One of the best bars in Buffalo! So cool inside with their American president themed memorabilia. Also, free nachos! Kind of a must stop if visiting Buffalo. Brought my parents here when they visited and they loved it.

Had a pitcher of Guinness. Overall a pretty chill place. No loud blasting music, so it was easy to hold a conversation. Cool and interesting decor to look at when not conversing.

This place is wondrous. Staff are super friendly and the decor is great. Probably a great place to play out of the apartment “True American”. Wander in there sometime. If you don’t like it maybe Daedonggang Bar in Pyongyang is more your speed. Also Lincoln is wearing a mask as he can’t move to ensure he can abide by social distancing. I was in there 15 minutes and felt right at home. From a Covid standpoint they are playing by the rules and I felt comfortable.

I came here on a recommendation from one of my coworkers, who grew up in Buffalo. As an American history teacher, this place was somewhat of a Mecca. A classic, local dive with cheap drinks, excellent food, and unique decor. As soon as you walk in you’re greeted by a bunch of portraits and paintings of American presidents, posters, antiques, and other historic artifacts. The food was excellent! I enjoyed the BBQ bacon cheddar burger. My wife had the Louisiana chicken salad, which she loved. We also split an order of the potstickers, which were fabulous and had a notably spicy and delicious sauce. If you’re ever in the area, head here and check it out. You won’t be disappointed!

This place is awesome. I randomly came in while my girlfriend was getting a tattoo, ended up being the only customer for a while, and just hungout with the staff and watched football. Bartender was super nice. I will be coming back anytime I’m in Buffalo again.

Saw this place on "50 things you didn't know about Buffalo," so if course I had to check it out and have a drink. Found myself trying to remember my American history immediately, taking in all the really cool pics & flags. Bar trivia, fun atmosphere, good time.

The atmosphere, food and service were great. As a historian, I loved all the presidential memorabilia. Our server was also the cook and I had an amazing burger, while my husband had a philly cheese steak. I have never in my life had cheese steak I enjoyed, but WOW, was I missing out! So good!

If your friends or family recommend you to visit Duffs or Anchor Bar in Buffalo please make sure you visit Michael at Founding Fathers. It deserves to be in the top spots to visit in Buffalo. This is one of the best pub experiences in the entire US I have been. Michael is so knowledgeable in trivia and just a great character. The pub is filled with memorabilia of US presidents thru out the bar. This would be a place Anthony Bourdain would be proud to visit...Yeah I went their..

Shelby was friendly & fast! Had a nice time here. Burgers were good—only reason for the four stars for food was that the Blackened Blue burger lacked Cajun seasoning and was absent of blue cheese—so neither blackened nor blue, but we didn’t mention it, as the burger was good anyways. Looking forward to coming here again!
