Moor Pat

I love the chill relaxing vibe at the Moor Pat! Great selection of craft brews and yummy bar bites. I was running late to meet a friend there for a drink on a Thursday night. She texted me and told me not to rush or worry that Corey, the bartender, was taking great care of her. I thought it was funny since I was only a few minutes late. The moment I walked in the door, Corey shouted out to welcome me! It was if we'd known each other for years, yet it was my first time visiting. Wow, how rare and wonderful to have such great customer service! Especially considering he was a one man show there with a bar full of regular patrons. We ordered drinks and truffle fries. Great comfort food! Outstanding service! Definitely stop by this unique little bar while in Williamsville!

I stopped by while touring the town. Such a cool place! The guys behind the bar were cool and we chatted until my Wife got out of work. Would definitely stop there again when I’m back in town!

This place plays fast and loose with credit cards. Instead of transferring my bar tab to a different card, they charged BOTH cards. When this was brought to their attention a few days later, I was given a surly brush-off by the flunky-on-duty. Ripped off and then humiliated. I won't be back.

This is a must stop in place! Whether from the area or from FL like me and visiting, you have to go here. Not only do they have a massive beer selection and full liquor bar, the wings are absolutely the best I have EVER had. Not only cooked to perfection, they also come with literally the best blue cheese dressing you will EVER place in your mouth. I promise, it will change your life! I may go through withdrawals when I go home. And I'm not kidding. Badass 80s and 90s jams, chill and secluded atmosphere. The service is 110%. Corey and Jessie are Rockstars. I'm on a business trip and will have come here literally every night for wings and relaxation. Crazy, but awesome. Check it out!!! Thanks again Corey! 👊

This place has a great selection of beer and a really nice atmosphere. And when the weather is nice you can sit outside.

We loved Moor Pat! We recently did a quick Trader Joe's trip and Moor Pat was a recommendation from Buffalo Wing Coalition (a great instagram follow!). Moor Pat has a great selection of craft beers (including a Canadian option from Bellwoods Brewery!) and incredible wings. We tried 716 (buffalo style) and Cajun. They were insanely delish. The server was a beauty of a guy - knowledgeable on brews and super friendly. Moor Pat is an awesome spot to add to your list!

Excellent wings, big fan of the house sauce with them. Super cool pub environment with a large beer list. Awesome bartenders.

Love this place - Best Porters and Stouts around - not just in the Cold Months

Missed out on the kitchen but stayed to enjoy a couple brews. The bartender was attentive and made sure my beer selections were in alignment with my preferences. I like to start with a light blonde, enjoy the taste of a nice red, and end with a thick & sweet stout or lager.

I've tried coming here multiple times and people were always waiting outside the door to get in. That's a good sign! Well I finally got to try this place for myself. It looks small from the outside and the interior matches. Very divey. Beer can labels cover the walls. Everything is made of wood. No frills. The glory lies with the staff, beer and food. Bartender was kind, attentive and fast. Beer menu is top notch. And pours are perfect. Food comes out fast and fresh. Not my absolute favorite wings in the world. I would've liked them cooked a little longer. But the medium sauce was flavorful. Wings are VERY large and meaty. Fries were great. And the Cuban-egg-roll-thingies tasted like a fried version of the sandwich. I cant wait to come back.

We went to the bar and ordered drinks and food before sitting outside on the deck. The bartender was welcoming and friendly! We ordered fried pickles, wings and fries and were told they would be brought out to us when it was ready. The wings were a "718 sauce" which was perfect and were so crispy! The fried pickles were also perfectly crispy with pepperjack cheese we loved. The fries were good just a bit salty. We love the relaxing environment sitting outside.

I don't go to bars very often, and I really don't have much experience with local brews. Aside from this, Moor Pat would probably be my favorite beer spot in the area. It's a cozy place with a dose of nostalgia for me personally. I remember eating my favorite sweet cream ice cream there before Jenny's moved out. The house where Moor Pat found its home was built in 1836 and is a really cool, good vibe spot to hang out or catch up with friends. The place was practically empty on a Saturday early afternoon. The bartender wasn't overly friendly, which was just right in my opinion. Our selection of drinks and snacks made our stay enjoyable and the music playing helped to have a good time. Downeast Cider Original tasted like cider. It was a refreshing and crisp drink, very tasty. The Cubano Rolls were good but you have to like pickles. I love pickles and The Barrel + Brine knows how to make them. The Breadhive is a great local bakery. Their whole wheat pretzel was solid and dense. Unfortunately, it was served with plain yellow mustard (not my favorite) instead of the beer cheese dip that's on the menu. The only real downer this time was the bathroom, which looked like it was out of anyone's attention. I understand that maybe the nature of the place does not allow for major changes, and there must be only one washroom available (bummer). Despite this, I believe it's manageable to make the space more pleasant to use for everyone.

