    Car show
    Jennifer C.

    Lots of space, but no 'wow' factor. I've been here for Home & Garden Shows, Car Shows, Hair Shows, Soupfest.... you name it, they have the space.

    Great time at Soupfest. Some interesting/weird soups like reuben!
    Frans D.

    Soupfest was very nice. A lot of different soups to pick from. A change to try out some "weird" soups like Reuben soup. Too bad some soups were really salty. This time the setup was much better than before. More room to move.

    Average convention center. I was visiting for the Nickel City Comicon. The bathrooms could use some extra attention but the place was otherwise very clean.

    Car show what what !! This was my first car show experience. To be honest I only came to see the Porsche's. And there was only three and not even the cool ones. Lol damn. But all in all it was cool experience. The cars were nice and looking hottt. If they had only an exotic cars , car show I'd be there in a heartbeat. Good times, I had fun.

    I come here for a variety of events. World's largest disco, buffalo on tap, and now soup fest. Convenient location in the city and large enough spot for high volume events. Parking is almost always hard to find. I spend about 15 minutes just looking for a spot. I'm glad buffalo has a building and center for these types of things. It helps build up the excitement and showcase everything buffalo has to offer!

Not so, this April 4/15/2026... as we (best husband ever and me) had the utmost, gold star, VIP experience at Ironworks for the, "How Does If Feel? The Music of Bob Dylan and The Band," with Chest Fever and Tyler Bagwell. Perfect VIP Balcony seating, great food, and adult beverages, in addition to professional and accommodating servers. Classy in a welcoming, hometown, feel-good kind of way! We loved the performance and tribute to some of the best music of all-time. The keyboard player - Jody Bagley - was exceptional! We are now massive fans and followers! This review of one of Buffalo's prized music venues would not be complete without a 10-Star rating for Gracie Vesneske. Every customer service entity, venue, and business wishes and prays for someone like Gracie on their team! Outstanding communication, brilliant attention to detail, and over the top follow through - makes Gracie the Great irreplaceable. Oh, what a night!

Certainly, many a bride's dream come true in the making. Wedding receptions, engagement or anniversary parties, graduation or other special events held here will be memorable. Photography for your special day will be incredible in this beautiful setting too. Check out the one-hour photography package they are offering now on their website. A photo on the Buffalo Bills 50 yard line with a personal photographer framed in commemorative frame. Doesn't appear they are holding large events quite yet due to the COVID-19 restrictions. I will be eager to see how things take off for this lovely venue in the near future. This venue is part of the newly formed "BFLO District" at the Eastern Hills Mall. Who knew that Sears could look so chic?! Quite a make-over, indeed! Four stars for now. Let's see if this total flip is a flip in the right direction. Not a flop - when it comes to customer service, value, communication, collaboration with customers depending on them to make their special day outstanding.

    I was able to visit the BFLO Event center for the first time because I was invited to a Yelp event…read more Since I don't live in the area I wasn't aware of the entire transformation happening at the Eastern Hills Mall. I am amazed that the space was an old Sears. The space was beautifully designed, well thought out and is now a destination instead of turning into another abandoned building. In addition to the event center attached is the BFLO store, a hair salon, Chruscicki Bakery, Simply Pierogi and Sto Lat. The space itself is perfect for a wedding or your next big event. It is a large open and airy room with darker wood floors, light walls and furniture and gorgeous crystal chandelier and snowflake accent lighting. The interior design is very modern and elegant with touches of Buffalo subtly added in. Great lighting, tons of parking and a huge bar. To the back of the room are doors which take you to a hallway that connects to the other businesses in the complex. The hallway is large enough to accommodate mingling of overflow guests from the event center.

Ring the buzzer and they will come let you in (be patient, sometimes they may need to walk to the door from the other side of the building). The staff is friendly and helpful, and happy to answer questions. There is a wood shop, a metal shop, a fabric area, a Cricut machine, embroidery machine, 3D printer, laser cutters, and all kinds of other interesting tools to make stuff. They offer classes, and let people use the tools after taking safety classes if you show up during open shop hours when the supervisor of the space is there. They rent out small spaces as incubators and offer classes and guidance for growing businesses. If you have ideas of a thing you want to make, chances are there is somebody here who can teach you how to make it. The organization is very much based around community and sharing knowledge. If you are at all curious, I highly recommend the tour.

So far I've had the opportunity to make a shot glass, make some jewelry and learn the history of glass beads and play with 3D printing. As I mentioned previously the Foundry the incubator for a variety of business that make their home here. I recently attended the holiday market where a number of the vendors that make the Foundry home were open and many visiting crafters. Many if not all of these vendors host a class or two that for a reasonable price you can get hands on to learn a new skill. So far I've taken 3 and I can tell you these classes are small, intimate and really give you a hands on experience that really makes the class worth it. Some of these resident creators include a company that makes pucks and baseballs into bottle openers, a metal worker, glass blower, jewelry maker, a wooden frame bicycle maker and a man that makes bird feeders that resemble Frank Lloyd Wright windows. Most of them have etsy or other stores to browse what is available for purchase. For me, The Foundry is about creation, creativity and the access to be able to taken part in it. To work with skilled craftsmen, hear their stories, get tips while making something in the process. So check out a class or 10, it's worth it!

The spreads included a chopped olive tapas, a apricot mostarda and a caramelized onion dish. These could be enjoyed on the toast points or along with the roasted garlic goat cheese. There was also a cash bar. The event was a way for several merchants to display their wares, among them Blue Table Chocolates, Tommyrotter Distillery, Rebel Ride and several artisans. The wait staff was great, replenishing the various platters and serving trays of tasty mini-potato pancakes and boneless chicken wing bites throughout the evening. They also picked up plates, cans and bottles, taking them back to the kitchen for disposal vs. there being many unsightly trash cans throughout the room. This also added to the event, making the room more attractive.
