It was back in November of 2007 when we first learned that plans for a new operator had fallen through for Jimmy Mac’s (555 Elmwood – corner of Elmwood and Anderson). Since that time we have heard countless (and I mean countless) rumors about a wide variety of potential operators looking at that corner. Every time we heard something there would be silence for a few more weeks until the next rumor would surface.
Apparently the rumor mill has died down and we now have confirmation that an operator has signed on at the location. Word has it that the new bar/restaurant is going to be called The Thirsty Buffalo (some sources say) and is being touted as a sports bar. The establishment will be run by a proven Buffalo restaurateur who currently has a location on the outskirts of the city. This is great news due to the high-profile location of the former (and empty) Jimmy Mac’s restaurant.
