Red Buffalo Brewing

This place got picked for our weekend adventure. We don't go to Statesville very often so we picked this.Upon arrival, what a great surprise. It's a Buffalo sports brewery/bar! Being raised near Buffalo, this was like going home! The front windows are decorated with Buffalo sports memorabilia and flags. As we walked in, you immediately notice that it's well-lit, they have a great bar to sit at and plenty of seating. You can pick regular tables or elevated bar stool tables. They have some seating in the main bar area and another area split off. We chose the split off area as more regular tables were there. We sat down and were immediately greeted by a very friendly server. The menu features some typical and atypical bar food. Wings, hot dogs, fries and other appetizers, an assortment of subs and sandwiches and such but also kicked-up deviled egg flight! You pick 6 of the flavors you want. We opted to try all 6 flavors. We also ordered 10 wings and 2 Whistlepig hot dogs (toppings of bacon and beer cheese).My wife also ordered hard cider and I opted for the Blue'sberry Ale. Cider and ale were very good, served in a stylish Red Buffalo glass.While we waited, the owner made a point to also greet us and we had a great conversation about the Buffalo area and the pain we both felt being Bills' fans .The egg flight came first with the 6 flavors. Just know it's 6 egg halves. All were very good and different. My favorite was the wasabi and Bloody Mary. My wife liked the loaded and Chicago egg. But they were all tasty.The wings and hot dogs came. Wings came with celery and bleu cheese (of course! Ranch in an abomination served with wings)The wings were crispy and of good size. Best bleu cheese I've had in years. Very thick and very pungent as it should be. We ordered medium heat. For us, I'd order hot next time. But the sauce was tasty and had decent heat, I'd just like a littleMore kick. Personal preference.The hot dogs were very good as well. Plenty of toppings and everything was cooked well. All in all, 10/10 and a great experience all around. I've been hearing some teasing information they might be getting roast beef on weck! For those of you who know, YOU KNOW! Can't wait for our return trip to the Res Buffalo. Come down and meet these folks. You'll be glad you did.

In short - the Red Buffalo is a fun loving, small town brewery experience that Statesville sorely needs. The long? This bar has some very kitschy and fun decor with high on life servers with a pretty good selection on beer. I came here after a Statesville After Five event on a Friday evening, and I was intrigued by the number of outdoor clients on both the front and back patios. The last few times I've come into town, I have been curious on both the offerings and the vibe of this brewery. Let me start with an interesting, to me, tidbit- at the Friday After Five event, this brewery had a tent set up with a few draft beers. I tried the Angry Brunette Black, as labeled on the banner. I asked the server what type it was, and he said it was an ale as written, though not explicitly so. It definitely looked and tasted like a stout. It was really good, and I ended up with another despite the server's insistence that it was an ale. I decided to visit the brick and mortar location later in the evening to see the extended menu. Before entering, I noticed the fun back patio and made my way around to the front patio that was all very lively with patrons. Once I entered, I took a seat at one end and decided to order a red ale. It had a decent flavor and body profile, but I soon moved on to the off menu strawberry ale at the suggestion of another patron. This strawberry ale had a great creamy body and hints of strawberry. I ended up with two of these by the end of the night. The most entertaining factor were the regular patrons and the servers. The conversations and actions were routinely comical and light hearted. The venue also had live music while I was there, and may I say - while I am so pleased that this artist was there this evening, his talents are well worth larger and better populated venues. All in all, the Red Buffalo served well for a night of entertainment and antics with some decent craft brew to imbibe. It is an excellent venue for the small town of Statesville, and seemingly attracts excellent talent for a Friday evening.

This place a hidden gem! Lots of Locals and if you want some awesome craft beer this is the spot. Food looks amazing and all the servers were amazing I came here 2 days in a row. The brewery an led restaurant was very laid back on Tuesday and Wednesday but over all a great spot. If I'm ever in NC I'd come back here again.

This is one of the most fun eclectic decorated places I've visited. I just kept looking around and appreciating it. Unique is an understatement. Go visit just to see the decorations. The beer was pretty good. They were mixing some and that made some tasty interesting drinks...a jalapeño pale ale being one of my favorites. The service was excellent. Everyone was nice and welcoming.

Love the Red Buffalo! A true downtown staple in Statesville. An always thriving little bar, the Red Buffalo makes you feel at home. A wide variety of brews, including a few gluten free, is available to the crowd via the main bar and secondary window. Hosting live music, and now offering food - you can't beat it. Bartenders are shamelessly kind!

Such a great find while traveling Statesville. We are die hard Buffalo Bills fans from NY and what an eclectic fun place, not to mention a fantastic staff and great brews. They have music and food trucks and certain days and the owner is a great guy from Buffalo. Took the time to chat with us and to show us his portable brewery/fire truck. I highly recommend the chocolate stout, and the jalapeño beer as well as the house ale. I wished we lived closer!

This spot truly is a gem and eclectic find! The decor obviously has buffalos and so much other random goodness. They don't do flights, but the bartender was basically a mixologist for their beers and I got a blueberry stout and it was delicious. There's a main bar area and side room, perfect for adults + kids. Parking is on the street or in the lot!

We met some friends here for a visit and some craft beers. It was a fun atmosphere and we enjoyed the beers, especially the Crossroads DIPA. The bartender was very friendly and really funny. We enjoyed our interactions with her. We stayed inside for a while then went to sit at a table outside.

Without a doubt one of the most friendliest places in Statesville. Great beer and great music. If your in the area you have got to check this place out. Say hi to Joe the owner.

It's my favorite hometown place to meet with friends! Service is always with a smile, wings are good, and the owner, Joe, has a heart for our downtown, he always gives back! Oh, and I forgot to mention that they have some GREAT brews!
