I cannot say enough about this tour! If you're looking for a unique gift for a fellow Buffalonian…read morewho enjoys Buffalo history and Buffalo's favorite past time (and no I'm not referring to football or even hockey) drinking, then this is the tour of all tours. I took the Polish Christmas tour last week and have been telling anyone who is willing to listen about this tour. I took my boyfriend as a surprise Christmas gift. The tour began at the Sportsmans Tavern on Amherst St. From there a school bus picked us (40) up from the tavern, and thus the night began. BONUS: no need to hide your drinks on the bus, they are allowed... in a red solo cup of course, proceed to party! Our first stop was St. Stan's Athletic Club, which is basically a bar with a pool table- only the best athletes allowed. Here we feasted on a traditional polish Wigilia dinner and drank classic polish beer. If you're not Polish and are not familiar with Polish drinks/liquors, I HIGHLY recommend you try Krupnik- it's a polish honey liquor. Whether you're feeling cold on a winters night, feeling a flu coming on, or are looking to kick back, a few shots of Krupnik is all it takes. From the athletic club, we proceeded on a short 2 minute walk to St. Stans church- a magnificently beautiful structure in the heart of a very dilapidated neighborhood. Religious or not, the church is a must see for everyone. The R&L lounge was next on the list- an old mom & pop joint which probably hasn't changed since the 70's. The owners, Ronnie and Loddie, are welcoming and have opened a beer or thousands over the years. Allegedly Loddie makes the best pierogis in town! If that doesn't leave you wanting to come back, I don't know what will. Next stop bowling... at Corpus Cristi Church (and athletic club). Yes, that's right, a bowling alley. You'll find Corpus Cristi Athletic Club is a trifecta: bar, bowling alley and pickles served as free bar food to munch on! Talk about a strike. And last, but certainly not least we headed over to Arty's- another gem tucked away on a side street, overlooking the famous Central Terminal. Arty's is the perfect combination of modern bar meets old polonia. Hands down, one of the best nights I've had in a long time. What a great way to showcase the city, bring awareness to the east side, and meet new friends. Highly recommend this to anyone from 21 yrs old to 101 years old. Tips: bring cash, the bars don't take credit or checks (unless you're at Corpus Cristi, then your bar tab may be paid by check).

Well, everyone who likes booze. 'Cause you can drink on the bus. Hooray! Don't let the slightly steep price (at least for us anyway) discourage you. It is more than worth the money, and they feed you too. We'd never had beef on Weck before, and it is really the ultimate bar food. Now I just need to find California Weck. Hints anyone?

This is our second trip with this establishment this season. The first, on the white two-story boat…read moreand most recently, the tiki boat. Both times we had Captain Dave, a tall gentleman with salt and pepper hair. He spoke rudely to a handful of customers and both of his bartenders. The first time we assumed he was having an off day, but seeing this attitude a second time on a different boat was shocking and disappointing. Perhaps the customers and bartenders were rude to him first, but regardless, it was inappropriate for others to witness. He also mentions at the start of the ride that there is no vaping onboard, which we found to be more than reasonable. However, my wife and I saw HIM vaping while driving the boat?! Additionally, we felt as if the drinks were overtly overpriced -- 2 oz well liquor for $12 is insane! No bar I have been to in the Buffalo area charges that much for a well cocktail. However, we did feel as if the price of the tour itself was reasonable. The music was also not to our liking, but we understand it is challenging to accommodate everyone. But, it would have been nice to suggest a song or two. Unfortunately, a few of our friends have has similar experiences.... We wished we had a better experience, but as it stands now, we will not return nor recommend this place to others.

Our tour guide Ellen did an excellent job of narrating this 1.5 hour trip down the Buffalo River. She spoke for nearly the whole time and wove together many different facets of industry, history, and local lore. Summer weekends look to be quite popular for this tour so I suggest getting a reservation on-line - their website and the process is very easy to use. Definitely a must do when in Buffalo!

You park not onsite and you're bound to their schedule. Our guide at the end started to talk about personal things vs facts of the falls which was a bummer too. Super nice people but could have been better. Also recommend doing the caves last they put it first and we were all in soaked shoes for 4 hours. Wish they'd prepare people in advance to wear sandals or put that event last.

I recently went on these boats as part of a team building afternoon with my company. I will admit,…read morethe reason I did not try this sooner was because of the expense, and the inability to fill a boat with friends who want to pedal away and hang out on the water! We went out on a gray day, and we knew the rain was coming, but we were prepared. We dressed appropriately, and the captain and first mate explained that we would need to turn back if we saw lightning, for safety. That was totally OK, and we all understood. The crew was friendly and incredibly professional. People tend to forget that boats are serious vessels, and you can easily drown, and need to know the safety procedures. They got that out of the way quickly, but we were fully informed of all the safety procedures and protocols (including the lightning warning). We spent an hour heading out to the lake, had a bluetooth hookup so one of us could DJ while we floated away. The center part has 2 deep coolers where you can load up ice, drinks, etc. You can bring whatever snacks and drinks you want! We had a wonderful time chatting, pedaling, drinking and noshing. We were caught in the rain but thanks to the roof we didn't notice! We all stayed totally dry while on the boat (we did get a little soaked running form the boat to our cars, but that's to be expected!). There are port a potty's at the launch site so you can feel at ease that there is a bathroom. There is a large sign to tell you where to go when you arrive at the parking lot. There is a sunshade and picnic tables while you wait. You have to park in the apartment complex lot, and you just head towards the water- it's not hard to find, but use your GPS if you are unsure. It was a really nice adventure, a great team building event, a unique experience, and definitely something to try this summer!
