30 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“

“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.“

“my once-estranged son told me the essex pub was a good place to get coke so i went to check it out but when i ordered some at the bar the bar tender told me they only have pepsi products which was fine i guess but it just did'nt hit the spot so i got the pbr instead and things got a littel better

Wheelchair accessibility: it is wheel chair acceptable for those of you with strong and dettermined friends“

“decided to try this place one afternoon for a late lunch... new favourite place in buffalo I think! been here a few times since, gets busy at the usual times but certainly worth the wait. owner and staff are a real treat :-)

Kid-friendliness: this is a bar, please don't bring your kids...“

“I love it their great company, great bartenders, great people, great food, fun times“

“My brother was there every day and loved it while he was in town. I joined him a couple of times and enjoyed it myself. Also, it was nice to have a band there too outside on a nice day. I rarely see the owner, but I know she's such a sweetheart. I still owe her Mac salad. I gotta bring it in one of these days. I used to go there all the time daily back in the day. But I have to tell you it's better than it ever was!!! Might go more often as it was really nice !! Sue and brother john..“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“love the people that run this tavern. food is great , great friendly people, clean“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Awesome food! Great service LOVE it here!“

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

“This place was in my hotel, Millennium, and it was a great experience!!! The food was actually tremendous. I had a drink, a shrimp cocktail, a couple of wines and the chicken parm. Everything was great!! My server, Hallie McKinnie, was absolutely the best and nicest server I can ever remember!!! Food, ambiance, service were again, top notch!!! This was better than a lot of restaurants I have eaten at. the shrimp cocktail was the best also!!!! Very cool place. they could up their wine list but that's not a big thing here in Buffalo...... IT was very good!!“

“The wings are top tier. No Question. However, they charge for a glass of water (not a bottle). the server never checked on us either. I still give it a recommendation though. The wings are that good“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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..“

“The bartender Taylor is amazing!! Highly recommend this place because of her!“

“Lmao the replies are great, I enjoyed this club though, chill vibe, entry cost is up there but it was worth it. I reccomend. Unlike a certain club right near this one, you don't gotta worry about getting tripped or shoved every 2 feet.“
