Fish fry was delicious! Large portions that did not disappoint. I love that you can substitute colcannon for French fries.

Buffalo is a city of neighborhoods. The Buffalo Irish Center is the heart of the Irish Heritage District of Buffalo. The center promotes their heritage with music, dancing, history, parades,... charities, and fun. Large indoor facility w/ a pub and music area, two large banquet rooms, two smaller rooms for meetings and practices, and a library. The center hosts step dancing classes and the bagpipe band. Also the large adjoined parking lot is used for summer concert series on Thursday evening. The Pub is open to all. Music on Fri +/ Sat. Pub specials everyday, and my favorite $6.00 Imperial pints (20 oz) Guinness, Harp, Smithwick's, or Sullivan's. Tell Justin, the bartender we sent you. The center offers an inexpensive pub style menu, corned beef on rye, Beef on Weck, the famous Buffalo chicken wings and Fenian Fish Fry w/ chips and other fish on Fridays. Full bar service and TVs for sporting events. The friendly staff welcomes and serves members and visitors alike. Clean restrooms and fully handicap accessible. Hours: M-Th 5:30-11pm, Fri 4pm-12am, Sat 12am-12pm, Sun 12pm-6pm. The center anchors the entire neighborhood and may just be the neighborhood you're looking for when visiting Buffalo, NY This is always one place we stop when visiting Buffalo, NY. Slainte!read more

Some of the best food around. Fish fry’s aren’t just for Friday’s during Lent. Do yourself a favor and get there and order one up. Also, great areas to host your private events.

For many years now, I have loved the BIC. It's a great venue for listening to live entertainment in the pub. Great food. Unlike some other places in WNY, the Guinness is always cold & fresh! Love... Penny Whiskey. Patrons of the Shannon Pub still have a fantastic place to go, just a short ride down the 190. C'mon down!read more

I've been there a few times before, but most recently it was for the Gordon Highlander holiday party in a back room. We had open bar for like 5+ hours (because that's how the Gordon Highlanders... celebrate!) and a buffet style dinner. The bartenders were great! They were fast, polite, knew how to serve Guinness properly, and there was always someone behind the bar. The food was excellent as always and the wait staff was great! They kept the tables clean and were very nice. Overall, it was a great party in a great establishment.read more

We love the BIC. It's a lot like having our very own "Cheers" where everybody knows your name. Great food in the pub, awesome bartenders who will serve you a top shelf drink at a more than fair... price, free parking and the live music is always top notch. It's YOUR neighborhood pub, no matter where your neighborhood actually is. ...And if you are looking to learn more about the Irish heritage, look no further, it is also a wonderful cultural resource.read more
