Gabriel's Gate

Gabriel's Gate is most famous for their chicken wings, but for folks of a certain age who've grown out of the "party 'til you puke" mindset, the chilled-out ambience of the bar and its location away from the brouhaha on a relatively quiet stretch of Allen Street are just what the doctor ordered. Enjoy a modest but diverse selection of big-name beers, local craft brews from the likes of Community Beer Works and Big Ditch Brewery, and house special Gabriel's Brown Ale.

Gabriel's Gate
Located in a two-story brick house on the historic mid-19th-century Tiffts Row, Gabriel's Gate has been a popular restaurant and bar in Allentown practically forever. Ask a Buffalonian the best place to go for chicken wings that's off the beaten tourist path, and they're likely to direct you here. Apart from that, menu favorites such as ribs, sandwiches, and souvlaki are tasty and a bit more elaborate and upscale than your usual pub grub, and the back patio is undeniably a pleasant place to enjoy food and drink on a summer evening.

Frizzy's
Another dive bar catering to the usual Allentown crowd, Frizzy's serves up cheap beer in a low-key location away from the busy end of the strip. If a night at the bar is about more than just drinking for you, you can enjoy a round of darts, pool or foosball in the game room, play your favorite song on the jukebox, or even snap a selfie in the photo booth.

Grindhaus Café
On the other hand, if good coffee is your paramount criterion, Grindhaus is at your service with Allentown's fanciest gourmet third-wave cold-drip pour-over yada yada yada. If that sounds like a knock on the place, it's not — everything here is tasty, the vibe is super welcoming, and most notably, everything on the menu is 100% vegan. And unlike the similarly hipster-focused Intersection Cafe, the place is big enough to linger rather than just grab-and-go, so if you want to actually take time out to (let's say) admire the work of local artists on the wall over a slice of avocado toast, that's a viable option. Prices are a touch high, but worth it.
