Rec Room

Back in 2023, I was at the event for a quick concert. Had a great time listening to Jordana Bryant when she was there. Security was great! Space wise, lol! How much do people want to be there? Oh! They wanted to be there! Couldn’t ask for more!

Not what I expected. This bar stands out from the rest. I came to see Adelitas Way play. The space is clean and provides plenty of room. The staff is excellent.

Very cool and spacious venue for concerts. They have a neat outdoor area upstairs where you can get some fresh air and smokers can smoke.Their prices for drinks are a bit steep ($17 for two high noons), but I guess that is normal for Chippewa.All the bartenders and staff were super friendly and quick with serving.

This was my first time seeing Dueling Piano’s. The show by far exceeded my expectations! I had an amazing time and can’t wait to do it again!

Great spot for punk/emo shows! Good food, fast service

Im here from Toronto for a concert and holy moly these bartenders are attentive and professional. They consistently keep watch and are on top of everything.As a restaurant worker as well, these guys are phenomenal.The sense of security is amazing and service is fast and pleasentAmazing menu selection as well

Not for young people. Went to dueling pianos for my boyfriend’s birthday.Paid ahead of time, only to not be seated next to each other. Even the hostess had trouble finding our table after she told us to go find it and we couldn’t. We weren’t helped to our seats in a huge room full of people. Could barely see the people who were playing piano. Just all in all, for a first time experience with this venue and as much money as we paid; I’m not impressed. Just moved here decided to try this place out and definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Food and drinks are a little pricey but the quality is good, venue looks so much different than any other thats been in its place. Needs more seating, sound is pretty good for live music anywhere except right by the stage, the drop speakers project more outwardly than downward. Could use floor speakers at the stage or behind for a more rounded sound.

Nice place lots of Room, rooftop patio been there a few times over the years. Seems like Friday is busy for the clubs in that area. Saturday not so much till later getting ready to leave around 11:30 was just starting to get busy, but other than that always a good experience there. Bottoms up used to be good but last few times I was there had virtually no seating, & all crammed on a small dance floor? (Even though no laser lights or anything like that I remember) & Hardly any tables for drinks ect, rec room is a much better laid out club with same prices & more space. VENU is the ultimate for college age & crowds, rec room is between bottoms up and venue atmosphere wise kind of The Sweet spot club wise.

Small show venue. Great upstairs area for getting away from the loud bar or going into the smoking area. Acoustics are a bit off for really loud or heavy bands. Bring ear plugs. Food is decent.

Went to Dueling Pianos and had so much fun. The staff and service were great. The musicians were talented and personable. Its a great time. Interesting menu.

Dueling pianos was the most fun I’ve had on a Thursday night in ages! This is an interactive, live music, full band, show with a video wall and visuals for a memorable night out. The talent here is just that, super talented! This is a really cool experience and something new to this area. It felt like a show that would be in Key West, on a tropical resort or a cruise ship.Guests are encouraged to pick music from a song catalog and make requests. Bump your song up to the front of the line by sending a tip on Venmo. The bigger the tip the night priority you will have. You can also embarrass your friends for $5 by having a message displayed in their honor across the giant video screens. Tambourines and maracas are passed out to guests and everyone is encouraged to partake in the show, dance and if you feel encouraged can sit and dance on top the back of the booths. The show itself is 5+ stars!The menu is currently limited and is available via QR code. There is an extensive drink menu with something for everyone. Craft cocktails, bubble shots, craft beers, wine and buckets of High Noons and spiked seltzer’s will get everyone loosened up and ready to sing. The service was very good, helpful and accommodating but not too pushy. The reason I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the food. I know right now things are tough and I am thrilled they have a food menu at all. The menu was pretty basic and had decent bar food type of options. I was disappointed because I ordered the wing dip and it came out cold, like it was just pulled out of the fridge. The server told me it came in a crock, so it would be hot. The flavor was pretty good but heating it up would have made it so much better. The server was able to get me celery instead of pita to dip which was helpful and accommodating. But I need to say the celery was pretty sad looking and on it’s last legs. It’s not great that I noticed that after a few drinks and in darker lighting conditions. Either way this isn’t a place you are coming for a memorable meal and it wouldn’t prevent me from coming back. But a few adjustments would have made this even better.Since there is limited seating you are best off to make a reservation. There is a $10 cover charge for the show which runs close to 4 hours. Walk ins are welcome if there is seating available. There are seating options downstairs and upstairs. Each option has some pros and cons. Downstairs is a front seat and close to the action. You are able to interact with the singers and musicians. This area is much busier and you can get up and dance with other guests. By the end of the night you will have played the tambourine at least twice. The upstairs has more room, is less crowded and has a birds eye view. You can see the show very well but don’t get the same experience as being front and center. The other perks of being upstairs are there is an outdoor smoking lounge and some pretty neat neon sign/ art installation spots for the perfect selfies.

