26 — Restaurant in Buffalo

Visited the 26 today. Went to the bathroom and unfortunately did not see the sign saying one person at the time. someone banged on the door multiple times and I asked the issue and was told to leave the bathroom as well as my friends with me. I agreed to leave as well as my friends and was told to leave the bar because my friend did not pull her pants up fast enough, I was very confused and asked what I could do to make the situation resolved. Was told I could do nothing except leave. Never had a bad experience here until then. After being forced out fast, my friend left her purse there. We called to see if they had it and they did not care and told us to come later tonight or tomorrow to see if it turned up instead of looking. Will never be returning and feel very violated being forced out of a bathroom that we were using for its use while my friend was literally half naked. I would give a -0 star...

Liked the service, better than the other gay bars here. The place is a bit loud. But I only go on weekends if in town. May be quieter other times.

I do have one gripe tho. I'm a big dude. So I come out on weekends to watch and drink and have fun usually alone. But yesterday I was out here and there was a girl patron screaming at another person across the street while he was walking away and she was in the middle of the street doing this! Then was mocking his weight to another person by a car in front. I'm not a fan of that and it was uncomfortable. I come here for the vibe that we're all loved, I'm harmless and a big guy, I know my place. But that hurt me and it wasn't even about me. Please control you patrons more.

I'm sorry for the essay, I usually don't even write a review past a few words or just a rating. But this is one of the only fun places here since Marcella's is closed...

My friends and I are regulars at 26, we love the community, the bartenders, the energy. The loyalty is REAL.

I had friends come from out of town, showing them naturally our favorite late night spot. It was their first time there & I felt horrible they had an uncomfortable experience. While waiting for the bathroom (not realizing there was a new sign), the bouncer with short pink hair yelled at them to GET OUT. She continued to watch them and made more aggressive moves throughout the night, making them feel so unwelcome they left early.. I couldn’t even believe it! I’ve heard similar stories about this bouncer before, and it really doesn’t reflect the spirit 26 is known for. I write this with Love for 26. I understand the new sign is a technical legality, but how it’s being addressed/ handled isn’t good for...
