The side door entrance, adjacent to a residential doorway, is the perfect representation of this easy to miss spot.
The man behind the bar greeted every person walking in with a smile. Quick to answer any questions. A smash up of a bar and restaurant, the pub vibe was excellent.
We ordered a Fried fish with Cole slaw, fries, and macaroni salad, as well as a double order of the hot southern Buffalo wings.
The fish was perfectly crisp and moist, a gentle haddock flavor, complemented perfectly by the bright vinegar offered along side. The cole slaw was large shreds, with a light sweetness and wonderful fresh crunch. The macaroni salad was rich and creamy without being too heavy. The fries were a thin, skin on, real potato flavor affair. A large portion and a delight to the senses.
The Buffalo wings were tender, juicy, crispy and soft in all the right ways. You could bite through the skin without pulling it all off in one bite. The "Hot" level of sauce was just right for a real Buffalo fan. It didn't make me break a sweat, but it hit all the right notes of a perfect sauce. The neon orange on your fingers, the bright punch of vinegar, and the buttery sweetness balanced with heat. Served with celery, carrots, and blue cheese dip this will be my go to spot for Buffalo wings.
The bartender also mixed up a good Gimlet, an easy drinking cocktail that takes the fried fish experience to an 11.
If you're in town and looking for a vibrant pub experience with good drinks and good food, Marinaro's Larkin Tavern is your destination.
We can't express enough how absolutely OUTSTANDING our private party at Marinaros Tavern was! I planned a 50th surprise party for my boyfriend and Jerry was so accommodating and helpful! Surprises can be stressful and they made it so much easier! We arrived to a happy crowd of people enjoying good food, beverages and company! The bar staff was friendly and no one waited to be served! Fast hard working and always smiling! They helped refill food that ran low and at the end of the party they helped box up leftovers! I will most definitely use them again in the future for parties! Whether you're looking for a place to have a party or just good drinks in a local 716 setting with friendly staff and a great time this is your place! Enjoy!
My wife and i like to order fish fry here and there from many places. This fish fry from marino larkin tavern is definitely on our top list the cole slaw was also amazing. The presentation of the food alone shocked me. Great to the very last bite
Great neighborhood bar - no pretentiousness, the real deal. The staff is super friendly and they have a good selection of food options on their menu. Pizza logs are fire!
Awesome time!! Awesome staff!! Definitely a great atmosphere to watch the Bill's games!!! Top notch!!
Love this place! A little Buffalo hideaway with great food and a friendly atmosphere! They are cash only, but there's an atm by the bar. My book club meets here and we love it!
Good food, good service, cash only, and good atmosphere.
One of my favorite places in the city. All the buffalo staples and more delicious food of course! Some of the coolest sports memorabilia every inch and the people ad customer service is always amazing
