Ballyhoo

We tried to go on a Friday night for a bite to eat, but ended up moving on. Too crowded and loud, not much seating except at the bar, and at the time we went, there wasn’t any there. Good for them! Came back for lunch cause we had to try those sausages and I’m glad we did. Try one of their jam cocktails, they are lovely.

Wow!! I’m so happy I finally got a chance to get down here. Don’t be fooled by the address, this location is as every bit of downtown as possibly can be. I ordered: - The Short Round -Side of Slaw -Side of Mac (to go) - (2) Frostbite (cocktails POUR-a-good cause) This gem is situated nicely on the corner of South Park & Michigan Ave. Parking is okay, not great, but that’s downtown for ya. The bar staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. I saw on SNS that the special drink was going to have $1 donated to a charitable organization (Feed More WNY) and really loved that concept. The sausage was cooked well and loaded with toppings and the slaw was extraordinary! I will absolutely be returning! Thanks for a great time Ballyhoo!

I alway enjoy whatever cocktail I get from Ballyhoo, and my last visit there was no different. One of the best bars in town in my opinion with very reasonably priced drinks and excellent customer service. Not a very large bar space, but definitely worth checking out. They do serve a limited food menu as well, but I have not tried any yet.

Loved this bar. Food was amazing - we tried the Short rib and Lamb option and did a side of Mac & Cheese. We also tried the jam preserve cocktail. Overall great experience.

Okay so first of all, the macaroni and cheese is to die for oh my goodness it is so yummy. The drinks are on a whole new level you just have to come in and have them make some of their specialties definitely a great place to hang out and bring your friends

Ballyhoo has been a favorite spot of mine from day one. This is the place to go for a well made cocktail without a hint of pretentiousness or inflated cost. Service from the bar is always quick whether it's dead or packed. They nailed a perfect vibe of warm, friendly neighborhood tavern with a punk rock twist (always impressed with the music selection and the volume is just at the right level so you can hear it clearly but you don't need to shout to talk with your friends. Oh and the food menu is simple but delicious. Do not skip the Mac and Cheese, the pickles or the ice cream sandwich.

Their motto is "Not that fancy", but man, the cocktails here are great. Just classics mostly, but they are done so well. And the cocktail menu is long, so many choices. And the house made sausage links are awesome.

Sat by the bar as it was a busy afternoon and our bartender was very kind. The TJ Dawg and Mac & Cheese was our favourite and the cocktails with the jam preserves were amazing too! Would definitely visit again on our next trip to Buffalo!
