  • 3/5 Cecelia Ivy Artistic C. 8 months ago on Google • 149 reviews
    I've been wanting to go here for awhile now. We decided to go to celebrate my birthday (a few days early.) First it's in a sketchy neighborhood. I wouldn't leave my car unlocked, if you can find parking nearby. The table we sat at needed to be cleaned so that was my first turn off. Used the bathroom and the tila are different colors and there's pain smeared on the wall assuming to cover something up but it's not the same green that's already there so it looks terrible. I got the shrimp tacos which were perfect. Only thing might be to get bigger tortillas since they didn't hold everything. My boyfriend got a steak sandwich which he said was over done and wasn't happy with the fries either. We both decided we may try it again one day but not in a rush to go back. I really wanted this to be a great place too.

    Such a cool vibe in this place I'm very glad we happened to stumble in during their Christmas party which was a lot of fun. Very friendly staff and overall welcoming and chill atmosphere. This will be my go to hang out spot in Buffalo. Delicious food especially the wings and Brussel sprouts! Can't recommend enough, also in a cool cool neighborhood

    THIS IS THE VEGAN SPOT OKAYY!! Please Read If Your A Vegan Okay so, I recently became a vegan and I've been struggling. I ABSOLUTELY HATE EATING LIKE A RABBIT but tonight everything has changed thanks to the Gypsy Parlor. So I was skeptical ordering out again because Bufdalo isn't the place where vegan food is widely accepted so the GOOD VEGAN options are limited. I'm tired of processed or overcooked fake meat, I'm tired of eating salads. What caught my attention at first was the vegan Black Bean Pastilitos. I'm a big pastilito lover and I love black beans so I ordered two with a side of sweet potato fries and fried pickles. When I arrived, my order was ready and the bartender offered me a drink and a seat to watch the game so I stayed. The First thing I tried was the Fried Pickles, somthing I wouldn't normally order but as I'm opening my palet I wanted somthing different. The pickles were steaming HOT, fresh and crunchy. The skin was flaky and golden and the dipping sauce was also vegan (explained by the waiter). This is when things got goodt, I didn't expect to demolish the entire order of fried pickles in one sitting but I was so captivated by how GOOD and FLAVORFUL they were. It's been soooooo long since I've had somthing that was THIS GOOD and VEGAN because honestly, in my opinion, most vegan food lacks flavor. BUT NOT THESE FRIED PICKES 10/10. so now the waiter brings me this drink, it was somthing with black berries and tequila I honestly don't know, the game was on and at this point I was already dedicated to finishing the rest of that food. So I Buss open the sweet potato fries. This was another option I would normally bypass on a menu but i wanted somthing different. They were served as HOTT as the fried pickles and just as crunchy with a side of honey. OH MY GOD, 10/10 Them Damn Fries Knocked My Noodles Back I have never had sweet potato fries before but yeah, If I ever get them again I'm ordering from here Now, not to be to dramatic but I was kinda stuffed because the serving sizes were enough to feed a grown man and I'm a smaller person, but I ordered another drink and the waiter brought me this Hot Applecider drink with rum in it I believe I don't even know at this point I was already 75% in and dedicated to clearing my plate .... so guess what. (Long dramatic pause) I BUSSED INTO THE PASTILITOS. (STILL HOTT) now, I was ready for this. I knew they were going to be just as good as the sides if not better but what I really loved about them were, They were filled and FAT. You completely get your money's worth with them and they are Filling. 1 was enough for me but I ended up eating 4 In total. 9/10 This was an experience I completely enjoyed, I had a terrible day. And I know this was a long post but this spot will be receiving so much money from me in the future they git it DOWN PACK when it comes down to Great VEGAN options and Awesome Friendly Service !!!!

