Rafferty’s Irish Pub

While the prices were good, and the service was great. The wings were terrible. The ambiance is top notch, and the servers are really friendly. I will come back for Taco Tuesday.

On January 21 we had a Football coaches meeting for our upcoming 2016 season. The staff allowed us use the front room for this meeting. They make some of the best wings and pub food to satisfy the hungriest football coaches.

The Good: local feel.
The Bad: don’t accept credit cards; ATM machine with a fee for cash; pour for drinks is very lame (see picture) it’s like less than a shot in a tiny glass!!!

Stopped here to hang out with some friends for a Beer Blast and while I didn’t take advantage of the pool table or dart board, I had a great time chatting with friends. Cheap beer, 3 for $ 5 Coors Light, plus two shots, costs me $ 10. I did try the wings and I don’t know if it was the beer or that I was starving (maybe it was neither) but they were great! Loved the medium sauce, they piled it on perfectly, best wing sauce I’ve had in awhile. The wings were crispy, I didn’t mind that at all, enjoyed them very much! I haven’t been to a bar like this in quite sometime but most bars in Buffalo know how to make some great wings and that’s why the locals frown when people tell them Duff’s and Anchor Bar have the best wings. It’s just not true!
I probably wouldn’t visit again though unless invited to meet some friends out. The local dive bar scene isn’t my thing unless I’m going somewhere everyone knows my name and this isn’t it. I was gonna rate this place a 3 based on the cheap beer and great wings alone but I recall a guy that was in the kitchen, coming out and going out of his way to serve us a couple beers because he saw the bartender was busy on the other end of the bar and I like when people take notice and go out their way to be helpful. Thank you!

Make no mistakes, this is a neighborhood joint. More commonly known as a dive bar. A bit «on the path» yet packed with locals and free of trend. Full bar, domestic bottles and taps, and a working kitchen. The wings are .75 each for dine in only. They have 2 dart boards with the double sided pro board with an Internet feature. Free popcorn sits just next to a big choice machine. It’s odd to see one in a bar, but very cool. They also have a golf video game and a TouchTunes jukebox. 5 TVs and a power ball TV. The bar has high chair back seats and a few round tables. The overflow area has 4 tables with enough seating for about 20 people. Bathrooms are small but functional. They have a private lot that they share with an apartment building, still plenty of spots. They don’t accept credit cards but have an ATM. Open windows and back door make for a nice cross breeze. Chill for a Sat, a late 20s type crowd.
If they had a better beer selection and took cards I would rate them 4 stars. It is what it is, a place to check out, have a drink, grab some wings, and toss some darts.

Easily some of the best wings in buffalo and I’ve had most good wings in buffalo. And I would have to say the best prices! We had a bucket of beer, wings, a sandwich, and one other food item and it only cost around $ 20. It’s typical local bar ambiance but with these prices and the great food no complaints!

One of my favorite local places to go. Seriously the best wings in Buffalo — get them hot an they are just right. They come out steaming. Wings are always $ 0.45 if you eat in so you can get a ton and not break the bank. Draft beers are all $ 3.50, and they usually have a few of the more macro or local craft beers in addition to the usual Blue/​etc… Buckets of bottles are $ 5 as another reviewer said. It’s a nice place to go when you want to have some good food and drinks but not go broke.

Best wings in buffalo! They’re crispy yet saucy hot but not too hot. You can get a bucket of beer for $ 5 and a dozen wings for ten. It’s a cheap fun date. Lots of questionable locals but hey it’s like going to another country. Jukebox and darts and they have a private party room. Go for the wings and a bucket of beer and call it a night.
