When you have a band going you don't open the pool table right by the band where ppl are sitting and standing around it. People were getting hit by the pool sticks and everything. That's not right. Not happy

We didn't actually get to eat here at all. We came in for dinner around 5:30 pm on Friday evening.

An employee quickly came over to card our son. He's 17, and while we are aware that he's underage, we didn't realize he couldn't eat here.

My rating is for the bar itself. The place melted like a toilet. I couldn't even imagine having food in a place that smelled this bad.

Thank you, to the server who recommended we go next door to Coles. Their food, amostphere and staff were 5 🌟 Highly recommend!

I recently more than a one time visited Mr. Goodbar, and it was an excellent experience! The chicken wings were delicious, crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The drinks were equally awesome, with a great selection to choose from.

I went with my husband, and he loved their chicken wings just as much as I did. He also really enjoyed their beer selection, which added to the whole experience. If you’re looking for a spot with great food, drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere, Mr. Goodbar is definitely worth a visit! Highly recommend!

Their security said my ID was fake and I cannot go inside despite the fact my ID is real.

It is a good bar, def not a great bar. Darts, live music, and French kisses from real live French men.

This is definitely one of the worst establishments that I’ve ever gone into… It is so depressing as soon as you walk in, and the old guy with the long hair working the bar is definitely lacking any kind of social skills needed to be in this position.

We went here with the intent of waiting for the bar next door to open, but we didn't end up leaving! Rather we spent the next four hours enjoying drink after drink. They mostly had tap and can beer options but when we inquired they did have cocktails available such as a margarita, and a whiskey sour which were delicious! Drinks were very low price!

We weren't local but the staff was attentive to us and even openly chatting with us near the end of our visit. Should we ever visit again we will definitely be back!

No problem with service but the food was absolutely tragic, bartenders were wonderful and refunded immediately. Ordered 20 wings but 10 soggy, cold & barely sauced wings came out. Absolutely tragic, this place used to have some of the best wings in the city. Would never order from here again.

The ages of consumers varied from 21 to retired. I always enjoyed that about Buffalo's dive-ish bars. We went to see a friend's band in the attic. Between everyone upstairs and the bass hitting the floor from downstairs, I wondered if collapse was inevitable. The worst part of Mister Goodbar is the women's bathroom. There isn't enough room in the stalls, and at least two didn't properly latch. If you have back or knee issues, I don't recommend going into the attic.

Parking: There's a paid parking lot around the corner. But parking in the lot and on the street will always depend on the time you're going out and just dumb luck. Parking on the street is free after 5pm.

My wife and I visited this bar because she used to go to college in Buffalo and lived on Elmwood. We were slightly unprepared for how out of place two 40-year-olds felt. Don't get me wrong, we're both young at heart, but we are fooling ourselves.

If you're looking to relive your college days, this is the perfect bar for you. However, if you're seeking a more relaxed environment, I would recommend finding another bar. The clientele is mostly college-aged folks looking to have a good time and potentially find love. My wife and I couldn't help but feel very old and laughed at how out of place we were. I'm not saying you can't have fun there. I'm just saying that a dark, loud college bar filled with 20-somethings is no longer appealing to us.

While I do suggest going somewhere else if you're not into the college scene, the drinks were cheap and no one really cared that we were there. But hey, if you're 20 years older and looking for a good spot to meet up with friends and enjoy some cheap drinks, this bar might be for you. And if you want something even more happening, the place next door seemed to be the hot spot of the night.

My experience was best and I loved it

Excellent food and service, except for when people smoke cigarettes nearby, you can definitely inhale some of that.
