This is a cute spot with great food and drinks! I felt uncool at times while I was there but that's just me getting in my own head. I think my server's name was Maddie, but I don't remember(sorry!!), but she was awesome and helped me with recommendations on the menu, as well as things to do in the area. I went during Sunday brunch. I got an aperol spritz (first time trying it, and very yummy!) and a coffee to drink. For food, I got half a dozen oysters, which were very fresh, served on a bed of salt, a wedge of lemon, and a delicious mingionette. I also got the Turkish eggs per my server's recommendation, which were gorgeous. If you're looking to try their omlette, when I went, they didn't have it on the menu anymore. read more

Great drinks, but the service is terrible. It was my second time here, and the staff has a major attitude problem. After ordering five cocktails, we asked for a single glass of water and the bartender actually swore under their breath. Save your money, don't tip, and leave. Haven't eaten the food here. read more

Every time. 100%. When you need to feel like a million bucks but only spend $200, this is it. Excellent service. Tyler was fun, knowledgeable, and really hospitable. The som came over to talk about our wine choice. Love this place. One day we will come and just get the burger but we always get too many small plates and cant pass up the fish dish. Speaking of--the crudo--we almost ordered a 2nd for dessert. It was that good. read more

I've been in for cocktails & small bites on few occasions (with a very attentive & knowledgable bar staff), but finally had a proper meal. The Half Roast Duck with sliced breast & confit leg was heavenly. The Braised Short Rib with Polenta was melt in your mouth. The apps were all delicious too. Tyler provided the perfect level of service. Very enjoyable little place with chill atmosphere. read more

I pegged Billy Club as a likely suspect to be a place where I could cozy up to the bar and order a paper plane. I was right and the cocktail was lovely. The bartenders were experienced and didn't even flinch when I ordered my fancy cocktail. I had some this at the bar and it was all very enjoyable. Recommend! read more

Absolute best meal I had in Buffalo! this is a must have if you are looking for an elevated delicious carefully curated experience. Super cute restaurant located in the Allentown neighborhood. They have bar seating (no tvs - not that kind of place) and table seating available. Very intimate and cozy. Our server Eric was fantastic and provided the best recommendations. We started off with the potatoes, the cabbage and the crudo. The cabbage with garlic and chili crisp is so unique and delicious. A must have! For meals we had the steak and the swordfish- just as Eric recommended the fish was excellent quality and the onion cilantro sauce was the perfect pairing. Ended the meal with a delicious espresso martinis and one of their gin cocktails. For dessert we did the panna cotta and the ginger cake. Did not care too much for the cake. read more

This place was phenomenal. Smaller, quiet & recommend a reservation due to its popularity. The atmosphere was perfect - not too loud, not too quiet. Eric, an owner, was phenomenal. Extremely knowledgeable about the menu, including exceptional wine recommendations. This level of service was so great, there's almost no words to properly describe the experience. On top of that, the cocktails & food were fabulous. Will be returning! read more

My husband and I made a reservation at Billy Club to celebrate a very important milestone. I recently passed a challenging exam that I had been working toward for five years. It was a significant accomplishment for me, and we were looking forward to a special evening. Unfortunately, we arrived about 10 minutes late to our 5:15 reservation due to an accident on the thruway. When I called, I was told we would need to leave by 6:45 because the table was booked ... Once we arrived since we were on an "time limit" the hostess suggested sitting at the bar?? I declined and we were seated, we were reminded four separate times that we were on a time limit. It made the experience feel rushed and uncomfortable. Instead of enjoying our celebration, I felt pressured the entire time. At one point, I asked whether other tables were also on similar time constraints, as the couple seated next to us appeared to be dining at a relaxed pace without being reminded of a deadline. I was told, "We're just busy." That response didn't address my concern and made the situation feel inconsistent. What was meant to be a meaningful and celebratory evening ended up feeling stressful and disappointing. This was an important milestone for me, and the repeated reminders significantly impacted our experience. Because of this, I will not plan to return and have already shared my experience with others. Also my $42 Steak Frites was cold. read more

What a nice evening l! My wife and I headed to Billy Club for an early dinner on a classic gorgeous Buffalo summer day. Known for outstanding cocktails, our bartender Adrien made a memorable rum,coconut, and other unique flavors that was a masterpiece. We had the cheese plate app (, very good -we had too lay off or no room for dinner) I had the burger-hand made and really delicious. The toppings on it spot on. Any ordered the steak - just right at medium rare. Service was excellent. We will be back. Great job BC! read more

