The food and drinks are top notch. Stellar entertainment. Dueling pianos is such a fun time. Interactive, great energy, and talented.

My favorite venue in Buffalo! I can’t speak on the food or bar because I don’t tend to eat when I go to shows, but they’re perfect for a small show with an up close and personal view. They have seating too! Parking wise, I usually park in the lot right down the road, but I think there’s usually parking on the street too. It’s not a far walk at all from parking lots. Love coming here!

Very cool and spacious venue for concerts. They have a neat outdoor area upstairs where you can get some fresh air and smokers can smoke. Their prices for drinks are a bit steep ($17 for two high noons), but I guess that is normal for Chippewa. All the bartenders and staff were super friendly and quick with serving.

Reserved a private room for a surprise party followed by dueling pianos downstairs. The Rec Room and their staff exceeded all my expectations. The food was excellent, the wait staff and bartenders were fantastic, and Rochelle - our event planner was exceptional ensuring not only that every detail was planned before the event, but executed it and also ensured that I was happy throughout the duration of the event. Chris the owner was also great to work with. My guests all loved the space, the vibe, the food, and the entertainment. I would highly recommend this place without reservation, and we will definitely be back! Thank you for making this a special evening for us!

I've been here in the past for concerts, but I just went here for my bachelor party - we combined with my wife's bachelorette party for live band karaoke at the end of the night, and Rec Room was so accommodating and the event was so much fun! The staff reserved us two booths for the night, which was extremely nice, and everyone had a blast.

So I went here for the Bills Pats game. Not only did we win but the atmosphere here was great! Service was a 10. Wings were a 10. Drinks were great and the bar staff interaction with the patrons was amazing. Everybody had so much fun and this was a big day for Bills Fans!
