My favorite wings in the Olean area. You have the most hospitable bar tending staff imaginable. Any issues with food get resolved promptly. A large variety of sauces to choose from and a great menu. Definitely my recommendation to anyone looking for an inexpensive fun night in Olean. read more

Wow! I thought the half way inn was the best wings in the area until I had wings at the 3rd base! Our minds are blown! It's more of a cozy friendly dive bar without a nice view like halfway inn, but the halfway in wings, fries, and staff don't hold a candle to 3rd base! The wait staff and management at 3rd base are what make it a Cheers type vibe. Don't sleep on it or be fooled by the unassuming outside. The place is dated, but very clean, fast, super welcoming, exceptional at what they do, a well oiled machine, and delicious! My mouth is watering and I can smell the wings and Cajun fries vividly in my memory while I write this. I'm kicking myself for driving by without trying them for forever. I'm addicted now! read more

We found this place looking online for ribs. We checked the Yelp reviews & decided to try it. So glad we did!! Excellent pizza, wings(garlic butter Parmesan & Daryl's mild sauce), Philly Cheesesteak sub, & an order of ribs & French fries. Our waiter was also the bar keeper & he was phenomenal. He answered all our questions, made suggestions, was funny all while being efficient at what he did! Yes we will definitely be back to this not fancy but perfect place to eat! read more

Cold beer, burger was perfectly cooked, might be the best burger I have ever come across. Try the Pizza logs, get extra marinara but so good. read more

Placed order at 8:24 at 8:50 we find out another table's food wasn't even put in to the kitchen so after inquiring ours wasn't either. I was told 8 minutes at 8:51.. 9:04 we got our food. Food was amazing.. unfortunately bar keep and potentially two owners at bar should have known we were waiting an incredibly long time for food.. tell me 8 minutes when I waited almost 30 minutes.. hello?! Absolutely crazy by the negligence of those individuals. Food was great. I would highly recommend NOT dining in you'll be disappointed by the service. Nothing was taken off the bill.. I think they apologized. SMH read more

Good wings, affordable price. Good service. Old place but typical for the area. It's where the locals hang out. They seem to have their regulars who come for beers and bites to eat. read more

If you are looking for a bare-bones, unpretentious, incredibly inexpensive place to grab a drink on W. State St. in Olean, you could do a lot worse than this. Friendly locals watch and chat about sports and there's typical bar grub to be had. If you can live with a smaller beer selection, it's one of several nice alternatives for when the Four Mile is closed early to mid-week. read more

Amazing service! Great wings! My go to every time I come to Olean! Love the vibes and culture they create here!

Best wings in town with lots of different sauces and heat levels to choose from. Basic sports bar decor and atmosphere.

Stopped for a snack about 2:30. Ordered wings - Came out cold and swimming in a pool of sauce. Just not good

This place charges for a pizza box they told me they always have. That was a lie. Pic is proof read more

I ordered some butter garlic parmesan wings (BGP) and they weren't the best I've had. I mean they were ok and cooked well but it lacked seasoning and I'm wondering if that was intentional. If so, that's a healthy thing but put a disclaimer on it. Now, the joint in Jamestown, their BGP wings have a heaping amount of garlic on them; here, there was more of the parmesan. I supposed I could just buy an order of each and mix 'em up to be satisfied...NOT! Anyway, they were very nice and friendly here so I'm definitely going to give them another try. I just need to inform them that I like seasoning. read more

My boyfriend and I order food from here often. We'd say they have some of the best wings in Olean. It usually seems like a decent atmosphere whenever I go in to pick up our food. read more

While in the area I stopped at 3rd Base Bar & Grill. It comes as described, a classic comfortable local Olean dive bar and on top of that it has to be one of the premier Olean NY sports bars. Really excellent wings, nice selection of beers, enough TV's to easily watch games, and to top it off an opportunity to shoot pool. Put this dive bar/sports bar in my neighborhood and I'd be a regular. It would compete for best wings in the area!!! read more

A great place to eat , watch a game and listen to tunes . A good mixture of young and old, male and female. Dart boards and pool tables available . What this place is known for is the wings- may be the best in the area! Also popular is the prime rib steak sandwich- you gotta try it! The girls doing the cooking and bartending are HOT and take care of their customers with a heavy dose of skill and professionalism . I love going there and will certainly go back on a regular basis! read more

This place is bigger than it looks and the staff bust their butts to make sure you're happy. We got there just before pool league began and watched it fill up fast. The wings looked so good- will definitely try them when we go back. One of few bars open in Olean and def. worth checking out. Two pool tables and a few craft beers from Ellicottville Brewing Company- I like it! read more

We have been told to try 3rd base because of the fries. We finally did and glad we did. I ordered the Philly cheese steak and my husband ordered the Ruben. The food was great the portions we're huge. Looking to go back to try a burger soon. read more

There are lots of choices for burgers and bear around Olean. 3rd Base definitely wins the competition among Sports Bars. Look for me nursing a few beers during the Bills games at the end of the bar. The staff are friendly and helpful and the company's pretty good too. More than your average dive bar, 3rd base is definitely my choice for sports bars in Olean, NY when I'm there. read more

