Welcome to Pearl Street Grill & Brewery
 Our building was born in the year of Our Lord 1841 in the heart of what the world unaffectionately called “The most evil square mile in America” , the Buffalo Erie Canal District. It is no “stretching the blanket” during its heyday it was estimated that 70 to 80% of the major crimes of the entire nation occurred along the “Canawl”. Out of the maelstrom of the teeming masses of Foofoos, Lakers, Canawlers, Blacklegs, Macaronis, Whitelegs, Scalpers, Scoopers, Roughnecks and Runners our nation was reborn. The Babel-like confusion of Canal Street and the Commercial Slip was the Western terminus of the new America on the march, the brave new world, the Hope of the unanointed and the downtrodden. The result of this amazing period of Buffalo history was that we were the “Silicon Valley” of America for over 50 years. We are proud of our History and the hard-edge character of our building; our restoration has tried to maintain the “feeling”. ENJOY! EXPLORE! |
