26 Best Pubs in Buffalo

“Went there for st. Patrick’s day. Couldn’t be more pleased. We had a reservation and got seated immediately. Service was fast and friendly and the food was out of this world. I think I’d sell my soul for more sticky toffee pudding. If you want an idea of their service I watched a man straight up slap a glass of beer out of the waitresses hands (he was a hand talker and it was an accident) and into the wall. She was super kind about it and someone (a manger or owner) came over and immediately changed out everything and cleaned everything up while the server got a new beer. Everyone was kind and quick about it and had I not happened to catch it out of the corner of my eye. they were so discrete Idt I would have. As a table we tried the Sheppards fries, the corned beef and cabbage, corned beef sandwich and sticky toffee pudding and all were incredible. Definitely will be back!“

“It is a fun place to have are Christmas party there I can’t wait“

“If your friends or family recommend you to visit Duffs or Anchor Bar in Buffalo please make sure you visit Michael at Founding Fathers. It deserves to be in the top spots to visit in Buffalo. This is one of the best pub experiences in the entire US I have been. Michael is so knowledgeable in trivia and just a great character. The pub is filled with memorabilia of US presidents thru out the bar. This would be a place Anthony Bourdain would be proud to visit...Yeah I went their..“

“The food is amazing, I could eat their chicken finger sub every day! Their wings are fantastic, and fish fry too! Bartenders are super friendly and the atmosphere is the definition of community. 👍❤️🦬💙“

“Food was great! Beef on weck, chicken wings, steak sandwich were all perfectly cooked and tasted great. Service was so unsatisfactory and the waitress truly gave a lackluster effort. I will gladly go to this place again as long as I get a different server.“

“I’ve lived down the street for a couple years and was pleasantly surprised to have such a great bar nearby. The food is excellent and when I don’t want to eat one of their delicious burgers or the Yard Bird (so yum!), they have very tasty vegetarian options. The Vegan club is so so yummy. The owner is awesome. The staff is awesome. Seafood Dan and his karaoke DJ skills are awesome. The regulars are chill and great conversationalists. There is regularly a game of cribbage happening. The interior is aesthetically pleasing with fun stuff to look at. What can I say? I love this place.“

“Came here on a wing night (75 cents per wing - with a minimum of 10 wings). Happily ordered the butter parmesan and although they had a nice selection of sauces, they were kind enough to make the honey barbecue sauce even though it wasn’t a selection. The blue cheese is house made and it’s DIVINE! We dipped our fries in it and were pleasantly happy. We also ordered the caesar salad and again, blown away by the freshness and taste. You won’t be disappointed, NYC native approved.“

“Great little place. They have a lot of little events.“

“Oh my gosh, so we went out to dinner this evening after going to the movies. We went to Winfield Pub in South Buffalo. All I can say is WOW. My husband saw that it had a 4.7 star rating and we'd never been there. From start to finish it was a wonderful experience. They have several different beers to offer and even some seasonal ones. Their drink menu is extensive but not daunting and their drinks are super creative. For our starters we got the hop fries with a garlic parmesan aioli which regulars call "crack sauce" I can see why....it's SO good! My husband got the Snout and Stout which is their take on french onion soup but with a pork broth and milk stout added to it with pieces of pork in it. We both tried it and that too was truly delicious it was a great spin on a classic dish. For our entrees my husband got the ribeye and I got the bbq mac and cheese. My husband loved his ribeye it was cooked perfectly and the sides were amazing. My mac and cheese was probably one of the best mac and cheeses I've ever had. They added burnt pork ends and blue cheese to it and it adds such a depth of flavor and richness this comfort food feels so fancy. I enjoyed it thoroughly. For dessert we shared a piece of their Guinness cake. Again, it was rich and delicious the frosting wasn't overly sweet. We brought a little bit of everything home and are looking forward to eating the rest of it tomorrow. Our server was absolutely lovely and so kind and funny. The chef at this restaurant is so creative and thoughtful with every aspect of the experience right down to bringing us the bill in a Christmas Card. This place is 5 stars!“

“I came here one time and I had a blast with a few friends!! Definitely a good vibe!“

“One of the best bars in town! Great food, atmosphere, and the owner is a 90s ATL Braves fan that would give this place 6 stars if it were an option. A "Must Visit" bar in the downtown area of Chippewa St.“

“love the owner Angel, great/quick service, good vibes, great music and outstanding chicken wings.. HIGHLY recommend ❤️🎉“

“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!“

“LOVE this place and certainly a destination location and very welcome addition to the Parkside neighborhood. Everything about this restaurant is to be admired… including 2 wonderful owners.“

“The food here is tremendous (wings are on par with Bar-Bill and they have a great fish fry), but one word of caution - do not expect to be able to order meat on Friday’s during Lent. Long time regulars are probably well aware of this policy but we were caught a bit off guard. Given that they were absolutely packed with people ordering the fish fry, it makes a lot of sense, just something to be aware of.“

“Awesome food! Great service LOVE it here!“

“I think it’s fine the way it is. I especially like that I can get a fish fry any day It’s very good to0. If there were one thing I would change is the parking situation. That’s it“

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

“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.“

“like everything about the place. food,drinks,bartenders“

“Service is impeccable, still great food with the torch being passed down, always friendly service, love the atmosphere.“

“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..“

“Great restaurant-good food, good drinks, good vibe and good people!“

“The best day to spend to be alive and amongst other like minded individuals! Happy birthday to Brother Luke and also sister Amanda deserves a shout out! I love you all so very much! Sister Marie was a true delight to make anyone’s day better, especially if you are having a rotten day. God sincerely bless her kind and motherly soul. Do join her company over every Friday for she is a lovely bartender with such warmth and tenderness towards her locals,especially new people.“

“It's a quintessential dive bar. Not a big selection of hard liquor or beers but the essentials are there. The food menu wasn't too big either. Sadly they are a CASH ONLY place but the bartenders are great and on the ball with everything.“

“Ordered the Cajun chicken finger dinner and it was everything I look for in a proper chicken finger order. The French fries are also amazing, hearty and perfectly done. I will be hitting this up regularly, I guarantee that!“