In the hipster heart of charming Williamsville, lies our next establishment, The Moor Pat. If you're like me and have been here numerous times yet somehow never ordered the chicken wings, you'd be easily forgiven. It is primarily known for its beer selection. After all, you can't spell Tap Room without MOOR PAT. But today, in addition to drinking their REEB, we decided to also sample their DOOF, specifically their SMURD and STALF. Location: 4 / 5 Surrounded by cool buildings and businesses, this place is an absolute vibe. Imagine your most Irish friend built his own bar, served his own beer and made the occasional chicken wing in the storage closet. While they get a perfect score for 'charm', they lose a point because the parking situation was brutal and your Irish friend invited other friends to his basement and let them smoke weed. Presentation: 4.5 / 5 Flavors were individually plated, had a good mix of flats and drums with celery and carrots and the bleu cheese even had a little flare to it. While we tend to prefer presentation on plates or trays, this is about as nicely as you can do a plastic basket. And to the bartender who served us with sanitary gloves on, the act of cleanliness is appreciated and was reflected in your score, if not your tip. Meat: 4.5 / 5 Tight. Consistent, goldilocks sizing. Cook: 8 / 10 Some real debate over this score. While each Wing King valued the crispy style, one even calling this a "perfect" cook, some felt they were a smidge overdone to the point of dryness. That said, we were all impressed at the overall quality of the cook, given that they appeared to be prepared in a dark room / broom closet. Standard Wing: 13.5 / 15 Great balance. Good flavor without being too saucy and a nice crisp without any hints of burnt. We also detected pepper flakes in the sauce which was a nice touch. They're playing with the big boys in this most important category. Specialty Wing: 7.5 / 10 Most of this score is attributed to their BBQ flavor which were by far their strongest alternative offering; great sweetness and tanginess without that ketchupy taste found in far too many BBQ sauces around town. Garlic Parm and Cajun flavors were just okay. Overall: 42 / 50 Lots to love about this place - very comfortable, with great beer and really good wings. MOOR PAT, SUOICILED!

Large selection of beers but offer only one non-alcoholic beer. Avoid Thursdays during summer when it is overcrowded. You will be told to use a credit card if you have cash when they have a limited amount of change.

So this place is really impressive for all the a alcohol and beers available , but I came in there for the food ! Best Buffalo wings for sure and the truffle Parmesan fries are spot on for flavor , crunch , and taste ... just yummy . Also , the staff was very friendly and helpful . Love that ! This place is located really close to Glen Park so it is such a delightful area to hang out

The bouncers are disrespectful and self righteous. They wouldn't let my friend in because he was in a wheelchair and he "would slow down traffic". I will never bring my family or friends there again and I hope they get the justice they deserve.

A favorite bar of mine in Buffalo. Lots of cool beers available, service is great and it's a really awesome patio to hang out on in the summer time.

Have never had food here but this place is a gem. Beer selection is as laser focused as an Allen to Diggs TD in mid fall. This place will blow your mind with the beers they are able to get. Setting is a dark basement bar, you are not gonna get much more than that. I don't recall a TV. Service is fantastic Definitely want to try some apps next time, they look solid

The very knowledgeable staff helped us select great beers and although the building itself was small and loud, Moot Pat doesn't lose its charm. Just a stones throw away from Main street, this is a great place to grab a bite or just a drink after dinner.

