Mother's Restaurant

Tucked into Virginia Place, this busy bar and outstanding restaurant serves a full dinner menu 365 days a year, even on holidays, from 5 pm to 3 am. The bar is open 4 pm to 4 am. Good, fresh food is well prepared, and the wine list presents some exceptional values. Mothers restaurant, owned by restaurateur Mark Supples, is located off the beaten path at 33 Virginia Place in the midst of the Allentown district. Mothers is a longstanding popular pub and restaurant for the upscale, professional crowd living and working in downtown Buffalo. It’s also a well known political haunt. During campaign season, it is not uncommon to find local politicians hosting fundraisers there or announcing their candidacies. The restaurant serves dinner seven nights a week and has a thriving bar business. And to Supples’ credit, Mothers serves dinner long into the night—a smart policy which favors a well-dressed nightclub audience.  The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, and the décor hints at its carriage-house history with post and beam décor supported by an interior structure of brick and stone. A skylight over the bar brightens the rooms during daylight hours. Tables are covered in linen and candlelight complements every table for the evening trade.
