Great pregame spot or spot to watch any game. Incredible amount of screens and two bars. Huge restaurant, but you WILL need a reservation prior to a game. It’s noisy because of the TVs and so many people, yet still possible to have a conversation without yelling. The menu is limited because they’re serving so many people. Standard sports bar fare. We weren’t thrilled. Shared chicken quesadillas (very average), 10 wings (also very average to slightly below), and beef on week egg rolls (not good at all). Limited wine list. Disappointed in the single Chardonnay choice. All in all, I’d go back because the space is so cool and convenient, but I’d try a burger. Very easy to walk through the parking garage and straight into the hockey arena without going outside!

Good food we all had different items. I think the place is good for game nights. During the Sabres game the atmosphere was electric and really fun. When the Sabres score a goal horn goes off. I really enjoyed the dessert I forget it’s name but it’s Terry or Kim’s favorite that was the star for me. A little pricey but again during a Sabres or bills away game it is worth it. Let’s Go Buffalo!

716 is the Area Code for the entire Buffalo Area and Niagara Falls, its the Ultimate Sports Bar for Bills & Sabres Fans to come, hangout, socialize and watch the Games while having some Drinks and eating Casual Food. Especially with Bars on 2 Levels and 75 Different TV's to watch all the action on (I feel bad for who has to pay the Electric Bill). I wasn't fully aware of this Sports Haven until they exploited their offerings at the Taste of Buffalo over 5 Years ago with their Short Rib Tacos that were braised in Rusty Chain Beer until it was Fall Apart tender. When I was in line to get my first taste of them I was excited, as soon as I got them I sprinkled on a little bit of Fresh Lime Juice and took a Bite. What I got was chewy Meat that tasted a bit Salty, what I was looking forward to in trying was a bit of a Bummer that day. My next opportunity came when I stopped in with my Brother after enjoying some Quality time down at Canalside. We sat up on the 2nd Floor watching a few games on the numerous TVs, Nathan ordered himself a Combo Platter of Beef on Weck Egg Rolls, Buffalo Wings & Onions Rings. I myself decided to take another shot at the Short Rib Tacos with much better results as the Meat was much more Tender with the flavor of the Full Bodied Beer that it was braising was much Better. I had it alongside some Chips with an Asian dipping Sauce and a Blood Orange Margarita to refresh myself with. My 3rd Visit came a year and a half ago as me and my Dad were looking forward to seeing our hometown Lacrosse team, the Buffalo Bandits play for the very 1st time. We ate here before the game started at 7 and the Food was the only thing to keep us off our minds as the fact that the Buffalo Sabres got shut out by Colorado Avalanche by 3 Goals. To take our minds off the loss was Food & Beer, I got the Imperial Oatmeal Stout which had a rich Foamy Head and a deep Coffee flavor and Dad had the Collective Arts Lunch Money Blonde Ale which was light & crisp. Food Wise we shared the Beef on Weck Egg Rolls with Horseradish dipping Sauce, Another riff on the Buffalo Classic. Dad got the Sesame Chicken Salad which was a bit disappointing as they only gave him 3 small pieces of Chicken. I got the Chicken Cutlet Sandwich (breaded in Panko) with Provolone, Spicy Broccolini, Arugula & Peppadew Aioli. The Sandwich and everything on it was Good (not great) but I finished it all, I wished the Aioli was a bit Spicier. But all in all I gotta say that this place is Buffalo Sports Paradise. !!!

At our table of 10 only half of the food came out together. Food was fine but when the bill came it was overpriced for what we got.

This is the place to be when there is game or a fight now, the wings is the best and the beer options is great too. Staff does a great job taking care of you.

Great place to watch games! Good beers too!

If your a sports fan-no matter your team-STOP IN HERE-place is awesome. 2 floors of fun and bars-main floor has the large oversize jumbotron where they can play/broadcast multiple sporting events at one time. You never miss the action-TV's in the booths, bathrooms, floor, etc. The food is fantastic-buffalo chicken wraps and buffalo wings-I think one of the best spots for true authentic food from Buffalo, NY. Always have to make a pit stop here.

Unique place. Always a tradition to stop here at 716 before a hockey game. The kids love it and talk about this place all the time!

The food was excellent. Our server, Caressa, recommended the maple bacon burger which was outstanding. The portions were large and delicious. The atmosphere is a sports bar on steroids! Each booth has its own tv and there are even TVs in the bathrooms. No joke-check it out. And finally, the staff there are amazing. Caressa made sure that our every need was met-from drinks to foods to even suggesting dessert from their on site bakery (although we were to full to try it). The manager, Matt, was also amazing and super accommodating. A great visit!
I really want to love this place because the staff are awesome and it's a really fun atmosphere! But it's so expensive, and the food just hasn't justified the price in my mind yet. Last time I went, I ordered the sesame chicken salad, which was around $14. I got a very small salad, only a little bigger than a side salad. And there was only 1 small piece of a chicken breast strip in the whole salad. I dug around hoping for more, but there was only one two-bite piece! How can you call it a chicken salad with no chicken... It did taste great! But it was so small and I was still hungry afterward. Not worth the price.The drinks are really good, but at $10 a pop, they add up quick.Last time I was there I got the chicken tenders. Again delicious, but very small. This was a year ago though, so maybe the tenders are different now.I don't need obscenely huge portions or anything...I just don't want to still be hungry after a dinner that cost that much.

Really love this place- The atmosphere, set up, food, all locally/Buffalo inspired. It's nice & "upscale" but feels homey & comfortable too, like your favorite pub. It's a sports bar with TVs everywhere with various sports on. A great place to watch the game. The food is awesome & a lot of it is homemade or handcrafted right there. The setup is very unique & is supposed to mimic that of watching the hockey game at the arena. Very fun.

If you are into sports, this is the place for you! Giant screens, screens everywhere, sports, sports, sports! The food is good. I had the chicken fingers and fries appetizer. Decent portion for an appetizer, it served me well for a full meal and I couldn't finish it! I also had their blended daiquiri and it was literally one of the best drinks I've had in years. So delicious. Highly recommend making a reservation, especially on popular game nights or Sabres game nights. It will be packed right before and you have no chance of getting a seat, maybe one at the bar. We took an Uber from a nearby garage, but you could do street parking or take the train which is free above ground. It was pricey in my opinion, so I wouldn't go unless there was a special occasion.

We came in, was seated, then waited 15-20 minutes & when we saw people that came in after us getting their appetizers-we decided they had forgotten about us & decided to go elsewhere. Also....it was so loud in there, you couldn’t carry on a conversation with someone at your table without raising your voice!

Not a good one at all. My wife and I usually go here everytime before a sabres game but after our experience tonight we will never return. Waited 35 mins after our reservation time. Took 20 mins for a waiter to see us, took another 20 mins for drinks, and then waited a long time for our appetizer. Then waited 45 mins for 2 sandwiches.