Great NYC-like restaurant that knows what they are doing both food and drink-wise. We had the Rohan Duck Breast and the Scallops. Both amazing and perfectly prepared. For drinks we had a glass of the orange wine, a paired red for the duck, and two cocktails whose names escape me. Everything was great, and our server was like a walking encyclopedia of wine knowledge. A special place for an intimate dinner. read more

What a welcoming, intimate restaurant in Allentown with fantastic food and drinks. Our sommelier was full of recs for food and drink, which I always appreciate from a restaurant with an ever rotating menu. We started with cocktails - mine had a hint of chocolate which I was skeptical about but turned out to be great. We shared a crudo dish which was a perfectly small and tasty starter. My husband enjoyed steak frites and I had a chicken dish with perfectly grilled chicken breast and house made chicken sausage. We finished with some crème fraiche ice cream, and left full and happy. I wouldn't hesitate to come back to try more things, especially when their menu rotates! read more

One of my faves in Buffalo! Their cocktails are always really well made and their service is attentive without being overbearing. I recently tried their octopus - so good! Perfect cook - just crispy on the edges and a little bit spicy. I devoured this. Their burger is also good, but I liked their other mains more. read more

All food and drinks are excellent. Service is fine and ambience is fine especially when there is a singer.

Great little spot on Allen for a cocktail. The drinks are to die for. The inside is beautiful designed- a nice clean space. Bartenders are helpful and friendly and make great drinks. Looking forward to trying their food menu next! read more

I didn't like the vibes at all. Super snobby judgmental people. The food was okay. I was the only black woman there and was just getting a lot of stares. I'm used to that, but it was at an unhealthy level. I may try again because it's local, but not worth all the attitude for the place there's way nicer places in Buffalo in my opinion read more

Brunch at Billy Club. Put that on your places to go list. My boyfriend brought me here and we sat at the bar on a Sunday. I had a bloody Mary, which was great. The bartender, Adam, was extremely friendly and helpful. I went with the short rib hash minus the gravy. It was delicious and I very much enjoyed it. I highly recommend this dish. Phil ordered the biscuits and gravy and liked his selection. This is a bar where if you stick around too long at brunch, you might find yourself there until closing time. Beware! Everything is good. There are also hooks under the bar, which I always appreciate and is a nice touch. read more

There's a clear winner for best burger in Buffalo, and it lives on Billy Club's menu. I've wanted to come here for so long and finally got the chance to stop in with my mom this weekend. The service was phenomenal -- from the host to the bartenders to our server, everyone treated us so kindly. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so I highly recommend making a reservation. I didn't order a drink this time, but their cocktail menu boasted some tasty-sounding options. They have a sizeable wine list and some canned offerings as well. My mom and I both ordered a burger as we've heard nothing but good things. I can confirm, all those good things are true. The burger comes with caramelized onions and the meltiest of cheese, all on top of a perfectly cooked patty. The fries on the side were delicious as well. I'd come here again a million times just for this burger. Billy Club offers brunch as well, which also looks to be really delicious. I don't think you could go wrong no matter what meal you come here for. What's most important is that you just get here and try it for yourself. read more

Billy Club is our go to restaurant for special celebrations and date nights. The cozy atmosphere provides eclectic cocktails and apps, followed by a star studded line up of entrees. The hostess & waiters all love their job! The manner in which they describe each item and their attention to detail while you dine, always exceeds expectations. 5 stars! violet ciotti rashad read more

Small club size about 35-40 customers can fit it , wonderful atmosphere, their drinks are OK, not a fame of mix drinks , but friends try almost everything on the menu they love it . The dinner menus are OK, personally I will not go there for dinner, simply the selections are small, not much of variety , and it is pricey in my opinion. However their bread is phenomenal. read more

I came here recently on a Wednesday night with one little purpose: dessert! It was around 9:30pm and I was glad to see Billy Club was still open (kitchen closes until 10) and had 3 delicious desserts available. The place is beautiful: gorgeous interior, cool exposed light bulbs hanging on eight knots of rope (which was actually pretty cool because I was coming from rock climbing, so the light fixtures were a fitting continuation of the night). It gives the place a cool, sexy feel. The dessert was excellent and our server was hospitable. Despite not getting any drinks, there was no pressure to buy anything except a nice dessert. I'd love to come back and try the food next time! read more

Valentines brunch, with good service and attentive staff, despite the holiday. Everyone was super friendly and eager to serve. While the menu is limited, everything was extremely tasty. Enjoyed a Bloody Mary, cheese tray, and cheeseburger. While the items are fairly routine, all the food was fantastic! Cheese tray was locally sourced, the burger was the juiciest burger I have had in ages, and the staff was so helpful and attentive, without being in-your-face needy. Bloody Mary was decent, not noteworthy. Would recommend the restaurant add salt/pepper containers at the table. Pouring salt from a tiny bowl, or pinching it with my fingers were neither wonderful options. While portions seem small, we felt comfortable with the meal when we left. Would definitely come back. Highly recommend. read more

