drinks fantastic, but the staff enjoyed the challenge. I plan to be back in the future!