Service here was excellent! I was a little concerned when we first got there because the security guarding the place and making sure everyone is using their mask appropriately was a little intimidating but once we got in, the bartender was very nice and welcoming. He knew his beers and could tell me everything about each one that I asked about just off the top of his head. I went with his recommendations and may have found a new favorite sour beer! The inside is very small. Two tables and a bar, and a hightop seating area across from the bar. Thankfully they have a beautiful (but still small) outdoor patio. We were never forgotten outside and they kept our glasses filled the moment they were empty! The food options are limited and kinda pricey but they have good wing sauce options and the wings are large and saucey! We got a small order of truffle fries which was actually a hefty portion with great flavor, but they were overcooked a bit. Which is fine because we were full from the wings. I would definitely go again, especially when it's acceptable to go out for happy hour again because this place has a ton of beer selections and I want to try them all!

Mold in the glasses, my drink smelled so bad I couldn't take a second sip. The service was awful, the bartender could not have been ruder or less knowledgeable about their menu. Do not spend a dime here.

I stopped in on July 21st around 7:48pm to meet a group of friends for some after dinner drinks. There was 5 of us, all of which took turns buying a round of drinks for the group. I decided to pick up the last round before calling it a night and order (4) #1 Allagash White's and asked for a water with lemon for myself. Seeing as how Moor Pat is located directly off Main St. and in the heart of Amherst, I figured it would be a good idea to probably sober up before riding back home, especially driving through Amherst knowing how brutal the cops can be. Before I could finish asking the bartender for a glass of ice water with my order, the other staff member, or possibly the manager from the other side of the bar said, "for what? ...We have plastic cups and water by the door." To which I responded, "Considering this is my 5th drink of the night, I figured I would drink responsibly, and seeing as how we've already spent a decent amount of money in your establishment, I'd like to enjoy an ice cold glass of water with some dignity, instead of getting up every three sips to refill a plastic cup. To the manager / bartender who gave me the half-ass excuse that you were "low on glasses", consider your clientele before treating them the same way you would a bunch of drunken college kids who don't even have the decency to leave you a tip after you serve them. It's amazing how quickly those cups got clean each time we came back to order another round of suds, but suddenly it was an issue when asking for a simple glass of ice water. Can't see myself coming back to this place unless someone else is picking up the tab. There are plenty of great places to drink in this city, instead of subjecting myself to this bozo-behavior.

Nice small neighborhood indy/gastro bar. Have been before for lunch, maybe 6 months ago and their wings and truffle fries were outstanding at that time. Tonight, as husband and I attempted to grab a seat at the bar (while perusing the handwritten beer menu on the wall), bartender aggressively comes at us with "what don't you like?"...um...maybe let us read what you are offering. I'll admit this was early on a Thursday (and they were starting to get busy), but the presumption that we weren't knowledgeable about beer (and then soundly dismissed once husband ordered a Ryan Miller IPA)...f'that. We are a hockey family, (who's in the brewery business btw), who was drinking at Allagash in Portland just this last summer (and Pliney the Younger in Cali the spring before that). There are lots of great wings in Buffalo. But if you aren't a local, trucker-capped beer snob hipster under 40, don't bother with Moor Pat at night. Lesson learned. Bests to ya.

The wings they are serving up here are SLAMMIN'. We stopped in for a few beers and got to try the 716 wings. These were juicy, cooked great, and spicy but packed with flavor. I've heard great things about the fries here but I think the bragging rights go to the wings. (Though the fries are good too) Great beer selection on tap with a dive bar feel but cleaner.

I love this place. Seriously solid beers, always! Awesome food, friendly staff. My only negative is it's small. It's not always patio weather here. Ugh. Fills up fast and stays that way. Good for them, not so much for a larger group. Tried an assortment of food today. Truffle fries, poutine, stuffed pickle bites and a hen. Yup a freaking deep fried, crispy skinned Cornish hen served with 3 sauces. OMG so good! I love the barbaric, messy, rip it apart way of eating! Served with house bbq, blue cheese and i forgot the other as the bbq stole the show! I wasn't a fan of the poutine, the gravy had a sour tastes, not as rich as I would've liked and kinda skimpy on the curds. Truffle fries were, well to die for... Chipotle dipping sauce was straight fire! Come for the beer but try some food. Crazy unique and delicious.

Great place. Very nice bartender. Enjoyed the Allagash white and some fries and wings. The cheesy fried pickles were delicious! Nice outside patio. Parking on street.

