Went for dinner and drinks before a show at Kleinhan’s. We looked up places we could go before hand and found this place on line. The cocktails sounded great and the menu along with pictures of the food and establishment looked nice. The minute we walked in the bar tender welcomed us and offered seating anywhere we liked. It was empty. So it was no trouble finding a place to sit. He was super friendly and sociable. However one of the first things he said to us was “before you order I’m not sure what we have and what we don’t have”. My husband ordered a whiskey and coke. That was no problem. I ordered an old fashioned from the cocktail menu and the bartender had no idea. He said ….. “ like a muddled old fashion?” So I said I would just have a whiskey and coke too. We ordered all food from the fryer. And they did have that to give us. It was very good. I then asked for a Prosecco which was on the menu and he did check all over for that. They did not have it. I was ok with it and ordered the same drink I had. So….for me it was the website and advertising that was way off base. It simply was not true. However the staff was so nice. A bit disappointing but we still had fun trying a new place.

Chill vibe, in eclectic neighborhood.

The Jamaican Jerk chicken wings were delicious. The fries were a little too salty, but the sauces were tasty.

The owner was very accommodating and attentive.

The entire place smells of toilet water and bathroom. Music was great but couldn’t get past the smell

Stopped in on a Tuesday evening. Had a great meal. The corn chowder was superb. The chef made a special strawberry and feta salad for me. Husband had a burger that was delicious. We have had Cosmopolitans at many Buffalo bars, and these were some of the best. We were happy to meet Tony. He has been a customer at our business and we were happy to enjoy a meal at his business.

As others have said - CHECK YOUR RECEIPT AND BANK STATEMENT after visiting. Went there with a group of friends, bought 1 round of drinks for 6 people, paid for them with my credit card (I did not open a tab), we drank the drinks and left. I left a cash tip but kept my receipt. Checked my credit card statement - I have 2 separate charges from this bar (one charge was the round I paid for and the second charge was not authorized by me and I have no idea what it was for). Tried calling the bar to speak to a manager about it - no answer. Went there in person and was told that it was a hold on my card - which I argued as no bar I have ever been to and bought a single round of drinks at has charged a hold on my card. As of today the pending transaction when through and it was not a hold and in fact is 100% a separate unauthorized charge. Currently disputing the charge through my credit card company since no staff or manager seems to be willing/able to help. Oddly enough, just before writing this review a 3rd random charge came through on my credit card from this bar. I don't recommend going to this bar but if you do, don't use a credit card and keep your receipts!

Love this place!! Never disappointed. Our favorite night is Monday. Great deal on wings that are always perfectly cooked and sauced. Staff is always friendly and welcoming- Dan, Luke, Rob and Gary. Stop in a try the wings and one of the best chicken sammies around.

Over from the UK visiting family in Buffalo, I tried a lot of chicken wings! These are by far the best. super crispy, lots of flavours if you don't want just regular. We tried a few, the garlic parm are fabulous! Great menu and drinks, brilliant service. You really can't go wrong at this place. Highly recommend.
