Super friendly bartender, she put out candy for Halloween! Pretty limited draft beer options, but noticed they have huge bottles of everything from crown royal to hendrick's gin. Will probably get cocktails next time. read more

Fugazi - Beetle-Roger - Gay Bars Near Me - Buffalo, New York

We stopped into this cute place, during our most recent to Buffalo. We were immediately welcomed by the bartender and served. She was quick, open to conversation and brought us some popcorn. Great selection of martinis and weekly specials. Definitely go and experience! read more

This was one of the absolute worst bars I have ever been to. I went with 2 friends and our experience started out great, but ended horribly. There was a really nice bartender, Frankie, who was serving us and he was fantastic. He was nice and personable and his service was great. There was another bartender who was sitting at the bar, drinking, that was the rudest person I've ever met. He wanted the seat that I was sitting in to use for himself, so he started yelling at us and got behind the bar, claiming he was the manager, and he threw 2 drinks in my friend's face. It was the most unprofessional and ludicrous thing I've ever seen in my life. The other bartenders kept apologizing on his behalf and it seemed like they were used to him acting crazy like that. I've never seen someone so unhinged in my life. I really hope the owner does something about the guy working there because I would hate for anyone else to have this experience in the future. I'm still shocked about how we were treated when we didn't even do anything or yell back at him the whole time. It's not okay to treat anybody like that, especially paying customers. read more

My favorite gay bar in buffalo! Joe is the best bartender you could ever ask for and makes the best drinks! Just don't come here every other Wednesday, or you may encounter a pretentious a-hole bartender who clearly thinks he's better than everyone else (narrator: he was not better than anyone else and his personality was a 0/10). Seriously idk what his deal is but he's just not it. Avoid at all costs. read more

Sting drinks and great atmosphere! Their drinks are also not expensive for the amount of alcohol you get. They don't sell food, but they do have popcorn. I love that they actually don't mind you bringing food in to eat. Bartenders are always friendly and the bathrooms are always clean. The have a pool room which is cool. They also have TVs that show music videos. Depending on which night you come determines what type of music may be played. Overall a nice secret hideaway. read more

Updated review: It's still my favorite gay bar in Buffalo as it remains the classiest, by far, with some of the friendliest bartenders. Pool table, dart board, small sidewalk patio and good/inexpensive martinis ... all positive attributes. But the time has come for me to knock off a couple stars. I'm so tired of gay bars having the absolute worst beer selection. I know the boys tend to like their mixed drinks and martinis (as do I, on some evenings). But Buffalo is a beer drinking town - we love good craft beer. For the love of pete, please get a wider variety of beer beyond Labatt and Mich Ultra. And one tap of Sam Adams isn't going to cut it either. I get so frustrated at the crappy beer selection that I sometimes moan and complain when my friends choose Fugazi as our late hours drinking spot. read more

I really like this bar for the drinks and decor. And that's where my good review stops. I have to agree with another reviewer. The clientele in there seems cliquey from my observation after visiting Fugazi several times. It's hard for "outsiders" to converse with people that are standing in circles or half circles against the bar and in corners. I literally have had people's backs towards me at the bar. Should we install a wall too? A gay bar should be a welcoming space and refuge from a discriminating world for LGBTQ people. Sadly LGBTQ people aren't nice to each other. Pubs and bars should be a place to socialize with others! Unfortunately doing it here is a challenge! read more

First time at this place. Went with several friends both gay and straight. We had tons of fun. Very welcoming staff and good atmosphere. . Drinks where great. I would definitely come again and bring friends. read more

Maybe the morbidly obese bartender was having a rough night, but he was incredibly rude and bitchy to us right as we walked in. Asked what he recommended and he gave a very sarcastic and rude response. When we apologized and tried to order he interrupted us by demanding our ids and made an ugly face looking at our ids. Blown away at this kind of behavior. Went to this bar on many other occasions and made friends, spoke with guests, and had a much nicer and chatty bartender. Completely ruined if they're going to hire staff that still thinks "bitchy gay guy" is a cute personality to have. read more

Bar is a nice place. Drinks are cheap and it is in a good location. Nothing really bad to say about the place, staff could be a little more friendly since they are waiting on people but mostly they get the job done. read more

Fugazi is one classy establishment! The tasteful wood paneling, flattering lighting, TVs playing Kylie Minogue videos, and great bartenders! Not to mention of course an overwhelming number of hot men that are just as happy to bop around to Beyonce's "Single Ladies" as I am! They have a decent patio too, in case the pop music is too much, or it's too hot inside. Then your biggest issue outside may be the cigarette smoke. Either way, this is the best gay bar in Buffalo. read more