I came to Billy club because I'm pretty sure they're one of the only place in buffalo that has oysters for brunch. (More places should.) The omelette was really good but the kale salad was way too lemony and the steak was over cooked. I would definitely like to come back to try their cocktails. Their service was really good too. I loved the atmosphere. I will be coming back! read more

I was looking for a cocktail bar in Buffalo, and am glad to say Yelp did not disappoint! I was able to try the Color Me Kubrick, Cruel Intentions, and Pork Belly. Color Me Kubrick - A combination of gin, lemon, chili oil, egg white, and basil. It sounds strange, sure, but don't let that stop you, as this is an interesting and tasty cocktail. the basil and spice (from chili oil) really add an interesting dimension to it. This cocktail is bursting with flavor, and is designed to be savored! Cruel Intentions is more for people who don't like cocktails that are as much in your face. It was comprised of pineapple infused tequila, lime, cherry, bitters, and soda. The flavors were a lot more mild, and the soda water gave it a little bite on the tongue while pineapple infused vodka carried just a bit of sweetness. This cocktail is more refreshing, than complex. Pork Belly was great! It was cooked perfectly, hot, very tender, and very flavorful! I enjoyed the sauces it came with, with one being milder, and the other much more acidic. I wouldn't eat spoons of them on their own, but they did go marvelously with the pork belly. Also, what a terrific idea to elevate it using tomato, so the sauces don't permeate it before you've had a chance to taste! Overall, I'd call the whole experience elevated. Drinks, service, food, all elevated from a run of the mill place. It will definitely be on my list to return to when I am back in Buffalo. read more

Excellent all around. We are visiting from out of town and happened to be staying a 10min walk from here and thought to try it out. Such wonderful food - we loved the cheese board, acorn squash salad, the tagliatelle and the branzino fish. The cocktails were excellent as well. But above all - our service was spectacular. Our server, who I did not catch the name of but had very cool round glasses, recommended us great options all around. He was super professional and friendly. And best of all he gave us a written list of places to check out which so far have been 3/3 hits. These folks know great food. read more

This past Friday was my first time at Billy Club. I was excited to try it along with a few friends. We started off with some drinks and a few appetizers to share including the octopus, salad and cheese board. I was pleasantly surprised with the taste of all the dishes, although the portions were tiny and not really enough to share. For the entree I went with the duck and my husband got the fettuccine. The duck was well flavored with a rice dish alongside it. The meat was a little tough and thick. It may have been easier to eat if the duck were thinly sliced. For dessert we all shared the panna cotta and flourless cheese cake. Our server generously gave us the pecan cake on the house! All of the desserts were as equally well done. I will add the service was top notch. I just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price tag. read more

Instead is classic and swanky- excellent service!! More alcohol options then food for brunch. However, don't get me wrong the food is EXCELLENT! This is what we got: Bloody Mary - spicy John Stamos - not sweet (I should have stuck with the Mimosa) Pancakes with a side of bacon Steak and eggs Best pancakes ever with REAL maple syrup! BEST steak and eggs hands down! So why 4 stars? I did not care for the surrounding area. Broken glass, garbage on sidewalks etc. clearly the night time scene is very popular so you see the dirt the next morning. I would still go back! read more

We walked here our first night in our Allentown Airbnb for drinks and we stayed for dinner. We had no idea we had found the gem of the neighborhood on our first night. The decor is light and bright. We were lucky enough to get a seat at the bar. We had the best bar tender. When my hubby asked him about two drinks he actually described the drink in detail and it made sense. He went with the Berry Bostwick which was lillet, strawberry, lemon, and tonic. I picked the Don't Say That concocted of rye, cinnamon, lemon, egg green white, radler, and bitters. They were both delicious and perfectly balanced. Not only were the servers friendly but the patrons who all seemed to be regulars were also kind. We chose the octopus for one of our dishes as we haven't had it in a while and we not disappointed. It was cooked perfectly so it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Then we also picked the gnocchi with mushrooms. It was phenomenal. The gnocchi melted in your mouth. Our second drinks were an old fashioned for my hubby and then I picked the Parts Unknown because it reminded me of our favorite, Anthony Bourdain, and it is based with Tommyrotter Bourbon. Then they added Wild Turkey 101, grapefruit vermouth, and aperitif butters. It was fantastic. We will for sure be back to this place when we return to Buffalo! read more

