Didn't have food but what I needed was beer, football and billiards, and bathrooms...in that order! I got it all here! Great dive bar, nice neighborhood feel. Great staff!

New to East Village, decided to check out the Bills Bar, showed up at the two minute warning, by 1:10 on the clock I was singled out as new and was rudely told "you need to order something", I'll go elsewhere if that's the attitude, I was legitimately just getting my bearings. In the countless bars I've been to, I've never been pressured like that, let alone with in the first five minutes of arriving. I understand it's a business, even on nights I don't drink I'll order sodas or lemonades etc., but give customers a chance to settle in, I was going to check out the offerings at half time but now I'll go elsewhere.

Bar service was fine so not the other workers or servers fault but the guy that only sat at the bar in charge of the music should be fired. He verbally insulted multiple people throughout the night. It’s unfortunate that one poorly functioning worker makes an entire bar experience bad. Truly the least important/competent person on a power trip.

No air conditioning
Expensive drinks
Bar tender with a nasty attitude
Terrible music
What else do you look for in a night out?

A sad place where people who are unhappy with their lives work and take it out on their clients.

In area, did a quick Google search and they came up.... so I went for lunch not knowing this pub does not serve any food...... My mistake but it was not clear online -- So, for others -- NO FOOD GUYS ! HAHA
Beer was ice cold from tap and I enjoyed it but honestly won't come back due to no food served (especially during lunch)

The guys were awesome and it’s definitely your local pub. Met some people there who go every weekend to play pool and darts, and love it. However, you must know, it is not a place to go with a bougie or pretentious person.

I received a funky bud light and when I informed the bar tender he insisted that it was fine and I should drink it anyway. When I decided to not drink the beer he told me “you’re paying for it anyway”. He was extremely rude and antagonistic towards his customer. I gave 1 star but would give zero stars if possible. May god have mercy on his soul.

My hang out a long time ago. Still love this place, def bummed that it turned into a hang out for people that could care less about hockey though. Go sabres!
