This was our first post-pandemic visit. It was my wife’s first time ever! A lot of upgrades make the place look very classy and the contactless ordering is a huge convenience once you get the hang of it. We were received by the owner with a lot of enthusiasm and the staff that attended to us seemed eager to please. We were there for both dinner and the Hilario Durán Trio performance; it was a dinner-date for us. The venue is well suited for a good sound and being a tiny club, the ambiance is like having a jazz trio in your sitting room accompanied by new like-minded friends with the same gustos. The music was world class and matched perfectly the tapas and the wine. Pausa Art House has carved out an excellent piece of a pleasant place from a rough neighborhood that is just steps away from Kleinhan’s Music Hall. Enjoy!

Exactly what you crave for an easy, fun evening out: cool intimate listening venue, welcoming and beautiful host, fantastic musicians, good tapas, and nice choices for bottle of wine or cocktails. . Pausa…. BRAVA!!

Although the audience was asked to refrain from talking during the Alex McArthur performance, we were mesmerized by the unique & passionate sounds coming from the stage. A variety of genres from jazz to rock to contemporary, classical, and the blues were all meticulously strung together by one of the most talented singers & performers in Buffalo, accompanied by equally talented musicians!! A wonderful evening of good food, great service, and extraordinary entertainment!

Intimate space with wonderful entertainment. True musicians performing for those who really want to listen. Great wines and food.

Cool atmosphere, great live music offerings, and tasty, but simple food selections. Beers are a bit pricey (like $7 bucks for a Heniken). Beautiful art is often up throughout as well.

Such a nice cozy place to enjoy some wonderful music. Would like to see better food and drink options. Seltzer.

Great venue for small jazz show. Acoustics are very good. Staff are friendly and although limited selection food was good. Will definitely be looking for future shows to attend here.

I finally made it to Pausa, and I could not have been more impressed! The atmosphere was fabulous, and the energy was splendid! I look forward to frequenting this establishment moving forward. What a marvelous experience!

Great music but.. Crowded seating ambient noise and very chilly makes for some discomfort BEWARE you can only order via QR code and a hefty service fee is automatically added

Amazing experience. Love the venue. Music was fantastic, food was great, great drink selection, love the Cuban influence 👌

Small plates Excellent wine list A listening club ! As the owner tells you Sit down relax and prepare yourself for an intimate evening of music !

I love this unique little music pause. Not a big menu for food So don't come hungry unless you're planning to eat somewhere else later this is really small plates bread with racheda style topping's seafood toppings preserved with one sandwich that will fill you up. Beer and wine. The music is good. I really don't like their ordering system. Even the staff isn't happy with it.

Great Jazz concert. I love that. I did not like the food but atmosphere was joyful

QR codes to order food or drinks (really) the system was confusing our server was unhelpful and had an attitude to top it off. There is little parking in the area, had to park on side street blocks away, can’t imagine what it’s like in the winter.

Intimate listening experience. Great for date nite of music lovers. Appetizers and good selection of beers and wine.

Great jazz cafe with delicious bites, great wine variety and of course wonderful music performances.

Absolutely beautiful place to play small comfortable very cool the owner is a wonderful delightful individual place has a lot of atmosphere too I recommended highly

Wonderful cozy atmosphere with phenomenal music acts. Nothing quite like it in Buffalo!

This little jazz club is a gem. Great music, great food and drinks. We had a wonderful night. We will definitely be back when in Buffalo!

Nice atmosphere. Great music!

Great atmosphere, quality of music, and they have the patio opened up!! A lovely space to enjoy some live music and small plates/drinks :)

Cute, cozy, live music hide away venue. They serve, light fare, wine, champagne, IPA"s and pop. The staff was attentive to the patrons and cleaning up in between orders. They have super clean bathrooms. Oh, how can I forget? They have art on the walls. Check it out.

Intimate atmosphere. Nice vibe. Music was fantastic.

Love PAUSA art house! Such a wonderful atmosphere and the music is always amazing. I beg my husband to bring me here as often as possible! If I lived closer this is where I’d spend every weekend.

Small and Intimate ambiance good I think it would be nice to have more vocals but music is great..dont go hungry food wasn't that's good also go extra early !!! to find a parking spot .Allentown parking is the worse..

Paid money to watch a performance on a tv since a wall seperates the bar from the stage, two stars because it's one of the only jazz clubs in Buffalo

Excellent jazz club, I love the tapas and the beer selection is great, get there early or reserve to guarantee a seat up front it's a long narrow venue and well worth it to be up front
