tito1 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Heading to the game and staying at the Adams Mark this weekend for the game. I am not from Buffalo so I was hoping some people could suggest some things for me to do on Saturday. I like to drink, watch sports, check out cool bars/clubs, walk around mall (my wife will be with me), stuff like that. Any specific part of town or places to recommend? I was going to try anchor bar, I saw man vs food was there haha. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Anchor Bar is good, Duffs may be better but i guess its a matter of opinion. Lots of good food in Buffalo. If you want to drink Chipewa St is always fun or Elmwood if your looking for something more low key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 How old are you guys? What type of bar scene do you like? Check out duffs for wings, pearl street brewery for a fun bar and for a mall the galleria in cheektowaga has the best selection of stores Best advice for buffalo is nothing is more than 20 mins away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the only decent tavern within walking distance is Pearl St Brewery. Take a cab up to Chippawa or Allen streets to find the nightlife. There is supposed to be a new comedy club opening on Mississippi St. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5 Wide Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Weather looks pretty nice, can always head north and go to the Falls, maid of the mist and whirlpool jet boat ride, then head down to Chippewa at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Albright Knox Art Gallery. Probably best to hit it Sunday afternoon... If you're into museums definitely check out Burchfield Penney across the street, then head to the Blue Monk down Elmwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to drink Chipewa St is always fun or Elmwood if your looking for something more low key No, no, no! I was in Buffalo about a week and a half ago and by far the best wings I've ever had in Buffalo are @ BARBILL in East Aurora. i got 10 med and a decent beef on weck. Unreal how good they were.

Jamie Nails Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'm 30 too and come in from CA a few times a year. As I have grown older, i have grown to like the Allen Town (off Delaware) bars. I'm heading to town on Thursday- see you at the bars and in the parking lot at the Ralph bright an early.

tito1 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Nice. If any of you guys have facebook, add me. Holler at me if you see me out in Buffalo, I'll buy you a beer! http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=12454206 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Albright Knox Art Gallery. Probably best to hit it Sunday afternoon... This will be going on all day Saturday behind the Art Gallery and is organized by one of the Goo Goo Dolls: http://www.musicisart.org/Festival.html Catch a cab for some music in the afternoon/early evening, then pub crawl it back down Elmwood starting at Goodbars near Forest and Elmwood (10 minute walk from the festival), then stop next door at Coles (a Buffalo institution with excellent wings too). Blue Monk is about a 10 minute walk south, but there are a couple of nice joints between Coles and Monk. From Monk, another 10 minutes will get you to Faherty's, where a Murphy's is good bet, or Casa di Pizza across the street has a good beer selection and good food. Another 15 minute walk will get you to Allentown. Stop for a beef Kalbi taco and margarita at Cantina loco while you decide if you should go east or west on Allen for the next beer. Hardware Cafe is the best beer selection going west, and Colter Bay is the best going east (on the corner of Allen and Delaware). At this point, you are another 10-15 minute walk to Chippewa, and you are getting closer to home. End the evening walking down pearl to the pearl street brewery, another 10-15 minute walk. Enjoy.

kasper13 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'd stay off of Chippewa. It's really fallen off in the last few years. Go to Allen Street instead. Make a right out of the Anchor Bar on Main, make another right onto Allen Street. Pick a bar, any bar, They are all "dive" bars but they are the best in the City. Have fun. For a "sports" bar you will have to go to the burbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsurdam Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I've had wings at Duffs & The Anchor Bar and still think the best wings are at The Buffalo Brewpub on Main St. In Williamsville. They have by far the meatiest & tastiest wings. They also have a large selection of beers and a great sports bar. You won't be disappointed...

Dr. Fong Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Make sure you get a beef on weck. My personal favorite is Charlie the Butcher. Oh and when you eat the sandwich make sure you put horseradish on it even if you don't think that you like horseradish. It's an essential part.
