Buffalos one and only party bar. If you're looking for a fun night out with great music and massively oversized drinks this is the place to go. Ever had a drink so big you need to hold it with two hands. It's called the fishbowl. Don't say I didn't warn you. Bottoms up! The go to party destination for downtown buffalo!

Bartenders are hot, drinks are cheap, dj knows how to spin a beat. Always good laughs and a good time here, I will be coming back. Thursdays are also super lit.

First time visiting here and was very happy with the crowd and the service. D.J. kept the dancefloor moving. Had a very good time and would recommend to anyone into the dance club scene.

Went during Santa Con. A guy got a little handsy. I grabbed his arm and moved it away before shifting further away. Within seconds one of the bouncers was there asking if I knew the guy and if I wanted him removed. This bar was packed to the max (they were literally turning people away) so it was surprising that anyone noticed what happened, let alone that they'd take the time to walk away from a busy door to make sure I was okay.

Home of the Fish Bowls!! Fun and friendly environment. The dress code is laid back. The bartenders are cute, the bouncers are on top of their game and the DJ's will play what you want to hear!

Pretty nice looking bartenders... drinks are made well and the fishbowls are out of this world 😛 DJ Exposure and Delta are the best around. Security is always on top of their game, definitely recommend to anyone for a good time. …

Best Djs in the city by far, they are really good at playing to the crowd and keep it very upbeat and fun all night, bartenders are great, efficient, and fast, the fishbowls they have are amazing, prices are very affordable! The patio is very fun when it’s open! Definitely recommend this place!

I would highly recommend Bottoms Up to anyone who’s looking for a fun night out. The bartenders work fast, know what they’re doing, and are very friendly. The DJs are awesome, great owners, and the security are always on top of any issues if any are to happen at all. Bottoms Up is known for their specialty fishbowls and have very reasonably priced drinks! If I were you I would definitely check this place out, if you haven’t already! The inside has a great atmosphere along with a heated patio bar with a separate DJ

One of the best party bar/nightclubs I’ve been to in a while. The DJ lineup is always great and the staff is friendly and helpful. If you go here find a male bartender named Dean, he knows his drinks. He cranks out drinks faster than you can blink and with ease. Thursday nights are the best here cause of the patio being open and the environment which gets changed nightly! Owner Tim was also super nice!
