72 beers on tap, a grand, old industrial building, long list of fine bar grub and even a childrens' menu. This place is a no brainer and a great addition to one of the best little food and drink towns in America. If you’ve never been to a Griffon Gastropub location, there’s a few things you should know. They take service very seriously. While the DNA of the pub is anything but formal, the service is excellent.

This Orchard Park institution and has been pushing out great Beef on Weck and down home fare pretty much forever. Thankfully, very little has changed, including the decor, since the early sixties, in spite of a recent reopening. Devoted customers claim the BOW (and beef in general) is the best in town and we find it hard to argue. We love the German Potato Salad., and the old fashioned folks atmosphere.

What can one say about simple elegance. This place is so comfortable their biggest problem is getting customers to leave so they can turn over the tables. The charcuterie is only the greatest food item since the chicken...or is it the egg? Everything is super fresh/locally sourced and the brick oven pizza's are special. A great bar and intelligent beer/wine lists makes this place a great find and a hard get. [try the pickle plate too]

We'd throw some recommendation at you but the menu changes up so fast it's hard to keep up.

The Mahony at the Fairmont is a bit out of the way right smack downtown. Steps behind the Seneca Casino this beautiful old creamery building turned office space boasts one of our favorite bar rooms. The food at Mahony's is an eclectic mix of global cuisine that pairs well with their robust beer offerings.

This Gastropub is a little north of the equator in price but worth every dollar. We love the "Original" West Side Ribs and the Meat Loaf sandwich when available.
