A very busy spot. Popped in here after a lacrosse game at the Key Bank Centre. Very busy spot atmosphere was great. We arrived a bit late in the night and the place was already packed (not bad, just a very popular place). Most drinks were well priced. Merch for sale (shirts, sweater, hats, torques). Definitely going to back here.

It's been a minute since Buffalo has had a proper gay bar establishment, but Twentysix Allen is it! The bartenders are prompt and attentive, and the drinks are strong. The music is on point and brings me back to the days of the 2000s and 2010s, with newer stuff mixed in. The perfect balance! 👏👏👏

As a straight female, I’ve never felt nothing but respect and love from all the bartenders. I used to go here before it was remodeled and enjoyed it. Now that it has gotten a face lift and amazing owners, I knew it was destined for greatness. I’ll never forget walking in there for the first time after they remodeled… the bathrooms had to be my favorite part. As a supporter of LGBTQIA+ I love the fact that it is a gender neutral space that has privacy if that is what you prefer. This place has given the community an area to let loose and be yourself no matter what. I highly recommend you check it out if you haven’t.

The best queer bar in Buffalo! I’ve met some of my best friends here. I like that there’s usually a good mix of a crowd, you won’t ever be lonely. They often have great DJs spinning a wide range of tracks. You can dance and then escape to the patio during the summer for a smoke break and good banter. Themed nights are always fun! We need more spaces like 26 in Buffalo.

Great drinks, great atmosphere, great staff, great clientele — we stopped in here for a drink while visiting the area and had such a wonderful time. Everyone there — staff and patrons alike — was so friendly and fun. The music was fabulous, too. Play the picture game at the bar — hilarious! Thanks for letting some cishet folks have such a fantastic evening. 💜

I come here often to watch the bills games. I enjoy the atmosphere of the 26 and they have the best bartenders you could ask for. I would highly recommend this place. They also offer alcohol free drinks which is great for anyone who doesn't drink. I got an alcohol free cranberry lemon drink is excellent.

Phenomenal place filled with amazing people, it feels like a family there, a big weird, all over the place family, in the best possible way. A safe place for any queen person to be (providing they are 21+, it IS a bar) also they make great drinks, very well trained staff

Cute local gay bar we decided to visit the past few nights while in town from Texas. Not many reviews or photos so decided to add a bit here. First night bartenders were fine, tonight's bartender leaves something to be desired in regards to manners so maybe something to be desired there like the other reviews say. The space looks really fantastic inside, great design and love all the LGBT references. The acoustics are a bit harsh and it gets very loud with just a few people, but it's a bar so what do you expect?
