And here I thought Essex was the only good dive bar left in town. I am properly chastened and educated. Thanks for the great wings and time!

I always have an absolute blast every time I am here. The drinks are delicious and bartenders are absolutely amazing. Their upbeat personality and remembering what I am drinking really made me feel welcome. They have seating at the bar and a few tables near the bar, and had a band play in the back room which was really interesting. They also have outdoor seating which is great in warm weather. They offer food which I did not try but everything looked and smelled amazing. The only negative is it is not handicapped accessible.

Hand cut fries! Or, at least they appear and taste that way. Friendly welcoming atmosphere for all types. They also have a full bar with a good beer variety. Big dance floor with live shows. A nice local... Dive? It's better than that but still a dive.

One of the best local venues in Buffalo. Much cleaner and better food than any other spot that you can see a local band play in my opinion

Such a great welcoming space... and excellent food as a bonus
It's a very chill atmosphere. It's cleaner than a dive bar, but eclectic with decorations. They have stage space but it's small and cozy and not usually too crowded. You can see the owner in and out of the kitchen. She was very nice to her staff.
Kid-friendliness: It's a bar. No kids please.
Wheelchair accessibility: There are steps into the place, however call ahead and I'm sure they would make arrangements, so that you feel welcome. It's the vibe that I get from the people there.

I can't say enough good things about Hot Mamas Canteen. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a warm smile that immediately made me feel at home. The owners are truly wonderful people; they take the time to connect with every guest, making you feel like part of the family.
The food here is simply outstanding. Each dish is bursting with flavor, and you can really taste the passion that goes into every bite. I’ve tried everything from the appetizers to the main courses, and they never disappoint. What really sets this place apart, though, is the amazing staff. They’re not just friendly; they genuinely care about your experience. Whether it's helping you choose a drink or making sure you’re enjoying your meal, their attentiveness makes every visit special.
If you’re looking for a bar that combines great food with a welcoming atmosphere and incredible people, Hot Mamas is the place to be. I can’t recommend it enough!
One of the best things about Hot Mamas Canteen is that there's always something fun happening! From lively burlesque and drag shows to engaging events and karaoke nights, the entertainment never disappoints. It creates a vibrant atmosphere, drawing in a diverse crowd and ensuring that every visit feels fresh and exciting. Whether you’re there to perform or just to cheer on your friends, there’s always a great reason to come back!
Wonderful staff, Wonderful owners!
