My very first visit to Green Buffalo Pub, and unfortunately, it will also be my last. I live approximately two minutes away from Green Buffalo Pub, and this was actually my very first time going there. My neighbor who lives across the street had told me what an amazing bar it was and specifically raved about how good the wings were. She also met her husband there and told me since I was single, I should go check it out!! I decided to take her recommendation and finally give it a try. I was genuinely excited to try the Loganberry wings. I even recorded a video during my walk there. I was recording to make what I thought would be a great review. During my 2 minute walk to the bar I was talking about how excited I was to try the wings. I walked in expecting to have a good experience and hopefully find a new local place that I would enjoy coming back to. Everything went downhill the second I walked through the door. I was accompanied by my service dog, who was wearing her service vest and is licensed in Lancaster, NY. She was sitting quietly and safely in her stroller. She was completely under control and well behaved. She does and did not bark, bother anyone, damage anything, or cause any disruption. There is a specific reason she was in her stroller. She is trained to assist me. She provides calming assistance by laying on me and licking my hand or face to help ground and calm me. Having her positioned higher in her stroller allows her to perform these tasks more effectively when I need her assistance. She was right beside me, in a controlled environment, and was not causing a problem. The employee I spoke with, Jamie, who I have since learned is the new owner of Green Buffalo Pub, repeatedly told me, "She's a pet. She's a pet," while laughing after I explained that my dog was a service dog. I explained again that she was a service dog multiple times, yet Jamie continued to dismiss what I was telling her and laughed at me. She then demanded that I provide paperwork proving that my dog was a service dog. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses cannot demand service animal certification, registration, licensing papers, or other documentation as a condition of entry. When it is not obvious that a dog is a service animal, staff are generally limited to two questions regarding whether the dog is required because of a disability and what work or task the dog has been trained to perform. My dog was not barking, aggressive, disruptive, damaging property, or having an accident. She was calm, controlled, and doing exactly what I needed her to do. And I have video documenting what happened. I have the video from my walk to the establishment, where I am genuinely excited and talking about trying their wings, as well as video from the interaction after I began recording when I was being denied access with my service dog. The contrast between those two videos speaks for itself. What should have been a quick trip to try some wings based on a neighbor's recommendation ended with me crying and bawling my eyes out the entire way home. I live two minutes away. I came there as a first time customer with every intention of making a great review of the food and potentially becoming a regular customer. Instead, I was laughed at, humiliated, and made to feel like I was doing something wrong simply because I needed my service dog with me. This was not about getting special treatment. It was about being treated with basic dignity, respect, and equal access. I am filing formal complaints with the appropriate agencies and preserving the video and documentation I have regarding this incident. I will never spend a dollar at Green Buffalo Pub, and I will not recommend this establishment to anyone. Jamie, as the new owner, I sincerely hope you take this seriously and educate yourself and your staff about the rights of people with disabilities and service animals. No one should have to walk into a neighborhood business excited to try the food and leave in tears because they were laughed at and denied access with their service dog. I walked in excited to try your Loganberry wings. I walked out without ever getting the chance to order them, and I walked home crying. That is an experience I will never forget! I go out of my way to write good reviews all the time for people to help them get raises and to help their business get more customers and this was just honestly a huge disappointment. (If you want to support a great restaurant/bar in Lancaster, go to SKOOB'S, great service and excellent food, and my service dog is welcome.) read more

We came as a late night group. The bar was busier than expected for a Thursday night, but the service was fast and friendly. We played darts while waiting for our wing order. The wings smelled amazing. Tasted even more amazing. Perfect size, sauce was great and they were cooked just right. read more

A great place for drinks!!!! The bartenders are great and super friendly and great energy! Love coming into a place that makes u feel super comfy. Go here! You won't be disappointed! read more

Nice personalities on the bartender staff. Been coming there for years unnoticed because of liking to keep a low profile. Hopefully the new owners will do well with the place as the previous good luck in the future. read more

The "GBP" is a neighborhood dive bar and cash only. Its a popular spot among locals, and draws in a wide age range of adults. They offer a handful of beers on tap including domestic and craft beers, and they also have a full bar and serve food. Prices are reasonable and there's a pool table. read more