This was my 1st time to this establishment it was great. The bar is absolutely amazing. I seen some bands play here when I was there. The staff was very polite. Fast service at the bar for drink. The layout for the bar inside was great for live band.

First time that I have played this venue. Highly recommended.

Went out for my friends birthday, and had a blast. Very responsive bartenders, and fun vibes for the silent disco.

Really enjoyed the show my brother and I saw here. Not what I expected from a bar on Chipawa. I half expected (ok, maybe more than half) a really crowded , overly loud place with bouncer meatheads comparing the lenth of their crew-cuts, and unhappy cranky and snooty bartenders but found quite the opposite:The mood was friendly, the staff and bartenders were nice and approachable and the venue was intimate. Also there is plenty of parking in ramps close by. I would definitely go again and so glad I didnt fall victim to my my own preconceived notions. Really cool layout as well.

Great time! Highly recommend going on a night they have the dualing pianos playing!!

Excellent dueling pianos. Bartender was amazing. Quesadilla could have been cooked longer but overall an amazing time. We will definitely be back.

Dueling Pianos night is awesome! They made a dish gluten free for us.

I saw a band play here, and the place was completely packed. Everyone was fully masked, and they carded at the door. Everyone who could drink got a wristband, and everyone underage got both hands sharpied for clarity. We didnt end up needing to ask the bar for water (nor did we drink), but it was a wonderful time.

If you are looking for an all around good time Dueling Pianos is where you want to go. It’s fun for all ages (20s on up). When the whole bar sings along with a song we all know there’s nothing better. Music is great, musicians are great and the atmosphere is great. I’ve been twice now and haven’t been disappointed either time. Will definitely be going back.

This is a great place to see a show in downtown Buffalo, NY. I really like the place and have been there for three concerts now. The sound quality there is actually very good, the bar is very well-stocked if you partake in alcoholic beverages, you have two floors to choose from to see the show, theres a pool table, two arcade basketball games, a shuffle puck table, and an electronic dartboard as well. Upstairs theres a smoking area which is fully outside (if its raining you will get wet out there) which is really handy for concerts, and while the food overall is a little too expensive in my opinion, its not that bad compared to what you might pay at one of the restaurants in the immediate area. The menu has a few interesting things on it along with a few bar staples, so just about anyone could find something to order. However, I dont remember any vegan or gluten-free options. Neither of those things applies to me, so there very well could be something for some vegetarians/vegans/gluten-free options and I just didnt notice or dont remember. The staff seems pretty decent, and they do work very hard when theres a show with lots of people looking for drinks. I just hope they have more bartenders when bigger shows with more patrons. Food and booze prices again are not that far from what youd get charged at any of the other downtown bars/nightclubs, however Ive only been there for concerts, so there may or may not be different pricing schemes depending on whats going on. If you are looking for that small club, intimate concert venue, this is one of the very best places for that. Its just awesome for shows, and dare I say I like this place MORE than the Ballroom on Main Street for a show. Id happily give them 8.75 out of 10, and will absolutely return any time a show I want to see goes there.

