Entertainment

“I had no idea.” We often hear that from visitors who spend a weekend listening to the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra in the acoustically perfect Kleinhans Music Hall, seeing a touring Broadway production in the opulent Shea’s Performing Arts Center or enjoying nightlife in bars, clubs, classic taverns and live music venues downtown and throughout Buffalo.

Indeed, Buffalo has many of the entertainment and nightlife options of a larger city at a fraction of the price. From performing arts and playhouses to comedy clubs and casinos, we’ve rounded up all sorts of ways to have fun in the Queen City below.

Try a visit to Mickiewicz Hall if you long for a truly European experience. Don’t be surprised if you don’t hear a word of English. Outside of a healthy schedule of social activities, the lounge is open on Friday and Saturday nights starting at 7:00 pm. If you are lucky you might be asked to play a game of chess or watch Polish satellite television news.

Mickey’s is a “private” club. For a nominal membership fee you are welcomed into the club’s impressive bar featuring the largest selection of Polish beers outside of Chicago. The selection includes bottles of Zywiec, Okocim, Warka, EB, Dojlidy, Lezajsk, Lomza, Piast, and Hevelius as well as a fine selection of Czech, German and American micro brews (Harpoon, Southern Tier Ale, Saranac, etc). Over 60 FRESH choices await your sampling. The bar also features a fine selection of Polish vodka, liqueurs and Krupnik. Krupnik is a Polish honey liqueur with origins dating back hundreds of years.

Many people look at the Buffalo Irish Center through the eyes of one of its many organizations that meet there. That is simply seeing Ireland as a green island instead of the ’40 shades of green’ that weave together the intricate tapestry of different elements that bind and define our culture and heritage.

The Buffalo Irish Center is much more than a meeting place in a pub, a bingo hall, or an establishment for little girls to learn dancing. The Center has grown to become home to over a dozen non-profit Irish-American organizations each promoting a different aspect of its culture. Collectively, the Buffalo Irish Center has become one of the richest cultural and ethnic centers in Western New York.

For everything from weddings to fundraisers and anything in between, air-conditioned hall rentals are available with catering optional. The beautiful wainscoted décor of the Claddagh Room would set off any event for up to 120 seated people. The larger Emerald Room can seat 270 people.

Inside the Buffalo Irish Center is the GAAA Irish Library. This library was originally formed to house a collection of books donated by Mr. Roy Phelps of Niagara Falls. Through the years, it has evolved into a unique ethnic library in Western New York, one of a kind.

As Buffalo’s cultural ambassador, the Grammy Award-winning Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra under the leadership of music director JoAnn Falletta presents more than 120 Classics, Pops and Youth Concerts each year and reaches over 40,000 students (K-12) across all eight counties of Western New York. Since 1940, the orchestra’s permanent home has been Kleinhans Music Hall, a National Historic Site with an international reputation as one of the finest concert halls in the United States.

The BPO has toured widely across the United States and Canada including the Florida Friends Tour with JoAnn Falletta in March 2010, the first multi-city tour since the 1988 European tour.

During the tenure of current music director JoAnn Falletta, the BPO has rekindled its distinguished history of NPR broadcasts and recordings, including the release of 36 new CDs of a highly diverse repertoire on the NAXOS and Beau Fleuve labels. The Philharmonic’s Naxos recording of composer John Corigliano’s “Mr. Tambourine Man: Seven Poems of Bob Dylan,” featuring soprano Hila Plitmann, won Grammys in two categories of the three for which it was nominated: Classical Vocal Performance and Classical Contemporary Composition.

The Colored Musicians Club is the only remaining African American club of its kind in the United States. In 1999, it was designated a historical preservation site. In 2018, it was designated as a National Historic Site. Currently, the Club is promoting historical research and the preservation of jazz in Buffalo. Members offer free jazz lessons to community youth, and hold a jam session at the club on Sunday evenings. Giants of jazz like Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis once played at the city’s Colored Musicians Club. It continues to operate as a club and a jazz history museum.

Similar to, ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’, ComedySportz (runs in perpetuity, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm): ComedySportz is improvisational comedy played as a sport! Two teams of act-letes compete for the biggest laughs while a referee calls the fouls, and points are awarded by you, the loyal fans. This all-ages show is entirely improvised based on your suggestions – there are no scripts or pre-planned sketches; all of the songs, scenes and characters are invented right before your eyes. Two teams. A thousand laughs. One winner.

The North Park Theatre is a historical single screen movie theatre in Buffalo, New York. It has functioned as a cinema since it opened in 1920.

Originally called Shea’s North Park, the theatre, along with Shea’s Performing Arts Center, serves as a remnant of the now defunct Shea’s theatre chain, once owned by early twentieth century businessman Michael Shea. Its design by Henry Spann was influenced by the neoclassical movement. The auditorium features a proscenium above the screen and a 5-paneled recessed dome arched into the ceiling, both decorated with murals by Raphael Beck.

Still used as a movie theater and entertainment venue today.

PAUSA presents music concerts and artistic exhibitions focusing on artists indigenous to Buffalo and its surrounding area as well as national and international touring acts. PAUSA is a gathering place for creative musicians, artists and writers, where a free exchange of ideas can take place.

The relaxed atmosphere of the venue attracts patrons who wish to attend an intimate concert or an art exhibit while enjoying a glass of wine. Arts are the primary attraction at PAUSA: audiences are intentionally small, to more easily return to the intimate origins of live musical experience.

It is not their intent to have a traditional “women’s company” in any exclusionary sense, but a “company run by women.” They work with the finest actors, directors, designers and playwrights, both female and male.