Echoing many others, Fugazi is the classiest of all the gay bars in Buffalo. It's pretty much the only one I enjoy frequenting in fact. The have really cheap specials on what they call "Thrifty Thursday", including $1.50 domestic bottles, $1.50 well drinks, and $3 cosmos -- wouldn't be a gay bar without the cosmos and martinis! Their drinks are well priced in general though! My boyfriend and I spent a Friday evening there, and had 3 drinks each and they all rounded out to be a meager $4/drink even with the decent liquors (Jack Daniels, Three Olives, etc.) The bartenders are friendly and attentive. They even have free popcorn! We happened to unintentionally be in there during bear night last night, and they had lots of snacks (including some very kitsch gummy bears). The bar boasts a rotating menu of different martinis that seem reasonably priced ($6 I believe) and sound delicious! I haven't tried any, but some of the other patrons informed me that they were very tasty (I was already a few drinks in by that point, and decided it wouldn't be a good idea to order a martini). Lastly, the music is awesome. They seem to enjoy playing music videos from the mid-late 80s and 90s on the TVs -- and there are no complaints from me about that! read more

Classy gay bar! This is the place to chill with your friends. Just because it's a gay bar doesn't mean you HAVE to be gay to enjoy it (to the reviewer above.) Their martinis are world-class. I tried a Creme brûlée martini that believe it or not tasted just like Creme brûlée. Then I had a peanut butter pie martini, which was also pretty good. Great place for Buffalo read more

I love to visit Fugazi! As far as bars go it's a casual setting with music and friendly people, and it's a good place to meet friends after work and have a drink. Fugazi offers specials through the week and themes through the week to cater to different people. We make it a point to visit every Thursday night because the cosmos are only three dollars. Miss Rose and Mike are my two favorite bartenders; they make a perfect drink... maybe sometimes I'm the strong side but there's no complaints coming from me about that. For me personally I know it's a good way to get a little buzz, and I don't have to spend a fortune at only three dollars a drink If you're new or have never been you should have a nice martini. The menu is extensive and can be a little frightening at first glance but the drinks are always interesting. Some of my personal favorites are the oatmeal cookie and pistachio martinis! On recommendation from my friend Vanessa you should order the Peach Fuzz. If you're curious the martini menu is two pages long. You're guaranteed to find something you like or want to try so be adventurous! It's a nice place with fun music and lots of TV's to watch the music videos. Sometimes the music can be a little loud, but it's a bar so I have no complaints about that. There's a nice long bar you can sit at with friends where the TV's line the walls. If you want more space there's an open room next to the bar with a pool table or you can visit there patio and enjoy a nice summer breeze during the right time of year. read more

I love this little place! The people are friendly and bartenders are personable. It's great for a group or just going to catch up with a friend over drinks. read more

Favorite gay bar in buffalo! Great place to start off your Saturday night around 1030, then most migrate to funky monkey around the corner on Allen or they go downtown to Marcella read more

See all

By far the classiest and my favorite gay bar in buffalo! Want a bar, were the bartenders and friendly and can actually make a decent drink? This is your place! The martinis are out of this world. Fugazi is a quant little bar tucked away near the corner of Allen and Franklin. The place is small but there is enough room to spread out and enjoy your friends. There are two rooms. The main room and bar, which consists of a full bar and a few tables. The second room, to the right holds a pool table for those who enjoy it and a few tables and chairs for those who don't. They also have a dart machine which I don't think I've even seen anybody use. They also have a nice patio for use during the warmer months! Long story short. Looking for a classy gay bar? Where the bartenders are great? The drink are good? The crowd is fun? And the music brings you back to your teenage days? This is your place with out a doubt! You'll catch me here on some Friday and weekend nights, say Hi! read more

Fugazi has been my favourite go to watering hole for the past 21 years. The bartenders are always very friendly and willing to let me bent their ear. This is my version of a cheers in Buffalo where they always greet me by name. It's a great place to hang out and meet new friends. It's fun to go on Tuesday retro video night to see all the videos from my day. Here's to another 21 years! read more

Nice spot. Definitely a sausage fest the night I was there. Cute and stylish guys, fun pop music videos playing, friendly bartenders, good drinks. Lots of places to sit, clean bathrooms, and friendly customers. Pool table and darts. read more

Best Martini's in Buffalo. Awesome place to go unwind and have drinks!! Love the the atmosphere !

Best place ever, trendy, clean and awesome drinks! I love going there! People are friendly and the staff is great!

