50 Best Bars near Amherst

“The food here is tremendous (wings are on par with Bar-Bill and they have a great fish fry), but one word of caution - do not expect to be able to order meat on Friday’s during Lent. Long time regulars are probably well aware of this policy but we were caught a bit off guard. Given that they were absolutely packed with people ordering the fish fry, it makes a lot of sense, just something to be aware of.“

“Blue Bull is a great casual bar with great food & great atmosphere“

“We had an issue recently with the take out service at Tullys in Fairmount which was a rare occurrence. The food is always consistent and service prompt. I felt it was important to share my experience with management as I knew it was not typical of this location. I was called by Allen the manager who had been a friendly face for years. He was very apologetic of the situation and appreciative of my feedback, he wanted to make it right and advised me to ask for him when we decided to dine in again. We went on a typical busy Friday night. We’ were greeted and almost immediately sat. Before our meals touched the table he came over to advise me that one of our meals was on him as a courtesy. Allen is an important part of the Tullys family and the Fairmount location. He is always friendly and cares that his customers leave satisfied. The food was nothing less than delicious, tenders and fries came out cooked perfectly and within 10 minutes of ordering. Great Job Allen and Fairmount Tullys team!“

“Went there for st. Patrick’s day. Couldn’t be more pleased. We had a reservation and got seated immediately. Service was fast and friendly and the food was out of this world. I think I’d sell my soul for more sticky toffee pudding. If you want an idea of their service I watched a man straight up slap a glass of beer out of the waitresses hands (he was a hand talker and it was an accident) and into the wall. She was super kind about it and someone (a manger or owner) came over and immediately changed out everything and cleaned everything up while the server got a new beer. Everyone was kind and quick about it and had I not happened to catch it out of the corner of my eye. they were so discrete Idt I would have. As a table we tried the Sheppards fries, the corned beef and cabbage, corned beef sandwich and sticky toffee pudding and all were incredible. Definitely will be back!“

“I was here for a cousin’s wedding in Buffalo when we arrive to the tavern, the place was so incredibly busy. I couldn’t even think we would get food me and my family We sat down at a table and we got some service and everything was absolutely phenomenal. when I found out that the girl was making all the food, running it herself and taking the orders herself I was blown away She deserves a great modicum of respect and she deserves to be appreciated today“

“Came here from California because my coworker who is a buffalo native said i should try the double dipped wings. It did not disappoint. Doubled dipped in cajun and mustard, there is a good smokey flavor paired with the crunchiness of the chicken. Superb. The chili is also loaded. I suggest anyone visiting buffalo should try this.“

“I’m so glad I stumbled upon Duende during a quick trip to Buffalo. Tucked away in an industrial stretch where you’d never expect to find such a lively bar scene, it turned out to be a real gem. Gabriel, the bartender, was incredibly warm and attentive, and the mix of locals and live musicians gave the place a cozy, lived‑in charm. The food was genuinely good, too. A wonderful surprise all around.“

“Great place! Friendly Bartender, great wings and awesome beer list. We’ll be back“

“Fattey Beer is one of the good ones.

Mike M. and the team know beer, but more importantly, they know people. The selection is strong. The service is steady. The events give the place life.

It has become a reliable spot in the 14217 — a place with good beer, good energy, and a team that makes you feel welcome every time you walk in.

That matters. And Fattey Beer does it well.“

“Pasta was overcooked. Sauce was sour. Had to ask for grated cheese twice before we got it. Same with water. The restaurant and bar were very busy but no excuse for the disorganization we experienced. Probably won't go back as Buffalo has many Italian restaurants with better food, atmosphere and prices. We went at the high recommendation of friends and were very disappointed.“

“Just the coolest place with the coolest vibe and the coolest humans. That's all“

“just awesome!! can not say anything else but awesome“
