Cole's is a longstanding powerhouse of the Buffalo bar scene. It's an absolute gem with great food and an outstanding bar.The wings, burgers and fries are top knotch.Lunch, dinner or day drinking Cole's is a great choice for any occasion!

If you could ask for a better experience, it'd be quite impossible. Staff was very kind & helpful, while the food was utterly outrageous. Bar was full, for good reason. Had to roll me out of there I couldn't stop eating. Would especially reccomend any cider they have, & the hot banana pepper dip. Absolute symphony in your mouth. I'll be back, probably more than once. Cole's is doin it right.

Great old school tavern. Fun pub. Danny the bartender is a skilled and pleasant character.

Great food and service all around. The fish fry was very good although the batter had a bit of spice to it. I also had french onion soup which was also quite good.

Great neighborhood bar. Best wings in Buffalo

Serving staff was great! Beer was really good. Food was okay.

Four of us went here, but this review is only based upon my experience. First I spent time studying the extensive draft beer list. While studying it someone at our table ordered an amber ale, it looked good. I asked the waitress if the brown ale was darker than the amber, she said yes. She brought me a draft beer that was a hazy golden. I questioned if it was the brown ale and she said it was. I took one sip and knew it was not to my liking. I didn’t see the waitress for at least 5 minutes, to order a replacement. I then ordered the pork schnitzel with spaetzel. The schnitzel was over cooked and hard to cut even with a knife. The spaetzel was also over cooked and hard. I ate what I could, because I was hungry, but it wasn’t good. In fairness my wife had a Caesar salad with chicken and said it was good.

Great choice for wings on our trip through the wing Trail

The Beef on Wreck here was just amazing. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. But I couldn't recommend much else about Cole's. After being seated, I ordered a beer. 10 minutes later the server returned to report they didn't have it, I ordered another and it took another 10 minutes. This was a theme. An excruciating wait for a sandwich. Another excruciating wait for a check. This was early evening and there were few people in the restaurant. Just not acceptable.

Decent wings and beer selection. An old school Irish pub in the heart of Elmwood with a true Buffalo character.