Great atmosphere and service. Feels like a big city bar but in a comfortable neighborhood. They run great specials and are active in the community. read more

Awesome cocktails/martinis, great specials, friendly and quick staff, clean and upscale atmosphere. Love the wood (no pun intended). My only complaint is the music selection is hit or miss (a little too top 40/diva pop heavy, with Glee videos thrown in, but some decent stuff comes in now and again). It's a much more adult and laid back atmosphere than some of the other gay bars in town, with little to no drama. Darts and pool available. I really miss the super sweet shot boy that used to work here with the mohawk - he was the nicest dude in rainbow panties (no pun again, he really wore only rainbow panties) I've ever spoken to. I don't know if they got rid of the shot boys to "fancy" up the place, but either way I've spent many-a-night wasted on a bar stool in here laughing at my bff as he mocks Beyonce vidoes. "If you were going to b+tchslap a girl, wouldn't you want a robot hand?" (in reference to a video where Beyonce wears a futuristic metal armor glove). read more

Fun videos and great cocktails. Great service and low prices! Lots of drink specials throughout the week. They also have the best cosmos and a variety of delicious specialty martinis to choose from! read more

Really cute bar close to home. Great bar and a fun and respectful crowd. The bar tender Drew is so friendly and just overall a great atmosphere here. read more

Fugazi - Jolly rancher! - Gay Bars Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Nice drink specials. Rose is a great bartender. Only bad things about It's to clicky and and the same two drunks are there every day being loud. ( Man and woman in their 50's) get a life. read more

Actually a simple formula.......Perfect martinis (Rosie ) + Cosmos + ( - $ :) ) + liquor selection + videos + pool + darts + patio - tap beer selection + (- " gay undesirables ".....you know what I mean sloppy drunks ) + great staff = 4 Stars. The nicest of all of the gay bars but all are welcome....if your straight that's fine you can't help it you were born that way! read more

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. I live in a large city and we're more friendly to people who are visiting. I'm a very nice, outgoing and people oriented person. The only person that talked to me the whole night was a nice woman named Adrien. Five ugly queens with dark hair and facial hair that looked like the Osmond brothers sat down at the end of the bar by the restroom ripping people apart. They began this by complaining that two nice looking guys who were acquaintances were coming through the door to visit them. You five guys are as ugly on the inside as you are on the outside. The bartender needs to take care of the chemistry of his bar and make sure everyone that enters feels welcomed. I'm a nice looking guy and I sat alone for most of the night listening to the five guys at the end of the embarrass THEMSELVES. read more

Was so delighted to stumble upon this place during my hometown visit for "Showtune Sunday." The bartender had a devil-may-care attitude, and could barely grunt a goodbye even though I showed enthusiasm for the content and tipped more than adequately. The crowd was rather cliquish. Overall, certainly not any more welcoming than the most cutthroat NYC cabaret nor sadly, befitting of "the city of good neighbors.". read more

My favorite gay bar in Buffalo. Most people start their evening here before migrating to the next stop. Great bartenders, relaxed vibe, decent music, great patio space (can get a bit crowded, can contain a lot of smokers). But def worth a visit. read more

This is my friends go to gay bar, so I get taken along for the ride quite often. I always have a lot of fun, meet new people and rarely put up with the catty bullshit like other places attract. We play a round, grab some drinks and kick back on the patio and talk. Drinks are well mixed and priced well. read more

Have been here several times in the past. Came here with my mom and sister for a drink. Went to the bar and sat for 15 minutes. Were definitely seen, and not waited on. Went and approached the bar at the other corner and both bartenders turned their back to us. It was not busy. My sister came out and asked If they had an issue serving us. Both bartenders played stupid, and yet STILL did not offer to take our order. We all left. Lost my business for good. read more

Great drinks!! Maybe skip the popcorn. Miss Rose at the door is always a treasure... Mike is also a true gem. May I suggest the woo woo, or perhaps a pistachio martini... If you are not watching your calories... But did you know when you drink out of a fancy glass there are no calories... It's the truth! Also Sunday's are a great time when the bar comes alive with show tunes!!! read more

I simply adore this bar. The barmen are awesome, the drinks are awesome and for the most part, it's not too packed. The highlight of this bar (aside from my favourite barman, Mike) are the martinis. The Polar Bear is probably my favourite. . . it tastes like pancakes with syrup. Yes, you read that right, PANCAKES AND SYRUP. The fat alcoholic I am LOVES this concept. Om nom. Now, my boyfriend claims this bar to be his favourite and I believe that is majorly due to Personal Pitcher night. You have your choice of four different drinks that come to you in a pitcher. Just like the ones you usually get full of beer at bowling alley's and pizza parties, except these are full of liquor. All the alcohol you could possibly handle in one night for a measley fiver. They also have popcorn and on Sundays they have showtunes night! As far as the gay bars in Buffalo, this one is significantly classier than most of its peers. It feels less like a cruising spot and more like a place to meet your friends after work. read more

Pumpkin martinis are the best, ever. I was given the recipe in a visit home but when I called from my new home in Florida to ask for the recipe because I forgot one of the ingredients, I was told , no. :-( read more