My wife & I were going to GBP to meet up with some friends. Upon arrival, before we even got out of the car, we were being yelled at by some vagrant hippie woman who didn't like where I parked. It was snowing and the lot was quite full. But, I obliged and moved the car to appease the smelly old lady. We entered the establishment and had one round of drinks while getting our butts kicked in darts. As we were sitting in the corner with five friends, minding our own business, the bartender made her way over to us to tell me we had to leave. She claims "someone over served us", and we couldn't stay. This was quite shocking, so we went to the car to contemplate wtf just happened. My wife got an Uber and I went back inside to get a glass of water and inquire why we were kicked out. The BS that was spewing out of the bartender's mouth reeked of menthol cigarettes and multiple abortions. There was no compromise to be had, so I chugged the water and left. In the end, two very good tippers were sent on our way for no reason. If you like being judged and manipulated by local Lancaster regulars, this bar is Awesome! If not, it's still the same dive bar we've been going to for years. read more

Decent neighborhood bar. Not a huge draft selection but they have some good offerings on tap, including Warsteiner Dunkel the last time I was there. Didn't get food this time but previously have had their wings which were good. Service was fast and friendly. read more

This bar could be a really awesome place and I would definitely go back if it weren't for the blonde bartenders attitude. Honestly ruined the vibe, she was incredibly rude and ignorant I'm shocked she still has a job there. Hopefully she gets a reality check because that was disgusting customer service. read more

Cool dive bar in Lancaster! There is plenty to do. A nice sized bar, darts, pool table, jukebox, and lots of regulars. I have heard their chicken wings are great though I have not tried themselves. The drink prices are decent, they have lots of parties for Halloween and other events. Great place to watch a sabres or bills game and everyone has always been friendly when I was there. Lots of parking around the building. read more

Oh boy were do I get started, I love greenies so much they are my favorite treat to get so rich in flavor and so green, I will do tricks for it, the servjce is quite nice although to get my greenie i have to do tricks which is bull shit but it is very worth it. read more

I like it but I need to know when the kitchen closes. Why is this listed nowhere? What if I want wings at 1 am???

I just paid $6.00 for a well vodka soda. Really? I just paid $6.50 for a Deep Eddy Lemon and soda. I've been here before, pre covid, and had a decent experience but for a dive bar, this seems excessive. read more

One of my favorite divey spots. This place has anything you need for a chill night out. Darts, pool, bubble hockey and bowling for your entertainment. Tons of inexpensive bar food is available for your sober or drunk dining pleasure. I love the cajun chicken fingers and the fresh cut curly fries. At least get a big old bowl of fries. Seriously! Drinks are super reasonably priced. The only thing worth mentioning is that it is CASH ONLY! read more

Love the owner, love the employees, love the food, and love my Guinness! It's always a good time at the GBP! Even the daytime regulars know how too keep it light and fun. CHEERS! read more

My friend needed a buffer for a "meet-up" with a guy, so she asked me to make the trip out to Lancaster. The place was your average neighborhood bar with a relaxed atmosphere. I felt totally comfortable, maybe more so because of the camaraderie with the Thursday night Bills/Jets game. They were doing a $15 special for a double order of wings and a pitcher of beer. Sweet deal. My friend and I split the Cajun wings, and the charred BBQ wings and they were phenomenal. I usually like my wings plain, but I kept going back and forth between the two flavors trying to figure out which one I liked best. I might consider a trip back just for the wings. There's a pool table, dart board, and plenty of T.V.s. No fuss, great place to go if you're in the area. read more

If you're from Lancaster...chances are you've hung out here. Either with your parents or with every other person that graduated from LHS. The owner, Jimmy Lynch, is a great guy and still tends bar from time to time. They've got darts, pool, shuffleboard, and....Big Game Hunter. be prepared for a bit of competition. Its a younger crowd later in the evenings these days, but still a great time to be had. As always, take care of your bartenders and they will take care of you. read more

The hospitality in this establishment is second to none. The bartenders are so friendly. You won't find chicken wings anywhere in Buffalo better than here. read more