My favorite place to spend a Saturday night on Chippewa. It is definitely the best bar on the strip, and most popular by far. The line is always down the street- so plan accordingly! The Dueling Pianos event and Karaoke is also a blast at Rec Room. The upstairs is a lot of fun too! The neon signs and arcade area make it a perfectly Insta-worthy spot. You can’t come to Rec Room and not get some cute photos! The staff is always great and super friendly. Also super fast too! Hats off to Chris and Dale for creating such an amazing space in downtown Buffao

Dan, the outstanding manager, was polite professional and catered to my needs. Something you dont see regularly at neighboring business. Our experience was fantastic, and we cant wait to go again. Great place, great food. Definitely going back.

Bit small in there but had a good time at the show

The rec room is a great place. Small venue that creates a great atmosphere for intimate shows. 😊There is some seating in addition to the standing room. They offer a bar and food. Lots of parking right around the venue.

Small venue with great sound! I got to be right up front for my favorite band, be close to the bar, and still be able to move around the place! Staff are friendly and efficient. Checking COVID vaccine cards at the door right now too, so I felt pretty safe being around a small crowd.

Was a great show but was overly packed for sure ! The outdoor area upstairs was really cool .

Staff is great food is good drinks are very reasonable for the area. Would definitely recommend for a concert or a fun night out on tje town

We got to see an amazing band called Islands there . Best show we have ever seen . The sound was great and the bouncer Josh made the experience a 10/10. I can’t wait to see another show at the Rec Room!!

Went here for a concert, was awesome. Food was way too expensive. They did serve mocktails, which was really nice for the younger audience to feel more grown. I was able to find seating because most people preferred to stand, but there was not much seating in general.

The Rec Room is a very clean and welcoming concert venue. I played a show there with my band and I was incredibly impressed with their sound system and their staff.

The Rec Room is great. Cool staff and always really good music.

Rec Room is a great music & bar venue, definitely worth stopping by whenever they have music events going on! Whether it’s during pianos, Emo night Brooklyn, or another concert, Rec Room provides a great atmosphere!

Awesome bands tonight.

Great place for a show. The atrium smoking area is an excellent addition. Wish we would have tried the food but we had already eaten. Will make sure to next time and update.

We went there for piano night, dueling pianos on the bar and XOXO Pop Band as well, was a great time, service was attentive and quick, food was very good (for a bar) and the staff was top notch, nice place, prices are very fair considering current Bidenflation....

Do NOT go here from a game!! The service today was Terrible(Chloe), she forgot about us, apparently was partying with her own friends at the bar while working and then gave us a bill (not a detailled bill) that included a mandatory 25% gratuity regardless of the service! That is not consumer friendly! Just avoid those type of scams.

Rec room never fails to provide a good time! Their Friday night live karaoke is a must, best karaoke in Buffalo. Saturday nights are filled with fun, dancing, and great music. The bartenders and manager provide excellent service!

My wife and i saw the band Sick of it All last night at the Rec Room, it was our first time there, we had a excellent time, lots of staff behind the bar, so you didnt have to wait long for service, this place is a great place to see bands play live, we wil definitely be coming back!!!

I’m giving this experience 3 stars for several reasons; one is you pay money to request songs, BUT they NEVER played any of our songs or other peoples for that matter, they chose the music they wanted to play and they played it badly. The talent of the singers was poor and the host needs more experience. Pretty disappointed as I was hoping to hear songs we all know and have sing alongs. However service was good as was the very large pretzel we ordered.

Okay so the building is cool the vibes tho are v low, cuz of multiple things. First bouncers have extreme ego of needing to be alpha and not considerate what so ever. Secondly, bartenders don’t have any consistency, the same exact drink order of two drinks can be 16$ or 26$ depending on the time of night and how drunk you seem. There’s also not really anyone that goes there anymore so if you can get in somewhere else do it!

