Wingnutz to take over sports bar near airport [Video]

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Wingnutz is opening a second restaurant near the Buffalo Niagara International Airport.

The restaurant inside the Buffalo Airport Hotel at 4600 Genesee St., will replace Sports 365 Bar & Grill. Wingnutz Buffalo finalized a deal Oct. 9 to open the new site in partnership with Stephen Development, which acquired the hotel three years ago and opened the bar in the former Max’s.

The partnership gives Wingnutz a highly visible location next to the airport, while giving the hotel a built-in draw for wing-lovers here and outside the region: Wingnutz has received visitors from all over since it was named the No. 1 chicken wing in the world by Barstool Sports, the digital sports media company.
