Taps on Main: A Hidden Gem with Killer Whiskey, Fries & a Possible Bills Mafia Connection

If you’re looking for a place that perfectly balances great drinks, fantastic food, and a touch of sports-bar mystery, look no further than Taps on Main. This spot delivers everything you want in a laid-back, high-quality bar experience—whether you’re here for the whiskey, the food, or to unravel its potential Buffalo Bills allegiance.

Whiskey Lovers, Rejoice

Taps on Main boasts an impressive whiskey selection, catering to both casual sippers and serious enthusiasts. But what sets it apart? Draft whiskey. Yes, you read that right—whiskey on tap. A unique and brilliant way to serve a smooth pour, perfect for those who appreciate their spirits without the wait. Whether you go for a straight sip or a well-crafted cocktail, this bar knows its whiskey game.

Fries & Tots That Go Above & Beyond

Now, let’s talk about the fries and tots combos because they are next-level good. The poutine? A rich, decadent masterpiece with gravy (truth be told, it is more an Au Jus) and cheese curds that could rival any Canadian classic. The Philly cheesesteak tots? Think all the best flavors of a Philly, piled onto crispy tots, delivering a perfect mix of crunch, gooey cheese, and savory steak. And while these might steal the show, everything coming out of the kitchen is top-notch—from the wings to the sandwiches.

A Buffalo Bills Bar in Disguise?

Here’s where things get interesting: Tonawanda, NY signs. Great wings. A vibe that screams Buffalo Bills Mafia, even if it’s not officially advertised. No one outside Western New York is rocking Tonawanda memorabilia unless they have ties to the area. So, while I didn’t meet the owners, I’d put money on this place being a secret shrine for Buffalo expats. If you’re a Bills fan, this could be your new favorite bar. (Don’t worry Chiefs fans, there is plenty of Chief memorabilia and nothing is disrespectful.)

Final Verdict

Taps on Main nails it with top-tier whiskey, killer food, and an inviting, sports-friendly atmosphere. Whether you’re here for a casual drink, a feast of fries and tots, or to secretly root for the Bills, this place is a must-visit.
