42N at the Flats has a cool vibe, bustling with diners and those just socializing at the bar. Our server was very attentive and the food delicious. My husband and I each had a burger. He ordered his with the homemade chips and they arrived still slightly warm. I tried the French fries and they were also great. He had a seasonal beer and I had an N/A Athletic. He liked his selection and I was happy that there were non-alcoholic choices for me. This is a great location to eat before a show or when headed to a hockey game.

We picked this place because it was reasonably priced and was near our hotel. The room was fairly long, with a high ceiling, nicely lit and decorated with some historical looking pictures. The high ceiling made it a little echo-y since there wasn't really anything to absorb the sound. It wasn't crowded, but that wasn't too surprising for a rainy Tuesday evening in the theater district. The food was excellent and the service was great. I has a very good red blend wine that was delicious. I would still go back there if I get to Buffalo again.

Everything was wonderful from the check in, to drinks at the bar to table service! They even had a phone charger for my husband to use while we sipped on Winter Ale! We’ll definitely be back!

Great food with reasonable prices. Huge selection of beers plus some local ciders and mixed drinks. Love that they use the local wineries as well! Only downside is that it can be quite loud when crowded. Unfortunately, that’s what happens with high ceilings. Great fell menu and waitress told us they will switch it up seasonally. Highly recommend the harvest salad and add chicken! Also the hummus platter is delicious too.

Popped in on a Saturday night. It was lively but it did not impact service. Beers and food were good.

Went for lunch before Hamilton @ Shea’s. Everything was great. 42 North Beers always good. Totally different vibe than East Aurora, more polished but still friendly
