New York State has a rather late last-call, with bars closing at 4:00 AM. On busy nights, bars and clubs can be packed right up until closing time. On slower nights, establishments close at their own discretion, sometimes much earlier than legally required.
In downtown Buffalo, a quarter-mile section of Chippewa Avenue between Elmwood Avenue and Main Street (the "Chip Strip") is known as the most popular bar/club district, catering primarily to the younger crowds. However, Buffalo and the surrounding areas have no shortage of drinking establishments, and you should be able to find multiple watering holes within staggering distance in any moderately-populated area in the region. A 2005 survey by Scarborough Research found that 50 percent of legal-aged Buffalo residents have consumed a beer in the past month, ranking the city at 4th in the United States by that measure (Milwaukee being the top consumer, at 54 percent). Buffalo also has the interesting distinction of being the only major US market in which an imported beer is the most widely consumed (Labatt Blue, which has its US headquarters in the city).
