All affordable to play Lots of cold beer options Fun atmosphere First visit to the new arcade area: They had a ton of games and the employee behind the counter was super kind and patient with my kids. I think there was a birthday party going on. Nobody could really confirm if we were allowed to play so we stayed. Games were brutally short and expensive. I cannot recommend bringing young kids here. Not that a pool hall is necessarily where they should be to begin with. I wish they had an unlimited play option. Awesome hangout spot or place to bring a date. Leave the little kids at home.

We were there on a Monday night and there were a couple of people on the floor fixing pinball machines. It's really cool to have an active person working to fix them, I'm sure it takes a lot of manage with as many pinball machines as they have. The one thing is they are a bit rude. Twice we were playing a machine and were asking to move because they were trying to get by with tools or another machine. And when your actively in a game of pinball you can't stop or you will lose so pretty rude they didn't just wait for you to be done or come back when the walkway was clear. My favorite machines are Metallica, Scooby-doo and fun house. Those were the most fun. The fun house machine particularly I thought was in very good shape, Scooby-doo is pretty cool also. I couldn't leave buffalo without having buffalo wings and even though this place isn't know for the that the food was surprisingly good and cheap. We got 10 wings and I split them with my husband. They were mild. Def spicy but not too too spicy and the wings were super crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. Blue cheese was good too and they gave baby carrots. When they came out they were steaming hot. You could literally see the steam come off of them. Wished we lived here so we could come more often!

Overall a super chill and casual place and I've always had a good time here. I'll be back again sometime soon I'm sure!

I first started playing billiard when I was a teen - back then we only knew it as "pool" - and…read moreuntil I discovered the Hippodrome, about 10 years ago, each place with tables was sanitized, i.e., each gave the impression of being someone's basement made into a game room. Ah, then there is the Hippodrome. Its many "I've seen quite a few players in my day" Brunswick tables, players who are more like characters that could be extras in "The Hustler," vintage photos of players and furniture from days gone by, and the wonderfully amiable and helpful greeters/owners Andy and his grandfather define the Hippodrome as the only venue where one should pursue billiards. And the bonus: play here a few times and you have a community of billiard-focused friends. The bottom line: the Hippodrome is a jewel of Western New York. Errol Craig Sull
