Outstanding place, good food, great service, and the owner was on hand and introduced himself and asked how everything was. Very friendly staff. The drinks were refreshing and tasty. Highly Recommend

Place was busy for a Thursday night!! We ordered some Ulrich wings, which weren’t my thing (to each their own when it comes to flavour), but the celery was limp and almost colourless – it really wasn’t even servable, let alone edible. Waitress was pleasant. Would definitely not buy food here again. Crowd atmosphere was fun and lively though. Nice selection of beers.

Had traveled back home in 2017 & of course this had to be one of my first places to have a beef on weck & had neat conversation with the owner. Unfortunately, NYS had no Medicaid available for elderly, frail as Nevada has, & I had to return quickly to Reno, NV for my Medicaid as I remain terminal with COPD – asthma, chronic bronchitis. NV provides a Medicaid Waiver outside the income restrictions for “Elderly/Frail.” NYS Albany needs to wake up to this! But I hope this great liitle memorable place continues on & on & on!!! Wish I were “home.” frannie A.

The atmosphere was great. I felt like it was a century ago. We had fishfrys. They were large with ample sides but the fish was a little greasy & the fries oversalted. However it was my 1st visit there & I would like to go again sometime to try there German food…but I didn’t see any liver dumpling soup…maybe it’ll be a soup of the day

Best French onion soup, bartender was friendly and “Buffalo-real,” and my dogs liked chilling on the nice little sidewalk seating area. Love that I can walk here from my house just east of Michigan Ave!

Friendly bartenders and solid happy hour offerings makes this historic tavern a great spot to grab a drink after work. Haven’t tried the food yet personally, but have heard good things about the burger.

Ulrich’s has a really cool, genuinely vintage atmosphere. Small, but nice craft beer selection, and the bartender and waitress were warm, welcoming, and attentive. The bar itself is a gem, a reminder of the old, blue collar Buffalo. A quaint little corner antique, situated in the midst of the resurgence. Hopefully it’ll stay intact, as a beautifully aged reminder of Buffalo’s history.

Hole-in-the-wall club type of place. Very laid-back, easy-going, and quiet (well, as quiet as a bar with live music can get). They have chairs and tables near the live music and bar, but if you’re looking to have a quieter conversation they also have several tables farther away. Most importantly the employees and customers were extremely friendly, and everyone seems very happy with the little nest they’ve made for themselves. Highly recommended, and will definitely be dropping by during my next visit to Buffalo. Say hi to Sal for me.
