I can't remember when they changed the name and the bar front. Expand it just went by Pony’s. Near main and Kraus. it was simply too big for just doing chicken wings and they didn’t have a liquor license, I believe, so it was just tough. Quote
Rich Stadium Original Posted October 8, 2023 Posted October 8, 2023 Ahhh...I remember my college days back at the Univerity at Buffalo in the early '80s, when most bars around the Main Street campus had ten cent wing nights, and a pitcher of Genny Cream went under $5......of course the minimum wage was $3.25, gas was $1.25 a gallon, and you could have great seats at a Bills game for under $20..... 3 Quote
mead107 Posted October 8, 2023 Posted October 8, 2023 I love ❤️ Bar Bill Lots of good wings in Buffalo 1 Quote

I'll have to give the wings a try. I've been going to the place for over 20 years and have only ever done the fingers. Appreciate the back story, always cool to know a bit more about a local favorite. 1 Quote

They are diagonally across the street from BarBill in East Aurora. The place is owned and operated by former BarBill employees. Ladies and Gentlemen, their wings here and 100% far superior than anything BarBill can serve. About a 10 minute wait for a seat. The hype is real. Go there and see for yourself Expand Bar Bill are some of the best wings int he country. It's impossible for anything to be 100% better than them. 1 Quote

Is that still a good place? Expand Schwabl's is still there, however, I don't care for them. I find their beef to be both too thick and too fatty. Bar Bill's almost melts in your mouth whereas Schwabl's you have to tear through the beef and it can be quite chewy. Personally, I'll take Bar Bill all day every day over Schwabl's.
