Hosted a party for 40 people in their back room and they were so lovely and easy to coordinate with! Tony was amazing in the booking process and worked with us to create a delicious vegetarian menu and our bartender Edie was amazing. Highly recommend for a private party (max 50ish people probably).

A nice bar, with reasonable prices and events in the back room. The bartenders are pleasant, and it has been nice every time I have been there.

Nice ambience , food was good - chicken wings were ok , but I wouldn't say best I've ever had - we only had apps and went to another restaurant so hard to give a full

Although I didn't get the food, I definitely will do so the next time I'm there. I already had dinner before coming out but I was envious of every order that passed me on the way to its recipient. Very cool staff. I like the bar setup. I was there for karaoke but I think there may have been a second event going on in the back. The fact that I'm not sure goes to show that they do a good job of separating parties.The last time I was there was for a DJ in the back. That was a lot of fun and in that case, there definitely was a different event in the front and I couldn't hear the opposite when on one side.

Limited menu but good choices. We sat at the bar with our best bartender/cook , Tony serving us and making our experience fun . There is no bruschetta anymore. That was the best !Parking: Allen Street is finally open and revamped.

What a great local tavern. The food is mostly handheld, but upscale quality. The service is the real star of this show ... The cook and bartender are outstanding!

5-stars for great service, cleanliness, and atmosphere. Came here for drinks and to watch a show by Buffalo Improv House. The show was in the back room which was brightly lit, laid out with about 20 lightweight wooden fold-up chairs but no tables (so ok to hold a drink in your hand but you wouldn't be able to eat a meal back here). There was a physical bar in the room but no drinks or staff. There's also a unisex restroom in here. The rest of the bar is low lighting, but clean and had a few tables in addition to the bar seating to enjoy a meal. Service was great and they had a handful of good beers on tap.

the bartender was very rude and had a couldnt seem to comprehend what was being said to him. The owner couldnt care less about how his employees were treating and speaking to the customers and tried to force us out for voicing our side of the story. I wouldn't recommend going here if you plan on changing anything to any order they will take your stuff away and tell u to leave because you didn't pay.

Awesome little spot with great beer, awesome food and amazing staff! It's a must stop if you are in the area. Can't wait to go back this evening.

The bartenders were catering to the alcoholics at the bar. There were lewd pictures in the ladies room. The menu was meat oriented. For an "artsy" section on town, there were no vegetarian or vegan choices on the menu. Won't be back.

Stopped in for quick sandwich. My server, Teddy, was great. Steak hoagie was wonderful. Opted for the side Caeser salad. Salad was cold and crisp, dressed just right.

Very cool space, I was there for an improv workshop. I did not get to try food or drinks yet, but I'm hoping to head back soon. The building itself is super cool. And they're supporting improv in Buffalo which is fantastic.
