THE STORY OF 226

Founded by Upstate New Yorkers est. 2020

Real people don't fit neatly in one personality box. That's why we've created a welcoming haven for Buffalo Bills members and Sabres fans, embracing diversity, and offering a variety of experiences for every mood and occasion. Experience the vibrant drinking scene with fellow Bills Mafia members. Forge unforgettable memories, celebrating victories together and creating lifelong bonds. We are proud to call ourselves your Buffalo bar in Charlotte.

We're not just a haven for sports, whether it'a girls' night out, private birthday celebration, or corporate happy hour, our friendly staff ensures an amazing experience.

DRIVEN BY VALUE

We believe that food shouldn't cost you your shirt. (Which is for the best really; we don't care what you're wearing as long as you stay dressed - thanks in advance.) Our goal is to make sure you get a delicious meal with great service, without the long wait.

PASSIONATE CUSTOMERS

"Norm!" Ok, so the bar isn't called "Cheers" and you're not a middle-aged accountant with an astronomical bar tab, but you are still a part of our Fairwood family. It's your continued patronage and ongoing support as we experiment and evolve that allows us to be your third place. A special thanks to Mafia on the Move and all Upstate New Yorkers that call The Fairwood 226 home. We wouldn't be a true Bills Mafia bar without you!
