If you love Neat, Vice is the perfect choice if you're in Buffalo for a play, musical, or concert…read more Same menu. It's in walking distance to many performance venues. You need a reservation on Fridays after 4:30. Food and drinks are great, as expected. I didn't enjoy the ambiance as much. It felt louder. Plus we were seated in an area where you share the bench with other tables, although the tables are far enough so you don't feel like you're sitting right on top of everyone. If it's their house burger and a Buffalove old fashioned I'm craving, I prefer Neat. If I'm downtown for a show, I'll be back to Vice.

The humidor seemed very dry. The two sticks I bought were flakey and hard. Not a good way to keep customers intrigued and wanting to come back for more. I will try them again in the future and provide a secondary review and I hope it's better than this one.

I have no idea why this place was not on my radar, especially with a well-deserved 4.8 rating…read more First impression walking in? It smells fantastic. The layout is cozy and intimate with seating around the bar and several leather chairs and sofas throughout. Show posters throughout, some signed. The drink menu is extensive. I loved the lemon berry bourbon. They also have a large selection of absinthe, as well as beer and wine lists. Great service. The bathrooms are great. They even have lint rollers.

What a hidden gem. Well, maybe it's not, but I had no idea it's been on Main Street for 7 years…read morenow. Cozy and eclectic decor with playbills from various performances hanging on the walls. The staff was wonderful and so detailed with crafting our cocktails. They have a Wednesday deal where you get a draft beer, a shot, and the pizza of the day for only $20. All the other drink prices were very reasonable as well. The pizza was delicious. I believe it was mushroom truffle and jalapeño. We opted for no pepperoni. It was made to order, crisp and delicious. This will now be one of our stops whenever we go downtown.

This is a cute spot with great food and drinks! I felt uncool at times while I was there but that's…read morejust 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.

This ain't a wear your party dress to kind of bar but you just feel that you are going to enjoy yourself as you sit down at the bar or at the limited seating high tops or along the window side counter seats. An amazing awesome bartender who is playing a fantastic playlist of tunes you settle yourself into a place of comfort looking out at the perfectly framed General Mills plant that is busily filling Buffalo's breathable air with that comforting aroma of Cheerios! Young lady from behind the bar shares a menu and a check list of food ... sausage sandwiches ... soup ... and a few other items.

It took a while for the bartender to first take our order, then again come back to cash us out. Once we were seated nobody ever came over to the table to introduce themselves as our server, or get us any more drinks. We had to go find a server and ask them come over to the table. Bison burger 8/10 I don't remember the name of it, and it's not on the menu anymore. It was decent. Little messy though. Didn't love the tomato on it. Let James cook 10/10 Burger with a chicken finger. So good! Tater tots 10/10 Sooo good and the chive sour cream too. I would love to make these at home!
