Buffalo Bar & Grille

This "historical meeting place for the famous and famished" may only be open Fridays, but it's a great destination for those who want a real neighborhood dive bar experience without a hint of hipster affectation. That goes double for history buffs, who can knock back a cold beer or tuck into a plate of chicken wings or fish fry (both with their share of votes for the best in town) in a dimly-lit but bustling barroom where the decor varies between old-time Buffalo memorabilia and pinup photos of 1950s movie stars.
