#BrandonLikesWIngs #3: Nine-Eleven Tavern - South Buffalo

Image
The top answer I hear when I ask "where is the best place in Buffalo for wings?" is Nine-Eleven Tavern in South Buffalo. I've driven down South Park hundreds of times and never knew Nine-Eleven was right on the corner of SP and Bloomfield. The bar sits right in the middle of a residential area and looks like a townee bar. When you walk in, that's exactly what it is. There is a small bar that sits 16-20 people max with 2-3 small bar top tables. Lining the back wall is a shuffleboard table. If you make a left when you walk in there is a small dinning area. Luckily for Marty and I we went on an off night and the bar was not crowded. We heard on some nights its jam packed and they run out of wings.         We got a seat right in front of a TV that was on ESPN and to our left was a "Yankess encore" game from 2007. We heard couple of locals talking about their days, Marty even made a friend while he was sitting there. . . . . . This was my first time ever go

#BrandonLikesWings #2: Dalmatia Hotel - Riverside/Buffalo

Our next journey took us to the Black Rock/Riverside are to Dalmatia Hotel. If you are not greeted by the regulars as they smoke on the patio you will be greeted by a bunch sitting at the bar. If you're lucky you might be greeted by Prim. The cute little pug of the bartenders. Dalmatia hotel is a dive bar with locals spilling out the door. You can tell the people at the bar come here often. The atmosphere is friendly, the bartenders and cooks are so personable. They have music and TouchTunes if you're into that. Darts, pool, a bowling video game, and even offer Tarot card readings on Friday. Corn Hole tournaments on Wednesdays. 3 TV's. One with sports, and two with local channels. They offer popcorn and a wide menu of apps, and entrees. People of all ages frequent this bar. Cheap drinks and good food. The only draw back of my experience today was the door was open which made it breezy and the cigarette smoke from the patio came into the bar. With all that said, this

#BrandonLikesWings - Glen Park Tavern - Williamsville, NY

Image
In the Heart of Williamsville sits Glen Park Tavern. A popular spot for not only the towny crowd but also the influx of traffic for “Music on Main” I have heard “try the wings at GPT”  When you walk in there is a long bar down the left side. Usually crowded with people over 50.  Small place with a lot of people.  Seeing how this is my first go at this, I want to let you know I will not only be rating the Wings (the most important part) but the place and the atmosphere. Let me preface that these are MY opinions along with help and guidance from people along the way. For the establishment I always want certain things when I am enjoying a beer and wings (besides wings) Establishment: 1. TouchTunes 2. Dart Board 3. Pool Table 4. TV’s to watch sports  5. Good atmosphere.   6. Beer Selection For the wings: 1 . Taste 2. Crispness  3. Sauce  4. Presentation.  Along the way I will have friends and family join me while trying different wings, i.e. BBQ, HottestWing (Marty), and
