Preservation Pub

The erstwhile OHM Ultra Lounge — Western New York's only lesbian bar, under the same ownership — has relaunched in a way that's true to its roots but expands the concept in different directions. No longer just another spot in the gayborhood to dance the night away and get your drink on, Preservation Pub is an LGBT-friendly but not LGBT-specific place where a diverse clientele enjoys not only a full range of domestic, imported, and locally-brewed beers but also an expansive menu of upscale pub grub. Indulge in the spic-and-span renovated interior if you like, but the patio out back is one of Allentown's best-kept secrets.

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.

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.
