About Balloons

A long-standing Ellicottville favorite

Balloons is a restaurant by day and Ellicottville's live music and late-night spot after dark. Lunch and dinner with famous wings, great burgers, and a full plant-based menu, then dinner shows, DJs, and dancing on the weekend.

The famous ceiling

Look up at the main bar and you will see it: a ceiling covered in photos of the people who have made Balloons their spot over the years. It is the kind of tradition you only get from decades as a local hangout. Ask the team about it on your next visit.

Food first

The kitchen runs a full menu through lunch and dinner: wings with a long sauce list, chargrilled burgers, sandwiches, salads, rice bowls, evening entrees, kids meals, and one of the biggest plant-based sections in town. See the full menu or order online.

Music after dark

Dinner shows start at 6:30 pm on show nights, late-night DJs go from 10 pm, and the Back Room opens up on big weekends. The music schedule always has what is coming up.
