Very good beer selection and large food menu with many daily specials make this one of the destinations for craft beer enthusiasts (the other being Blue Monk). Often have special cask nights (Ballast Point) with rare offerings.

Have been about a dozen times. Looks like your typical pub inside. Others at the bar were fairly talkative. Service was fairly good. Tap selection is good but not quite at Pizza Plant or Blue Monk level. Enjoyed a couple Ommegangs. Parking in the area is pretty tough to come by on weekends. Bruschetta burger was pretty tasty.

A half mile up the road from Blue Monk. The taplist here is mostly (if not entirely) US beers, but they still have a great selection to choose from. I did not sample the food, but they were clearly doing a pretty brisk restaurant business.

Went here mid to late afternoon to beat the heat. Crowd at the bar was locals chewing the shit. Large selection of american brewed beers on tap save 2 imports. Service was good an attentive. Beer served in proper glasswear. Food was standard pub grub but well prepared. A bit pricey but all in all a cool spot.

What a great spot. Good mixed crowd, although after 12am it was on the younger side, but what place isn’t at that hour? Great tap list with lots of range. I didn’t look at the bottle list at all.

Great spot - some of the best pub food I’ve had. Promising tap list - Coles and Blue Monk are probably the only beer spots you want to check out in Buffalo.

Douchebagery bar with what seemed to me to be a fucking top notch tap list...I ventured in on a ithaca brewing tap takeover so they had a shit load of unrated and very tasty ithaca brews but they also had some pretty solid other beers as well that I can’t remember...it just seemed a comfortable place that I could sit at the bar and drink good beer while douchers hurry past behind me...I was only there for 2 beers but I got a sense that if I still lived in the b-lo, id be here a lot...just a gut feeling, but whatevs.

Great place to visit in b-town. Surprising selection of excellent beer and good food. Waitress was very helpful and friendly. It’s a shame I don’t visit more often.
