Looking for a no prejudices bar where you can come as you are? Then the Gin Mill will be your happy place! I wouldn't go as far as calling it a dive bar, but if you're looking for frills and whistles, you may be disappointed. Cheap beer, fun bar games, and a beautiful rooftop terrace overlooking Southend. You won't find food here but there is free popcorn at your disposal. For most, I wouldn't call the Gin Mill a destination bar; more-so a great meeting point for you and your buddies, a place to pre-game before a concert or event, or place to stop by and have a few beers along your journey.
One thing to be very mindful of is parking... It's almost non-existent. If there is a concert at Amos' or a big event at the neighboring Tavern on the Tracks, famous for housing Buffalo fans of all sports, you'll struggle to find parking. Don't just pull in anywhere that you can; towing for neighboring has been prevalent.
