The Pub

the place smells of urine, because they never clean.
would love to be the health inspector who gets paid off to pass this place.
being a heath inspector must be a cushy job in depew.
place is filled with amateur bookmakers, neoga st tough guys and this one guy who is always there talking to himself.

the owner lives upstairs and has cameras all over. what is going on here?
they bribe customer's to give them positive google reviews for a single order of wings. yes really, the sign says print out your positive review and we will give you an order of chicken wings.

The bar staff is horrible and not knowledgeable at all. ask for a muddled old fashioned and one of the chicks behind the bar might beat you up.  they are forced to tend bar and cook. be prepared to wait for drinks. your pizza will be made in a toaster oven, pretty sweet huh?

my home burned down and was forced to take a temporary residence near this dump. many nights were spent there because everything in depew closes by 9pm. they repaired my home and I havent been back to this trashpit. I have been back to  Dee's Firehouse, which has it's own image problems, at least their food is better.

Ps. someone should tell them that projectors and screens went out a long time ago. remember, they were all the rage in the 80's. now you can buy them at any walmart or officemax. the ones that they have here arent even HD. hide the wires. I know you fancy yourself a sportsbar, but I shouldnt see wire's running everywhere I look. Im embarrassed that I even drank or ate there. I need a shower after this.

If this was in my homeland of England, they could never get away with being named "The Pub" because we have one on every street corner. But it's not, it's in Buffalo. So given that it is in Buffalo it makes sense that the star attraction would be... wings!

I've updated this review since my original, because I think I was a bit harsh on them. Finding good wings at 2am is really unusual in Buffalo, although Jim's are pretty good and if you're near Zip's on Hertel they're the Holy Grail of Wings. But serving food til the wee hours... The Pub should get three stars alone for that. They're not the best wings I've ever had, but they definitely hit the spot and satisfy at 2am, and they're definitely not expensive. Just remember not to get the extras like celery and bleu cheese and such if you don't want them, because they will bring the price up.

I haven't been back here in ages, so I'm due another visit to see how things are going now. But for wings at 2am, they're definitely one of your better options, especially in the Transit Road area :)

original review

The best thing about this place is that they will cook for you until 3am, and there's not many authentic Buffalo food spots that will do that. However their food is hit or miss and their cheap prices are ruined by the fact that they overcharge you every time you order, probably for extras you don't ask for.

They have some decent bar wings, the hot wings can be good, the charbroiled barbecue are excellent, and some of the best prices, but it's hit or miss. Sometimes the bartender (who is often rather attractive, as bartenders are) will be eager to throw your wings in and make them perfectly. Sometimes they will be burned, or undercooked, or worse still, they will leave them sitting around and forget about them while they go out back and lounge around, or serve endless rounds of beer to the swillers of Depew.

This place is down to a 3 now because the bad experiences outnumber the good, but it's still worth a try if you're a wing afficionado. I've heard their tacos are good, will try them next time. Skip the Garlic Bread.
