26 Best Pubs near Lackawanna

“We went to Steel City Pub last Saturday. I heard that they had some excellent burgers. Let me say, YES they do! My wife had the wings and she loved them. The place has a great vibe, service, food and ice cold beers. Check them out if you get a chance. You won't be disappointed.“

“My car fell apart while I was driving through upstate New York and I ended up at Jokers. It seemed like fate brought us together. Chapter 2: The foodThe food was pretty good! Look at that pizza. Look at how it glows in the moonlight. Let its aroma wash over you in an awesome wave. Tasty stuff. Chapter 3: The ambiancePretty good! Lotta people lurking around. Some work there. Some just eat there. I was part of the latter crowd. This place takes US currency and most forms of credit card. Chapter 4: The endAll told, I think that Jokers is the place for you if you find yourself in the area. I don't know you too well, but I know you well enough to know that if you are still reading this drivel, you could do with a trip to Jokers. REST IN PEACE car. You failed me, but Jokers didn't.“

“Absolutely fantastic family owned business. Food and cocktails are always top notch. We have tried pretty much everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. The warm potato salad is a must along with everything else. Don't forget the Guinness chocolate cake! Everyone is friendly and the service is great. We will be back (many times)!“

“Loved it! Very nice gathering place. Also provides parking. I was there for a benefit/fundraiser and found it to be a great place to hold such an event. There's plenty of space, a kitchen and Bar. It also has multiple rooms for use. Two thumbs up ?“

“Cozy neighborhood eatery and bar. The staff are friendly and make you feel like a regular on your first visit. The wings are great. Good buffalo sauce and crispy, blue cheese is really good, and I'm a buffalo wing snob. Atmosphere sings old buffalo with antiques and vintage photos.“

“The exact embodiment of an Irish Pub you'd imagine if someone asked you to think of the ideal Irish pub, except without the stereotype redhead with green eyes at the door. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Food was decent, drinks served fast, and probably the best spot to take a date on Saint Paddy's (which I failed to do).Edit to add: each time I've been by here, Megan has been hostess/server. She's great! Instantly personable, relatable, a delight.If you can afford to spend a bit, the Banshee is really the best little spot to hang out. The charm of the space, and the staff, makes each visit deeply satisfying.Parking: There are a number of paid parking lots and paid parking garages in the area, but it's smack in the middle of downtown, so expect to pay for your time there. Ride services and cabs are ideal anyway, to prevent bad judgement after a few pints. To be honest, parking right in front of the building on Franklin St is *supposed* to be city street parking with meters, but some ppl have said they park there constantly and never pay anything (at least not in the afternoon/evening). Your call if you want to risk it. You can also pay $30 for the lot next door, if you really need some peace of mind.Wheelchair accessibility: Although the upper floors won't be accessible, the ground floor doors are accessibly wide and swing light on their hinges. The bathrooms can be a little snug to get thru the doors, but there are of course accessible stalls when thru those.“

“I had a pot roast sandwich and a big thing of fries. It was sensational, and the service was great! The friend I was with had traditional beef on whack, which he loved. I really enjoyed this place and the next time I am Buffalo, I will seek it out again.“

“Every time I come here the food is amazing! The staff is always friendly and the cocktails were absolutely delicious!! Our waitress Marlene, was super...Thanks again for providing a really nice place to gather with friends and enjoy an evening away from the norm! BTW, I highly suggest the Braised Short Ribs and the Bavette Sirloin..Scrumpdillyicious!!“

“We loved Union before but now it is even better in the new location. The bar is awesome and there is a full dinning room now to come and enjoy a killer meal. I love the French onion soup, wings and of course Transit log!! Awesome downtown place!“

“Outstanding experience, best wings, and handcut fries in Buffalo. The wait times might be long but your food is brought as soon as it is ready as well as "ordered". Two spots to order from being the bar and one of the 12 tables located behind the hostess. Expect wait times of an hour at open and some open seats by 7/7:30. Went on a Saturday and had a great time talking to both tourists and locals. Order a drink so that the wait feels less like an hour and a half and more like twenty-five minutes. Cannot wait to come back and try the HOT wings as opposed to MEDIUM. They are known for their hot sauce.“

“There were 10 of us tonight 7 who have never been here and they all loved it and said this should be our new hang out! Our server was absolutely fantastic, and it was very busy and She never had a attitude and had a smile on her face at all times!! I’m sorry I forgot her name! Marybeth will know who I’m talking about!! Thank you for giving us a nice night out!“

