This place is incompetent for a pool bar. The black dude at the front literally is on his phone the whole time not paying attention and couldn’t care less what is actually happening around him. Initially they said I was second in line. Then 30 minutes later when I asked about a table they said I was fourth in line. Then they said I was being “intense” by asking them. I’m at a pool bar asking about my place in line to play pool. That doesn’t make me “intense”. It makes this establishment incompetent. Your only job is to manage a line of people trying to play pool and you were unable to do so.

First time here and it was really nice. Bigger inside than it looks outside. Staff was very welcoming. Happy Hour prices were good.

My friend and I went here last night during the World Series to watch the game. Make sure you grab Emily as your server because she was absolutely amazing. Very polite, attentive and super kind! Even as it got more crowded during the game, Emily would not miss a beat with getting drinks for the table. She’s the best! All around this is a great bar with great staff!

Great place to hang out with friends. They have multiple pool table and the wait time is not that much b. Great drinks at the bar and fairly inexpensive for the location. Their happy hour is quite good. With drinks and food options. There’s street parking available or a nearby parking lot. Staff is helpful and place is well maintained with pool table and cues constantly taken care off.

This place makes me wanna be good at billiards and I strongly dislike billards. I had the most intense game of shuffle board of my life and we got a random stranger to rule on a couple close calls. Aka friendly atmosphere!

Absolute whale of a time! Best drinks in the city! Great music! Johnny Provolone is a must see bartender! 10/10 would recommend!

By far the best bar staff I have encountered in Philly! The bartenders, managers and even the security were all wonderful and so personable. We couldn’t decide on drinks so we had the bartender, Johnny, “surprise” us with a new drink each time we ordered (his picks based on our tastes) and let me tell you, he does not disappoint!

The place is literally a pool hall, arcade bar and sports bar, all in one and definitely worth checking out if you are in Philly.

Super friendly staff, very well maintained pool tables, only down side is it can get real crowded during the college semesters.

If your deciding on a night out and are having a hard time come to Buffalo billiards.
A bustling and spacious spot to improve your shot, compete against skilled players or to send the cue flying off the table while you sip drinks from there fully stocked bar.
When thinking in terms of food the Flatbread they have is absolutely delicious.
A set and play type building where your billed by the hour at a fair price.
Definitely a great way to enjoy your evening or have fun during your afternoon off.
Don't just let me Spell it out for you. Try it out yourself!

I had a very bad experience here last night from Sophie too Noah and the other bartender I guess I can say the staff that were scheduled last night 4-21-2022 I was racial profiled. I was being very nice even after the fact of not being served or being told I'm in the wrong place this is very heart broken. I will not recommend no African American to enter this place a big no no.

My top 3 sport bars in philadelphia! A lot of tv and have the sound of the game if its local. Prices compare to the other places in old city is cheaper and they have food again recently so im not sure if you can still bring your own food. Service always on point and they have a second floor open for the weekend. Billiards table is in good condition too.

Service was good we ordered food and they somehow lost it so we waited awhile but our server was very nice and put another order in so we ended up with an extra order of wings for free the drinks are good and the games make this place unique

I went there for the NYE for the second time. They were asking the vaccines card, and it made me feel more security. The girl in the entrance didn't have patience with my communication in English, but the guy and the girl that was attending us, was amazing and very kindly. The price is good and the beer too.

Don't forget your vaccination card it's not mandatory in the city but this place requires it that will tell you the type of people that run it and occupy it. If you want to deal with politics while going out to shoot pool and have a drink this is your place that's what it's all about just crazy kids with no life experience

One of our favorite bars in the city when we're just looking to hang out with friends and catch up. You can rent pool tables, dart boards, or shuffleboard boards by the hour. There are also arcade games and ski ball available. Draft selection is usually varied and excellent. I suggest Buffalo Billiards to everyone!
