A great little spot on Allen and the best beer/shot special in town.
Awesome bar amazing bartending even if it is busy.

Cool place, trendy bar! Good beer selection
the best bar where you won't be bothered and can chill till the time u want to go home no one will disturb or bother you
Always a good time, bartenders are amazing.
Great place to visit Love going here every week
Nice spot just becarefull of the rampant drug dealers and panhandlers it turned ghetto on allen st.
The Alley Cat's grilled cheese Thursdays are the highlight of my week .
Cool, chill & good- Jay the bartender is 👍
Favorite space to hang during the Allentown Art Festival.
I love the misspellings all over the menu and beer list
Good beer Sunday through Thursday
Nice place bartenders are very nice
bartender christian is the absolute best. his service is extraordinary & is handsome. highly recommend
Well where do I begin with my experience at the alley cat let’s start at the door where I was greeted by a handsome gentleman in chucks named Doug Lis Lis the best bouncer this side of the Mississippi he kept me and my guest safe and sound . he also kept the chil-ren out!
Nice little corner bar, the Tuesday open mike had some surprisingly good singers. The bartender was really on top of his service.
Closed for good as I hear the owner passed away. But was a great place to start a night on allen and also a great place for a light open mic to begin your week
Eclectic group of people with a chill vibe. Inexpensive drinks and even had some IPA's in the cooler.
So much fun! Great ppl, extremely packed, good music and all out a fun time!
DO NOT WORRY! This rickety old building in the bustling, bar hopping and edgy Allentown area of Buffalo is home to a real scene. You will see a crowd of smokers in the front of the place. As you make your way in you will see a large dark chamber with standing room only and a small cubby off to the right for the DJ. This place is edgy and you really feel that you can be yourself here. It caters towards a very alternative crowd.
Not too busy, instant service. Strong drinks, cool atmosphere. Edit: with limited resources and only lime flavor this bad ass bartender whipped up the best drink I've ever had. Stop here if you're in the allen town area.
They don't officially have a menu ... one of the bartenders may make food during their shift .. check Facebook for that ... went during the Allentown Art Fest... busy but still room at the bar and service was great as usual ... Amanda was bartending
Great trivia night on Wednesday and bartender Amanda served some great drinks!
My second living room before I moved. Warm atmosphere, small but powerful kitchen. Amazing drink specials and usually quiet enough to actually relax
Very cozy place. Everyone is very welcoming. No food here. But restaurants near by you can bring food in to eat.
Great place if ya wanna just chill and enjoy the night!!

Dyngusday Stop
Good cheap drinks. Friendly bartenders.
Good people and service
I love the Allentown area the atmosphere is cozy I really like all the antique picturesgood selection of beers for sale
Good people, cold beer and trivia night rocks!
Very reasonably priced drinks. Most people rave about the Mac and cheese.
Drinks were well priced, nice location.
It's a buffalo bar. It's nicer than pink and Nietzsche's, that's for sure.
Great frozen drink specials for happy hour
Love the shot and beer for $7 deal
Easy going neighborhood pub. Eclectic mix of patrons. Pub food. Drink specials. Nice location, unpretentious and just a great hang out bar. 4 out of 5 stars because table service is limited.
Its a really easy place to just walk up to the bar, grab a seat and relax. A lot of old timey adverts and stuff on the wall. The bartenders are friendly and attentive. Drawback is there are no taps for beer, just bottles
Fun little dive bar in Allentown. My wife and I were there during the early evening and we enjoyed ourselves and chatted up with the few locals that were there. Apparently it’s a late night hang-out but that’s not our jam.
We've been her 3 time over the course of the last 2 weeks. It's quickly becoming a go to place. Decent beer selection, though not much on tap. Food is simple but hits the spot. Good music and great view of Allen. Bartenders are nice and quick with a shot.

Great... besides the 2nd hand mace.
Fun
Bartenders are very friendly and the place is a good place to start for a "night out on Allen"
Cool place but not my favorite.
Only been in here once bc I was trying to waste time before a concert. It's a cute little place and the decore is interesting. The bartenders were so nice but the drinks were hit or miss.
Typical dive bar. Music is to loud, don't think they offer food. Everyone was nice. If you want a dive bar it's probably great

A friendly dive bar
Kinda wack
This bar is disgusting
Dirty dirty dirty dirty weird dirty dirty dirty
Interesting enough place. Not for guys into guys, or guys over thirty, though...
Bartender Marie was rude, disrespectful, and drunk. Never again! Tons of other places to go on Allen
Was in the other night as me and my group always go. Antoinet I believe her name is though it was a good idea to flip off my friend for leaving the door open. She then skipped all of our songs. When I asked for my bill she told me I needed to sign it or get another drink because there is a time limit. When I was leaving g she then smilled and flipped me off. We did nothing wrong we even bought her shots. Needless to say this bartender is terrible. She couldn't make a drink to save her life.
This place used to be great. There used to be awesome food, friendly bartenders. Now no food, bartenders have no personality. Said thank you to bartender she says "uh huh". And she burnt the popcorn!
Go to Frizzy’s for a good time if you prefer variety over ordinary…👎 Place is usually dead, bartenders press on customers to provide tip even though they don’t know it’s cash.. sad really There is a certain greedy individual who can’t tell between physical or digital tips in literal dollars either way. To think that the person is in their mid 40s and still has trouble knowing whether being taxed or not can help this individual out🤣 BTW: They have a sing-song, sing-a-long band for anyone to listen to just to drown their sorrows in I had a disappointing experience with one of the staff members, who seemed to expect a certain type of tip and became upset when I didn't meet their expectations. I was surprised by their reaction, especially given their experience in the industry.
If I could give zero stars I would. Overall the staff was nice but the manager or owner, Drew I believe his name is, is unbelievably rude! He argued with some customer who had asked him to wear a mask properly! If you're going to be running any establishment and enforcing CDC guidelines then please do so yourself! My friends and I will not be returning to this place if management treats customers this way!
This place occasionally tries to be a music venue even though there are not equipped to handle hosting musical acts. My band tried to play here and it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. Their one redeeming quality is that they are semi-inexpensive for drinks but there are seriously so many other bars to choose from, especially on Allen.
Horrible experience. I was washing my hands in the bathroom and one of the bartenders with tattoos on his arms asked me to not pee in the sink. He realized I wasn’t peeing on the sink and walked away. Didn’t apologize and totally violated my privacy. To be hosnest I’m not sure if I was being targeted for being Mexican. Probably bartenders should not be drinking while they’re working.
