The circa-1902 building at 49 Illinois Street in downtown Buffalo was reimagined as a music venue in 2013 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014 for its industrial past, a site where drilling equipment and capital hardware goods were produced for various local industries.

Since then, Buffalo Iron Works’ operator has established itself as a staple in the city’s vibrant entertainment scene featuring local and national touring artists across diverse genres on its 16’x20’ stage. The venue also opens for most events hosted across the street at KeyBank Center, the largest indoor arena in Western New York and home to the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres and NLL’s seven-time league champion Buffalo Bandits.