“My current favorite place to order fish fry takeout. The beer batter is fried to a crispy perfection. The sides are hit or miss, the potato salad was not good the last time I ordered. But was still pretty happy with meal overall. Do recommend!“

“Missed out on the kitchen but stayed to enjoy a couple brews. The bartender was attentive and made sure my beer selections were in alignment with my preferences. I like to start with a light blonde, enjoy the taste of a nice red, and end with a thick & sweet stout or lager.“

“Came here for the dive bar vibe to watch the hockey game last night and it did not disappoint (unlike the Sabres). Always such a fun place to chill, or play a few bar games if you're into that. Ordered the Rhody sandwich which was fantastic. The two bartenders were very attentive and offered great service. Will totally be back for the cheeseburger quesadilla- I need to try it!“

“Yes . I was greatly impressed on the local little Hot Spot or what may come of the future . I know what it's like to get 8t on track .I managed my own business, I it was more than I expected. Good Luck I'll be back soon .Smoked Wings ?“

“The fish fry was so good!!! The fish was crispy and they gave me a huge piece! The tuna Mac salad was delicious and homemade. The fries were fresh cut and cooked perfectly. It also came with a sauerkraut pasta salad, coleslaw and bread with butter. Overall it was a excellent meal and I will definitely be ordering from here again.“

“The food here is tremendous (wings are on par with Bar-Bill and they have a great fish fry), but one word of caution - do not expect to be able to order meat on Friday’s during Lent. Long time regulars are probably well aware of this policy but we were caught a bit off guard. Given that they were absolutely packed with people ordering the fish fry, it makes a lot of sense, just something to be aware of.“

“First time ordering deliveryWoW ..I need hot food :I'm recovering from chemotherapy.Lost my taste buds .WELL ; food came ?.Beef on wick .They throw in chips and a cold foil rapped pickle.I ordered stuffed peppers .Tasted like Hungarian mild banana peppers with 3 cheeses.Nice hot tang .Excellent charge for delivery: on time and notifications of everything one step ahead .Thank you !Can't wait to try my next delivery.“

“Our favorite place, hands down! We have done dine in and take out, Always great!Vegetarian options: Souvlaki chicken salad is excellent!Dietary restrictions: Great choice of salads. Salmon options cooked to perfection. (Salmon is hard to do well. But not at JP’s!“

“Had a late afternoon to kill, went in for a burger. Decor is as others described, but the TVs were a bit noisy with MTV blaring a bunch of 90s to 00s alt rock, pop and lots of hip-hop + r&b. It was incongruous, a little grating, and seemed weirdly at odds with the clientele.Clarissa (IIRC) was delightful, and helped me pick the right beer for my mood (Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale). Was profoundly disappointed to learn they had no kind of fries or hashbrowns available at all, thanks to the postage stamp-sized kitchen having only a grill. The chips would have to do, but at least the Independence burger was excellent.If all you're out for is atmosphere and a beer, this is a quaint, appealing spot, and if you get peckish, the food is quite tasty. (Though a hot plate to make some hash browns or scrambled eggs would add another star here. )“

“We stopped here on our way home from Canada - so glad we did! Everything was homemade - even the pickles and potato chips. The food was outstanding and service was great. Would absolutely recommend going out of your way to stop here for a bite- you will not be disappointed!“

“Great place! This Lackawanna bar was everything I love about small town neighborhood bars and more! Some people weren't thrilled to see new faces walk in lol but ultimately everyone was fun and nice. Looking forward to stopping in more in the future!“

“Valerie developed her own beer batter, and they have $2 off the fish fry during Friday happy hour this time of year!Also, the dance nights are some of the best I've found. But whatever you're into, Hot Mama's probably has a night for it, karaoke, trivia, pool, sports, etc. Those are just my favorites.“

“One of the best Rueben's I have ever had! My wife got a salad and it was great as well. Both portions were very good and reasonably priced for the size and quality. Our waitress was fantastic, very attentive and fast. The overall feel was very rustic and welcoming.“

“St. Patrick's Day weekend...great band (The Rig), bartenders at outdoor bar were so friendly. 10 of us get a table at the last minute in a packed bar. Food was so good. Everything came out hot and fresh. Irish Onion soup is a must! Loved our whole experience!“