Would leave zero stars if I could . The beers and bottles we ordered came out in Home Depot buckets with ice.. trashy. The music was absolutely terrible all night to the point the place was dead on a Saturday night . And to top it off security would rather physically fight your group rather then giving you any type of warning . I would not recommend this place to any young folks trying to have a good night ! Not worth the money by any means. DO NOT RENT VIP BOOTHS HERE . You been warned

We have been there for dueling pianos three times! We always have a great time! So much fun!!

It was a fun place to go after my daughters wedding...There was a 10.00 cover and we went to the second d story after have a round of Bubble ShotsThe crowd was mixed ages, groups and reasons for being out, wedding, baby shower, bachelorette party. People mingled, danced and drank - nice night.When we were leaving, there were police all over the street and they were searching the area. We didnt have any problems leaving and never knew what happened.

Wow!!!! 🤩We just happened upon this place on a Thursday evening while in town. We were NOT disappointed! Dueling Pianos 716 was there. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! The musicians entertained and interacted with the crowd. The music and overall vibe was amazing! Multiple tambourines placed around to encourage dancing and fun! Great place!!!

Been here plenty of times. the two floors and patios are really nice, but the music sucked. it was Halloween weekend, youd think theyd have their best DJ, but there was just bad choice after bad choice. its a club! you wanna be able to dance your heart out and if the music is bad youre just awkwardly shuffling around. it was really a let down

Completely updated look, comfortable seats, clean bar, and attentive staff. The stage is right by the front door so you can hear the music from the street. Usually featuring local artists, this place is worth a visit- especially if you know the band -the crowd feels electric when a band hits their stride.

Not a good venue for bands!! Everytime I’ve been here so far they rush all the bands out and never let them finish their full set! This time one of the band members told me they were being rushed out so they can set up for their stupid karaoke? I feel like the bands you bring in should be more important than that!

Karaoke night with a live band so much fun

As a concert goer, phenomenal, I love it here. But I have to give my opinion as a local musician, their sound guy needs to level the live mixes A LOT better. Could barely hear vocals Sunday night.Editing to 5* after response from the owner - Fantastic to hear! Specific recommendations for the techs, turn the bass down!! Bigger and louder isnt always better haha!

Boss place, great people & awesome bartenders. Go have a blast, youll Thank me

Atmosphere was set perfectly, music played was exactly what I would want when heading to a club/bar. Service was spot on and quick, even though the venue was pretty packed. Having space upstairs helps, as well as the upstairs bar and outdoor balcony. It may be colder outside, but its just what you need to cool down after dancing. Personally not huge in the bar scene, but I definitely would love to come back here.

I went to a singles event here. We had the whole upstairs and I was expecting pricey but not the case drinks were within reason. The food I have not tried but I would love to come back for another event. They hold music venues and other events here.

Went to the dualing piano show on the recommendation of a friend, and while the performers (especially the red head female singer, and the violin player)worked hard to put on a good show, it was disappointing compared to other dualing piano shows we have attended. While I like loud music, the sound was terrible, and all the songs were played at a too fast tempo with no real crowd interaction.The bartenders did a good job and drink prices are reasonable. Ordered the chicken tacos and while they were very good, paid $17.00 for 3 very small tacos.Also be aware that gratuity is included on your bill which I didnt see that and tipped again.

Best sports bar I’ve been to in Buffalo. Great energy, great prices, surprisingly amazing food.

Awesome bar find in downtown buffalo. Attended on a Friday bandioke night, which was excellent - much more fun than karaoke to a hifi! The bands singer was escellent too when they played songs as a band.

Had our company Happy Hour at Dueling Piano night and it was more than amazing. The food was great but the way everything was so easy to coordinate thank you to Courtney & Dale made it the 5 star experience. Look forward to see what else rec Room has to offer us!

