Mooney's Sports Bar & Grill

Yummy! Great Mac n cheese! Check this place out!

I love Mooneys! It's big, has a nice bar, and even an outdoor patio. While the drinks at the bar are great, it's the food that is amazing! I love the different types of Mac 'n cheese (especially the stuffed hot pepper one) and I have never had a bad meal! It's a great time during football season as well.

I have been a regular at Mooney's since it opened in 2010 and can definitely state that it is the best all-around sports bar and pub in Western New York.  What used to be a somewhat well-kept secret no longer is. You can expect a decent crowd almost every night.

Mooney's covers the basics - plenty of TVs, sports paraphernalia and beer.  However, it is the food that separates it from the other hundreds of pubs that essentially offer the same things.

The pizza, wings, subs and basic bar staples are all top notch.  (Isn't amazing how many places in Buffalo serve below par wings?)  Special attention should be given to the Stuffed Banana Pepper soup, which is quite possibly the best soup anywhere around.  I never order soup, but I do here.

There are numerous mac and cheese choices as well. Stick to the small or appetizer sizes, unless you are feeding 4 people.  The mac and cheese serving sizes are just massive.

Mooney's also serves a burger that is on par with the best in Buffalo - including Vizzi's and Ruzzine's.  Always flavorful and cooked correctly.

People on diets will find themselves severely tested here, but there are some options, including the salads and certain subs.

Mooney's prices have risen somewhat over the past year, which is probably more a reflection of its increasing popularity than anything else.  Basically, the prices have increased from "oddly low" to "fair".

Expect large crowds, especially for dinner on Fridays.  There are also bands and a Saturday DJ that turns the atmosphere to something resembling a club as it gets later. As you would expect, sporting events also draw in the local fans.
