Pearl Street Grill & Brewery has been offering fun to Buffalo residents and visitors since 1997.
It started as a collaboration between local investors and the Wynkoop Brewing Company from Denver. After a few years, the locals were able to buy out the Denver-based brewing company to create a local place to serve their beloved Buffalo.
The building the houses Pearl Street dates back to 1870 when it was originally owned by a Buffalo dressmaker.
For 50 years it was a dressmaking hub until it was sold to R.C. Neal Co and turned into a hardware store. The hardware store operated here until 1982.
During that time Mac Garry’s restaurant opened, operating out of the building's basement. But, in 1963, an expressway was built and the street grade was changed taking away the windows looking into Mac Garry's restaurant. Things ceased for two decades after that.
20 years later, Garcia’s Irish Pub opened in 1983. Until 1996 it was the only business in the once thriving building. That's when Pearl Street Grill & Brewery showed up bringing smiles and full bellies to Buffalo!
The New Orleans-style building has wrap around copper-roofed patios and hundreds of blooming flower baskets. It's perfect for seeing Lake Erie sunsets, cityscapes and waterfront views.
There are four floors at Pearl Street, including the basement. They have a total of 9 bars and countless tap handles. Each one serves house-made craft beer from their holding tanks in the basement.
Not a meat lover? Try the Impossible Burger! It's a 100% Plant-based southwestern style vegan burger topped with crispy fried onions on a vegan split top burger bun.
Pearl Street Grill and Brewery is located at 76 Pearl St. inBuffalo. Check out their website, visit them on Facebook, or give them a call on 716-856-2337.
