    The penalty box - 16" pepperoni & cheese
    Michael H.

    Interesting pizza. Crust is very garlic heavy. Not sure if recommend this one, but glad I tried it.

    Came in here for bite to eat and a few drinks after a rousing hour of ice bumper cars downstairs. We were a large group, of 11 people. Our waitress was great, she handled our size by pushing tables together and was even willing to split checks for us as requested. Despite the large order, all of our food came out at the same time give or take a minute or two and it was still hot. Impressive! Popular items ordered among our table included the Bradshaw wrap, the fried Mac and Cheese appetizer, and the smoked wings. I really liked the hockey theme in the place, the walls scream hockey with the decor and the menu items are cleverly named after hockey lingo and players names (ie The Perreault). Personally, my husband and I did a little sharing and split ten of the root beer bbq smoked wings, along with the fried Mac and cheese app and an order of fries (battered fries, the fresh!). The Mac and cheese bites boast about having six cheeses in them on the menu. Maybe I was starving, but I thought I could taste at least four of them, which ain't bad! They were served with this buffalo dipping sauce that was perfect for them. The wings were good, not as good as other smoked wings I've had, but good. The sauce was sweet and smoky, a little more root beer flavor would have been welcome! Overall we had a really good experience here. Prices were reasonable, service was great, and the food was good. We are likely to return after other bumper car experiences!

    Great atmosphere at this little spot. Food has been decent the few visits I have enjoyed, and the staff are always friendly. Stop in to watch some local ice, or even enjoy your own depending on the day and time of your visit.

    Good staff. Good food. Prices are good. Good selection of craft beer on tap and in bottles. There is a decent sized menu. They have specials during the week off foods. A happy hour for drinks every day as well. There are plenty of TVs for all the big games. They also offer a catering menu if you would like to have a party at the arena. Calzone is pretty good just wish it had ricotta in it. The grilled cheese is good and so is the new Mac and cheese bites. They recently updated their menu with some new items. They self large pizzas and half pizzas.

    Across. Bar. Cool place right next door to 2 ice rinks... Perfect name and location

    Bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. The food is incredible. If you're looking for a good sports bar and Lockport, this is the one.

    Loved the outdoor rooftop bar but was very disappointed with the "jumbo" wings. Some of the smallest wings I've seen in the area.

    Stooges was well worth the visit. Located in the old City Hall, the architecture is unique and…read moreaccommodating, serving as a cool reminder of Lockport's local history. The food is the definition of "bang for your buck." I tried the chicken burger, which came stuffed with shredded steak and peppers. It was honestly larger than expected, and relatively inexpensive considering the portion size. The Highlights: * Unique Atmosphere: You can really feel the history of the old City Hall building. * The Food: Generous portions that don't break the bank. * Drink Selection: They have a surprisingly good beer list for a casual spot. Service: Wait staff were good and attentive. It's nothing "fancy" by any means, but it's a quality spot right in the heart of town. My only gripes were that the bar area felt a bit small for the space, and it was surprisingly quiet for a Sunday afternoon. This place deserves more attention, and could see the same setting packed if it were in East Aurora or Elmwood

    The food was very good. I appreciated the pretzels they gave us at the beginning but the bottoms…read morewere kind of soggy because of the jar being wet. The lemonade was good. I had the build you own Mac and cheese that was good but it's so big for one person and had an overwhelming amount of cheese. The onion rings are so very good though. They had a lot of vegetarians option. The ambiance was great with a medium amount of people. It is not wheelchair accessible though because of the stairs in the entrance. The service was average they were a little slow but pleasant. I would recommend.
