    Hey guys thought I would post here for some info. I'm flying up Saturday to Buffalo this weekend from Dallas for the Bills and Cowboys game on Monday night. I was wondering if anyone had some picks for good night clubs and or places to eat in Buffalo. My girlfriend and I our in our mid 20's.

    Buffalo? *shudders*

    I second going to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. If you like German food there's a fun place called the Happy Wanderer which is authentic German, the new Fallsview Casino is nice too.

    I was just here last weekend, and had an amazing dinner! Not a bad price either, 9 people, full course meals, top shelf drinks, $900.00 including a 25% gratuity.

    I would suggest reservations and I might add - quite an impressive lineup of vehicles outside, Bentley, Phantom...galore!

    Plenty of bars and nightlife all around this place as well....

    FYI - The Chophouse is part of the Chippewa/entertainment district.
    Also, plan on getting to the stadium early; our fist MNF game in 13 years - all the tailgaters will be bringing their 'A' games to the parking lots. Tailgating is a bigger event than the game...........

    Go to the Anchor Bar...they invented Buffalo Wings. If you have the time, drive up the Canadian side of the Niagara River and go to a town called Niagara-on- the -Lake. One of the prettiest places anywhere.

    Thanks guys for all the info...yeah was planning on going to the anchor bar for sure and sounds like I will being going to the canadien side as well. Do you just need your drivers license still to get you into canada? Also how early do you think we should get there Monday for tailgaiting I have some family who are going to the game as well and they have been going for 30+ years so I'm sure they have it down by now.

    Not sure if the tighter border crossing rules are in effect for driving across to Canada, but just in case, if you have a passport, bring it!

    Also endorse going over to Niagara on the Lake. In fact, stay at one of the nice inns over there, tour some wineries, have some nice meals in various restaurants and then go back on Monday for the game.

    Post a trip report. I'd recommend time os a side trip to the falls.


    I'm thinking of going there for the big hockey game:

    January 1st, 2008 after the NHL, Sabres and the Buffalo Bills announced
    Monday that the Sabres will be hosting the Pittsburgh Penguins at Ralph
    Wilson stadium.

    Buffalo is a great long weekend trip. A group of friends that range between 7-14 make it up there every year. Friday night is Chippewa St., Saturday night is Casino Niagara and The Sun Downer, (Joey would love this place as it is the top rated strip club in North America), Sunday is a full day of tailgating and a Bills game, and Monday is driving back home. This year we went to the home opener again the Broncos, and it was a GREAT trip as always. 2nd row seats off the field about the 35 yard line, too bad the Bills lost with 1 sec left, but great game to see. Sounds like you had a great time as well.

    An old thread, but I've heard amazing things about the Chophouse. Is it that good? I love the decor. It's very elegant. Buffalo has some great steakhouses, with the Chophouse to E.B. Green's.

    A Bentley and Phantom? In Buffalo? NY plates?
