Local

A perfect encapsulation of the Chippewa Street's evolution over the past decade: Noir, once home to many a thumping rave, has been transformed into a much mellower "kitchen and beer bar" that — from the locally-sourced ingredients, to the huge "Buffalove" sign adorning the back wall, and even to the interior, bedecked in warm-toned wood upcycled from an old barn in Clarence — really lives up to its new name. Local's menu is a classed-up take on pub grub whose standouts include the "Ultimate Chicken Sandwich" (grilled and topped with avocado, goat cheese, tomato, fresh basil, bacon, alfalfa sprouts, potato chips, and pesto mayo) and a beer-battered fish fry made with Southern Tier Brewing Company's "One Buffalo" American blonde ale.
