Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly menu.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access with no stairs and table seating.“

“Our dinner was delicious and their homemade salad dressings were spectacular! Service over the top too. We highly recommend.“

“I ordered a single order of fingers to go. Absolutely amazing and they make them fresh to order. Not some Tyson bull junk. Hand hammered chicken breast. 10/10 again. Never had a bad meal there.“

“I alway enjoy whatever cocktail I get from Ballyhoo, and my last visit there was no different. One of the best bars in town in my opinion with very reasonably priced drinks and excellent customer service. Not a very large bar space, but definitely worth checking out. They do serve a limited food menu as well, but I have not tried any yet.“

“We loved Union before but now it is even better in the new location. The bar is awesome and there is a full dinning room now to come and enjoy a killer meal. I love the French onion soup, wings and of course Transit log!! Awesome downtown place!“

“Quite possibly THE BEST wings I have ever had. I travel to Buffalo from Chicago every year and always make sure to stop at Kelly's. The Beef on Weck is huge and delicious. Very friendly staff and the drinks are very affordable. Fed my entire family of 8 for under $100!“

“This place is never open when we're downtown (Sun/Mon), but if we are throughout the week, it's a nice martini bar. Food is excellent, drinks are drinks. Bartenders are entertaining, which sometimes keeps us there longer than we should be. Highly recommend stopping in at least once and see for yourself.“

“Hi thanks again so much so much so much so much“

“Great beer selection! So much work was put into this place it is a great atmosphere!“

“Husband and I ventured here after dinner to grab a couple drinks before heading home. The bartender was attentive, informative, and very welcoming. Don’t remember her name, she was getting ready to leave from the day shift Saturday. We were waiting for our Uber in the parking lot when she left and even checked to make sure we were ok. This place is now on our list of places we like to frequent.“

“Love the food, atmosphere and service. It’s everything a NY bar and grill should be.“

“I LOVE this place! Awesome staff, great drinks, and the smoked hot wings are out of this world. Definitely a place to check out and play a game of darts or just have a beer.“

“Great friendly place! Had a blast“

“lol this place isn’t “allen st bar & grill” or whatever, it’s The Pink. and i’ve heard their food is great (never eaten there because i’m a vegetarian). but one time when i was there i asked if there was any vegetarian food & the bartender served me some pickles, which was great. and drinks are cheap. great place to end a fun buffalo night. also if you’re a femme, you’ll make temporary best friends in the women’s bathroom every time. can you even say you’re a buffalonian if you haven’t been to The Pink? no. the answer is no.“

“Love this place!!! I go here for all my holidays.“

“Our bartender, Jackie, greeted us as we took seats at the bar. She took our order right away. She engaged with each customer and checked back with us as needed. The wings were great, but an otherwise limited menu. A pleasant stop for a refreshing drink or two.“

“Just ate there today. Delicious homemade salads, nice size fish (offered breaded or battered), great fries and some rye bread and butter to boot!Nice, clean eating area with a friendly waitress Becky! So nice and attentive!You will make this your regular Friday night fish fry. I see they do to go orders as well!“

“This is a small corner bar. The bartenders stay on top of your drinks! They have pool tables, darts & a jukebox. They sometimes have live bands or a dj. They do serve food as well. I recommend the cheeseburgers & frys! If your in the area check it out!“

“Delicious food and great service! highly recommend!“

“A friend and I visited this bar and we were greeted and served by one of the nicest bar staff I have ever encountered, impeccable service and some good, friendly chat the visit was then topped off with what my friend described as "The Best wings I've ever had".Cannot recommend this place enough if you are lucky enough to find yourself here.“

“a small local bar where they treat you like they treat you like you're friends. again because of what's going on a limited menu, all food is good quality and value. the regular menu has a lot more to choices. I frequent often and will definitely go back“

“I had my daughter's birthday party at Northtown center during an open skate on short notice. The Skybox owner was very accommodating, and set us up in their private party room for pizza and cake. It overlooks the main ice rink which was great. The staff was very helpful and the pizza and wings were tasty. Thanks again!“

“Very disappointed in the duck soup. I have been eating it for years and the last batch I purchased at the Polish Festival had carrots in it!! Too thick and gray.Must be someone new making it. When I asked about the carrots, they said they've been doing it like that for years. Huh?!“

