"Links and drinks" are the rule at Ballyhoo: the short but sweet menu consists entirely of a maddeningly creative range of house-made sausages like the "Curry Lamb Bam" (topped with the contrasting flavors of harissa and raita and served with tabbouleh on the side), the "Church Chicken" (seasoned with Old Bay and dressed with whole-grain mustard and celery and apple slaw), and the "Short Round" (ground Korean-style short rib flavored with ginger, garlic and scallions and topped with kimchi slaw and sambal aioli). A modest range of salads and soups are offered for sides, and ice cream sandwiches made with house-baked chocolate chip cookies make a delectable dessert.

Ballyhoo

You'll find it where the Malamute used to be, but don't be fooled: in sharp contrast to that old-school gin mill, Ballyhoo would give any of the trendy cocktail bars on Elmwood a run for their money, let alone scruffy South Buffalo. Here, you can imbibe any of an impressive range of microbrews hailing from the local area and elsewhere, or perhaps a smart craft cocktail made with homemade mixers, while obscure British post-punk drones on the stereo. In summer, Ballyhoo has one of Buffalo's most unusual patios: a wooden deck facing Michigan Avenue built with salvaged military-surplus materials (the planter boxes hanging from the rails are made from old missile casings!)
