“Upscale? YGTBKM!”

This place is decent, but if this is considered upscale for a gay bar, then I must be royalty. Dark wood paneling, a few chairs, tables, and a long wooden bar do not strike me as upscale. You have to struggle to get a bartender's attention and the drinks are just average. So when I hear this is Buffalo's upscale gay bar, you have got to be kidding me.

“as classy as a gay bar gets in buffalo”

The martini menu is great and the interior is really nice, but it's a total barracuda bar... that's not for me, so I stay away. But if you're into cruising, definitely check this place out.