This place is a lot of fun with their live band karaoke. You better be amazing at karaoke to sing here. This is definitely an upper level crowd that doesnt mess around when it comes to singing. Although if you cant sing and go against my recommendation, the crowd will still be as equally as nice to you. The drinks are fairly cheap.

What a fantastic little club! How have I never been here before? I gotta see Voivod and finally scratch them off my list. Friendly staff, and great sound. It looks like they had a kitchen too. Would recommend!

Surprisingly great environment for a show. Plenty of space on the ground floor to see the band and additional space upstairs if you want to listen but be away from the crowd.Clean bathrooms, friendly and rapid service.

Great venue for shows! Had a blast seeing TWRP and the Protomen. Great inspiration for my own music career.

A bit over priced. They tacked on a mandatory 20% tip for a table of 4, nothing particularly special in the service, and food prices are already 50% higher than normal restaurants. Dueling pianos was a fun time though, worth doing once. Expect more spending to request songs $5-10 per request via Venmo in addition to entrance fee.

This is one of my all time favorite venues in Buffalo! Intimate, great sound and always a great crowd.

Honestly it wasnt very busy but the live band was awesome, the drinks were strong and staff was very nice. Lots of places for photos and playing games upstairs. Very energetic and lively crowd. I would definitely go back.

Amazing venue for the screens! We had a video heavy corporate event and their staff did an amazing job. Great place to party.

Horrible spot, only for people looking to go no where in life. So if thats you this is your spot!

One of the best times Ive ever had in Buffalo hands-down! As someone in their 30s going out can be challenging haha, but Dueling Pianos on Thursday nights is the answer! We had so much fun, sang and danced the whole time, the drinks were fantastic, and it started around 7 and ended at 10. Perfection!

The security here is absolutely terrible. They have no idea how to do their job and are unwarrantably aggressive. They look to pick fights instead of rose over problems and it’s embarrassing. As a buffalo native I will steer away from here at all costs. I honestly don’t feel safe at this club.

Great venue and very accommodating for disabilities! The booths are spacious and the drinks are well priced. Over all good vibes

Went for a concert.

Rec room is the home of live band karaoke! That is, a live band that backs you while you sing a song! The whole crowd goes wild, everyone sings along and is very easy going. Great atmosphere, great drinks, not much else you can ask for.

Pretty nice place. I was the DD but it was a cool scene. More hopping that Id expected for Buffalo. Lots of young people and definitely a diverse crowd. I bet it would be especially fun on a day with music.

Had a great time. This place reminds me a bit of the Waiting Room. The venue is narrow and long... Tables are available also. TVs are everywhere so it looks lime a good spot for sports and other event. Looks g forward to my next visit!

I never write reviews and I actually had a great time here but they lost my debit card behind the bar. I returned multiple times over the next few days and was told the same story, they can’t find it. The staff seemed dismissive and unwilling to help even though that’s a pretty serious situation. I felt like they did not care that they wasted my time and put me at a disadvantage for coming to their establishment. They didn’t even offer to comp the drinks charge (that somehow went through even though the card is nowhere to be found). Looks like I’m gonna have to find a new favorite spot.

Cool place, very solid beer choice and attentive bar staff during a concert. Only downside is that they didnt have screens operating so I couldnt really see the band at all. Sound was good though!

My only grievance with this place is that I never knew how amazing this Dueling Pianos night was until I recently went and I have been missing out for far too long! Great atmosphere, amazing food, tasty drinks, killer music and brunch! If I see you there, bubble shots on me ;)

Great set up and sound system. Back room is large enough to comfortably fit three bands. Second floor has plenty of space to set up merch. Seems to fill up fast so arrive early for a good spot

Great bar, but horrible as a music venue. Layout in long and narrow. Very likely you wont be able to see the stage unless youre right in front for over 6. Sound quality isnt the greatest. Probably would not go back for a concert, but would for just drinks.

