Collegiate lettering and a circular badge give the graphic the feeling of a long-kept neighborhood souvenir, connecting German tavern heritage with Buffalo’s enduring bar culture.

🍺 Inside Buffalo’s Oldest Tavern Tradition

Located at 674 Ellicott Street, Ulrich’s traces its history to 1868, when German immigrant Fredrick Schrerier opened a grocery-saloon serving everyday provisions and local beer. The establishment became Ulrich’s after Michael Ulrich took over in 1906, and it grew into a social and political gathering place within Buffalo’s German community. During Prohibition, the downstairs operated as a delicatessen and restaurant while a private club occupied the second floor. Historic details associated with the tavern include its old pulley system and a black cherry back bar acquired from the Iroquois Hotel. Local tourism organizations widely recognize Ulrich’s as Buffalo’s oldest tavern, a distinction that reflects both its age and its connection to the city’s brewing history. The word “Gemütlichkeit” on the shirt captures that heritage especially well, expressing the warmth, fellowship, and easy hospitality traditionally associated with German tavern life.
