Funky Monkey Nite Club

The "new kid on the block" in the Buffalo gay district at least tries to live up to its name, with a small dance floor and tunes blaring on the stereo, but otherwise Funky Monkey is just more of the same — cheap drinks poured in a dated, dive-y ambience. For an alternative, the back patio is one of the more pleasant in Allentown.

Cathode Ray
For better and for worse, walking into this longstanding pillar of the Allentown gay-bar district is like walking into a John Waters movie — a seedy place with a dated, dive-ier than dive-y ambience that's populated by a delightfully trashy rogue's gallery of neighborhood misfits whose abrasive attitudes will either charm you or put you off, depending on your personality.

Buffalo Tikka House
At Buffalo Tikka House, the operative question is: how flexible are you? That is to say, if your waiter served you something different than what you ordered, and your protestations were met with only a vague promise to "take care of you next time", would you take it in stride? If not, that's understandable; normally it would be hard to recommend that kind of place under any circumstance. But it's tough to complain when the food is so good; miles ahead, in fact, of any other local Indian restaurant. Options range from the usuals (the namesake dish comes in a sweet-ish iteration perfect for those with tender palates) to specialties available nowhere else in Buffalo (fiery Chicken 65 packs an authentic flavor straight off the streets of Chennai), all 100% halal.
