  The wife and I were staying across the road at Holiday Valley and decided to give this a try. We mainly chose this establishment because it was within walking distance from where we were staying. We went last Saturday and the place was crowded. As others have said, there were too many children running around. Food and service were ok.

  By far, the best wings around!  Excellent pizza!  Great drink prices!  Also the most oddly decorated place that keeps your eyes moving.  Great place to take the whole family for dinner!  A fun place for adults to have a cold one!

  Cold Beer, Great Wings,, and a hole in the wall feel.  I love how they play the 1980's Warren Miller ski films while you eat.  This place was once an old train station and now a food and drink spot.  The only issue I have is lately alot more children and families will be in there on weekend nights.  Dad more your son of the bar stool so I can sit down and have a beer.

  I have a list of places where I have to eat when I go home to WNY.  I go to Sandy's Bakery and Sprague's Maple Farm for any meal I can get, Watson's Chocolate for sponge candy, Cuba Cheese Shop for cheese curd, Hogies for a steak sub, Renna's for pizza, Beef and Barrel for a beef on weck, Madigan's for a Blue and the Depot is where I get my wings.    
  
  The Depot is located a little outside of town and has more of an open floor plan than the bars downtown, so it doesn't feel quite so crowded, even when it's packed to the gills.  The menu is typical bar food for the most part and it's a fun atmosphere with crazy shit all over the walls, ceiling and floor (especially around Christmastime).  Outside of tourist season the hours of operation get a little sketchy. I would definitely recommend calling ahead to make sure they're open before heading over.
  
  The four stars are for nostalgia; if I were a tourist going there for the first time, I would probably give it three.

  This place has a unique, cool atmosphere and friendly staff.  Those are the high points.
  
  Where else are you going to find a former train station that has been converted into a shrine to the Rolling Stones?  Because that's what this place is.  From the posters on the wall to the photographs of Mick Jagger to the stained-glass trademark Lips-and-Tongue, this place worships the Rolling Stones and plays them constantly.  Other classic rock acts (Fleetwood Mac, etc) are also occasionally played, either on the stereo or the big-screen TV showing concert DVDs.
  
  Oh yeah, they serve pizza.  It's okay, nothing to rave about.  For what is essentially a bar, the liquor, beer and wine selection is pretty horrible, especially by Upstate New York standards.  I would expect a local brew, of which there are some amazing choices, but no.  You're getting Bud Lite.

  We ate here twice on a recent ski trip.  The first time was take away, and it was not so good.  But, while we picked it up, we saw lots of people enjoying it, and the food in looked a lot better.  So, we went back.
  
  The wings, if you ask for them wet, were very nice.  And the pizza was ok too.  Not great, but pretty good.  The beer was cold.  
  
  There is a lot of crap on their walls.  Including: a moose head, an upside down lawn deer, and a boar target for arrow practice.  They show ski movies, some say, on a big screen TV, but we saw snowmobile movies while we ate.  We would go back for sure if we wanted wings and pizza.
