Canalside

Canalside is at the heart of Buffalo's waterfront revitalization, located in the city's downtown corridor. There are hundreds of events and free activities scheduled throughout the year including lawn and table games, peddle and paddle boats, water bikes, boat tours, public art, and Buffalo's Naval & Military Park. Check out the website for featured events!

Bars on Chippewa St, Elmwood Ave, Allen St, and Main St

Chippewa has a number of fun bars and clubs on this strip ranging from small, hole-in-the-wall bars to more typical club lounges. Elmwood also has a popular strip of bars. Highly recommend Mr. Goodbar and Coles. Bars on Allen St are diverse and geared towards all ages. Recommend Mulligans and Nietzsches, Thirsty Buffalo and the Steer located on Main St are also fun, but can get crowded and tend to tailor to the college-age crowd on the weekends. Elmwood and Allen would be our recommendations!
