Another classic Buffalo bar burns to the ground - Mulligan’s

We lost the Old Pink a few months ago, now Mulligans is toast! 
 

I actually preferred drinking at Mulligans over the Pink even though I never went to both with great frequency. 
 

Very sad.

If it was Ontario, I would substitute 'pot shop'. 😁

Did the Canucks have a hand in this? Remember that in 1812 there was a little bit of a feud  over a burned up bar in B-Lo.

this news makes me sad. My sisters college apartment was in a building on the corner of Allen and Elmwood catty corner from the old Towne Red Hots. Which is also closed from what I gather.

 

walking distance to my sister's apartment we went there lots.

 

RIP another landmark of my youth. a la ******

By nixing a trade for Jeudy based on Madden stats.

The guy who burned the pink down and started another vehicle on the same block is out on bail. I’d imagine he’s getting interviewed.

My hanging out at bars era is long over but it is sad to hear about the Buffalo staples being burned down or the other ones that are closing.  Def a changing of the times and you will never be able to rebuild the character places like The Pink and Mulligans had.

 

Sad day in WNY history

Easy, it's wood bones with a brick veneer.

Do they get a "mulligan" so they can rebuild down the road?

Spent many a college weekend in there 90-93. Hope they can bring it back.

I have learned that the water is the real danger to the bricks, because they get soggy and lose their strength.  We /barely/ saved our old Territorial Capital building here in Golden when it burned - it was the fire hose water that posed the real danger to losing the structure.  For weeks they literally had 4x4's holding a whole side of the building up.

Was Cassidy's Amherst St. at Main?  What was the bar at Hertel and Elmwood Ave.?

In seem to remember (~50 year old memory) that Cassidy's was on the East Side of the Elmwood strip. One of if not the first bar on that side. Don't know what the cross street there is.  Almost across from No Name

If they keep burning down bars and closing Valu Home Centers, I won't know where f*** all used to be. 🙁

1. ADA laws.

2. Fire codes.

3. Insurance requirements.

 

Everything "new" now has to be built big and wide and flat, and (unfortunately) generic.