We live right down the road from here, so this place is super convenient. The bartenders are good, the venues atmosphere is perfect for me, the food they offer is good, I have no complaints. The beer list is decent, not a large selection but enough for complaints to be silly. This place is small though, so if you plan on sitting down on the weekend, get there early.

Really great. We have been to Moor Pat many times and this place is better. Great food. Excellent service, especially when busy on a Friday night. Very nice setup, location, beer selection. They have a slightly less excellent to go beer selection than Moor Pat, but still a good variety. Will definitely come back soon. Very soon. Probably tomorrow.

Our go to spot for beer on tap. And maybe escape from our kids and work. Over the last few years we've become remembered by some of the awesome people behind the bar, which is cool! With a constant rotation but similar styles available it's a great place to stop in for a beer and food, those Parmesan fries, um yes! The best location in Williamsville for beer and such, you can always try a vast array of beers and even ask for recommendations if you aren't sure. Check out the stickers around the walls & get to know who's pouring your beer. Bring a sharpie to write on the bathroom walls. Become a part of a place that is so unique to this area that no one has tried to duplicate, cheers to you!

Came here for a drink the first day they opened post quarantine. They had masks available for anyone that didn't have one and had everyone well spread out. The owner helped us choose our beers (they have a great selection) and I really enjoyed what he chose for me. I've been here a few times before and every time the staff is super friendly and helpful.

Drinks are good. Several beers on tap. Local pub and vibe. Small pub. Parking is off side street. Bar food is like snacks and actually good. The wings are great here. The cheesey fries pickles were little different. I'll be back!

Spectacular food, wings are the best in Buffalo by far!! The fries are out of this world good, and the cheesy fried pickles are to die for!! The beer selection matches or exceeds the food quality! Thanks guys for an amazing dinner and few beers.

Stopped in with a couple friends after a meeting at the Town Hall, just across the street. The place is charmingly old world, dark and warm. The beer selection is excellent, lots of taps and some cans--heavy on the IPAs, redeemed by a yummy Samual Smith Winter Ale. There was a good crowd --most barstools were occupied. The bartender was excellent, though alone he had his hands full. It was a bit of a wait to get our second round ordered. Beer prices are on the expensive side, though not surprising, considering the neighborhood. I would definitely like to see some vegan options on the small board of fancy pub foods. The pretzel may have been vegan, but I didn't ask. I was happy this time with just the liquid offerings.

Great spot to get a taste of new beers from aroUnd the world (but mostly local). I really love exploring new beers from ipas to stouts and even sours(which I wasn't a huge fan but moor pat might be changing my mind). Sometimes I can't find anything I want but this is super rare because there is something for everyone. I also like the "whole in the wall" vibe it has and in the summer there's a great outdoors area! Check it out, you won't regret it.

I'm on the fence between wanting to shout Moor Pat's praises from the roof tops and also not wanting people to discover it (for selfish reasons). A real hidden gem off of main, Moor Pat has one of the best tap lists in the area. Combine that with what sneakily might be a top 5 wing in Buffalo (why don't more places brine their wings?!?) and a five star review was a no brainer.

We call this our local bar even though we live in Snyder and not Williamsville. They always have a great selection of craft beers.... ones you can challenge your palette with or great "go-tos" like Allagash White. They have an awesome selection of local and national brews (with some international breweries occasionally), plus a wide variety of styles. We've been supporting them by picking up crowlers every week of the quarantine. Their food is also incredible, especially during these tough times--the fries are the best in Buffalo (get the truffle and parm) and the wings compete with the other big Buffalo joints. Seriously! Satisfy your beer cravings by supporting this great place!

I LOVE IT HERE!! Really nice options for craft beers on tap in Williamsville! I love the outside space and I love the vibe inside too! It's definitely on the smaller side but the bartenders are super good at serving everyone fast even if it's busy.

Very cozy small place with a patio. Lots of beer choices which we had and snacks which we didn't. It was crowded but the bartenders got to us promptly. They were friendly and helped us by describing some of the beer options to us. After we ordered we hung out on the patio and listened to a band that were playing. We had a great time and I would go again.

Very delicious food, the staff knew a lot about their beers and were incredibly attentive to anyone looking to order.

Every time I walk in here, I still can't understand why people love it so much. The bartenders are hard to order from, the space is small and jam packed, but the patio area is nice. It is nice to stop by during Thursdays on Main, but I wouldn't stop there specifically for the place.

