The private door on the 2md floor actually goes to a good bar

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.

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.
