A Modern Twist

As the #RiseBFLO tagged photos keep rolling in (holy shit, we’re almost at 10,000 now!), we’re honored to have a new sponsor at the helm for the next three weeks. Modern Nostalgia, the boutique OGs of Hertel Avenue and the new kids on the block down at the Shops at HarborCenter, are stepping in to give away some great items from their shops. And trust us, they’re stocking some real quality fashions and goods in their stores. I do love me some of that Athletic Recon workout gear. And don’t even get me started on how I’m attached to my Corkcicle thermos. Plus they stock great Buffalo-born wares from the likes of our friends at Peg’s Hardware and Ian Michael Co. Those items and more are available at both Modern Nostalgia locations.

We’re proud to give so many awesome photos a home with the #RiseBFLO submissions. Thank each and every one of you for tagging your shots each and every week. You guys are making it really tough to choose just one winner each week. But there can only be one Highlan, I mean… winner! And we choose you, @mike.shriver:

Mike, shoot us a DM on IG and we’ll spill the details on what you’ve won and how to claim it. Congrats, my man! Well deserved.

And now. For your viewing pleasure. The rest of your top IG contenders!

Happy Negroni Week! We are thrilled to be one of the 6,000 bars partnering with Campari and Imbibe Magazine to pour this beautiful cocktail and raise money for charity. Billy Club will be donating a portion of our Negroni sales to our neighbors at Friends of Night People. FONP helps the poor, homeless and destitute in Buffalo by providing food, clothing, medical care and most importantly hope to those in need. We will be featuring a different riff on the Negroni every day and trust us, we have some tricks up our sleeve before the week is up. Today we start off with the classic! #imbibegram #NegroniWeek #campari #imbibe #FONP #buffalo #riseBFLO #travelBUF #billyclub #drinkmorewhiskey
