One of my absolute favorite bars to hit up in Buffalo. Staff are so knowledgeable and really enjoy interacting with customers when making high-quality cocktails. It's affordable and has a really groovy vibe.

I got the steak house sausage, the Mac n cheese, and a jam session with the seasonal mango hibiscus jam and Tanduay. The sausage was superb. The mixed drink was tasty. The Mac n cheese had a great texture but mild flavor which I was indifferent to but my partner loves. The bartender with the lampshade mustache was incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and professional, and the food runners were polite. Definitely recommend!

Yum....all food made in house. I had very cheesy macaroni and cheese and a delicious vegetarian sausage (Reggie Veggie). To drink I had a sazerac that was wonderful! The bartenders are top notch. I have also had their coleslaw and a Short Round (Korean short rib) and both were delicious!

11/9/2024 — The two bartenders turned off the Star Spangled Banner after the Canadian National Anthem began for the Buffalo Sabres game. The two bar tenders pretended that the sound stopped working but I watched the one turn the volume up with the knob right behind the computer after it was over. They pretended that it was broken and did not think we caught that it went silent in the restaurant.

Not much of a food menu. But the Mac and cheese was delicious! Raspberry jam session cocktail was very good and refreshing!

I'm reviving my old 5 star review with another 5 star review. I honestly don't think I've had better service at a small bar before. Staff was great, attentive, courteous. Food and drinks were phenomenal. It's the perfect little bar for a quick stop in or before a game or what not. Zero complains. It's clean. Great vibes. Great atmosphere.

Went to Ballyhoo on Memorial Day and even though it was crazy busy our bartenders, Shelby and Danny, were still incredibly friendly and attentive. Our food took no time at all and it was delicious. Great times as usual.

My friends and I went into ballyhoo on Labor Day. We walked to ballyhoo from river works to get some food. We ordered sausages and pickles and a couple craft cocktails. We ordered 4 jam drinks and the Bartender only made four. She had black hair and a septum piercing. She forgot to make my pineapple tequila jam, rolled her eyes and demanded a card for the tab which we provided. We drank the drinks and when we went in to order more we were suddenly “inebriated”. She delivered our food in a to go bag. She was extremely unpleasant and singled out my friends and I for no reason at all. I am not one to complain but this was ridiculous. We were talking to some frequent customers outside and they said this doesn’t happen and were surprised. I would never return just because of the service.

Fantastic craft Jam drinks and some of the best sausages in town. Highly recommend the Mac and cheese. They also have a giant ice cream sandwich for dessert.
