In 2013, Carm Paolini and Steve Calvaneso had an idea of opening up an old-time Buffalo bar – one that would help reinvigorate their Western New York roots.
They wanted a place that prided itself on serving fresh food and offering customers the luxury to watch Western New York sports. They also wanted a bar that offered more dining options than just typical bar food, which they said most bars in the area do not offer.
And less than a year later after preliminary talks, Blue Bull Tavern was opened.
The Blue Bull Tavern is one of, if not, the only sports bar that is in walking distance for the plethora of students that live near North Campus.
