42 North Brewing Company — Restaurant in Buffalo

Another Theater District option with fairly limited menu of flatbreads and burgers. Food was good, but unremarkable. We tried both a burger and a flatbread which, though pricey, filled us up. Service was great. The noise level here has been an issue from the day they opened, and they do not seem to be in any hurry to make modifications, despite numerous customer comments. At times it is impossible to have a conversation at your own table. Parking during showtimes can be difficult to find on the streets, and if you need to park in a lot, be sure to figure in an extra $20-30 for your evening. Access to Sheas and nearby theaters is just a short walk from 42 North. All in all, it’s a nice addition to help fill an incredible food void on Main Street, but the menu is lackluster, considering there is already another pizza restaurant right across the street.

High chairs won't work and needless there are no spots at the bar available and no gentleman. There are 4 low chairs with 2 tables in front near the windows, of course taken. Kudos to the hostess for finding a metal chair for my friend to sit in. Kudos to the bartender for bringing her some water. This place has tremendous unused space but nowhere to sit, enjoy a drink, on a Saturday night. Definitely won't return. I love supporting local...

The downtown location of 42 North Brewing is unique from its East Aurora location, with a classier vibe. Chic, sophisticated also work for describing this location, which pretty cool for a brewery. It blends in nicely with it's close proximity to Shea's Performing Arts Center (same side of the street).

Other drink options available as well. We shared a couple beers and a glass of wine prior to an event downtown. We wish them well at this new location!

UPDATE: We stopped in for dinner for a Sabres game and wasn't disappointed. Same great service and drinks. We tried the brisket meatball...
