Genuinely never had a bad time here, if I’m going to the bar these days, I’m most likely going here. As a visibly queer person I’ve been harassed at many north buffalo bars, but this one has always been welcoming. The music is always on point, the bartenders friendly and attentive, they have darts and even several flavors of high noon which are my favorite canned drink.
As a middle-aged dude for whom sleep has replaced sex as the ultimate goal in life, this place has reinvigorated me. Met some friends here for drinks and had a great time. Emily the bartender was on point all night. A brilliant host, her sarcasm and wit were superior to mine, which pissed me off at first but eventually I conceded defeat. Worth every penny. Will definitely be returning as often as I can!Also, they have dart boards!
Crystal, your review doesn't say anything about the members of the LGBTQ community or the people of color who enjoyed the rest of their night at Checkers after your crew left because it was your poor behavior that was the only problem there. Also conspicuously absent in your review is the part where you guys smashed beer bottles on the pavement in front of the establishment, don't worry tho, it's on video. As a customer I hope you never return, I'm betting...
