Just a hop and a skip away from the Holiday Valley Resort in Ellicottville, you’ll find one of the funkiest restaurants near Buffalo.

The Ellicottville Depot Restaurant is housed in a former train station that’s positively dripping in personality. This tasty place has been serving up hungry guests for nearly 40 years.

One of the main features here is the restaurant’s vibrant rock ’n roll theme. It hosts frequent live music shows and even has its own dance floor where you can shimmy and shake the night away.

The dangling decor adorning the ceiling is another festive element, as it changes from season to season and gives guests something to marvel at while they dine.

Sidle up to the bar and you’ll spot little nods to rock legends like the Rolling Stones.

Once you work up an appetite from all that dancing, dig into the menu full of classic pub fare, including pizza, wings, burgers, and more.

If this is your first visit to Ellicottville Depot Restaurant, we recommend ordering the Texas Honey Wings, and you really can’t go wrong with any of the gourmet pizzas.

Though it may look like just another old train station, this unique restaurant offers a toe-tapping experience that’s easy on the ears and the taste buds!

The Ellicottville Depot is located at 6094 US-219, Ellicottville, NY 14731 and is open Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to midnight and on weekends from noon to midnight. For more information, including a peek at the menu and details about upcoming music events, visit the restaurant’s website and follow along on its Facebook page.
