I'm looking for a lot with easy exit after the game. Looking to get on the 190 towards grand island/n.falls. We've parked near the arena before and it took forever to exit
thanks
Heading down again for the Sat game against your boys!
Staying at Adam's Mark this time - any recommendations for good eats around there? Was thinking 716 but do you have to reserve or just show up real early (4pm)? Went to Black Squirrel last time - any other good distilleries to recommend??
Cheers

I'd suggest you absolutely check out Lockhouse Distillery. It's within walking distance from the arena. There's a new restaurant in the casino right next door as well: The Western Door Bar & Grille. It's a high-end steakhouse.
If you're at the distillery, there are a couple of good bars to check out on the way to the arena. I'd recommend Buffalo Iron Works. They'll likely have 4-5 local beers on tap plus the other usuals.
And, yeah...I'd make reservation for 716 if you intend on eating dinner there. It's a madhouse a couple of hours before a hockey game.
Chefs, Pearl street brewery, 716, or Pizza Plant.
Check out the menus online. Plenty to choose from.
As far as 716 .., it's booked up solid by now i'm sure. You could show up at 4 ... and either wait for a table or eat at one of the 3 bars. Might be faster to eat at the bar.
Yeah I checked 716 and all they have are 2:45pm reservations Sat - all later tables are booked.
Where's the best place to go for wings after the game? Find Anchor too touristy, but heard good things about the Gate and Nine-Eleven.
Not sure about their hours though.

Hey guys. I'm an Eastern Canadian Avalanche fan (yeah we exist) and I'm going to be in Buffalo next month. I don't need information on the city itself as I don't intend on staying long but I'm curious if someone can help me out with transportation info.
I'm staying in Niagra Falls (Canada side) but plan on making the trip to see the Bills/Broncos on Sunday, Sept 24. It's a 1PM start. I'm curious if anyone knows if there's any busses/trains/shuttles that go to and from
Niagra Falls/Buffalo. If so is there a possibility of heading to Buffalo in the morning and returning to NF that evening or do I have to spend the night? I'd prefer not to rent a car so that I can drink and am just wondering what my options are?
I have multiple stops on this vacation so I want to have everything planned in advance.
Starting this off making it clear I am a Sabres fan through and through can't stand the leafs, I am coming to this Saturday's preseason Sabres game with my brother in law (leaf fan but good guy) we cannot find anywhere to stay at a decent rate (looking for somewhere we can walk/stumble, Uber or metro rail back post game. Anyone have any under the radar recommendations for me? Everything appears to be sold out. Guys in mid/late 20s just wanna pregame and enjoy a few beers without breaking the bank. If anyone has any ideas pm me or reply would be greatly appreciated.

I always stay at the Adams Mark, walking distance to the rink and cheaper then all the other options in the vicinity. It's a little dated and has seen better days but it works just fine for your intentions. Pearl St and 716 is along your stumble to/from the arena with a lounge on site at the hotel as well.
Your cutting it pretty close for a Sabres/Leafs Saturday game and a Bills Sunday home game on the same weekend.

Are Uber and Lyft drivers allowed to go across the border to get you and get you to the football game?
Look into that perhaps.
Or walk across the rainbow bridge, get to the US, then call for an Uber/Lyft driver.
Yeah, if you are close enough, foot traffic is allowed over the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls.
Thanks guys. We don't have Uber where I live but I think i'll learn to get familiar with it as your suggestion does seem to make the most sense.
