About Magic Bear Beer Cellar
From Magic Bear Beer Cellar's own website and its Google listing, read October 6, 2026.
Magic Bear Beer Cellar is a craft beer bottle shop and tasting bar in Buffalo's Larkinville neighborhood, on Seneca Street. Its website says the staff will help you find the right beer, to drink on site or take to go. Classes and guided tastings are a big part of what it does.
Twelve draft lines are organized by style, from pilsner and hazy IPA to sours, stouts and a nitro tap. When a keg kicks, the style stays similar but the beer changes. One more tap always pours a cider, seltzer or mead.
The shop also stocks wine, cider, mead and seltzers. A small, shareable food menu has house pickles, dips, and cheese and meat boards. Outside food is welcome too.
A semi-private area is set up for classes, pairings, tastings and private events. The website lists Craig Altobello as an instructor. Trivia runs on Thursdays and is free to play.
