Reviews
Great dive bar. Friendly atmosphere & super nice bartenders. Good food for a great price. The wings were actually really spicy with great flavor. Good beer selection. We loved finding a place that actually had a pool table and darts too!! We'll definitely be back.
The pizza is great, wings could use some more sauce :) I will write a bit more so that Yelp will let me post this since they require 85 characters
Unpretentious hometown bar. Great owner, cooks, and bar staff, with good bar food and a late-night menu. Nice mix of patrons and a fun place to watch sports, shoot pool, and play darts.
We stop in after league golf on Thursdays. Hidden gem. Great quaint ambiance. Seriously. The food is amazing. Pub food but delicious. Drinks are very good. Service is excellent! Barkeep/server Lexi goes way out of her way to make sure your visit there is incredible. I'm telling everyone if you are out and about in the area stop by. You won't be disappointed. I'd recommend this establishment to anyone and everyone.
I'm not one for superlatives and I'm a total foodie and consider myself a buffalo wing aficionado. Hands-down, the best wings and buffalo wings sauce I have ever put in my mouth. The staff is snarky and friendly. It's like an elegant dive bar. If you're traveling through East Aurora or heading to Bill's game stop off in Wales Center at the Wales Center, Hotel and fasten your seatbelts.
