Central Park Grill

Good bar grub. Service is always attentive. Went on a day when the patio was closed but the weather was nice, but they served us outside anyway. Always good blues bands circulating through. Wings to make a Buffalonian proud.
Bring back the steak sandwich!

This place made it feel like home. Homemade salsa and chips at the bar all day and a GREAT spread at halftime of the Bills game. Awesome place to be with great bartenders and some of Buffalo’s best wings. That’s right, better wings than the «hyped» up places everyone hears about. Can’t wait to come back, GO BILLS!!!

This place IS BUFFALO! Outstanding bar, food, and atmosphere. The wings are absolutely on point. Top 3 I’ve had next to Bar Bill and Kelly’s Korner. Seriously folks, order the Hot Cajun BBQ. It will change your life. Sweet beer specials. Usually have $ 12 buckets. Live Music. Local folks. HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG?

The food isn’t that great compared to what it used to be but the bar staff are really nice

Came here few times in the past year. My most recent time was Sunday for the bills game. Started with 3 orders of wings which were very good, considering I never had their food before only drinks. I wanted a captain and coke but they were out of captain, which was a disappointment however I had a back up beverage so no worries there. Prices are about average and the bartenders are friendly. The crowd was great everyone friendly and happy to able to watch the game. Laughs and jokes all game. Turns out when it’s game day any time the home team scores it’s free shot time! Which is always awesome !!! And lastly the free half time Buffett ! They order sheet pizzas for the staff and the patrons, not sure where it came from but it was good pizza. Totally coming back again for a game!

I love this place for three reasons:
The female bartenders make you feel welcome even if you only order club soda with lime.
Thursday night blues with Anita West is absolutely fabulous.
Outdoor space provides a low key, comfy place to relax.

Liz is an amazing bartender. I stopped in for Anita West’s Blues show — the band was really good. I ordered some Wings (hot) and Fresh Cut Fries. Both were very good. They have 10 drafts lines about half were craft.
I will be going back for more live music. It is a fun atmosphere.

Best wings in Buffalo. Get them chargrilled.

This is where Bön Jovi broke onto the Buffalo NY music scene and became a world force in folk music. Prior to their sold out week at CPG, they were cleaning the underbodies of cars at the local Bronx Zoo Car Shop. But the CPG changed all that. Lead singer Mick Bön Jovi remembers this place fondly.
I used to play open mic here, and it was decent. I don’t remember the food. The atmosphere was pretty good. The open mic was okay, but the wait time was way too long and the transitions nearly non-​existent. And always in the back of our heads was the notion that if you changed just one letter in the venue title, we’d be in an episode of Friends.
This place will forever be linked with Lenny Revell’s «Spiderman.» Who am I? Who am I? You will never understand. Seriously.

Fantastic place for live, intimate music– especially the blues. In warm weather months the outdoor patio is a perfect for catching a smoke and some fresh air.
The men’s room has less square footage than a pool table so if you’re bothered by rubbin elbows, you may want to consider holding it.
The bar is under new ownership, and only time will tell how true to the ways of Phil it will remain. Who knows… maybe its due for a change.

After having gone to this place many times in my first years in Buffalo, I returned here with some friends for a delightful evening. Though off the beaten path, CPG is a great place that’s clean, calm, and has a generally good bar atmosphere. Beers are decently priced, have a great selection, and service has always been great.
One thing, and this is nostalgia talking, is that this place used to have a thing called Hodgepodge. I mention this because someone, like me, may wish to go to this place for a delicious basket of deep fried veggies (Hodgepodge) but they do not serve it anymore. My friends and I were looking forward to it, alas, we were out of luck. Owner (s) — i know they are new as of last year — bring back Hodgepodge.
Aside from this nostalgic let-​down, the food is actually quite good. Not many vegetarian friendly options and certainly not for vegans, but the fries are great and my friends enjoyed their burgers and wings. Decently priced for sure.
And the patio — if anything, go for the amazing patio space they have! Outdoors and with great circulation. And they have rain tarps — so the rain will not be a problem at all. So wonderful to sit outside and drink!

This bar used to be fantastic; (now under new ownership) it is now overpriced, has horrible service, and has lost all of its appeal.
You used to find fair Buffalo pricing (drinks $ 3 – 5) (food $ 5 – 11)
Now (drinks $ 5 – 7) (food $ 9 – 15)
The bar is managed by a nasty, pompous woman name Lindsay. She gets drunk, and obnoxiously loud at the bar. The previous owner (Phil C) was professional, and in 15 years I had never witnessed him drunk at his bar. The new owners aren’t personable, and they’ve hired a nasty drunk for a manager.
Hopefully something will change, before this bar fails for good.
Between its new adaptation of rap music, overpriced drinks and food, crap service, rude drunken staff (mainly the manager Lindsay), health code violations, and complete disregard for public opinion… They won’t last very long in this city.
Fearing the death of a long loved Buffalo bar

I ordered wings which were ok but next time I’d probably go somewhere else for food. I liked the bar atmosphere.

Because I thought this was in a bad neighborhood, I never went here … I have been missing out!
It is nicer inside than I expected. It is still a dive but it’s not gross (bathroom was clean, tables clean, bar clean, glasses clean) — covering on seats was cracked and some things were outdated but that was about it.
The grill is right next to the bar so you can see your food being prepared. I had the chicken quesadillas and they were AWESOME. Nice grill marks on the outside, lots of melted cheese, chopped up jalepenos, and a large serving of both sour cream and salsa. Prices for food were great.
Bartender was incredibly friendly. Even though we walked in unannounced with about 12 – 15 people, she was quick and efficient. Not the best tap beer selection but not the worst either. Bartender served us her own shot creation which was unbelievable (it had jack in it and even though I don’t like jack, I would definitely order her shot again. yum).
Our floor hockey team will be returning here, that is for sure! We’ve been going to different bars trying to find a «home» and we may have found one here!

Definitely a dive — but I like dives when I am in that mood. My husband loves that they make fried bologna sandwiches. They are just switching owners at the moment so I am interested in seeing if there are any changes made. They claim they have good wings and great football parties — so perhaps we will have to check it out during a Bills game.

Such a hole in the wall… and I mean that as a compliment :)
My dad’s band sometimes does Jazz sets here on Mondays, and aparently this is a great venu to watch Bills games, especially before it gets cold, because of the patio.
I had a few beers, of which there was a decent selection (Bud 55 Select, Sam Octoberfest, Hoegaarden), and the food was AWESOME! My Roast Beef on Weck was exactly the perfect ending to my night and trip in Buffalo — fresh Kimmelweck roll, tender roast beef, and tangy horseradish!
Why didn’t I ever come here when I was going to bars in High School? ;)
