Pearl Street Grill & Brewery

Located in a circa-1841 brick building in what the menu describes as "once the most evil square mile in America" — the old Canal District — the Pearl Street Grill & Brewery does its best to evoke those bygone days with a take on traditional pub grub that's unmistakably Buffalo and a setting that's been restored to mimic its 19th-century ambience. An interesting variety of burgers, sandwiches and wraps — including an astounding pulled pork sandwich served with Carolina-style barbecue sauce, and of course, beef on weck — and heartier mains all augment the selection of house brews, but (almost more than anything else on the menu) they bake a mean pizza too. The Pearl Street Grill is very busy before and after events at the nearby KeyBank Center, so check the event schedule before heading out.
