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.

When the Palace Theatre opened on July 18, 1925, Lock City Theater Company President A. Edmund Lee told a capacity crowd that it was “built not for the aristocracy, but for all the people” and that they had successfully “extended Broadway into Lockport and to the people of Niagara.” Those statements ring true to this day, as the Palace shines like a beacon for the arts and entertainment that are so vital to our community — and to our collective lives.

The Hollywood Theatre first opened on April 19, 1926 and for decades, board members have been restoring the theatre – one historic phase at a time.

Seats are in place, the original carpeting has been duplicated, murals and ornate plaster have been cleaned and restored. We’re open for special events, host public tours and private film parties. Be sure to check our Facebook page for up-to-date information. Hope to see you soon!

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.

Gamelan music from the island of Java in Indonesia is one of the oldest continuously played musical art forms in the world. The music is a community art that can work only with cooperation, listening, empathy, and learning. It teaches patience, listening skills, and music philosophy, challenging players to change their perspectives on what music can be. In gamelan we create beautiful music together, with each player adding pieces to the whole. In Buffalo we have created this new community and are watching it flourish.

Nusantara is an old Javanese word that refers to the vast archipelago that is now called Indonesia. We see Buffalo as our own archipelago of different cultures and art.
