You are welcomed as soon as you walk in and they make you feel like family right away. More than 30 unique sauces for your wings and chicken fingers. Ended up staying for several hours. Great conversation and you can tell the regulars that come here keep coming for a reason. The location is right in the heart of downtown Buffalo and plenty of on street parking. The music was good and the atmosphere is great. Prices are significantly better than most every other place I've been to, and the options are plentiful and unique. Highly recommend this place for drinks and food. A+! Check it out guys. You won't regret it.

The kitchen is right off the bar and didn't look well kept, we decided against getting food here because of the look of things. Not sure I would come back, but it was interesting for a visit. It definitely seems like a locals spot and they did stay pretty consistently busy while we were there.

I recently stopped into Falley Allen and was excited to try one of their flavored espresso…read moremartinis. I was told those are only available during brunch -- totally fine, I get that certain specials have set times. However, I then tried to order the martini flight that was listed on the drink menu and was told that was seasonal and no longer available. That was a bit confusing, especially since it hadn't been removed. I also wasn't offered any alternative flavors or suggestions, which felt like a missed opportunity. I ended up ordering their standard espresso martini -- which they seem to pride themselves on -- but unfortunately it tasted burnt. It also appeared that the espresso isn't made fresh, as there was a bottle of espresso sitting on the bar. For a cocktail that really depends on quality espresso, that was disappointing. However my friend did try another cocktail off their drink menu and it was delicious. To finish our visit, I waited about 10 minutes just to get my check while the bartender was engaged in conversation with other bartenders. It made the experience feel inattentive and frustrating. The space itself has a cool vibe, but overall the experience fell short of expectations. I'd love to see more consistency between the menu, social media, and what's actually available, fresher preparation for a cocktail they promote so heavily, and more attentiveness at the bar.

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!

Our waitress was wonderful. I was debating between a couple items on the menu and opted for a salad. I ordered the Beet & Burrata salad ... um lol well if you would call it that. Two of us ordered this and we both were surprised when it came out to say the least. Basically a couple pieces of lettuce on top of chopped beets under a spicy-ish hollandaise type dressing over burrata. Or I'm assuming the dressing was what was a tad spicy. However I couldn't figure it out lol. There were a couple tiny smoked peach pieces on the side...just too smoky for my taste. Would have preferred just a fresh grilled peach. Also added a side of chicken to toss on my "salad" thinking it had a whole bed of lettuce, however could have avoided ordering that had I seen a picture of this salad beforehand - so I threw that in for you all in case you're on the fence of what to order. It was good if you like beets, but not really filling since the portion was pretty small. Loved the presentation though, gotta give them that. I also had the Oz-molitan... cosmo with blood orange ...delicious! If you like fruity drinks get it!! I tried my friends' fresh cut regular fries, the truffle fries, and also some of the pepperoni flatbread (I forget exactly what it was called, apologies) but all of those were to die for! I almost wished I had ordered those myself haha. Oh well, next time! Not a huge fan of coming downtown (only downside for me but the hubby dropped me off lol) but I would definitely come back again!

Found out about this pretty overlooked brewery. It has a pretty great selection without too much to…read morechoose from. 42N has a bigger location in the suburbs while this one is urban. Fairly okay prices on beers at least. The ones on tap include a few interesting fruit flavors and the food is crazy expensive for most stuff. Bigger than it looks inside but there's mostly seating at the bar and not as many tables available. It's one of the many breweries around here. They had a pretty great selection on tap. An okay amount. It's about $7 for a pint. Best one we had of these was the Oatmeal Cookie. This is a brown ale with notes of things including of course oatmeal. Food is limited. It's about $5 for the Side Salad. Topped with carrots, cucumbers, mesclun, red onions, and tomatoes, along with a choice of dressing and we got the apple shallot vinaigrette. As for the rest it's expensive. There's a few things such as flatbreads at $20 or more. It's not even an actual pizza just flatbread. There's a few plant based choices at least. Got to say that we could go here again. It's closed Mondays. This is located on Main at Tupper.

We were in a bind in late 2021 when my mom came to visit and we tried again. I had left a three star review after that, but eventually felt guilty and removed it because they're in our neighborhood. Since it's been several years we decided to try again. Their Instagram post advertised a smash burger and fish sandwich specials. Right up our alley! We called up and ordered takeout. The young woman on the phone was very pleasant. The pickup experience was fine...the food? Not so good and definitely not worth $18 for each meal. The double cheeseburger patties had a spongy texture and didn't seem like a smash burger. I'm pretty sure they're pre-formed frozen pucks...or at the very least they taste like it. The fish filet sandwich was crispy and initially looked delicious, but the actual fish inside ended up being soooo mushy...very unpleasant. I had to throw it out after two bites, the texture of the fish was so off-putting. The french fries that came with both sandwiches were generous and tasted fine enough, but they were all such short pieces. I mean, I want at least a few full sized fries, yah know? This disappointing experience confirms our opinion of Colter Bay...for the fourth time. We won't be trying again for a few years.
