Del Denby Tavern Buffalo Reviews
Always a time at Del’s! Great bartenders, great crowds, backyard area is a nice spot to hang too!
Always a time at Del’s! Great bartenders, great crowds, backyard area is a nice spot to hang too!
The people at dels are the absolute best. Always a great experience when i come in. 10/10
Had a great time watching the Bills game there!
I am a regular here and I won't stop being any time soon. The workers are nice and funny. The owner is an angel and so is his family. The atmosphere varies on time of day and day of the week so it's always an adventure walking in the door. The patio is the place to be all year round (they have a fireplace outside for the cold seasons). I love it. Recommend it to everyone.
Del's combines the love of an old school bar with the awesome and modern new changes the owner has added. Bowling for a quarter, cheap drinks and great staff can only be overshadowed by the new outdoor space. There is a pool table with TV's umbrella tables, and a new fireplace going in. Well done Del Denby. Tradition meets awesome
Got a big ol pitcher of Labatt for me and two other men. The graffiti in the stall was not rude or anything and references movies so if your a film buff go take a shidd in there and read some of it! Sabres on TV! Music was good, some hits and some deep tracks only real fans might know! Drank two pitchers of beer after filling up on wings and pizza and some soda and I had coffee in the day earlier too and it was all washed down by that beer we bought at Del,s! I had been sick from Burger from two days before Kansas but it was gone by last night. Pizza and soda and wings were not from Dels but I bet they coulda made some too but it’s just not what they do. It’s a great great bar and great bars make great memories. Bartenders were tall and had hats on and you could tell they cared about beer and customers and the Sabres game is always on. Stop on by! Sabres lost but it wasn’t anyone there’s fault and basically the Sabres do a good job but Jesus said “can’t win em all.” They have water too if you don’t like beer or are just taking it easy.
This is a wonderful neighborhood I experience. There's an older crowd in the morning and daytime I changes into a younger fabulous crowd. Dogs are welcome as long and they're tame.
Smaller place but lots of fun. Great prices, attentive bar tenders. It has darts, bowling and a cool patio. Big TVs for watching the game. I'll be coming back.
A great bar with a great selection of beers and spirits and great bar tenders. Not a good place for wine though. Does not serve food but right in the middle of several good restaurants with an extensive take out menu

Brendan AKA "Swords" and "Boots Boy" has a nice Newfoundland dog.

They have an awesome back patio area (hidden gem) with games and fire pits. There's no food there, but the drinks are poured.
Dels is a classic Neighborhood Dive Bar. They only serve the minimum snack foods but they do allow food to be brought in. The bar area has a great 40s feel. The outdoor space is 5 star with TV and bar.
I had never been to DD's before last year, when they had already completed their renovation, so I have no basis of compariosn from what it was like before until now. However now, it is a fantastic bar with a great atmosphere and the front & back patio areas are beautiful. Nice staff, good beer selection and prices, and far enough down Hertel to be able to easily find parking.
If you're looking for a place to have a "great" night and a terrible morning with cheap drinks, this is as good a place as any. Biggest critique is the limited menu. If you want beer and shots, you're good, but ask for even the SIMPLEST of cocktails and you'd think you have asked the bartender for a goose who lays golden eggs. It's not my kind of place, but if it's yours, it's more than good enough. 4/5

Food was not very good. Dark atmosphere. More of a bar drinkers vibe. Not my thing
I've only been to dels as a late night experience but every time I've been there it has been very crowded inside bar area and usually just end up standing around outside in the back garden area. the bathroom was absolutely disgusting and literally made one guy gag in there like they haven't cleaned it in the last 2 years. not much going for the place unless you like to hang out outside
Went there on a random night and the place was dead. Bartender couldn't make an Old Fashioned which i thought was weird, had to ask their friend what was in it before decided they couldn't make it since they don't have bar staples....It's not like I was asking for a Paper Plane. the person serving drinks I wouldn't call a bartender...just a person serving drinks in their free time.
This place has after hours bar vibes. Typically patronized by young 20's ppl. Pro: outdoor patio, cheap drinks good ppl watchin. Con: immature patrons looking to fight

It is what it is. Drinks are cheap, but you pay for what you get. Every beer I had in a bottle was skunked from sitting there for who knows how long. Every beer on tap tasted exactly the same because they haven't clean their lines in who knows how long. Service was rude. It's a dive for a reason. Won't be going back.

The bouncers are on a serious power trip. My friend and I were in the telephone booth and the door to the basement opened because the latch wasn’t shut. He kicked us out for “going in HIS basement” maybe have a sign or a better latch? It’s not hard to appreciate customers I’ve worked in restaurants for years. So many other places to go.
