About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Hot spot
Innovative

The Bar Bill Tavern is a WNY staple known for the world's best beef on weck and chicken wings! The bar & restaurant has been an institution in East Aurora, NY since the day it opened its doors in 1967 (the building itself has stood for over 150 years).

This pub style tavern brings simplicity back to the local watering hole. Rich wood, a massive marble bar and gleaming brass fixtures transport you to the quintessential American canteen.

The stripped-down menu offers Buffalo bar favorites like Chicken Wings and Beef on Weck. Neither option created at the Bar-Bill, but both perfected here. While you wait for your wings to be fried extra crispy or your beef to be hand carved at the bar you can enjoy a beer from our nine draft selections or extensive bottle list.

The bar continues to be filled with new comers, old friends, & a dedicated staff. We would love to show you the bar we love: no frills, no pretense, just a place to meet your old friends.

We took our eldest daughter there for her 24 th birthday ( she always wanted to try this gem). Family ordered h to the chicken sandwich.. fantastic!! Quesadillas, and of course had to order wings. We ordered the honey butter bbq and the Asian spice both extra crispy..FABULOUS!!! Finally one of the few places that when you say extra crispy they do it.. totally recommend.

Wonderful!! Loved the beef on weck, the wings, the Bloody Mary and the beer! The new addition of the foam picture on the Guinness sent this lunch over the top. Thanks Bar-Bill for being .... Bar-Bill!
