    Remember when every house had these?
    Amy R.

    As far as dive bars go, this is a good one. Feels a little like walking into someone's finished 70s basement. Unmatched chairs with plastic cushions included. Plenty of drink options and an extensive menu that wasn't just fried stuff. Place was clean and the bartender was great.

    Really nice dive bar. We could see that it had a regular local clientele as expected. The vibe was friendly, drinks cheap, and food tasty.

    Really cold and cheap drinks. Kind of a hole in the wall but a great spot if you want to get drunk

    We were worried it would be the type of place where "everyone knows each other" but it is not like…read morethat. Our server was very friendly and helpful with the menu. I love short ribs and theirs is tender and flavorful. My husband ordered clams with chorizo and pasta and loved it, stating it wasn't a "heavy" dish. Drink choices were good. Place was clean, parking in back. We would return!

    After a long drive to have brunch somewhere on Elmwood, just to find the doors locked, I ventured…read moreover here to have lunch and it did not disappoint! First off, I was greeted and found staff friendly and efficient! You have plenty of options for seating .. dining area, front bar, back bar, even an outdoor patio bar. Although it is dive bar-esque, it was nice and clean (let's be honest .. some dives have a stench and stickiness that can definitely ruin your appetite, no matter how much you may love them). They have a set up for bands to play, as one was playing while I was there for their 2 year anniversary (congrats!). What was nice is although I could hear the band (it was playing in the back and I was up front), it wasn't over whelming me. I have eaten places where, no matter where you sit, it's extremely loud, and I appreciated that you had a choice here. Now onto the food: The food should have been doomed to fail; my tastebuds were prepared to eat sweet, buttery, syrupy French toast with a mocktail at brunch elsewhere. But wasn't hyped about the menu because of this (which is not dog and pony's fault .. I had to work and didn't have time to research where else brunch was available). I settled on the umami smashburger by a suggestion of my waitress. Now once again, could have been doomed to fail as I'm not a French fry person and my favorite cheeseburger is one I make on my own. BUT WOW their food blew me away and made me forget all about my brunch let-down. The French fries were fantastic and had a great seasoning on them! The smashburger was great to the last bite .. and I was NOT expecting to finish it as it was a really nice portion (I ate lunch now 10 hours ago and didn't need to eat again it was so filling!) but it was so dang gone good I sure finished it! Smoked cheddar .. chimichuri aioli ... kimchi bacon jam .. oh ya that bacon jam was EVERYTHING!! Thank you to the staff at Dog and Pony for making my long drive worth while!

    We were in town for the week & after a long day of traveling & a crappy experience at our hotel,…read morethe Hyatt Regency in Buffalo. We ventured out into downtown area to grab a drink & hopefully find a spot still serving food. We stumbled across House of Charm while searching online info for something nearby. The exterior is unassuming but easy to spot & the delightful interior was funky, fun & welcoming. Music wasn't insanely loud but was there & the number of interesting "charms" sprinkled throughout the establishment were a total gas. My favorite was the deconstructed Barbie parts displayed on small hooks at the end of the bar. The staff was lovely & came over to greet us in a timely manner. Assured us that they still had a late night menu & then we got to have THE BEST SPICY MARGARITAS EVER!!! The paninis were also yummy & we each got a piece of chocolate & a Dum Dum included on our plates for dessert. But seriously! The spicy margarita! Was absolute Fire I love spicy & am often disappointed if I'm trying a Spicy Marg out & about. Even if I ask for extra spicy...it never really is. But this guys Spicy Margarita was AMAZING!! Both myself & my husband (who doesn't love spicy like I do) were able to enjoy the drinks. They were spicy enough that I enjoyed them & the flavor profile was still balanced & delicious so my hubby was also a huge fan. Of all the places we got to try while in Buffalo, House of Charm was by far my favorite!

    Came here for a happy hour and had a great experience! We were with a group and the bartender was…read moresuper attentive and quick to get us drinks. The drink menu has a good variety of drinks with reasonable prices. Atmosphere is cool too.

On Wednesdays they…read morehave 75 cent wings and if you order enough of them, you'll be in the newest wing club in Buffalo. I have always liked the wings here, I just always get distracted by all the other good food like the burgers and chicken fingers. But their wings are one of my favorite in all of Buffalo. They have so many good flavors but I ended up going with the kickin bourbon bbq and some medium this time. Service here is always fast and they really have perfected the customer service factor. The vibes here always have me with the nostalgia of the old restaurants and bars from way back. It's great with all the TVs and decor. This is what they mean by hidden gem. Great spot with great service and food. You can't go wrong here.

They have a TON of flavors to choose from. We love the Jamaican jerk sauce and now get it on our chicken sandwiches and wraps. I've also tried and enjoyed the hot garlic sauce. The wings are 75 cents with some specialty sauces at a slightly higher price. We also enjoy the Thursday special that is $12 burgers, chicken sandwiches, and chicken wraps! Includes fries and a pickle. I've tried several of the chicken wraps and my favorite is the Island Blitz with no tomato. We will soon come for the new Monday taco special! (They are closed on Tuesdays) Mark the bartender is both friendly and attentive. We've even had the pleasure of talking to Steve the cook who makes the delicious food. There are other items I want to try on the menu, but it's hard because I love that wrap so much. I'm so glad we decided to stop for those wings because now this is one of our regular dining spots. Check it out you won't be disappointed.