Let's start this off with, Yes it's a bar first. The menu is a lot of fried and not at all healthy. And who cares. It shouldn't be. My husband and I ordered a bunch of food to go. Here are the focal points... Service: Ordering over the phone was simple and quick by a friendly girl. Set it up for a specific time. Very accommodating. Food: This was pretty amazing. For the cost of a pizza and wings in Ellicottville we got so much food. Actually cheaper. Our whole bill was 55 bucks, compared to the 65 back home. 10 Cajun Wings {wet}: Really interesting. Hot sauce mixed with dried spices. Crispy. I liked these very much. Cajun Fries {wet}: For to go next time I'd order them dry as our trip home made for soggy fries. But a reheat in the oven and those were spicy tasty potatoes. 20 Breaded Wings Hot: My husband loves breaded wings. He has been on the hunt since it's very hard to find any place around us that does them. He was thrilled with these. Ate them all at once. Fried Green Beans: Umm, this is how I think all beans should be if they aren't wok tossed. Fried Brownie Bites: Hot chocolate love. Who wouldn't like these? Whole Steak Sub: My husband thought this was just okay, especially compared to the delectable breaded wings. But still quite enjoyable, though sort of small. Atmosphere: Once again people, it's a sports bar. Collage and older men looking to flirt with the pretty bar girls. That's just what it is. My husband and I lead a more alternative nerd lifestyle, so felt a little out of place sitting in there but it wouldn't stop me from returning. Don't come here expecting some diner ambiance and you will be fine. Or you could always take out. Overall I'm sorry it took so long for me to stop here. I've passed it a million times and wrote it off as another Olean collage lovers bar. And it is but it's got really good food. Worth the money and the crappy parking. read more

I have been traveling around New York looking for dive bars and fell in love with 3rd Base as soon as I saw it. Wings, pool, darts and beer. What more could you want? read more

A friend took me here while I was visiting. I'm not usually a fan of dive bars, not even in my own town, but was pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff and the overall vibe of 3rd Base Bar. Everyone says the wings are great. As an herbivore, I can't vouch for that, but there were certainly a lot of people gobbling them up. Who knows, the good time I had may have had something to do with my friend being a regular, but if you're ever in this neck of the woods, give it a whirl. read more

Never in my life have I experienced such a disgusting dining outing. Food was okay, slow. However the conversations being had at the bar, between all staff and some customers were obscene and extremely racist. I've never felt so uncomfortable sitting and dining due to how atrocious their language, conversation, and racism were. This was also a Sunday evening. I will never step foot in here nor will I let anyone I know step foot in here. I'm unbelievably appalled by the experience. Clearly an establishment and staff that is okay with racism and having absurd conversation without any care as to who is around or what they are saying. Ignorant and disgusting. read more

Sports bar? Are you kidding me? One or two TV's. Only two booths and two high-top tables. Go someplace else.

Stopped here for a drink, kinda looked like a local dive from the outside, so I kinda knew I'd be @ home. For a wed it was busy! They had a 55 cent wing specials going on.. It was a cool mix of old and young ppl.. The bartenders were all friendly, fast & Hot.. Ordered 12 wings and tried there base special sauce & honey bourbon.. Both were good, and the wings were nice and crispy. A older guy I was sitting next to was a regular and said they were best wings in Olean, never trying anywhere else in town, I'd have to agree :) read more

Typical dive of Olean. Food is greasy, music played is way to loud for such a small place and not enough seating. The back door is open so while you're there you get all the 2nd hand smoke one could ask for. Same thing when you walk in the front, a bunch of smokers blowing junk in your face. It's a dump. read more

Great food and great prices. Friendly people,great service, and great bar food. The staff always make you feel welcome and you don't have to be a regular to go here. You can eat in at the bar or tables/booths. You can order ahead and pick it up. The wings are the best and biggest in the area! There are many sauces to choose from. The sandwiches, burgers, and subs are delicious. The portions are plentiful! My favorite finger food is the breaded cauliflower with ranch! I love the chicken fingers and fish and chips. My hubby loves the Nasty Nate and the burgers. Drink prices are cheap. You must try 3rd Base! read more

Solid burgers and fries & plenty of TVs. I always enjoy coming here to watch the Sabres and Bills games -- this place is definitely one of the best sports bars in Olean! read more

Great chicken wings- though there were so many choices it was hard to pick. I was also surprised that for a local bar that the menu had so many reasonable and inexpensive offerings. A great dive bar. A great neighborhood bar. And by the looks of the many trophies, the pool table, dart boards & TVs a great sports bar as well. read more

The best wings and vest slogan (stop here before going home) in town. Large variety of beer too.

Great food for an amazingly low price! Wings and sandwiches were tasty and came out fast. The sandwiches especially were cheap, literally at or around $5 for a decent size portion. Would definitely come back!!! read more

This place is great. Yeah, it's a dive, but who cares. The staff was super friendly, and the food was great. I had two different flavors of wings. Both flavors were delicious, and they were huge. I could barely finish the 10 I ordered. Can't beat $2 beer either. I'm from out of town, but if I'm ever back in the area, I will definitely return. read more

Best wings in town. Also burgs and other such things. Fast courteous service! This is the best...realllllly AWESOME prices.

Another Great Sports bar. When I first went to 3rd Base someone said they had the best wings in Olean. I am originally from Buffalo and I must say 3rd Base Bar & Grill does have superior Wings, I have had several different flavors and all have been great on a number of differdrent nights. I am a Chef and have prepared wings all around the country.Usually making the classic Franks and butter combo. But their are 20-25 unique varaities out there now and 3rd Base does several very well or even superior to everyone else in the City. Debbie and the rest of the lovely Waitress and Bartender staff are great host of this Sports bar. They have two blillyard tables which are active all night long. For Yankee fans you will find your Team the 27 Time World Champions well represented. We also had fried onion petals were cooked to order n were crisp and very tasty. When I was there last time as D.D. I was treated well n drank blueberry Red Bull. other nights I enjoyed a great variety of brews. Thanks as alway forlistening. Chef Jim, resident of Olean, more to come. read more

I'm a big fan of their wings. Definitely get their wings of you decide to stop in. As far as dive bars go this one is top notch! I gave it 5 stars because it's exactly what I look for in a place like this (not to be confused with fine dining, but exactly what it's supposed to be). The service is great, it's a chill environment,... What's not to love? read more
