This is a cornerstone of the Allentown neighborhood and we always go back. Beef on weck is the real deal that always delivers. Great location and setting and even better Buffalo staples.

Colter Bay continues to be one of Buffalo’s gems. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and lively—whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or meeting friends. Their beer list is outstanding, with an ever-changing rotation that always offers something new alongside trusted favorites.
The food holds its own against the stellar drink selection. Thoughtful menu choices, generous portions, and dishes that are clearly made with care—everything I’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and consistent. Service has always been warm and attentive - which makes the whole experience even better.
Colter Bay is the kind of place that works for both casual nights out and when you want something a little special. Easily one of the best go-to restaurants in Buffalo.

If it was just rating the beer & service it would be 5 stars. The rating comes down just because of the food. Allso would've been nice to have the sound on for the Thursday Night Fireball game but that's not the biggest thing - I get it, some people aren't watching the game.
The burger/fries were 3 stars, regular pub food but not great. But the real problem was the Nachos weren't worth it even being half price. If I had paid full price for them I would've sent them back. They had VERY LITTLE cheese, I'm talking 75% of the chips being BARE (?!). And if you're going to have nachos on the menu even at a bar, you just have to serve them with at least one salsa or just take them off the menu. A tiny amount of pico isn't going to cut it, especially when there's barely any cheese present.
Just eat before and come for the beer. I don't know if there are better sports bars in town with better food and/or with the sound on for the game, but I'd recommend trying!

The poutine with short rib is heaven in a bowl. Nice and quick service, only complaint is the benches on the booths were pretty uncomfortable and the only table options had stools with no backs. Overall great spot for very good eats!

Better than you’d expect food. Fresh salad, good burgers, good fries, and the kids loved the Mac and cheese. Happy to customize orders. Friendly easygoing service
We were looking for a place that served fish fries other than Sunday and I had eaten at Colter Bay back in the 1980's so I knew they had good food. We moved to Tennessee 4 years ago and missed the local food here in WNY and we weren't disappointed. We enjoyed the fish fry and the beef on Weck.

Our server was so kind and really great. Beer selection was good and food was decent too. Burger over cooked but that's almost anymore these days. Maybe 8-12 tables outdoors, can't remember exactly. Will get a lot of sun outside but we loved finally being out on a patio. Umbrellas weren't working right outside but our server fixed ours for us quickly. For the service and selection and decent food at good prices, we will definitely be back. Thanks guys!
The bartender was excellent!
