Thirsty Buffalo Buffalo Reviews
Great place to watch the Bill's games, have dinner or just drinks. Staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. Awesome party atmosphere for the game!!
Can’t say enough great things about this place! New ownership elevated the place back in 2023 and continuously improves. Staff and patrons are friendly. Great spot to watch the Bills and Sabres play!
Best chicken wings I’ve ever had, they blew Bar-Bill away! Great night!!!
best wings in buffalo hands down!! affordable beer and great vibes
Great spot to watch a sports game and get some wings. I usually grab a large order of traditional buffalo, and their blue cheese is amazing.
I stopped in Friday and had a very enjoyable time. Your bartender I think her name is Alicia was great. She was very friendly and professional. She has a great personality. I will definitely come in again because of her.
Love this place! Great place to watch any game and has amazing wings and other food. Great people too. Will keep coming back!
Stopped here to watch the World Series! Great place to view the game. The wings were good but the bartender he was hilarious!! I’ll make sure to stop by the next time I’m buffalo! Thanks for an amazing time!!
I made a reservation for 9 of my friends and I to have lunch here after the pride parade a few weeks ago and we had a great experience! I booked online, called a few days later and since it was my first time there, Brian helped set everything up with me over the phone and made sure we had a table to all sit together on the patio (which was great we still got to watch some of the parade from our table) They played awesome music, the service was friendly and fast! I ordered a BLT and tater tots which were delicious and went great with my drinks from the bar! Thirsty Buffalo is definitely a safe space to visit 😎
Jenna was the Bartender. && the other bartender was so wholesome!! They were both amazing and so much fun. They really helped with the vibe of the bar.. the music was on point. !!! I love this place. I've always loved it since I was in my younger 20's. They serve food til 12am which was perfect for a night of having a few drinks. Food was so good. Prices were perfect.. will be returning !!!
Good vibe! Thirsty Buffalo has a laid-back and friendly atmosphere with great security at the door and welcoming bar staff and patrons. The prices for local IPAs were a bit high at around $8 per pint, even for a Chicagoan. However, even without trying the food, I could tell that this place has a good vibe and is worth checking out for a fun night out. I would recommend Thirsty Buffalo for a casual and enjoyable drink with friends.
The only real positive thing I have to say is that it was karaoke night and we had fun because of that. BUT the food was sub par .. fries came out cold and they told us they would put it back in the oven for us to warm it up.. drinks were decent like any other place. But what really ruined our night was when we were severely over charged. I was out with a friend group from work and there was 5 of us and a 6th later in the evening. When I went to close my tab I was never shown my receipt before my card was charged and when they gave it to me and we noticed the error right away the bartender refused to fix it saying “he’s too busy” and to call in the morning to talk to the manager. So I did and got absolutely no where. Was told I would get a call back that day being he was the only one there at the time. Days later never received a call back. Needless to say that was never dealt with and had to dispute it with my bank. I feel this was very unprofessional and handled poorly. I’ve worked in the service industry most of my life and this could’ve been rectified and saved a group of customers from never returning again.
Almost always a great time. Just not on Tuesdays where you can’t sit at any reserved seats at the bar because of trivia apparently. Also really cool for the bartender to ignore any incoming patrons and poke fun when they walk in confused why there’s reserved seats at the bar and all of six people in the place. Stick to the weekends. Good times.
Decent bar. I haven't been in a while and went to check it out with the new ownership. I believe it's all the same staff otherwise. It was pretty busy, which is good to see. Had a few drinks and tried the wings and pretzel bits. The wings weren't great to be honest and I didn't even finish them. The chicken was cooked, but the skin seemed slimy and soft.
