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’ve been to both locations. I had fun both times. This weekend I went with my boyfriend who is from out of town and had never been before. He really enjoyed it. We had a great time with another couple and with Riley our instructor.“

“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.“

“It took 1hr to cook wings &salad? Bill was 37$, gave bar dude 50$ ask me if I needed change? 13$ tip wtf“

“We hired Blue Fire BBQ to cater my daughter’s high school graduation party, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park! From the first phone call to the final empty tray, the entire experience was fantastic.

The food was phenomenal. We went with pulled pork, beef brisket, grilled vegetables with balsamic glaze, roasted potatoes, and their creamy mac and cheese. Every single item was superb, perfectly seasoned, cooked with care, and full of flavor. The beef brisket was the undisputed star of the day. It was so tender and delicious that guests were raving about it nonstop. The grilled vegetables had just the right char and that bright balsamic finish, and the mac and cheese was the ultimate crowd-pleaser.

Matt, the owner, was incredibly easy to work with. He was responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our event perfect. He personally delivered everything right on time. The setup was quick and seamless and the portions were generous. We had plenty of happy guests and very little left over.

If you’re looking for a caterer who delivers quality BBQ with personal service, look no further than Blue Fire BBQ. They helped make our graduation celebration truly memorable. We can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Matt and team!“

“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“

“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.“
