There is an outdoor patio to enjoy during warm weather, which I will be sure to check out again this summer. Village of Williamsville favorite and I'm glad I finally tried it. Food 4/5- it's not a place that you come for dinner. But if you'd like to have a side with your beer or cider, there are a few selections. I ordered from the daily special menu a grilled cheese sandwich with buffalo chicken inside with chips $5.00 not bad. You really come here for the alcoholic drink so keep that in mind. I had a glass of white wine since I'm not a beer drinker. Service 5/5- bartender was friendly and took our orders right away.

Unfortunately a few minutes after I landed, they closed the kitchen. I think it was about 1030 which sucked. So instead we snagged a drink. We had a gin and sprite, a wayward lane fine print ale, and an IPA which was okay. I forgot the name of it. Small place to sit inside. Maybe good for 30 people. Decent amount outside maybe 20. So it's not a huge plane but the noise coming from it was loud and so it had pretty decent energy. There was also an intense game of cornhole happening as well.

This review is long over due, but better late than never, right? I was in town for a few days and a…read morefew coworkers and I planned to grab dinner here one night. Why this place? Well, they were on the list of Yelp Buffalo's top places to eat in 2025, so of course we had to give them a try. The space itself is really beautiful. Nestled alongside a river with a cabinesque vibe. Stone exterior, with wood floors, exposed brick, and large fermentation tanks on the interior. It's really quite cozy. As for food, our table shared one of their tasty dips - the elote one to be exact. Elote is delicious on its own, but in dip form with pickled red onions, fire! I could eat an entire bucket of this stuff. When it came to my main course I ordered what I call the basic girl dinner, a caesar salad and fries... but here I went with the tater tots because I was told they are heavenly. My salad was a good portion size and exactly what you want when you order a caesar. As for the tots, the amount you get is insane and they were in fact, fried to a crispy perfection. They definitely hit the spot. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and I can see why Yelpers in Buffalo rate this spot so high. If I lived nearby I would definitely be a frequent flyer.

So what better place to go to celebrate the birthday of a blues musician with a large group of other musicians? (Not me, I just like the music). Great entertainment! Beer is super cheap. Pitchers run from $8-$10. The place has a big bar, plenty of tables, a decent size dance floor, and a pool table. Ladies room - clean and they even have some nice hand lotion which I wouldn't expect in a place like this. Only downfall. No food is served. I understand you can bring in your own snacks. Great place to come and hang out with friends. This stays on my list of places to return to.

We sat at the bar and she ordered her usual fave drink, a Mojito. She immediately asked the bartender for a different drink, stating the Mojito was not good. Dinners - 1 flatbread pizza - prosciutto was cut far too thick, almost like a regular ham slice. Pasta - creamy black truffle sauce was very thick/pasty. Staff - No conversation, no smiles, they did ask how our food was and we simply responded with one word "good" but overall the experience felt a bit unwelcoming. Would we return - Nope.

My suggestion is to call ahead for pick up as seating is as claustrophobic as the parking lot. It took me almost an hour from seating and beverages to having food in front of me. Also, set up a group text with your party as it's too loud to hear a person next to you talk. TLDR food was passable ambiance is what you'd expect from a neighborhood bar with a small kitchen. Takeout is a must with this place. Note, the steak I smelled cooking smelled divine. I should have ordered that.

He made the day! It's a tavern. Youre getting paper towels as napkins and tight seating. And you'll love it. We split the french onion and the fish fry. Im not usually one for fish fry sides. But damn--they were good. Both the Mac salad and the potatoes were excellent (and I dont love mayo) and very dill forward. Fish fry. Our new favorite. Maybe favorite stateside, not just wny. But definitely favorite in WNY. Crispy. Perfectly cooked fish. Not fishy. Huge. We split it. French onion: so much cheese! I ain't complaining. Good broth. Melting onions.

This popped up. Half a mile away. Really nice local spot, with no one else but the bartender and a maintenance guy. Not real big, but not too small. Very attractive and comfortable space. Looks like they have a long list of guest taps. No beers I recognized, so I had my go to, a hazy IPA. It was very good, so I had two. I had roast beef with creamy horseradish on a weck bun(??). Never seen that before but it was really tasty. The bartender recommended a roast poblano cheese soup as a side and I swear I could live on that soup alone! The bartender and her buddy were super friendly and just the right amount of chatty. I told them I was coming back to Buffalo to catch a flight later in the week and they gave me a BOGO coupon. I'll probably come back just for the soup!
