Used to hit the Old Pink before it was the “Old” and never had qualms about eating there. Entering the bathroom was another matter.

I had college friends visit in the summer and they couldn’t believe a bar that had purple mowhawk guys with safety pins through their cheek be drinking in a bar with the preppy overflow from the Brick Bar. They could not imagine this eclectic mix mingling in their home towns.

Great site, great bar, great city.

It’s 484 Elmwood Ave. Just South of The Elmwood Lounge and right next door to Faherty’s. Phone: 716-884-1100, Web: http://europabuffalo.com/. They don’t accept reservations and they don’t accept credit cards – cash only. But it’s worth it!!! Tell them Nelson sent you!!!

Glad you like the show. Stay tuned for more upcoming episodes. Thanks for the support and commentary – please spread the word!!!! ~N

Then all the more for those who “get it”. Their food is famous …for being fantastic. The few things they make, they make better than almost anyone in Buffalo. Their steak sandwich is an entire NY strip steak (yes, an entire un-chopped steak filet)…on a fine sub type roll with cheese and grilled onions and peppers – very highly respected among those in the know. People go there strictly for the food. I understand your initial reticence (it’s a very rough “rock” type bar) but you gotta give it a try man. ~ Nelson
