The Old Pink

This is Ryne's pick... but Lindsey backs him up on this. She has never been during the daylight. May be the diviest dive bar in Buffalo. Bring hand sanitizer. And also 10/10 do not recommend before 11 PM. Going to let this Google Review finish the talking: julianne sloan 10 reviews·2 photos 5 months ago Let me tell you…I let my boyfriend drag me into a bar covered in graffiti and nasty on the outside. He’s a long time buffalonian and swears by this bar. I have never been and was honestly skeptical just from the appearance. NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. Luke (the bartender/chef) was so amazing. He was serving over 30 people by himself, never messing up an order or even looking like he was overwhelmed. The drinks amazing…but the steak sandwiches?! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Just try it. You won’t regret it. Thanks Luke!!!!

Elmwood Village

Imagine a neighborhood where visitors linger at open-air cafes and browse farmer’s market vendors on a tree-lined parkway in the summer, while gathering at cozy coffeehouses and pubs in the winter. Picture a district where independently-owned and artisanal are the descriptors used for retailers instead of chain and franchise. Think of a place where public art can be seen on nearly every block. That’s Buffalo’s Elmwood Village, named by the American Planning Association as one of the country’s 10 best neighborhoods and home to some of the city’s most popular shops, bars and restaurants .