Apart from having the best beer in town they also have the coolest bar name. If you haven't figured it out yet just read it backwards "Tap Room" ! Two things I love about Moor Pat: - the awesome IPAs; TIP: check out there website/fb page to find out more about the latest beers on tap. - I'm not sure how they do it as they have a tiny kitchenette but somehow they end up making the most delicious snacks to go along with beer - my fav chicken wings and empanadas - and everyone behind the counter are super nice and super knowledgeable about beer Will update my post to add pictures

I haven't been able to come here as often as I'd like. This place has a really cool feel to it, like hipster-y but it's not in your face about it. Like the basement of a cabin. I enjoy the fact that it's very small, a little intimate but you're entirely free to enjoy time alone with a couple of friends. They've got a patio aside the building that's open during the summer months too, which is always a plus. Looks like they've got a lot of variety; lot of different beers on tap, plus whatever they've got stored on the shelves behind the bar. The bartender was very nice, and seemed perfectly capable of handling the busy crowd he had when we visited. Everybody seemed to know one another here, which was also pretty nice. I like that community feel. The kitchen is super small, but I've got to say the food is pretty delicious. I was recently able to try some food off of their menu (something I've been dying to do since I first visited!) and I was pretty happy with the result. Only ordered a basket of fries but my friends and I devoured them pretty quickly. Wait time was seriously only about 5 or 6 minutes. Can't wait to visit again!

We had the 716 wings, wow !!! Crispy but saucy, moist inside. And then there's Corey...turns out, everyone loves a good dad joke. Thanks for the good time Corey!!!

Moor Pat is the go-to place for great craft beer selection in Williamsville. They also have a full bar for the non-beer drinkers. Their menu has expanded in the past year to include some more bar food (wings, pretzels, empanadas, etc.) which are all tasty. BONUS: Their patio is DOG-FRIENDLY, which is great for Music on Main Thursday nights!

I didn't dislike this place but I'm not positive I would return. They have a large craft beer selection but no descriptions that I could find. I simply told the bartender what I typically drink and he gave me something comparable. The atmosphere is small and dark. Feels more like a last stop kind of place for me. Didn't try food; the kitchen was closed on the Tuesday evening we were there.

Great hole in the wall place! PROS: - their extensive scotch selection (and the extremely knowledgable staff who can tell you all about it!) - FRIED PICKLES!!! (best fried pickles in this part of town) - dark and cozy ambiance, great for catching up with old friends CONS: - limited seating (wouldn't recommend coming with large groups) - no real dinner options (better for drinks + bar bites), would not necessarily recommend for a first date - limited street parking out front

It's small, loud, and crowdy. But heck, I like this place. Good beer and the atmosphere reminds me of The Hollisters that brings me back to my high school days.

Great bar in the heart of Williamsville. Probably the best tap list in WNY. Beers on tap go quick so if there is something you were eying get here before its gone! Cans of Other Half are the norm during football season on Sundays. The atmosphere inside is loud, dark and cozy. Have not tried a lot from the food menu but the fries that I have had are delicious. Great staff and bartenders. Have not met someone that has went here and not had a good time.

Great craft beer selection and good food too!! Attended the Firestone tap takeover! Ordered the frittes and wings! It did not disappoint!

The best beer selection in Buffalo and Connor and Corey can make a mean Moscow mule. The Cajun wings are in the top 5 in WNY and the sirloin skewers are a tasty treat. This place is a hidden gem!

I love this bar! By far the best place to go for drinks in Williamsville! Everyone that I've encountered that works there is very friendly and easy on the eyes, or maybe that was just the alcohol talking! They do make very good drinks and they have a very decent wine selection! P.S. Bring your own sticky notepad to use in the bathroom, I had to use like 20 sheets to get them to finally stick to the wall, but still is a cute way to say you were there! I will post a picture of what I'm talking about :)

Nowhere else in the Buffalo area can you expect to find such rare/hard-to-find beers on tap and in bottles. The atmosphere is totally reminiscent of something I would stumble across in the darkest corner of London...it's definitely got that old world vibe, which I love. Last time we were in, I had an Other Half IPA-- I was so excited to see this up and coming Brooklyn based brewery on tap! Moor Pat even has their own app (iOS only), providing up-to-date listings and descriptions of each beer they have on tap and in bottles. I'm not even sure how to describe how delicious their truffle fries are-- I am a big fan of the thin/crispy french fry...so that texture, coupled with the truffle coating made the fries insanely good. The fries pair well with the higher alcohol content that many of these beers have. Overall Moor Pat will remain one of my favorite watering holes!