My first time at the venue was to see Big D & The Kids Table. The layout is amazing and the acoustics are excellent. Liked the bar staff and the house sound guy is a genius!

This is a really great venue. great sound quality for the show. fun atmosphere. good bar staff.

My friends and I had an awesome time. The band was great and engaging with the crowd. Food was good and reasonable priced. We are planning to go again!!

The rec room is an embarrassment. The dress code is absurd and the men at the door are extremely rude as they believe they are “real cops” I would definitely not recommend as they turned everyone away from the door which would explain why they have no customers. I’m not someone to write a review, but it was the worst experience I’ve had in Buffalo…

$5 cover for karaoke night is WAY too much given the fact that I spent years going to Nashville bars and never paid a cover there. I also tried to come here on my birthday in February and the bouncers let me and probably a hundred other people wait outside in line in the freezing cold for an hour and a half while never letting in One person who wasnt on the guest list. what a joke of an establishment.

One of my new favorite venues in Buffalo! Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. The place feels new and clean. The whole day was a pleasure. The food in house was great!

Intimate small venue. Cool decor.Great sound for both bands. Very friendly staff. Good food.

Good space. If you ever feel too crowded they have multiple patios to escape to . 2 bars setup so it wasnt hard getting a drink.

Worst bar on Chippewa. I’ve witnessed this multiple times but last night 2 bouncers jumped me on the street as I had my back turned to them walking away. Security here looks to start fights not prevent them and the owner must be okay with it considering it happens all the time. Extremely unprofessional.

Had the best time here with great performers and staff. Will definitely go again.

Nice vibe, good drinks, food okay music on point. Enjoyed my visit

Bouncers were untrained and unprofessional. Came in for a road trip from New Jersey and had an ID bent and tossed in a bin after barely looking at it. Didn’t allow a group of 22 year olds in because they can’t read IDs.

Ive always been a fan of RecRoom (LBK!) but the supper club theyre doing right now is BEYOND stellar. The food was incredible, the service was amazing, and the experience as a whole made us forget this ridiculous pandemic for a while. 10/10 would recommend

Great Buffalo venue. Security was good, sound was good. Smallish stage and floor, but definitely a place Ill check out again. (I was there for Grayscale | Hot Mulligan | WSTR | Lurk).

One of my favorite venues in Buffalo. Every show i’ve been to here has been incredible.

Seen Beneath The Buried and Me And Carbomb absolutely killer show. Bartenders were beautiful and attentive. Place was packed and L shaped which is kinda awkward

Easily Buffalos premier venue for live shows. Sound is fantastic. If tall people obscure your view head upstairs to the balcony. Tall pours - bonus.

Is there anything this club doesn’t do? Be sure to check out a weekday concert or the always wicked fun live band karaoke on Friday nights!! First rate all around, especially behind the bar!- The Story Garage

Great place to go with friends and have a great time

Nice smaller venue and an intimate setting for shows.

Saw the Grabbitz concert here. Nice like bar. Id recommend this place for sure. Great bartender the night we went.

Loud music, decent crowd okayish club policies. Overall a safe bet if you want to party during the weekends.

Dueling Pianos is a BLAST! The crowd is always a fun time and it’s a great way to have fun on a weekday! The staff is very engaging and hospitable as well!

Very hit or miss. this is the closest you can get to a European style club in Buffalo. unfortunately management believes that karaoke is an acceptable form of an entertainment on a Friday night. perhaps on hertel. please encourage your Saturday night dj to work on fridays as well. this club has all the proper bones, please dream bigger. potentially a 6/5. :)

Great venue, excellent place

Youll feel like family even tho you dont know anybody lmao HAVE FUN‼️

Great drinks, awesome bartenders and best of all great get down music! Overall a great atmosphere if your looking for a bomb night out!

Great venue, I was here for the second time on 2/24 to see Debrained, Soulfly, Diceros, Bodybox and Skinflint!

