It’s a vibe that only makes sense on Allen Street, not in some strip mall on Transit Road.Īlready a part owner in Blue Monk and Coles, Shatzel has gotten some criticism online for having the same restaurant, only in different locations – but stepping into ABV – you quickly understand that this gastropub is nothing like either Blue Monk or Coles. Shatzel also told me that he expects parents to bring their kids in for a great burger and maybe check out a different kind of music, art or culture. That description might make ABV sound like some dingy, weird smelling cousin to the Old Pink, but the place is very clean and new. He’s 83, you know, and he could come in – but he won’t understand the music.” “Like, I don’t want my dad to be necessarily comfortable here.
“I’m not saying it’s not going to be for everybody, but some people won’t understand it,” Shatzel recently told me. However, those of us who have been living near or visiting Allen Street for years will probably keep coming back for ABV’s distillation of Buffalo’s alternative music and cultural scenes.

The new gastropub is a collaboration among chef Dino DeBell, craft beer enthusiast Mike Shatzel and professional rock musician Johny Chow and the triangulation of those three things – food, beer and music – is what’s sure to bring people through the doors of ABV.
If you’ve ever spent time digging through the bins at Home of the Hits or stumbling around The Continental at 1 a.m., then walking into newly-opened Allen Burger Venture will feel like a weird sort of homecoming.
