50 Best Bar & Grill near Lackawanna

“Was here celebrating my God sister in Christ 70th birthday. So grateful to witness and hear all the wonderful stories about her childhood.

Vegetarian options: There weren't a lot of options for veggie eaters, but that could be because of the menu selected. That what I could eat was good.“

“Always a vibe here !! Brunch is good ! Been a few times our servers are always amazing ! Great margaritas and mimosas !! Went earlier had Olivia as our server and she was very nice and attentive !“

“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.“

“Just the coolest place with the coolest vibe and the coolest humans. That's all“

“Lunch twice a week and never had a bad dish. Best damn steak sandwich is a must!!! Oh, by the way Kim is the best...hands down.“

“Great place, live music, friendly fun staff, owners rock, the food is awesome, burgers, homemade fingers, BBQ bacon wrapped pizza logs and more... its such a great place to check out a band w friends. outdoor patio also“

“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!“

“The entire dining experience was incredible! We definitely found our new favorite restaurant!“

“Excellent Cajun wings and good service!!!“

“great food, great service and friendly atmosphere.“

“Great ‘hole in the wall type of atmosphere’. Lookin to catch the local Bills/Sabres game and grab some bar food, this is a good place to do it. It’s small so not much room, and only if you want to watch the local games. If you are in the mood for ‘not your typical wing’ because they are breaded it is a nice alternative. Their homemade pizza logs are big and delicious!!The bartender is always attentive and friendly, too!! (Same woman every time I went. Sorry, don’t know the name 😕)“

“I alway enjoy whatever cocktail I get from Ballyhoo, and my last visit there was no different. One of the best bars in town in my opinion with very reasonably priced drinks and excellent customer service. Not a very large bar space, but definitely worth checking out. They do serve a limited food menu as well, but I have not tried any yet.“

“Great food and drinks. Friendly staff. Good location. wonderful spot to meet friends!“

“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.“

“Always an Awesome time at Checkers! JP. ;) - ✌ 💚 🎶 - Jammin Jesse 🎶“

“Went there before a play for dinner at Shea's Buffalo. This place is on the Chippewa bar strip, so we were not expecting much. Walking inside, it looks like a typical party/cocktail bar, brick walls, long bar, and tables opposite the bar with plastic chairs and Formica tables, so you are sitting in the bar. At 5:30PM on restaurant week before a nearby playing of Hamilton, we were the only diner's there (and only 4 others at the bar). Now the good part.... one of the best meals I have had in a long time!!!!! Waitress/bartender was prompt, attentive and friendly. The special for restaurant week that we had was $35 for soup/salad (I had soup), Duck with asparagus, yams, sprouts and and pie for dessert. This meal was fabulous! Perfect portion and perfect flavor. The caramel/peanut butter pie was luscious! On top of all this, we were there during happy hour, so $3 a beer. I highly recommend trying this place to eat, just don't expect a cozy, intimate atmosphere. You won't be disappoints, and you won't be broke.“

“Wings are fantastic! Owners and workers are even better! Love my wings cooked all the way and sauces/crispy. Best wings I’ve ever had!! :)“

“lol this place isn’t “allen st bar & grill” or whatever, it’s The Pink. and i’ve heard their food is great (never eaten there because i’m a vegetarian). but one time when i was there i asked if there was any vegetarian food & the bartender served me some pickles, which was great. and drinks are cheap. great place to end a fun buffalo night. also if you’re a femme, you’ll make temporary best friends in the women’s bathroom every time. can you even say you’re a buffalonian if you haven’t been to The Pink? no. the answer is no.“

“my 53 bday party on the 6th of this month thanks to them it was perfect their food the atmosphere the bartenders The waitresses the cooks the owners they're all amazing people sweet a nice homey place to have food hang out enjoy people play pool sing darts anything they're all amazing“

“First time in the area for a Bills game- From Toronto, Ontario..was trying to find a place that was open for some food for after the game. Stumbled upon Kettles. We called from the car asking if we could do an order for pick up. They initially said they usually don’t do that on game nights and prefer people to dine-in. We mentioned that we were driving back to Toronto that night- agreed to make the wings and could pick them up in 20minutes.Did not realize they were a cash only and explained that I didn’t know if my bank card would work in their atm being from Canada- the lady that I was dealing with offered that I could venmo her the amount (Canada doesn’t have venmo) ATM worked. Wings were paid for. Service was great. Staff was very friendly. Wings were AMAZING. Will be a for sure stop every time I’m back on American soil.“

“12/10 wings and 12/10 service. The bartender and cook were extremely friendly. They treated us out of towners like some locals.. and seems like some can’t handle that based on their reviews. If you’re on the hunt for some true buffalo wings, this is a great spot to try!

I found out about this place via a Reddit post. And they nailed it. Very local, very dive bar atmosphere and that’s exactly what we wanted. If you have thin skin like I’ve seen in another review go elsewhere. But if you want some true authentic wings in Buffalo, go here. The wings themselves were awesome. Traditional wings with sauce. I did go with their house made hot sauce which was great. Not too spicy but full of flavor. Not a buffalo sauce, it’s their own thing.

I also saw another review complaining about the beef on weck. It must have been their first one because Kelly’s was perfectly cooked and prepared.

Definitely recommend!“

“This is a small corner bar. The bartenders stay on top of your drinks! They have pool tables, darts & a jukebox. They sometimes have live bands or a dj. They do serve food as well. I recommend the cheeseburgers & frys! If your in the area check it out!“

“Got stranded at Christmas 2022. This hotel staff is absolutely amazing!! Very accommodating, super helpful. Other hotels are running out of food and these guys are making breakfast and a dinner for everyone. It’s truly an amazing crew. They are stranded with us and dealing with all the stress yet have a smile on their face!! A can not recommend this place enough, just because of the staff. Merry Christmas and thank you so very very much!!!“

“Just ate there today. Delicious homemade salads, nice size fish (offered breaded or battered), great fries and some rye bread and butter to boot!Nice, clean eating area with a friendly waitress Becky! So nice and attentive!You will make this your regular Friday night fish fry. I see they do to go orders as well!“

“Stopped for beverages and wings and they did not disappoint!!! We will definitely be back!!!!!“

“Can’t go wrong people are nice , all ages“

“Very disappointed in the duck soup. I have been eating it for years and the last batch I purchased at the Polish Festival had carrots in it!! Too thick and gray.Must be someone new making it. When I asked about the carrots, they said they've been doing it like that for years. Huh?!“

“The Runaround is a great place to go to enjoy a delicious meal in a warm, inviting atmosphere. Anne is a terrific hostess & an excellent cook as well. They also have live muzic on select dayz. Dealerz Choice Duo luv to play & eat at The Runaround. Alwayz a great time!“

“The bartenders Sheri was amazing! Made everything so fun and made me the greatest Ham club sub around, normally don’t eat at little bars like this but she changed my mind about little pubs . She made the atmosphere so light and fun. First time there and it was so welcoming. Make sure you go in when she’s there . You won’t be disappointed.“

“Great fish fry with plenty of fish fries to go around and enjoy“

“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..“
