GIN MILL LOVE
Wanna get lucky? While amateur lovers ply their dates with roses and boxed chocolates, truly adventurous admirers take their dates to the other side of the tracks to woo them. Forego the champagne and caviar and opt for a cold beer and some chips instead. Not only will we guarantee the most memorable Valentines date you've ever had but you'll visit some of the coolest gin joints this side of Casablanca while we eat, drink and laugh our way through local Buffalo history as Cupid shoots his arrow through your heart or pours you another boilermaker.
