Gabriel's Gate
A historic Allentown tavern in the heart of Buffalo, NY — serving legendary wings, rich French onion soup and hearty pub fare inside one of the city's original 1864 Tift Row Houses.
A Piece of Buffalo History Since 1864
Tucked into Buffalo's vibrant Allentown district, Gabriel's Gate occupies one of the neighborhood's original Tift Row Houses, built in 1864. Step through our doors and you are greeted by a beautiful stained-glass entryway, a magnificent carved wooden statue, roaring fireplaces and warm brick walls lined with Buffalo Bills memorabilia and vintage taxidermy.
Since opening in 1969, Gabriel's Gate has been a gathering place where locals and first-time visitors share a table, a pint, and a plate of the city's best wings. It's casual, it's genuine, and it's unmistakably Buffalo.
