Founding Fathers is filled with US History memorabilia, and its owner/bartender is super personable and knowledgeable on all things historical. I would classify it as a dive bar, good ambiance and not too loud, easy to talk to others while there.
The food is like sophisticated bar food. Inventive sandwiches and sides. I believe they still do trivia night, very cool. Mike the bartender keeps everyone entertained with trivia on pop culture, history, and his witty conversation.
Highly recommended!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Michael B.Collins, NY01Feb 17, 2024
The bartenders and cooks have gotten really surly and inattentive lately. After beng a regular customer for 35 years, that is really sad. That said the food is still really good if you can handle the now dreadful atmosphere.
I was there a few nights ago, late at night and being really tired, I started to nod off a few times while drinking my beer. That didn't sit well with the bartender who took my remaining beer and poured it out, When I complained about that and refused to pay for my undrunk beer, I was thrown out of the bar and forbidden from ever coming back again.
Their loss as I have spent thousands of dollars ithere n the many times I have been there,Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Jan 24, 2024
Really good bar service and the French Onion Soup was solid. I really enjoyed the Fried Bologna Sandwich as well. Bartender was basically an encyclopedia for Presidential history and great conversation starter. Would definitely drop in here for a beer and food!

I came here a few times in my college days.
The place is small, grimy and salty. There is ton of American history to be found here.
This was overall my favorite bar in Buffalo. I wish I was able to come more in those days.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - J A.Orange County, CA109249518Dec 24, 2023

Founding Fathers is great. Low key, awesome environment boosted by an eclectic collection of presidential memorabilia. Trivia nights are unbeatable and during a quieter time the owner will even fire some US history trivia from behind the bar.

This is all about the atmosphere, the camaraderie and the service. One of the friendliest places to go, the wait staff and owner strike up conversations with everyone, the food is good and you will hardly notice that the menu is limited. I love this place. Brooke made certain our glasses remained full and we had what we needed to enjoy their pastrami sandwiches which are actually quite good.