    This place has it all! A nice calming ambiance, delicious food & wonderful service. My niece & I came up from Ohio to visit my daughter & I wanted to treat them to dinner. My daughter eats a vegan diet, I don't care for seafood, and my niece will eat damn near anything, lol! I wanted to find a place with options we could all enjoy and I found this place on a quick Google search. The food was amazing! I even tried my very 1st black bean "burger" & it was delicious! It was served on an amazing roll. My daughter loved her vegan fried "chicken" sandwich, and the fries were great!! My niece had the Miso with tofu & slurped up every drop. Our waitress was funny & attentive and laughed with us when my niece admitted she didn't know what a "mock-tail" was. We sat & chatted a bit after dinner & never once felt rushed to free up our table. We will definitely be back!!

    FANTASTIC Spot. Out of towners looking for a late night drink and food(since most things wanted to close at 10pm on Thursdays) this is a perfect night out. Busy area with a robust crowd. Loved the vibe - Karaoke night was so much fun. Bar tenders are friendly and make fantastic drinks! Cosmo was 10/10. Delicious food too!! It was a packed house when we went and honestly cannot wait to go back when we're in town again!

    This place was a great find the food is incredible and the staff was extremely nice. Prices were very reasonable and everything was extremely tasty. The menu however should come with warning labels because the quality and the quantity are definitely not represented with the prices. Single serve portions would probly feed a family of 4. The Raman tasted incredible but the bowl was more of a trough. If we are in the area again we will stop in and I highly recommend entire menu to anyone else

    B.O.B. our server was Awesome, really knows how to get the attention of a group of ladies still amped up from a long day at work...... They serve RC (Royal Crown) Cola so that was a pleasant surprise and my beverage of choice. Everyone was happy with their drinks. We all also enjoyed our food. I got the Spicy Shrimp Taco it was delicious, not very spicy though (I'm an Irish Gal from South Buffalo who loves to feel the heat 🌶️), but it did have great flavor. Tip: if you're going there for a Group gathering call to make a Reservation, we got lucky on our Thursday outing.

    My friend recommended we go to this place and I'm so glad we went originally. I never expected to have amazing food at a bar like this before! Just recently, I went back with her so I've now dined here twice. There are lots of delicious vegan and vegetarian options on the menu. The atmosphere is unique. Note: the menu on the website has fewer options than the in-person menu and there is also a menu of daily specials given to you. 2 suggestions to the owners: 1) Update the online menu and 2) wipe down the tables well with a clean cloth (the table was sticky and smelled like strong vinegar).

    Some of my happiest dances have been had here. Under the pink plush pool table the crowd above; With music & gatherings that transport you. The light of reds that covers the place is perfectly placed- Left shining over nighttime rendezvous…... Pick up curbside/ dine in^* Take home too

    We were traveling in from Schoharie and found this amazing little gem. The ambiance 10/10. Nice Gypsy vibes for this gypsy soul. Then we got the food and drink menu. The menu was diverse, rich in flavor and something for everyone. The food is as amazing! Often times when you find a place that puts all their effort in to a “look” or their menu has too many variety of things it’s not great. But we were blown away. Special shout out to Bob for making our experience even better. We’re only here for a few days but we will be back!

    My friend and I went at the end of May because my friend was hungry and always wanted to try it since it has vegan food. So, we went. I did not get anything since I was not hungry when I went but honestly they just had limited options to choose from and none of the options at the time seemed appealing. Pictured is what my friend got and he also got plantains which were literally in a bowl of oil and wasn’t that great. I tried the fries that came with my friend’s food and they weren’t bad.

    The brunch was everything. The steak was seasoned very well. We order mimosa and they were good. Definitely a place worth checking out! Had a great waiter also.

    The vegan chicken sandwich was delicious. The drag queen show was a fun surprise as well.

    Some of the nicest people in the industry at this place. Never had a bad meal, although did have something that was too spicy for me. Every person working there is exceptional, especially the owner and family. The atmosphere is creative, and they have live music some nights. The drinks are fun and inventive too, and there's Sunday brunch to boot!!! Solid choice.

    casual gay bar, patrons are mixed 20s and 30s. Pro: nice backroom stage, cheap drinks, secluded pool table. Con: dead most nights, unless there's a drag show.