A Phone Call with My Ex-Bar-Owner Father: Dad (calling from Ohio): So what are your plans tonight? Me: Oh, we're trying out this new place in Williamsville. Dad: What's it called? Me: Moor Pat. Dad: *pause* That is seriously the stupidest name for a bar I've ever heard. Me: It's M-O-O-R P-A-T. Like, "taproom" backwards. Dad: Still the stupidest name I've ever heard. I couldn't argue with him. Until Moor Pat is a more established venue with wider recognition, I'll cringe and feel lame telling my friends where I'm going. Seriously, "Moor Pat" sounds like someone with broken English asking for favors at a strip club. Or a dog begging for pets in a stupid dog voice. But once you get past the name and the door, things get a whole lot better. It was crowded, which was to be expected at the nicest, newest bar on Main Street. The beer list is fantastic. Like its sister establishment, Blue Monk, Moor Pat has a constantly rotating selection of pretty awesome brews. Ballast Point had taken over the night we visited, which was a nice surprise. Their beer list updates so quickly that they've resorted to relying on their mobile site/app for an updated list of their offerings. Service was FANTASTIC. The bartenders were friendly and just awesome in general. So was the Post-It Party in the bathroom. Unfortunately, one of the Post-It's got stuck on the bottom of my boot and came off on my boyfriend's passenger-side floor. Also unfortunately, the note read "Dan has a big D." Under any other circumstances, this could have turned into a very awkward confrontation. Moor Pat has a very limited food list, so don't plan on going for dinner. The Weisswurst on a Bretzel that we shared was pretty delicious, as were the fries, but the price and lack of seating makes eating there more difficult than it's worth. The only other downside of Moor Pat is what I call a "Buffalo problem." I'm not used to paying more than, like, $5 for a beer. So I gave my tab receipt a side-eyed glare when it was handed to me. In the future, this is how I picture Moor Pat factoring into my Friday evenings on Main Street: 1) Go somewhere for dinner and 1-2 drinks 2) Go to Moor Pat for some delicious, amazing beers. 3) Once I get tipsy, walk somewhere else and enjoy cheaper brews. Overall, I'm very excited for Moor Pat to be more widely recognized (which it will be) so I don't have to feel so ashamed every time I tell friends where I'm going.

I absolutely love the outdoor area of Moor Pat. Can't help but feel like I'm a backyard kickback. Turf, few wooden benches, outdoor games - this place is so perfect for those warmer days and nights. Indoor is pretty spacious too and there's lots of tap beers on draft and plenty of other libations to be had! I'd highly recommend checking this place out if you haven't already.

What a great addition to Williamsville. Williamsville has been lacking a place that really focuses on great beer. Sure there have been restaurants that have a few good beers on tap, but they were restaurants, restaurants with beer. This place is a tavern....beer first....food second. They have 20 taps, plus an assortment of speciality cans and bottles. They also have booze and wine as well. The beer assortment is great. A wide variety and great picks for each of the genres. You can get samples and if you don't want a full portion they will pour you a 5 oz sample of anything at a reduced price. The bar is a perfect size for the crowd and not too bright and not too loud. A limited menu is there consisting of sausages and fries (with fancy dipping sauces) for your friends that complain about being hungry at bars. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Sean, Jackie, and Connor are all great bartenders and are part of the reason once you go, you'll come back. In the spring they'll have a beer garden that looks small but promising. Go check it out!

I recently moved to Buffalo and I LOVE this place! My favorite wings I've had In Buffalo! Chef quality bar food. Great selection of beers and a super cool owner! Bonus for me is the hiking trail near by, we usually go on hikes and walk over here for some delicious food and beer and get to bring our pup with us on the dog friendly patio!

Best tap list I have found in the area yet. Cozy pub vibe. You can swing by once a week and pretty much the whole tap list has changed. Definite go-to for unique and hard to find beers.
