Seanbillsfan2206 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Where is a good spot to watch the draft from? I’m looking at hotels online but I want to be walking distance from wherever I’m hanging out at. I was thinking 716 but I don’t really want to spend 200 bucks to stay at the Marriott, although that probably would be the best spot. Thoughts?

Stanley Lombardi Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Santora's, within walking distance of the Marriott on Millersport Ave., would be a good choice (I think). Edited April 8, 2018 by Blue on Blue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a cheaper hotel further up main, like the Hyatt or Holiday Inn, then take the free train down to 716. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir andrew Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Is Riverworks putting on a draft party? They got all sorts of space and you could probably at least find a place to sit over there as opposed to 716. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbillsfan2206 Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 The more I’m looking, I’m thinking the TGI Friday’s by the galaria mall. Hampton inn right next to it for 100 bucks a night. Or is that lame? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 For the sake of all things Holy, please don’t come to Buffalo and go to TGI Friday’s. Amherst Ale House is my pick.

Stay downtown at a 3 and half star hotel for $75 on Priceline, go to 716 or river works. If you are not sure how to use priceline and the express deal feature, PM and I can help ya walk through it.

PLuys, I have been staying at Priceline name your own price/express deals for at least 10 years, at least 10 times per year, and have only been disappointed maybe two times where i thought the star level was off. Put it to you this way..you are willing to spend $100 and go to TGI Friday by a freaking mall , how bad can a hotel , any hotel, in downtown Buffalo be compared to that? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadLandsMeanie Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I would say Magaddino's. They have all the TVs plus a nice menu. You can order Squealer on a Slab, which is of course pork loin baked on a cedar plank. Or the Skewered Stool Pigeon which is a fresh never frozen Cornish game hen that was strangled to order and then cooked on a spit with herbs.

Anchor Bar on Maple isn't attentive to sporting events so avoid that place. Definitely don't go to Friday's. Actually a really good spot might be Elmo's on Millersport Highway. Kalil Mack and other UB athletes used to and still go to Elmo's. It should be a good atmosphere and they have great wings. Get the double dipped cajun wings.

akcash Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) You could stay at I believe it's the holiday Inn by the right aid by Delaware and north... then you could go to the Lennox Grill (or just stay at the Lennox Hotel) around the corner on north... should be a lot of other bars around there too... there's that Irish bar on the corner of Delaware and Allen which is right down the street... I think it's called mcgruders or something... always was pretty comfortable place to chill. Both of those have good size bars... or you could stay by main and transit and go to the brew pub...
