25 Best Pubs in Buffalo

“The Bic has great food ! I take irish dancing lessons with the rince na tiarna adults and love it! I get great exercise, listen to fun music and dance with friends.“

“I may be biased after coming to this place for the last 30 something years, but there is a special vibe at The Pub that will always feel like home when you walk in. Between the original juke box loaded with the best of my memories from the 90's, to the pool table and the well poured drinks, I will forever recommend a down and dirty pop in to Essex St. Pub. And there's purse hooks under the bar! Who doesn't love a good hook to hang your bag on while you're bellied up to the bar?“

“This is a highly recommended tucked away local pub. In which is a true Buffalo staple with a history packed interior with great food and drinks. And most definitely you will be walking out of there after learning a thing or two about American history! Also the owner is very friendly, and he is usually there as well giving trivia questions!“

“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.“

“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. 👍❤️🦬💙“

“Enjoyed our visit to this old time neighborhood pub on Wing Wednesday. We had a short wait at the bar for a table of 5 and added a chair for an unexpected 6th. So many options for wings! All the sauces were flavorable. Our server made us feel right at home even though we had never been there before. You could tell this place has alot of regulars. Bartender We was friendly. We will definitely return“

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

“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!“

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

“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 ❤️🎉“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Everytime I go here the food, drinks and atmosphere are amazing. I figured I’d take the time to finally make a review because last night we had such an awesome interaction with staff. There was a slight miscommunication that led to a delay in food. We were having so much fun that we didn’t even notice, but the staff were apologetic and kind in getting it to us.

Awesome people at an awesome spot!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“The Best Wings hands down in the 716!!🔥🍗 👌“

“Awesome food! Great service LOVE it here!“

“Scott was out bartender, and server the few nights we were in town. And Scott was the absolute best. The first night we were in town the hotel was packed with a hockey tournament and everyone coming in early for the last bills game. The hotel staff didn't think to staff the bar/restaurant with more than him and a cook for the night. So getting our food and his time was quite an ordeal. Two and a half hours for food from start to finish.
That being said Scott stopped by, apologized, talked with us, understood our frustration, we understood his, and we could not blame him. He made being there enjoyable for anyone that entered. A man who took a job that could make many angry for a lot of other people serious and really made sure you were taken care.“

“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 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.“

“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!“

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