Have to do Shea's!
by buffaloborn at Citysearch
Shea's is a real theatre experience unlike any you may have had if you have not had the opportunity to be in a nostalgic setting as this. The lobby is opulent and impressive. Portraits of all the greats grace the walls as you sip a drink and dream of how people of yesteryear must have had 'the life'. Yet here you are living it yourself! Centrally located in a thriving nightlife theatre district, you will be happy to know you can talk to any person next to you at any of the bars and restaurants and come to know that Buffalo is indeed the 'city of good neighbors' it is promoted to be. Rail transit lets you off at the front door!
- Pros: Great charm
