HOW TO GET HERE

We are closest to the downtown Amtrak Exchange Station, however some trains only go to Amtrak Depew Station in the suburbs. Both work, Exchange is just a lot closer.

Walk west towards Washington Street to Main Street, walk left to Canal Side NFTA Train Station--this is an above ground subway that is free. Take the train going towards"University", you will get off at the Fountain Plaza Station (last above ground free stop). Walk north towards the "Shea's Buffalo" sign. We are just past this sign on the opposite side of the street at 667 Main St. Heres a link to the trek to us, which is easy to walk as well. A cab or rideshare should be in the $8-17 range.
From Amtrak Depew Station:
You can take local NFTA bus #46 to Walden Galleria Mall, transfer to #6 to downtown.
