Does anyone know anything about them closing?

I heard years ago that the original owner (Marty) had gotten sick and literally gave the business to one of the original bartenders (Sandy). I stopped in there a couple of weeks ago and a bartender told me that Marty was in Hosparus care and his family was not fond of him handing the business over to Sandy. The bartender indicated he had not given the bar to Sandy, but that was his intention. The place has been shuttered ever since.

Does anyone know anything about this? They had GREAT wings. Also that was a great Buffalo Bills hang out. Can anyone recommend another Bill's hangout is Rooties remains closed?

Went by twice this week, closed both times. No sign on the door.

I’ve heard some chatter about that place closing too. It’s such a bummer to see a spot with great wings and good vibes go down like that! From what I’ve picked up, Marty handing it over to Sandy was a big deal, but family drama seems to have complicated things. It’s tough when a beloved hangout like that gets caught up in personal issues.I used to hit up a gentlemen's club in LA with friends, and it had a similar community feel, always buzzing with good energy and great food. If you’re looking for a new Bills hangout, maybe try some local sports bars. They often have good game day specials and a similar vibe. It’s a shame about Rooties, but hopefully, another gem will pop up soon!
