Doors open at 6pm and the first ball is pulled at 7:30. We didn't think it was that serious and came about 6:45 to be safe. The parking lot was packed and there was only seating in an enclosed smoking section. Needless to say we did not stay. We might try again another day. If we do I'll write an updated review of the experience. If you want to come and sit in the non smoking section I'd say you need to be here by 6:15. Beer and wine are also served here which is cool.

My daughter and her significant other have a watercraft. They've used it periodically over the summer. Yesterday something went awry. Their boat lost all power and they were forced to paddle to safety. Hopefully.

An inflatable was sent to tow them to safety. What else can I say? My daughter is safe. Thank you, BFD!

Next month on September 20, 2025 there will be a celebration at River Fest Park 1-6pm to commemorate this historic fire boat. It's the world's oldest active fireboat and the only one in Buffalo. It can produce 15,000 gallons of water per minute, the equivalent of 10-11 fire engines. It's the only icebreaker in the port of Buffalo, and on July 4, 1996, it was designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Parks Service. And now, you can come aboard the 118-foot long, 178-ton Edward M. Cotter fireboat for absolutely free. Docked at 155 Ohio St. across from Swannie House, everybody is welcome to take a tour of the historic fireboat. Taking a tour of this fire boat and going out on the water on a beautiful summer evening with friends certainly has been the highlight of my summer in Western New York.

This is a beautiful little red fire boat which my friend tells us is also the oldest fire boat that is still working and being used in the whole country. I've loved it since the first time I saw it here in B-Lo years ago. I didn't even know they had fireboats (in general) until I saw this little thing, and it's something which always adds to the lovely charm of the marina area.

We had the beer battered, but the other options looked good too! A big piece of fish, on top of a serving of fries, a scoop of Cole slaw and one of potato salad completed the plate. It came with a roll. On the table were cups with tartar sauce, ketchup, salt for the fries and little envelopes with lemon juice. They have their fish fry all Fridays during Lent.

There was a nice pile of fries, a large scoop of potato salad and one of Cole slaw. The fries were unsalted and the Cole slaw and potato salad needed pepper, in my opinion, but all three sides were tasty. The dinner roll, instead of the traditional slice of rye bread, was a little dry. There is complimentary soda pop, coffee and water. (Light) beers are only $2.00. There are other dinner choices: breaded fish, chicken fingers, fried shrimp. All looked good and are generous servings. There are bowls of condiments and butter pats all along the tables. Sadly, there are no desserts. This Fire Company has a fish fry every Friday during Lent
