From Buffalonet, "a not for profit internet site dedicated to preserving Buffalo and Western New York's Heritage":
Jim Daley, from Buffalo's old first ward and his Bavarian wife Erika, took over the business in late 1954. They added a mix of German and Irish sensibility. In their over 40 years of business, they have seen urban renewal clear away the once great neighborhood that surrounded Ulrichs and watched the demise of the Buffalo brewing industry which had originally spawned the business to begin with. However, Ulrichs remains a favorite downtown lunch spot and after work watering hole, famous for its St. Patricks Day festivities and its homecooked meals and fine selection of premium beer.
From Bertha and Fredrick Schuerier in 1868, to Erika and Jim Daley today, Ulrichs' rich tradition has endured. This small tavern, born 8 years before Custer rode to his death at the Little Bighorn, stands as a sentinel to Buffalo's glorious past as well as its ever changing future. Since that fall day in 1868, Ulrichs' purpose has never changed: To provide a public house, where one can enjoy food, drink and camaraderie.
Jim "Coach" Daley Jr. now runs Ulrich's and he continues to offer his patrons delicious traditional German food, a wonderful selection of beer and friendly service.
In addition Ulrich's serves up live German and Irish music and hosts the city's finest St. Patrick's Day and Oktoberfest celebrations as well as events like mixers for the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus' community and a "History of Germans in Buffalo" lecture/dinner series.
