Gene McCarthy’s Old First Ward Brewing Company - Review - First Ward - Buffalo - The Infatuation

With a beer garden, its own brewery, and loyal regulars sipping Labatt Blue, there’s a lot to love at Gene McCarthy’s. That includes the wings, which are meaty, expertly fried, and drenched in just the right amount of sauce to keep things flavorful without overwhelming the crunch. While unique flavors like mandarin sesame and Thai chili garlic bring something different to the table, the real standout is the house specialty: sweet and spicy BBQ wings topped with crumbly blue cheese for a perfect combo of vinegary, smoky, and creamy. photo credit: James Pici photo credit: James Pici Pause Unmute - David Neimanis
