Considering going to Buffalo wk 1, need advice

[buffalo2218]

I apologize if posting this in the stadium wall was wrong, but I need some advice. I'm considering going to Buffalo to visit during the first week of the regular season. I was wondering where some good sports bars are where I can watch the game. Or is there a possibility of the game being shown at the stadium?

716 was a good local bar to catch games at (even owned by the Pegulas) but they sold it after the pandemic hit and I'm not sure about it right now under new ownership but may be worth looking into.

Go enjoy some good wings and beef on weck at Big Tree Inn. It’s in OP, so ya gotta get there early.

Thank you guys for all the responses. Still doing a bit of browsing, hoping to find something soon.

You can go to the stadium and walk to Danny's or Big Tree or just walk around the lots.    There will be people outside in the lots with TV's set up watching the game as well because all you need is a TV and a little antenna to get the local HD broadcast in the lots.

It’s southern tier brew house now and idk because of Covid and such but 99% sure they would be playing the game 

 

and it’s honestly better ran now

If you're flying in make sure to hit Charlie the Butcher on Wehrle after you land. My favorite beef on weck.

there might be something going on downtown for the Thursday game.

 

the interesting thing to see….the traffic on the street when Bills are on TV.

 

all places with a TV will have the game on

Go to Buffalo week 2. Even if you don't go to the game, the home opener is always the best tailgate

[RiotAct]

all great suggestions above.  The stadium will NOT be showing the game, just a heads up.

Advice?!

 

Is this an @Chef Jim thread in disguise?

Nope.  I was there 2 weeks ago.  No advice needed or asked for.  😁

According to their web site, "The new taproom will continue to be a premier place for Buffalo sports fans to come and support their teams!"

It's Southern Tier Brewery now  I think the 35ft TV is still there. Why get rid of that?

There are tons of them...Big Tree Inn by the stadium in OP is always a good option.

A good alternative to Mighty Taco is Colosso Taco in Tonawanda, just a little hole in the wall, but great food.  Large meat and cheese burrito hits the spot.  Duff's for wings, Charlie the Butcher for Beef on Weck.
