Open since 1968, it has become a staple in the Buffalo bar scene, particularly recognized among residents and visitors for its commitment to showcasing a variety of local and regional craft beers.Situated on Elmwood Avenue, a vibrant area known for its bustling nightlife, eclectic shops, and dining options, Mr. Goodbar offers a welcoming environment for a diverse crowd, ranging from college students to seasoned locals. The venue is split into two main areas: the lower level, which hosts the bar and seating areas for casual dining and drinking, and the upper level, often used for private events, live performances, and weekly trivia nights.One of the key attractions of Mr. Goodbar is its impressive beer selection, which includes rotating taps featuring the latest in craft beer from around Buffalo and beyond. They are known for their commitment to supporting local breweries, giving patrons the chance to explore a wide range of beer styles and flavors.In addition to the beverages, Mr. Goodbar also offers a menu of pub-style food, with options ranging from classic bar snacks to heartier meals, all designed to complement the beer selection.The establishment also places a strong emphasis on community involvement and entertainment.

When in Buffalo, it seems obligatory to try a wing bar in town. Mr. Goodbar happened to be the closest one to the area I was in so I gave it a try for lunch and was not disappointed. I was quickly greeted and grabbed a seat at bar so I could watch the game. It was pretty empty for lunch and the food came quick. I went with an order of the medium wings and onion rings. The rings were a huge portion and perfectly fried and seasoned. The wings were excellent- good size with lots of meat and a good amount of spice without burning your taste buds. It was a great meal and worth the stop.

Place is the absolute worst. Bar tenders and bouncer are the biggest scumbags you could ever meet in your entire life. Do yourself a favor and do not come to this establishment EVER.

Not much has changed in 34 years, the copper top bar has a few more nails in it to add to the character. Dark and cozy it's one of the best grunge beer bars around. Tap list is extensive, unique and fresh. We didn't go for food.
Good bar….. Goodbar! LOL nice place! Love the Wings! Tim KeviN Kyle Sammey the crew…. The best!

Went here on a Friday night and the bouncer denied my friends out of state ID, which is real, and then handed him his old NY expired ID to prove he is indeed 21 and then said that was fake too. No chance to talk to anyone else, or have someone else look at them. Group of 8 that were all going to pay cover, too. Bouncers could use some training on IDs and professionalism.
Got to see my friends band Sliver play!
