Those that want to play alone can choose from other games as well. And if there is a particular sporting event that you’d like to watch (like a UFC bout), just ask!
The restaurant is open until 1:00am on weekends, and opens at 9:00am on Sunday morning for all you NFL football fans. Happy Buffalo winging!
