tennesseeboy Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Mulligans and Laughlins come to mind from a long gone era. Mullgans was owned by two Buffalo cops and Laughlins was a neat hangout. South Buffalo had the Southside, O'Malley's there was a place named after a car company in west seneca where the early Jim Kelly got into some trouble (Pierce-Arrow?) from time to time (nothing major). the Dash Inn (a neighborhood dive...would be shocked if anyone else remembered it.)

plenzmd1 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Culberts, the Sandbarand Gadawski's certainly qualify as "gin mills". Like Cincy, most of my favorite WNY joints are long gone. Some of the best, that come immediately to mind, that were still open the last time I checked, are: Youngstown: The Jug! Lockport: Niagara Hotel on North Transit (a dump's dump!) Niagara Falls: Players on Niagara Street (across from the Seneca Casino (across from Judi's Lounge on Military Road (across from the Outlet Mall) Jonfres on Niagara St (and 27th st). Dueger's Tenowon on Niagara St (1001 Niagara St, actually) Braggs on Ferry Ave (and 3rd St) Stadium Grill on Hyde Park Blvd (across from Sal Maglie Stadium) How could I forget the Jug!!! Guarded at the Fort for two years, got to know the insdide of the Jug pretty well those summers. Judi"s. Ah yes, pitchers of Kamikazes during lunch break at LaSalle High School!!! ( for you kiddies, we was legal at the time). Lets not forget the Crazy Horse was walkable form the school for lunch as well Stadium Grill was in plenty of times Also, on Grand Island was the Beach House. Awesome Sunday afternoon/evenings party scene during the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I didn't notice, in the original post, that there was interest in gin mills of the past, too. Well... Youngstown: Commerford's Riverview Inn (I bartended there for a while) and the place across the street from Commerfords, I forget the name. Niagara Falls: Pugsies Daddy Taught Us How (AKA Daddy's. Bartended there, too.) Old Angelo's Dell's Inn Grand Inn Captain's Cove Half Time Ontario House The Shed Zodiac Lounge Elmer's and Susan's Hyde Park Grill Amato's Bozek's Buffalo and surrounding area: Jack Daniels (great place with great music, as I recall) the original Tralfamadore as mentioned, Slomba's CPG (forgot to mention that earlier) Rudi's Pump Room Bradford Grill the bar at the corner of Grant St and maybe Bradley (no bar there, anymore) the really bizarre old people cocktail lounge in Kenmore (either on Delaware or Elmwood). it was a very small and oddly shaped building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bartended at Commerfords (probably before your time) and the Old Fort Inn. For a couple of summers, I ran the bar at the Youngstown Yacht Club.

The Dean Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Is 'The Library' still there? Don't think so (it changed names, years ago). but, it certainly wasn't a dive/gin mill. Lot's of Canadians went there. I think crayons used to work there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevbeau Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 We used to Roll the Golf Club when I played Beer League Hockey back in the late 1990's....It is funny there are some places I refuse to go to b/c their team was full of a-holes I'd left Buffalo by then. My Dad did say he stopped going htere, cause the new owners went too "upscale." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