Clubs are an Organization that dedicates itself to a particular interest or Activity. Nightclubs are for nighttime entertainment also for Drinking, Music & Dancing. But when you come to Billy Club you'll be experiencing a Meal like any other. When I first heard of Billy Club I thought it meant those Wooden Clubs with handle bars that Police would use to beat and subdue Criminals back in the 50's. Turns out the Building that its in was formerly a Dinner Club called the Whitehorse Dining Club back in the Day. This was one of those Restaurants that was calling me to come and try. But the thing was we decided to come here in middle of the COVID Pandemic. Even my Dad & Brother were worried about me and especially Grandma catching it but we told them we'd be safe and Proceeded with Caution. Matter of fact we decided to eat outside right by the Window with less risk of catching it. It was a lovely evening, right Away one of the workers (Eric) came out and greeted us. Told us a couple Specials but we knew what we wanted to do, it was a Small Menu, only 14 Dishes (8 Appetizers and 6 Entrees). So we ordered half of the Menu and split it between the 3 of us. We first started off with a Roasted Beet Salad that were mixed with Coconut/Fennel Puree, also topped with Housemade Granola, Kohlrabi, Charred Grapefruit & Fresh Dill. One of the most cleanest tasting Salads that I've eaten, Earthy Beets, Mild Kohlrabi, Puree that was silky Smooth and Sweet, Granola gave it some Bite, Grapefruit provided Acid and the Dill had hints of Anise. For our Drinks Grandma got a Daiquiri with Bacardi Rum (that's been aged for 8 Years) along with Fresh Honey & Lime, Rick got the Cruel Intentions consisting of Pineapple infused Tequila, Lime, Cherry, Bitters & Soda. I got the Color Me Kubrick (inspired by the 2005 Movie and Director Stanley Kubrick) consisting of Gin, Lemon, Basil, Smoked Chili Oil & Egg White. While the drink had some good Strong Flavors I was expecting that Hit of Heat at the End and it faded out, but I loved the Froth of the Whites. We also Shared Warm Homemade Focaccia with Whipped Butter & Olive Oil mixed with Balsamic Vinegar. Mesclun Salad that was tossed in a Butttermilk Vinaigrette with Bacon Lardons, Smoked Mushrooms, Shallots & Hazelnuts. Usually I thought the Buttermilk was gonna be strong but it wasn't, nicely dressed too, Hazelnuts gave it some Crunch, Mushrooms & Shallots were Smoky. Rick and I also got the Halibut Ceviche (marinated in Citrus Juice) with Radish, Fennel, Jalapeno & Piquillo Pepper Puree. This was a nice way to cleanse my Palate, Fish was Clean, the Raw Vegetables gave it that Refreshing Bite, the Jalapeno was Strong and the Puree was hidden at the Bottom but it Mild flavor made itself Present. For our Entrees, Grandma got the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake (breaded in Panko) with with Mole Verde (sauce made from Tomatillos & Poblano Peppers) & Avocado Puree. Cut off a piece and you get that Sweet Flavor of Crustacean, the Verde Sauce you add packs a Firework Punch, the Slaw help take off some of the Heat and the Puree was light & Creamy. Rick got their Fish of the Day, Whole Trout over Rice with Ginger, Scallion, Garlic Scapes & Sesame Oil. The fish looked like it went from the Ocean, to a Frying Pan and onto my Uncle's Plate, he was kind enough to let me eat the Head (especially the Eyeballs). I got one of their Signatures, Duck Breast (that was aged for a Week) with Fried Cornmeal Cake, Roasted Mushrooms, Roasted Cranberries, Cranberry Gastrique & Fried Sage. Your thinking to yourself (why would I pay $34 for 2 Slices of Duck), I thought it was worth it with their Preparation & Technique, Duck was Juicy, Fat was Rendered, Skin was Crispy, lil Cakes were still Crispy & Light, the Cranberries popped like Sweet & Sour Candy. Personally I thought the portion was spot on as it was Rich, don't want too much of a good Thing. This was a pure taste of a Fall Dish in the Summertime that I cherished greatly. For Desserts I just wasn't feeling it, so I just ordered yet another Color Me Kubrick Cocktail. We thanked Eric for the Food & Hospitality and we were well on our Way, we enjoyed ourselves and went home unscathed. Going forward I know that its gonna be much harder to enjoys Dinner out because of the Pandemic but its nice every now and then to go do. So if your looking for somewhere to Join for a Night out, come join the Billy Club. !!! read more

