EAT & DRINK

Downtown Buffalo is home to dozens of fabulous places to dine solo, as a couple, or with friends and family.

We promise you won't be bored with the selection! Whether you're in the mood for creative cuisine prepared with local produce, a hearty plate of famous “spaghetti parm,” fresh seafood, or anything in between, you'll find it Downtown.
The area also boasts a popular bar scene (with service until 4 a.m. at many establishments) and is home or adjacent to an exciting variety of breweries and craft spirit distilleries, many of which have tasting rooms or full-service restaurants.
