A a very attentive and pleasant Server handled the entire place by herself efficiently. The coffee was strong, which I like. I had a bacon and egg sandwich and coffee and I was able to spread out my papers on a clean Surface to prepare for a meeting that was coming up. The environment was noisy, but with friendly voices from a largely local crowd, which wasn't distracting at all. I was able to refill my coffee cup at no extra charge. Parking was easy, right outside the very wide street accommodates cars parked perpendicular to the establishment right in the middle of the street. Nice place. I'll be back.

Food is excellent as is the price! It's a bar with pool tables and dining tables and a full bar.read more

We selected Finnerty's Tap Room for an early Saturday evening dinner based on the promise that they…read moreGluten Free very seriously (I found this claim on their website). Finding any GF options when visiting small towns can be a challenge so I'm really thankful to have found Finnerty's! We ordered: - Jalapeño Poppers (for my gluten-consuming husband) - Stuffed Banana Peppers (Gluten Free) - Chicken Wings ordered well done with hot sauce (Gluten Free) - Smash Burger on Gluten Free Sesame Bun & Chips - Hamburg Carrot Cake Brown Ale (for my Gluten-consuming husband) There were only 3 Jalapeño Popper left so our server didn't charge us for them. They were your run-of-the-mill frozen poppers; nothing special. The Stuffed Banana Peppers were a special for the day and they were pretty delicious. They were cheesy, stuffed with sausage and topped with a delicious tomato red sauce. The Chicken Wings were well done, as we requested but were average which was a surprise considering all of the claims to be award winning. The Gluten Free Sesame Bun was one of the best GF buns I've had but the burger patties were average. The meat didn't seem like it was seasoned but the cheese and grilled onions helped add some flavor. Not worth $15.95, in my opinion especially because you have to pay $1.50 each for any additional toppings and it only comes with generic potato chips. The Hamburg Carrot Cake Brown Ale was listed on the draft beer list but was served in a can. Our server was attentive and had a kind/sweet personality. Here's a few highlights about the space: - Pool Table - Golden Tee Golf Video Game - Hockey Foosball Table Game - Old Arcade Video Game - 8+ TVs; I believe they're usually tuned into sports. - Music was really loud; it was somewhat difficult to hear our server. Overall, I would come here again when visiting Ellicottville and try other menu items - like the Gluten Free Pizza and whatever their daily special happens to be.

For apps, we got the cheese curds & chicken wings. While the curds were just ok, the wings were delicious! They were crispy but still moist & had a good amount of sauce.

We loved them and I think my 1 bad experience was just a fluke! The lady running it herself even rearranged seating for us all to sit together which was so kind of her. Totally different experience than before. Our 9 orders were completely accurate, our 9 drinks were kept full, and we only had a 22 minute wait on our 9 meals which is not bad at all considering they had 9 of us, another birthday party, a full bar, and other people dining. Everyone except 1 person absolutely LOVED their meal and can't wait to go back. My niece said her sandwich was soggy, but had great flavor so she'll just get a burger next time instead. 1/2 Italian sub: 10/10 amazing fresh roll, fresh produce, and great portion of meat. 3 Chicken finger baskets with fries: 9.5/10 these were great! The tenders weren't soggy or dry and the fries were great! Great meat flavor and texture! We'll just remember to order them saucier next time. Amazing thick ranch and sauces! 2 country sandwiches: 8/10 my niece and brother liked the flavor, they just said the produce made it very messy(juices were squashing out onto the plate every bite) soggy half way through so they'll order it with just onion straws next time or go with a burger instead. Steakhouse burger: 10/10 absolute perfection! Mushroom melt burger: 10/10 absolute perfection! When I got this years ago it was a dry crisp hockey puck with no flavor, my dad gave me a bite of his and this one was so juicy and flavorful. I'm getting that again now! Perfect amount of mushrooms and cheese! Delicious! Garbage burger: 10/10 absolute perfection! Great flavors! Everyone left happy and will be back! Thanks for making my dad's birthday party so special!
