Rohall's is one of my favorite bars in buffalo. It is a newer place but lacks the sterile caned suburban feel most other new bars have. Unique furniture from reclaimed bowling alleys and an antique bar are in this great pub. Greg, the owner, supports events in the bicycling community that I've attended there. Their beer selection goes from Hamm's to micro-brew and are all reasonably priced. I've even had a Tom & Jerry there in the winter that was amazing.
Review Source:I have to praise this bar yet again. Â This is closest I've ever got to a "Cheers"-like bar in Buffalo. Â Especially on a Sunday afternoon.
The owner, Greg, is behind the bar serving up the best bloody mary's in Buffalo. Â He usually has an old movie playing (this past weekend he had an Alfred Hitchcock double feature). Â The bar stools are occupied by friends - and if you don't know them, by the end of the third round of shots or bloody mary's, you will!! Everyone shouts comments at the television ("Watch out behind you, you idiot!!!").
A Sunday evening with movies effortlessly transitions into "vinyl night" with another great bartender, Ambrosia. Â She brings in her vast collection of excellent tunes and plops them on the turn table.
Shots all around to my new friends.
Hidden behind a worn facade on Amherst Street, this clean, bright and spacious Black Rock bar is everything you want in a neighborhood joint, especially on a Sunday afternoon. Roll up around 1pm, and you'll find them screening an old movie behind the bar, serving up fresh pork pies from B-lo's up-and-coming English Pork Pie Co., and slinging the best darn Bloody Marys in town -- for FOUR DOLLARS apiece!
I got hip to this awesome deal thanks to a UYE hosted by the lovely Christina H and Rebecca D, who apparently have their fingers on the pulse of awesome here in the B-lo. Big ups to them for organizing a hair-of-the-dog outing one sunny summer Sunday recently, and opening my eyes to this goodness. Thanks ladies!
The bar's a comfortable place to sit here, as you can catch the action on the screen -- on the day we visited, they had "Rebel Without A Cause" screening quietly, allowing us to talk or listen as we liked. But there are also plenty of tables, and a whole back room that would be perfect for parties. (Cue gears turning in my head for future funtimes to be held here...)
Bonus: Rohall's let me bring my cold-brewed Stumptown iced coffee from Delish into the bar, proof positive of the warm hospitality Rohall's is rocking. Also a huge bonus, as it is not a Sunday for me unless I have upwards of three beverages in front of me at all times. (Beverage three should definitely be a water in this case, especially if you're getting your Bloody extra spicy!)
After you finish your drinks and movie-watching, you can wander on down that way and grab dessert at Delish, go bowling at Voelker's, or even keep eating at Lucy's or Black Rock Kitchen & Bar. Amherst Street darlings all, and all special in their own snow-flakey ways -- but honestly, those Bloodys might make Rohall's my new favorite spot in Black Rock!
The first thing you'll do when you leave this place is thank the person that introduced you to it. There is a reason this bar is named one of the best bars you never heard of. Though this seems like your local "dive" from the outside it is much better kept than that. I'm not a huge beer connoisseur but when I want a beer I'm always looking for something unique or at least a decent selection. Rohall's passes that test but for all the liquor ladies like me - you will love Greg. Not only does he bring so much of his personality to this bar (check out the Sunday events) but he is a great bartender. Two words, 4 syllables : Bloody Mary. 'Nuf said.
Note : Unused space in the back appears to be for dining - this bar does not offer food. Except for bar snacks :)
I came here for an event thrown by the Social Media Club of Buffalo for 4sqday! I don't even use 4sq but I still really wanted to come to this event and check this bar out.
It's a nice neighborhood bar. Very laid back with ample bar space and neat booths right in the front. They also play awesome music. There is an enormous space in the back with lots of tables and a piano. I love bars that have space to sit and enjoy the company you came with (or meet new people!)
They did not have many beers on tap but  had no qualms with the selection (they had Rusty Chain and the Flying Bison IPA) and their liquor selection seemed average. Inexpensive drinks and a friendly atmosphere... and it's pretty close to my house!
Small, cozy bar. I wouldn't call it a dive bar, as it is clean, well-kept, has flat screen tvs, and friendly staff. It is a nice low key place that had both staff and regulars who were very kind. They had maybe 5 beers on tap, but they took care to choose good or interesting main stream beers, such as pilsner urquell, flying bison, sierra nevada, etc. They have a more extensive selection in the bottle. Liquor selection appeared smaller to me, but it did the job. Drinks are well-priced to cheap. Cozy joint I wouldn't mind making my stomping ground if it were closer to my front door.
Review Source:What a classic Black Rock building and bar. Laid back place, local beer available with nice people serving it. They love the area and support local efforts which makes them even better. Â Only bummer I do not think they have food-but it is close enough to Wegmans I guess you could wander over there for food.
