Ballyhoo Buffalo Reviews
A sports bar with some delicious food, located near KeyBank center, which makes it a perfect pit stop before a Sabres or Bandits game - or even a destination in and of itself. Sausages come with seasoned potato chips and some housemade pickles, but there are other sides you can order as well. The sausage options are all top notch and they're seriously loaded with toppings.
It’s all about the vibe and the house made sausages. Also, good beer and cocktails too. Patio is dog friendly too
Awesome sausage, uniquely delicious cocktails made with preserves, with Millennial rock anthems playing all night!
I live in Tucson now but when I'm in Buffalo this is the first thing on my mind: the korean short rib sausage. Not my family and friends, but this sausage. So good.
Well well well. Just impressive Mac and cheese. An operation that knows Al dente. And grasps its supreme importance when it comes to Mac and cheese. Truly spectacular. The gin blueberry drink I had was precious as well. I will definitely be making a special trip back to ballyhoo.
i bring everyone who visits me from outside of buffalo here. sausages are so so good. when it’s busy they announce the orders on a microphone it’s pretty cool
This is a popular spot for drinks and cocktails. They also have good non-alcoholic beers. They have a great outdoor patio area, also with a TV. It is a perfect place to hang out at in the summer. Unfortunately, this place is not handicapped accessible as you have to walk up stairs to get in.
Wow—my sister-in-law raved about this place, and we finally went to check it out… and let me just say, it did not disappoint! I’ve passed by so many times without realizing that this spot is a true hidden gem right here in Buffalo. It’s in the perfect location, totally walkable if you’re in the mood to bar hop and explore the neighborhood. The food? Fresh and absolutely delicious. The drinks? Incredible. They truly redefine versatility anything you can dream up, they’ve got it, and they do it right. How delightful… with a side of happy! Can’t wait to come back again. This place has earned a top spot on my go-to list!
Ballyhoo is a solid spot if you're looking for great food, a chill atmosphere, and a place to hang with friends. The creamy shell mac & cheese was super comforting, and the TJ Dawg (a chorizo, pork, and bacon sausage topped with pico, crema, cotija, and avocado) was packed with flavor--definitely a standout. We grabbed a table on the patio, watched the Bandits game, brought our own card games, and just hung out for a few hours. It was relaxed and fun, perfect for a weekend evening. The cocktails were great, but the jam cocktails were next level--sweet, unique, and dangerously easy to drink. Also, the ice cream sandwich? Absolutely massive. Like, split-with-a-friend big. Overall, highly recommend if you're looking for good eats, good drinks, and a low-key place to enjoy both.
OK, didn't know this was a thing here in Buffalo. Amazing cocktails (and menu to guide your choice) made by true professionals. And HOME MADE SAUSAGE artisan style - so good! Easy, comfortable, conversational space. Love it!
The staff is welcoming, the food and cocktails are top notch and the atmosphere is great. Will definitely be returning soon!!!
Idk what it is, but these are literally the only sausages I eat, every one of them is delicious. My only grievance is I want to choose every single side but can only realistically eat 1-2. If it's your first time, get the mac and cheese! The food and cocktails are top tier ✨
We tried to go on a Friday night for a bite to eat, but ended up moving on. Too crowded and loud, not much seating except at the bar, and at the time we went, there wasn’t any there. Good for them! Came back for lunch cause we had to try those sausages and I’m glad we did. Try one of their jam cocktails, they are lovely.
Wow!! I’m so happy I finally got a chance to get down here. Don’t be fooled by the address, this location is as every bit of downtown as possibly can be. I ordered: - The Short Round -Side of Slaw -Side of Mac (to go) - (2) Frostbite (cocktails POUR-a-good cause) This gem is situated nicely on the corner of South Park & Michigan Ave. Parking is okay, not great, but that’s downtown for ya. The bar staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. I saw on SNS that the special drink was going to have $1 donated to a charitable organization (Feed More WNY) and really loved that concept. The sausage was cooked well and loaded with toppings and the slaw was extraordinary! I will absolutely be returning! Thanks for a great time Ballyhoo!
Phenomenal. I'm sad I waited so long to try this place. I ordered the short rib sausage, which was delicious and had that crunch of crisp in every bite. Their chips were tasty too. I'm looking forward to trying their cocktails.
Great drinks. Love the jam session where the bartender makes something for you based on a spirit and jam flavor you choose. And the short rib dog and Mac n cheese are insanely delicious. The veggie dog is really good too! Great option for vegetarians or anyone! Love this spot
The food and drinks were delicious, we got the mac and cheese with some spritzers. I'd say the pricing was fair for the quality, it was nice being out in the patio, the staff were friendly. Only reason for the 4 stars is the music was just so overbearing we had to shout at each other to talk which wasnt super pleasant.
Food was delicious. Good portion sizes. I guess because we were not having alcohol no one ever checked on us even though we were sitting at the bar.
Ordered on-line take out. The ordering was really easy and straightforward. Had their Reggie Veggie sausage. It was OUTSTANDING! One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend.
Stopped in here before a concert for a bite and a drink. Food was delicious and worth the wait, even with the small menu. Drinks were exotic and well-made. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only miss was the price tags - everything was a bit expensive per person; otherwise wonderful experience!
My daughter and I went here for a drink after her appointment at Roswell Nice little celebration I had the chili which was very good and she had the vegetable sausage with chips. The drinks were extremely good we had the gin old maids 12.00 each. There is outdoor seating we sat at the bar and there was no wait when we arrived approximately 5:00. They have a private parking lot that you can pull in and park with no effort. There are stairs going up to the second floor where you order your food so I would not say this is an easily accessible place for handicap patrons
Food was good, drinks were good. A little spendy. The restrooms were trashy. Tasteless Graffiti, full of hate messages. I thought at first the owner can’t help it but he could easy get a cane of brake clean and a towel to clean it off. That was my only complaint. Not sure it would be wheelchair accessible either.
Walked over from Helium comedy club to grab a drink and a sausage after the show because we have been before and know the food and drinks are great usually. We were "greeted" by the rudest women I have ever encountered! Screamed at us as we walked up that no outside drinks, mind you I was drinking a bottle of water and would have gladly got rid of if she would just told me nicely. We asked why she needed to be so rude to us and all she had to do was ask us to get rid of the drink? She said I ain't rude, we said we were going to leave and she said okay leave bye! Not sure how a business stays open when you treat people like that. Very disappointing because again we have had the food and drinks and always been satisfied with them, but I honestly don't think I will ever go back and will be sure to tell my friends .