“great place, to meet up with friends very laid back, your typical neighbor's bar food is good, and very cheap I highly recommend“

“Valerie developed her own beer batter, and they have $2 off the fish fry during Friday happy hour this time of year!Also, the dance nights are some of the best I've found. But whatever you're into, Hot Mama's probably has a night for it, karaoke, trivia, pool, sports, etc. Those are just my favorites.“

“Very accommodating - we truly appreciate their hosting our event there!!!“

“Da best spot on the Elmwood strip for food, drinks, and vibes. Jack Rabbit spreads ❤️“

“Definitely recommend honey bourbon barbecue sauce for what ever you get.“

“Great food, great atmosphere and owner treats you like he has known you his whole life!“

“Got stranded at Christmas 2022. This hotel staff is absolutely amazing!! Very accommodating, super helpful. Other hotels are running out of food and these guys are making breakfast and a dinner for everyone. It’s truly an amazing crew. They are stranded with us and dealing with all the stress yet have a smile on their face!! A can not recommend this place enough, just because of the staff. Merry Christmas and thank you so very very much!!!“

“This place is great until it isn't. Owners and staff are phenomenal. Just order food and leave. I've been here many times for happy hour. The music is banging but don't get to comfortable. Leave before 8 or 9 lol“

“Great food fast friendly service relaxing atmosphere“

“I went to Bada Bing. Had their pizza and it was delicious. The owners are great people.“

“Service wasn’t great. Food was incredibly good!! We sat in the upper back. Waitress wasn’t around too much. And didn’t check in often. Waited a long time and did not get our second round of drinks…. The food was absolutely delicious!! Made up for the poor service..“

“The bartender Taylor is amazing!! Highly recommend this place because of her!“

“Say that you're me. You're on a bus from Cleveland to Toronto and have two hours in Buffalo. You've always wanted to try authentic wings in Buffalo, NY.Be me. Go to Washington Square. It's a wonderful dive bar. The wings are delicious. They hit you with a wave of vinegar and are perfectly crispy. The bartender, Joe, is friendly and the beer is cheap. I would have spent all night here if I could.“

“We visited Buffalo last Saturday and decided to try Anchor Bar. The food was great. But the service was amazing. Truly, the beat service we have had in a long time. Thank you for making it a wonderful visit.“

“Have you seen the billboard for the thrusday night seafood specials? I did! I love seafood, so I decided to try it out. I booked my reservations online. The service, food, and drinks were great. I had the $25 crab legs, and boy, were they delicious. I will definitely return again. FYI, the specials are only running to a limited time during the summer.“

“I recently had the chance to visit Frizzy's Bar & Grill on Allen Street, and let me tell you, it was an experience I'm eager to share. Walking into Frizzy's, you're immediately greeted by its divey charm, a hallmark of Buffalo's vibrant bar scene. It's the kind of place that feels immediately welcoming, with a lively atmosphere that promises a good time.From the moment I stepped in, the energy was palpable. The place buzzes with a youthful vibe, perfectly balancing between being busy enough to feel like the place to be, yet offering just enough personal space to not feel overcrowded. I noticed right off the bat the pool table in the basement, a spot that quickly became the center of our evening's entertainment.One thing I absolutely must mention – and a huge draw for my friends and me – is their photo booth. Who doesn't love a good photo booth to help capture your memories? It's such a fun way to keep a memento of a great night out, and Frizzy's offers just that. Amidst the laughs, the games of pool, and the rounds of drinks, we made sure to squeeze in a photo session. It's these little things that add up to make an evening special.Speaking of drinks, the prices were fair, and the selection of beers on tap was impressive. I appreciated the quick service from the friendly bartenders, even with the place being quite packed. It's not every day you find a bar that manages to maintain such a welcoming atmosphere on a busy night.But perhaps what stood out to me the most was the security presence. It made the whole experience feel safe and cared for, which isn't something I take for granted.In all, Frizzy's Bar & Grill embodies the classic Buffalo dive bar experience with its own unique twists – like the beloved photo booth. It's a place that caters to a wide variety of people, making it worth a visit whether you're a local or just passing through. I can't wait to go back, maybe on a Tuesday, Friday, or Saturday night, which I've heard are the best times to catch the true essence of Frizzy's.“