Tried a new restaurant. We had an excellent dinner at Billy Cub. Promptly seated on arrival, water was poured. Our friendly waiter came right over to take our drink order. We started with half dozen oysters that were delicious and fresh. Next we shared a wonderful winter salad and Burrata Tartine. For our main course we both had the Wahoo fish. Everything was freshly prepared. We will definitely return. read more

A cute and modern little place that I've heard of, but didn't know it was right in the heart of Allentown! Visited here with a few of my friends for a birthday dinner a couple weeks ago. Inside is a fairly large bar with several tables alongside and in the rear of the building. There are a few tables outside along the sidewalk. We opted to sit inside, only because there was a ready table at the time and we didn't make reservations. They have a sort of limited menu with just a few options for each category (small plates, and large plates). Not a lot of vegan/vegetarian options, but they are very much willing to work with you if you require those dietary options. For example, we notified our waiter that our friend is vegetarian, and he offered to have the kitchen make a special plate for him. This was a sort of impromptu dinner, so I wasn't starving. I ordered the crab cake. It was one of the best I've ever had! The flavors were definitely there, even though there was only one cake. Very dope and will order again. Certainly a place I'd frequent if I lived in the area. Will be back again!! read more

My sister and I went here tonight and what a pleasant surprise. Not a big place by any means but big enough. Appetizers and food were phenomenal (french fries were house made the same way our Belgian mother used to make them). We voted them best in WNY. The service was excellent! It's right across from our old stomping ground The Brick Bar! Will definitely be revisiting soon!!! read more

This was the first place we visited once arriving in Buffalo! It was on my list of places to check out, but I wasn't sure if we'd make it there for happy hour or dinner. We lucked out and passed the restaurant without even realizing it at 5:00 right when they opened! My boyfriend and I got a seat at the bar and were the first ones there. Shortly after the bar and restaurant started filling up with reservations. The bartender Dan was great! He was super knowledgeable about places to go in Buffalo and gave great suggestion. Their cocktail menu was really fun to read through! There were a lot of drinks and ingredients that I had never heard of before. I ordered the Charming Foxhole which had aperol and tequila in it (so good), and my boyfriend had the Berry Bostwick (Lillet, strawberry). Both drinks were delicious and strong! We liked sitting at the bar and watching the drinks be made. The people at the bar next to us were regulars and ordered the oysters. Dan said they were from prince Edward Island and were medium sized. I impulsively ordered them even though we were going to dinner after. They were some of the best oysters I've ever had! You could tell they were super fresh, and the raspberry rose mignonette was perfect on them. This was a great little cocktail hour and I would love to eat dinner there next time! read more

Billy Club is a very nice restaurant I will definitely visit again. They have a small menu that changes including several small plates and 4-5 entrees. We started with a cheese plate with three types of cheese, bread give toast, jam and honey. Everything was quite delicious. We also ordered a small dish of lovely olives and a dozen oysters. The oysters were perfect. We all tried different drinks and they were all unique and tasty. And very impressively decorated. Entrees were a lobster fettuccine with flavorful red sauce, crispy halibut over farro, and seared duck breast with pancetta, asparagus, and beans. Everyone cleaned their plates. Last we ordered one each of three desserts that were offered. A flourless chocolate cake that was like a perfect fudge, a pecan cake, and a citrus panna cotta. Amazing every one. Please try this restaurant out, all fabulous food, great presentation, well designed drinks, and friendly helpful staff. read more

During the COVID-19 pandemic, they have been releasing a menu at the beginning of the week for a certain day and accepting take-out orders via email (just email what you want and time you want to pickup). On the day of pickup they called to confirm my order ~1 hr before scheduled pickup) and took the payment over the phone. When we arrived at Billy Club, we called and they brought the order out to the car. The whole process was smooth and curteous. Wowie, that burger! The caramelized onions had a great tender sweetness, the blue cheese dressing had a perfect tang to it, and the bun was pillowy soft. I could not have asked for it to be cooked to a more perfect medium. The fries were fresh cut, skinny style and so crisp and salty. Definitely some of the best fries I have ever had even if they weren't right out of the fryer when we ate them. Hats off to the chef and staff! Job well done! read more

We went for dinner, and found this really cool little place tucked away on Allen street in Allentown, across from Mulligans Brick Bar. Very clean, cozy, and inviting open dinning room, and can order food to enjoy at the welcoming bar, too. Small entre selection, but executed beautifully. My husband ordered the duck, my son got the rib steak and I had the tortillini. Steak came sliced up, and was a larger portion meal. The duct was a moderate size meal, and the pasta was on the lighter side. All were very delicious. Appetisers were awsome, and much to chose from. Service was exceptional. We enjoyed our evening. Thank you Tyler, for taking care of us. Casual and comfortable dinning! We'll be back! read more