Drink prices are criminal. $6 for one can of Labatt blue light? No, just stop already.

Absolutely an amazing time amazing atmosphere the bouncer Shane was extremely helpful and good looking Id go back just to see him

Nice venue with very friendly staff. small room but a capable sound system if treated right. lots of tvs showing games, the usual.

Cool place! Part music venue part club with the best of both. Great Audio and good atmosphere and the best bartenders!!

Bartenders were amazing. Sound was amazing. I cant wait for another show here. Seriously such an awesome venue.

Very Fun and interactive experiance

Awesome venue with an upstairs lounge. Fun drinks and some quick bites too. Variety of music shows and live band karaoke.

Amazing brunch, great service, chill atmosphere! Cant wait to do it again with my gang gang!

Great little venue with a nice selection at the bar, if youre looking at a show, check it out

Great venue for bands to play and amazing service at the bar. I highly recommend you ser a show and get a drink here.

Rudest bouncers in the city. One of the shoved me and I said excuse me, and he threatened to kick me out lmao... for saying excuse me. If you wanna be shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of college kids and bad music then here ya go. Downtown isn’t the same.

All tables are reservation only so u cannot sit anywear except the patio. Music wasnt great imo

Nice little spot. Music sounds great live. Had no clue they served food, and it was surprising very good.

Big warehouse type of room with some bench tables. Bar staff good drinks was decent.

One of the better clubs on chip! So much fun and if you get there early its not as packed!

Dress code is VERY Discriminating. Drinks are overly priced. Bouncers are extreamly rude and unproffesional. Not a place id recommend to anyone.

Went to see a summer salt concert. Absolutely incredible. The energy is so good in there. I would definitely go see another performance there.

Went for a disco themed night. Only heard a handful of disco sounds the entire time, but otherwise fun.

Its cool that there is an actual music venue on chippewa. its pretty much the same layout and crowd as the previous iteration of this space but centered around live music.

This place had an awesome vibe and generous bar tenders. Great venu for concerts!

Went for a concert. It was super fun. Staff were polite and the bartenders were quick!

Awesome venue, polite bar staff. Well be looking to attend more events in the future.

Staff was on point. Friend almost fainted on the floor and the quick response was amazing from them

This place is rockin but let me tell you... The chicken fingers here... Meaty, saucy, and yummy! MUST TRY!!!

This place is disgusting warm beers. Workers are not friendly. And the crowds ghetto waste of time and money.

Fantastic acoustics, small and personal venue. Loved the show I saw there!

Great venue. I only wish we had something like this in Rochester.

They get some cool shows in here, and the bar is pretty decent, fun atmosphere

The booths are huge, bar tenders are quick with orders and the music they have is killer. 🙏👌

Saw sewerperson live and he was amazing 😍👏 drinks cost too much but they do everywhere

Love the atmosphere. One of the nicest small venues Ive been to.

Rec Room and/or After Dark need to train their security to at least pretend people at shows are human and show even slightest bit of care.

Staff was very nice and friendly. Would visit again.

Great atmosphere! Excellent wait staff awesome food... The pizza in pictures is a single serving

Small, overcrowded. Buffalo police walk around like they own the place (Very strange). First and last time.

Great atmosphere. All the ladies in the bathroom are my new besties!!

Really cool place, never been there but if need be wed definitely hang out there again.

Great venue, good location. Would go to more concerts here

Came from Toronto for a concert. Awesome venue to see small bands.

Clean, well stocked bar, friendly/attentive bartenders, good sound.

Great live music, small personal venue!

Awesome kareoke night!! The whole atmosphere was super fun, and solid security

Very cool. Would recommend. Show sounded great and staff were very professional and accommodating.

Very loud music making it hard to hear but overall pretty good and fun place.

Great place heard good things about the food didnt try but will on my next visit

Great place downtown Buffalo! Great vibes! Lauren lolo the bartender is cool! Check it out!
