    My husband and I found this awesome place while in East Aurora. It's open when the lamp outside is on. But don't look up, look down because the entrance is below ground level. If you love bourbon you will like this place. If bourbon isn't your thing, that's ok as they have other options! I am not a bourbon drinker, but will be back as we had a blast there! Also arrive early as it's small and fills up fast!

    Cool little spot with excellent cocktails- it is not on elm street it is just around the corner.

    Great drinks, but what could be a cool mellow vibe is ruined by boomers crowding the bar who don't know how to use their inside voices.

    Very small but people were friendly and seating was minimal but it was super cool. Will be good to make another trip

    We were in town for the week & after a long day of traveling & a crappy experience at our hotel,…read morethe Hyatt Regency in Buffalo. We ventured out into downtown area to grab a drink & hopefully find a spot still serving food. We stumbled across House of Charm while searching online info for something nearby. The exterior is unassuming but easy to spot & the delightful interior was funky, fun & welcoming. Music wasn't insanely loud but was there & the number of interesting "charms" sprinkled throughout the establishment were a total gas. My favorite was the deconstructed Barbie parts displayed on small hooks at the end of the bar. The staff was lovely & came over to greet us in a timely manner. Assured us that they still had a late night menu & then we got to have THE BEST SPICY MARGARITAS EVER!!! The paninis were also yummy & we each got a piece of chocolate & a Dum Dum included on our plates for dessert. But seriously! The spicy margarita! Was absolute Fire I love spicy & am often disappointed if I'm trying a Spicy Marg out & about. Even if I ask for extra spicy...it never really is. But this guys Spicy Margarita was AMAZING!! Both myself & my husband (who doesn't love spicy like I do) were able to enjoy the drinks. They were spicy enough that I enjoyed them & the flavor profile was still balanced & delicious so my hubby was also a huge fan. Of all the places we got to try while in Buffalo, House of Charm was by far my favorite!

    Came here for a happy hour and had a great experience! We were with a group and the bartender was…read moresuper attentive and quick to get us drinks. The drink menu has a good variety of drinks with reasonable prices. Atmosphere is cool too.

    Arriba Tortilla is a fresh take on Mexican food, with innovative salsa's and fresh fruit garnishes…read moreon Americanized dishes. We arrived ready for tacos! Our waitress was very helpful, suggesting dishes for us, and explaining the ingredients in entrees with which we were unfamiliar. I love the decor in this restaurant. It atmosphere decor extremely whimsical and vibrant. We always love our tacos from Arriba Tortilla!

    Happy Cinco de Mayo! Fun time today, everyone got a sombrero to wear…read more Had been to the restaurant when it was on Main St and came once after they moved into this location and was not impressed but that changed today. Chips and salsa were brought over to our table. Started with margaritas, I always get the frozen lime one and it was very tasty. I got the taco combo, too busy talking to get a pic of that one. You pick either corn or flour shells then choose your filling. I had chicken, shrimp & mahi-mahi, served with rice, refried beans & corn pudding. Didn't finish my platter but everything I had was very good. I was surprised by how good the corn pudding was, almost like a creamy corn bread. Hannah was our very pleasant server. When our bill came it was a nice surprise to see we got Happy Hour prices on the margaritas.... $3 off and since it was taco Tuesday it was another $3 off the tacos. The restaurant is not really big inside but the tables and chairs are the heavy Mexican carved style. Glad we got there a little earlier, the wait was at an hour when we left.
