Don't bother playing the juke box and he won't turn it up for you. Only bar where you can hear it over the patrons when there is less than 20 people here.

Yes... the menu is on the wall. So look around while you're waiting for a table! The place is pretty small so be prepared to wait. We waited about 10-15 minutes. It wasn't bad at all, but I can see it getting crowded quickly. We ordered wings and it took a while for them to come out. I kept saying... "it's going to be worth it" knowing they were ranked highly on the Buffalo Wing Coalition site. Our server, Christina, was excellent and kept us occupied with drinks. Drinks were very reasonably priced. (Especially after we just paid $50 for 2 at KeyBank Center ) The wings were definitely worth the wait. They were incredible! Definitely in my top 5. Extra crispy. Garlic parm & mild. We liked both flavors. My uncle said we should've gotten medium because they weren't hot enough. Just the way I like it! We had a super fun time at this place and will definitely be back!

Wow. So let me tell you a story about my first time at Hillikers Pastime…read more It was late on a Wednesday, and my friend and I were leaving a gig at the Sportsmens Tavern, when a girl came by on her bike and said "are you guys going to the party down the block?" We told her we hadn't heard of any party, and she said "Well you should come, they're playing music and having a good time." We got our instruments and followed her lead, but she was too fast, and disappeared, leaving us in front of a barn-looking building with a sign that read "Hilliker's Pastime." We should have gone home, but we felt an auspicious pull inward. We went in, and were transported to another realm. We drank $2 beers and were taught shuffleboard by our enormous bartender. We were hit on - hard - by 45 year old woman who kept asking us to play our instruments (we did.) We witnessed a near bar fight and listened in as an old timer in a 90s-era Buffalo Bills jacket argued about something that I can't remember. We stumbled into the back room and .. well.. around this point the memory gets fuzzy. And I can't tell if I liked Hilliker's pastime or loved Hilliker's pastime. But I will be going back.

So if you're not into dive bars, it isn't the place for you. The bartender was nice, and like most dives, most everyone knew eachother and the atmosphere was extremely friendly and comfortable. I didn't feel mean girl energy. I didn't feel weirded out by any creepy guys. Just good vibes. A good variety of music as well. I rarely drink, but I would happily come here again when in that mood.

We ordered wings, fries, fried pepperoni and many drinks. The wings were solid. We got everything and bbq. The everything is spicy. The rest of the food waa great. I liked the fried pepperoni that were recommended to me. Im recommending them to you. You also get marinara sauce for dipping. Downside. I think my gluten allergies are getting worse because this is a shared fryer and I had small reactions that I wasn't expecting. Bartenders were fun and friendly. It was a great time! Highly recommend for a low key night and solid wings with a bunch of different flavors.
