I’m so glad I stumbled upon Duende during a quick trip to Buffalo. Tucked away in an industrial stretch where you’d never expect to find such a lively bar scene, it turned out to be a real gem. Gabriel, the bartender, was incredibly warm and attentive, and the mix of locals and live musicians gave the place a cozy, lived‑in charm. The food was genuinely good, too. A wonderful surprise all around.

Amazing hidden gem, live music, food, tons of seating, summer in the back yard is the best!

I was in Buffalo for just a few days, but after talking to the locals - they highly recommended checking out Duende… and I’m so happy they did! The aesthetic is beautiful, patrons all so friendly (as was everyone I met in Buffalo), and I had the privilege of having Duende’s very first order to buffalo wings the day they introduced their fried foods menu! Everything from the drinks, food, atmosphere, and people were amazing. If you’re ever in the area, you gotta visit this spot!

This place is awesome! I enjoyed a few craft beers with live music and the setting sun casting its glow on the surrounding grain silos. Duende was one of my favorite stops during my four-day trip to Buffalo.
1st time was Sunday afternoon, silo nachos, and chicken tenders, the silo nachos knocked it out of the park, chicken was good. They have guiness nuff said, the bartender was very friendly and gave us some of the history, also had a lengthy conversation with the owners son who seemed to be really into the who silo city . Great place , we loved the reuse of an admin building. Yesterday was our first visit it will definitely not be our last. Great place Great atmosphere, keep it going.

Outdoor and indoor seating available at this off the grid live music venue and pub.
Set at the end of Silo City, you may find it a bit difficult to drive to. The whole area is being revamped so things are changing daily.
This bar and restaurant is actually really cool. I didn't get to see any live music or shows while I was there, but they are certainly set up to do so. Looks bit alternative to soft punk. They have a notice board with fliers of upcoming events.
Full bar with extensive beer list. Food menu is available but I just had a pint and left. Above average prices but they are still fairly new and growing.

Service was efficient. Nice list of cocktails. Basic food menu. Everything was good. We were along the outer area at a picnic table. Mosquitoes were horrible and two people came home with ticks

DON’T ORDER THE CHICKEN NUGGETS, they are like a frozen kids meal from a lunchable. Everything else was amazing, atmosphere, music, staff. I had a great time but I’m actually laughing at how bad the meal was.
