Edited a minute ago New…read moreUpon entering the establishment, the security guard took our IDs and he was holding a high-alcohol content beer, Hayburner, in one hand, and holding our ID's with the other. He seemed angry when my brother asked if our ID's had to be scanned, and really seemed to snap at my brother, but we shrugged it off and he scanned them and we went on with our night. Throughout the night, the security guard continued drinking these Hayburners. My brother and I were enjoying our evening, had not once had any issue with another patron or the bar, and we were in mid-conversation about piano, when I felt the guard standing behind me. He was just standing behind me, staring my brother down. It was a scary feeling. My brother, who has worked in the industry for 20 years, asked if everything was okay. The security guard approached my brother and started pushing him saying "Everything is okay with me is everything okay with you??" And my brother was walking backwards trying to de-escalate this seemingly intoxicated security guard. That's when I watched him grab my brother by both shoulders and push him backwards across the entire length of the bar, knocking him into people and objects, eventually pushing him out of the door. He even grabbed another guy and shoved him so hard against the wall that that guys beer went flying and he had purple and blue bruises from his grab. I desperately tried for the other woman security guard to understand he had just been assaulted and had done nothing wrong. She seemed to nod like she had seen this before, but wasn't going to do anything about it. My sister and I were astounded at the actions of this man. That's when he shoved me, a mid thirties woman not even half his size. Even after we were walking away from the bar, this security guard stood outside yelling towards us that he, direct quote, was going to "break our f***ng necks". This is negligence on the bar's behalf, for allowing an intoxicated security guard to a$$ault patrons. We immediately filed a police report, and they requested the video footage from the bar. The bar refused to provide any of the footage. Usually, bars who have nothing to hide are quick to comply- which was very telling in this case. We were never once asked to leave. We were just blind-sighted. I immediately called the bar after the incident and one of the owners, Amanda, who was tending the bar and witnessed the entire thing, cheerfully answered the phone. She had served my brother with no issue. I let her know her security guard had just assaulted us, and she said "ok?" And nothing further. This place does not give a rip about anyone's safety, especially not women's. It has been weeks and I'm still recovering from the pain of this night. Beware for your safety, women. I did what I could, but their actions will likely result in someone getting seriously hurt.

It was terrifying. I could've lost my brother, and we didn't even know why. For your own safety, don't fight back if confronted like this, report it instead. Paper trails save lives. On a brighter note: my brother absolutely crushed it on the mic earlier that night.

She made the mistake of opening her wallet in front of security and saw her cash. 200 dollars for five girls to get in. So apparently they hire thieves/opportunists/degenerates. They will never go back...more than the money, who would be safe there. Security more interested in robbing their patrons instead of keeping them safe.

We sat in the back, not at the bar, and the waitress was still attentive. Usual pub fare on the menu with some twists, bahn mi poutine being one of those. We got fries and chicken wing egg rolls. I will say that the hand cut fries were probably the crispest I've ever had. I usually find hand cut fries soggy, but these were amazing. The drink menu was also eclectic, and they'll make any drink a mocktail, which is good for the DD. Open mic was full of talented weirdos and one excellent duo, so if you're into that scene, check them out!

My Bloody Caesar was perfect with Clamato, a couple of stuffed olives and a large shrimp hanging off the rim. Good menu and I had the pulled pork and sweet potato hash. Nicely seasoned with a fried egg on top. K had the giambotta vegetarian version. We both enjoyed it very much. They had a number of tables going and there is always a few at the bar. The place is a bit eclectic and whoever is doing the kitchen is thoughtful in the preparation and the presentation. This is also a great place to just stop for a drink or two and unwind.

Bartenders were busy but that was expected. The drinks were your typical upscale prices so not much I can say about that. There was lots places to sit and relax or stand with your friends and take in the view. Over all if your celebrating a fun night with your girls or guys this is the place to check out while in Buffalo.

He told us the cover was 5 dollars. I handed him a 50 dollar bill for 6 people and he told me that was not enough. If 6 people cost 5 dollars each, I am certain that should be 30 dollars which would cover 5 people and myself. He was rude to me and and said if I didn't want to pay a cover I should leave. I explained simple times tables circa 4th grade until he let us in with no apology. It's Now 12:40 AM, we have been at the bar for 15 minutes and have gotten zero drinks. We should have stayed at Soho where there is 0 cover and 0 disappointment. Unimpressed by this establishment. To update: It's now 12:55 am and there is no soap in the bathroom whatsoever. Not even a pump bottle. Ew.

It closed down not too long after the last time I went there. My friends Patrick and Jules took me here, and it was a fantastic club. The music wasn't as good as at the Coliseum and Continental downtown, but the phenomenal location right by the lake near Tifft on Fuhrmann, where the wind turbines now are, was such a wonderful place for a club in the winter. Unfortunately it was an awful club spot in the winter and cold weather, and since most of the year is freezing up here, that's probably what happened. To the person whose feelings I hurt that used to go here with me, I'm really sorry. I miss you.

Place was packed and everyone was having a blast! If you are looking for good music and a cool place to chill and enjoy the vibe, this place is worth a stop. It's awesome that places like this exist for people to have fun in a low pressure environment downtown.

With this being said, however, I have an excellent time every time I come here (typically weekends, late at night). It's a place where you can have A LOT of fun if you're in the right mood and with the right people. It's a nightclub, not a place where you'll want to go to have conversations with others. Drinks aren't very expensive, bottoming out at $3 canned/bottled Blue Lights. I've gotten freebies here before on special occasions. There's a very cool stage and an area upstairs where you have an engaging view of the main dance floor. They had a (surprisingly well-playing) live rock n'roll band when I was there last. Prototypical Chippewa bar.
