Venues & Event Spaces in Buffalo, NY

“I went for my first time to anything like it. They showed the movie the Princess bride and the BPO played live along with the movie.
The experience was so enjoyable the musical performance exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend going to see a show, I will definitely be going again.”

“Everyone needs to go and visit this place and see where we have come from. The military is the most respectful service in our country and deserves everyone's time and respect. Visit this to really understand and learn what our country is made of. These men and women are our foundation.”

“WOW is all I can say. From start to finish, we knew we were in good hands. From the moment we stepped into the Avanti I knew I wanted to get married there! We felt confident that the team would help us create the most beautiful day…and they did just that. If you are lucky enough to have Raquel as your wedding coordinator, you will be in the best hands! We are eternally grateful to her for making both our planning process and day of SO perfect at the Avanti. Our day would not have been possible without her.

We went into the wedding day with so much ease because we KNEW everything was taken care of. That is a huge testament to the entire team including the servers, bartenders, culinary team, and truly just every single individual who helped out for our day. Our guests have been RAVING about the venue itself and how gorgeous the property is. But big conversation has been the FOOD - many have said 'best wedding food ever', 'we cannot believe how large the portions were', 'can you get a recipe for those potato skins' and the list goes on and on! That is exactly what we wanted...good food, good drinks, and a beautiful day and venue. We are so lucky that we had that. We would pick the Avanti over and over again! Thank YOU all for the best day ever!

“Absolutely love seeing concerts at Babeville. The acoustics are absolutely amazing. I also love that the band performs on a raised stage platform - it makes for great sight lines in the entire venue. They are also very accommodating in advance for wheelchair users and/or disabled patrons and they share clear information in their confirmation emails describing access.”

“This is a lovely place to go with family and friends. There are food trucks, buy drinks, live music, seating, or bring your chairs. It's quite an enjoyable time.”

“This place is amazing. Great food and service. Dueling Pianos was a little disappointing and not exactly a duel, just good music. They should modify it into what is a conventional dueling piano experience.”

“Spent a great evening at dinner at Russell's, then overnight at the hotel. Rooms are immaculate and have all the amenities you need. Hotel is clean and rooms include a wonderful hot breakfast along with cereal, fruit, yogurt, etc. Nice getaway for myself and boyfriend.”

“It was a pleasure to visit the Buffalo Home show at the Buffalo Convention center. The ease of navigating through the center was great. The Convention center exterior looks great as well.”

“This Edwardian building has some fabulous architecture, and now houses the Ukrainian Cultural Center. We stopped in for some food (the proceeds going to the Ukrainian support the Ukrainian people during the war), and got to see the bar area with it's vaulted ceilings. The bar is staffed entirely by volunteers, and has a neat selection of Ukrainian beers. The food was also made by volunteers, and we needed a translator to order! Everything was great, and the people were all welcoming.While the area isn't the greatest, they do have a parking lot on the east side of the building which can get packed, but offers fenced off-street parking.”

“We had a memorable time at this venue. Plenty of space with two rooms for Very nice appetizers and drinks while we waited for the bride and groom. Appetizers were fresh plentiful & interesting variety. Wait staff walked around with different appetizers. Tables full of cheese crackers fresh fruits perfectly arranged and very tasty.
The main course was outstanding the salad was a picture perfect. Tasty cold romaine lettuce drizzle with a wonderful dressing, Parmesan crisp and shaving of Parmesan outstanding. Main course was lemon chicken filet mignon wonderful interesting potatoes. It was like a scalloped potato pie with a interesting puff pastry crust, it was yummy. Fresh vegetables crispy yet tender. The room was magical. I highly recommend this place.

We did not use the hotel.”

“Had to stand outside a very long time to enter the building to play bingo. But when we finally got in, we had a very fun time with the family. There’s a small snack bar. I think the pizza was from Mr Pizza, popcorn was very good just like the movies and they also had alcohol for over 21yrs and pop and water for everyone else.Parking was a little hard.”

“I was at Aloft Buffalo Downtown for Roswell's Cancerchella. The hotel was very accommodating, fun, and very comfortable. Their bowling alley was a lot of fun and the XYZBar had great drinks and was very comfortable to socialize in. It gets very busy Friday and Saturday nights with the rooftop bar judging by the line of people waiting for the elevator up. The staff did well to work around some of the rude and pushy customers. I highly recommend staying at this hotel for a nice visit in downtown Buffalo!Rooms: The rooms are fun, trendy, and in my opinion a little nicer than your average affordable hotel. My room was on the 12th floor and had a beautiful view of Buffalo and Lake Erie. The bathrooms and showers were nice and spacious. There wasn't really much for a dresser but instead a place to put your luggage with a couple of small drawers underneath. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were quiet at night. There was also a small table and some seating in the room.Safety: I felt pretty safe at this hotel. You need card key access to get to the hotel floors via elevator. However when I left my room this morning someone had attempted to tamper with the card reader to my door, and the cover was off of it and laying on the ground. My door was deadbolt though so I didn't have to worry about someone breaking in. A few other doors had this happen to on our floor, so i just notified front staff when I checked out. There was ample security in the lobby and the bars, and I felt completely safe during my stay!Walkability: This hotel is very walkable where it's located in downtown buffalo. There are plenty of things to do within walking distance, including the theatre district.Food & drinks: The food catered for our Cancerchella event was fantastic! The drinks at any of the bars were delicious and typical pricing.”

“It's a good time plus it's an independent music venue and who doesn't love that?
Be right before you get there because drinks are high AF.”

“We were there for a stand-up funeral. I mean wedding. Everything was excellent. The courtyard was the perfect place. The food was awesome. The staff was professional and efficient. I don't know what it cost but it was worth it.”

“The hotel and staff here is amazing!!! And the breakfast was yummy!!! If you are traveling by airport in and out of Buffalo NY, this is a great place. Tierra, Raeneyta, Andre are absolutely fabulous!”
