Electric Avenue Cafe — Restaurant in Buffalo

Came in on Monday night with my wife. Ordered a double captain & diet. Watched the bartender pour a single and charge us for a double in an empty bar. What he did was ring it up as a single to make an extra $4 in cash (how I paid) to pocket the difference.

I called him out on it and he started pacing back and forth behind the bar like a caged animal. The owner needs to fire this employee. He is skimming off the bar and making the customers pay.

I gave him a $10 for an $8 drink assuming he gets a $2 tip. He comes back 2 mins later apologizing for not giving me change. I dont care about $2. What I care is that I watched you pour and then lie to me about what you poured, and then took the extra step to try and play it off like you werent already assuming you were keeping the $2 difference on what I tendered on a slow night.

Will never come back to this bar again. Plenty of other options...

A great dive bar that occasionally hosts live music. Cheap drinks. Crass characters. Bars like this are a dying breed in this town. If you want to spare yourself the edison bulbs and backless metal stools that everyone else seems to be doing, this bar is for you.

I will say that the 'cafe' in the name is misleading, because I've never seen anything come out of...

If yiu're a fan of a classic dive bar, this is your spot. Simply put.

For me personally, it hit a soft spot in my heart as I both performed there musically over the years and served my food there.

Plus you have Mohawk Place...
