Our Story

Live Music Lives At Nietzsches.

Since 1982, Nietzsches has been a staple of the Western NY music scene. With live music every single night, the heartbeat of Buffalo can always be heard at 248 Allen Street.

Nietzsche’s is one of Buffalo’s truly legendary venues—not only because it is a home for many local musicians, but also because of its welcoming reputation among international, national, and regional touring acts. We also pride ourselves on our storied history as a jumping-off point for many musicians.

It is our mission to provide Buffalo with a welcoming space, featuring live music 7 Days A Week. For over 42 years, we’ve been working towards a better Buffalo arts & music scene.

Cheers to many more wonderful years of entertainment!

What’s Next For Nietzsche’s?

Under the stewardship of longtime employees at Nietzsches, our cultural & community legacy will continue. As a worker-owned cooperative, we are excited to you show Nietzsche’s next chapter.

Everyone is welcome in our “living room.”
