⭐ 1 Star Our group had a very negative experience at Big Texas Bar in Niagara Falls late Saturday night. We were celebrating a reunion of longtime friends from the U.S. and Canada when one of the security staff (a tall white male) aggressively attacked one of our friends without any provocation and knocked him to the ground. This was a shocking and completely unacceptable incident that appeared t...

Definitely a dive bar. Very dirty. Rank smell in lower level. Bartenders are really nice. Bull riding machine is cool. Loaded with bouncers! Cute patio! Band was playing while we were there, they were good, played a wide variety of music, which made it enjoyable. Cool things to do within the bar such as cornhole, pool tables and the bull riding machine. Run down bathrooms, water on the floor, for ...

Having grown up in a small town, I’ve witnessed racism firsthand, but the blatant discrimination here is beyond anything I’ve experienced. If you’re a person of color, do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere. No one shoul...

When is the best time to visit Big Texas Niagara (Niagara Falls, Canada)?