A Lancaster tradition. Your typical corner bar with darts and pool table. But that's a good thing! Has good pub comfort fare. And as for the owner Jimmy ......... what can I say ....... Póg mo thóin Jimmy! Gotta love this guy. He's a character. GBP .... Cead Mile Failte .... Try it, you'll like it! read more

This is my 237th time here but the first time as a Yelper! Let me start off by saying this is the best hole in the wall dive bar in this side of the Mississippi. Every drink is a double & if you get the last shot out of the bottle the drink is free as it should be ! Wonderful owners & great bartenders !! 9/10 would recommend if you'd like to blackout after having 4 mixed drinks read more

I'm upgrading to 4 stars. I've been back several times since my last review. The vibe is friendly, the drinks are reasonably priced and the bar food, while limited in selection, is all very well executed. I'd rather eat at a pub does a few things really well than one that tries to do too many things with varying results. Also, they have some some interesting beer options over and above your typical Labatts and Coors. Last visit there was somebody lording over the jukebox and when I tried to put a buck in he came running over to stop me, not sure why but I didn't want to make a stink. But, that kind of thing happens in any neighborhood tavern. Just part of the charm. I even dragged my wife here once and she enjoyed herself. We'll be back. read more

Average dive bar. Owner is a nice guy, however he sometimes allows smoking inside the building. I'd like to have a drink or two with my buddies and not leave the place smelling like I smoked a pack. Dart board, pool table, digital bowling. Bathrooms are a mess. I'm a classy guy who enjoys a seasonal brew on tap. Not much in tap here besides your domestics. read more

Local dive! It has your dart boards and pool tables and a adequate beer selection but if your a yuppie beer drinker like myself the microbrew selection is a disaster! The green buffalo is nothing special but then again are most dive bars? Stop in for a drink, watch a game. read more

Never have I ever been to an establishment that was so disrespectful to me and my group of friends. All of us were visiting from out of state for an alumni event and we were so so excited to be with each other and go to this bar because they were open late and near where we were staying for the weekend. They would only serve 1 out of 6 of us and told everyone else to leave or else, because all of us were women who had out of state drivers licenses. We tried to show every other possible form of identification and they would not serve us because we were not from New York and couldn't trust our IDs. After a half intimidating man in a leather vest hovered over us for the next 15 minutes and threatened to kick us out saying the cops were on their way because we all were using fake IDs, we were able to speak to many other patrons who were also out of state, and they could not understanding why they were being so unkind to all of us and kicking us out of the bar when all we wanted to do was support their small family business. Needless to say, this establishment was the most unkind I have ever been to and pretty much used sexist judgement to discriminate against all of us and kick us out when we came in extremely happy to visit this bar and have some drinks with friends who have not seen each other in years. Not the place for you, but might be the place for your worse enemy. Go literally anywhere else, circle K or 7/11 would be friendlier with much more logical and intelligent service. Very upset. Very hurt by this establishment and the way women at this business treat other women. read more

why no reviews? i saw one in the Buffalo News not too long ago - great article on this place. go check the archives. great local bar - kinda like "Cheers" the bartenders remember your name and give you the full amt of alcohol you ordered - not watered down like some or paying no attention to you. Steph is a great bartender - knows how to make your drink and has suggestions on special nights (like what liquor is on sale and how to make your drink get the best value). great customer service. Jimmy - the owner - is fantastic. quite a character! the bar food ain't bad either - better find out when the kitchen is open before you venture out. the chicken fingers, fries and pizza logs were all delicious. great place to watch a game (NFL, NHL, MLB, etc) while you get a drink and snack. 1 pool table, a couple dart boards and a jukebox round out your extras here. i go here with friends when i visit home and i never am disappointed. wide range of ages for the patrons here. check it out! read more

Great local pub that has an awesome atmosphere. They always have drink specials and the food is cheap and tasty especially the wings. The bartender Jimmy is super cool and always provides excellent customer service read more

The bartenders are consistently miserable and they don't accept credit cards....in 2017. It's always a negative atmosphere. I've given the place three attempts and after meeting the bartender the third time on Thursday I will not be back. read more