    I used to love Gypsy Parlor, but I'm not sure why they've started charging people $10 to get in. This happened a few times, and there was no event or performance there. One time was 9 pm on a Saturday night. Ten dollars to walk in the joint! Not for nothin', but whatever happened to ladies' nights, or ladies getting in free? We're the ones spending money on cocktail after cocktail and tipping the bartenders well. It's kind of a turn-off, especially for a dive bar on the West Side that we've all been going to for years and years-- even when it was Ashley's! I hope management reconsiders charging this amount at the door.

    One of my favorite spots, it's dimly lit, service is attentive and friendly, they have good music, they do live jaz, and karaoke on Thursdays. The food is consistent and delicious. Always recommend the pork ramen.

    We always go when Peggy Farrell is singing. The hamburgers are great, the wine is very good for a bar and the service we had on June 30th was suburb!!! We had an awesome waitress who took care of our table of 10 WITHOUT writing down a thing and never missed a beat.

    2 stars because the person on the phone was super polite. Food was bland barely any taste fish fry was not good. The avocado mac salad boring. Personally not worth the price.

  • 5/5 Chance G. 8 months ago on Google
    So where to start with the Gypsy parlor. I say that because this place just slaps! I am not a bar person per say but this place always has a place in my heart. The food here is amazing lots of different options. The drinks are always going to keep you in a great mood and the prices as well. Service is on point never letting you go without a drink or taking your order. If visiting Buffalo and you want a great local experience keep an eye out on their website they always have a different event going on.

    Discovered this place because it is located across the street from the record store on Grant Street. Great food and selection. Also a few draft beers on tap. We stayed for some of the open mic (Wednesday night) and plan to go to the Kareoke on Thursday. Nice stage and cool ambience. The Sunday brunch menu looks very good and starts at 11:00am.

    Oh the food 🤤 being a vegetarian it can be hard to find good quality food at not an outrageous price but here you can! Please for the love to God, get the tofu miso ramen! I don't like miso but this is magic in your mouth.

    Delicious brunch! I had an Irish coffee, Pastelitos, and brunch poutine. Everything was delicious. It just got a little loud in the restaurant after noon hit. But other than that it was a delightful and delicious brunch.

  • 5/5 April M. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was outstanding! We got the Trash Plate as well as the creole fettuccine and a pastillo. Hot and fresh and great portion sizes. I had dinner and lunch and it was amazing the next day. Jon was our server and he was fantastic. Took great care of us and gave us space when needed. The entire Bar/dining is so welcoming and warm. It's a bit dim in there but perfect when your on a date. Will return for sure!!

    Didn't try the food but it looked and smelled fantastic. The bar, however, was lively and had a number of unique cocktails. Service was friendly and quick - definitely a place to check out if you're in West Buffalo

    Just an all around huge shoutout to this bar, we don't trust leaving our baby with a baby sitter yet and this place was so welcoming to myself, dad and the baby, while we got to celebrate a friends birthday. Little narrow but opens into a huge backroom with seating inside and outside. Pretty nice deck/patio to take a smoke break. Service was awesome, although packed with people they were great at recognizing who needed help and so sweet too. Heard a lot of complaints around the bar for how the short guy makes the herbal drink sour. Also shoutout to the nice security guard too. Good vibes all around. This atmosphere is awesome, if your looking for unique, they got it. Food came fast, got fried pickles which were awesome and the burgers are huge if your hungry! You guys rock, can't wait to come back.

    This place has the best vibes, from the employees to the customers. Gabriel was our server and she was so nice and went above and beyond for us. The food was FANTASTIC!! I JUST LOVE THIS PLACE! Awesome place!! It was my first time and I will be back again! Go see for yourself.

  • 5/5 Robyn C. 2 years ago on Google
    Very original place with a cool atmosphere! The pastalillos were good but for some reason they put hot sauce on the black bean one. They should put that on the menu! The cocktails were delicious. I loved the Grant Street Sling. The waiter was very attentive and friendly. Would for sure go again!
