    716 Sports Bar

    I hope to make a stop at this place. What's good there? What's your recommendation?

    The big screen is pretty amazing. The food and beer is typical of chain restaurants and overpriced.

        He has a bad track record with running a bar/restaurant. Many local vendors never got paid when his place in Buffalo closed.

                Seconded. We didn't eat there but we got a couple drinks before the Sabres game. The liquor selection was generic and it was D.C. prices in Buffalo. But the atmosphere and the big screen are great. It's worth an overpriced drink, especially if there's a decent game on to watch.

                            From the Buffalo News -

                            It looks like the game is over at the Sport City Grill.
                            After a 2 and 1/2-year run in downtown Buffalo, Bills quarterback Jim Kelly and a group of investors have run out of plays to turn around a restaurant business plagued by uneven management and a difficult business climate.

                            Kelly and his brother, Dan, met with Mayor Masiello Tuesday to discuss the situation. Masiello said the Kellys and a third partner, Dan Trevino, have explored a number of options, including sale of the business, but no deals have been struck.
                            "They told me they have some very difficult decisions to make in the near future. They advised me things aren't going very well and there wasn't much hope for a turnaround," Masiello said.

                            AKA - Bankruptcy! Jim walked away clean but the suppliers (food, liquor, entertainment) were stung badly!!!

                              The bar is good. I sat at it and just ran my hands over the surface. It was primal and exciting. Eventually they made me leave when they realized I wouldn't order anything and just wanted to run my hands over the bar surface.

                              My recommendation is to order something if you want to stay there longer. They get weird also if you rub your face affectionately on the strangers sitting next to you.

                              They need to loosen up, imho.
