After hearing from Buffalo fans across the country, we’re excited to announce that Mike Miller and Delilah’s in Chicago are our winners! 💙❤️

There were far too many incredible nominations and honorable mentions to name them all. Buffalo fans everywhere showed us just how strong the connection to home can be. We’ll have to do this again next year!

Delilah’s has been a Chicago home for Buffalo Bills fans since 1993. Owned and operated by Mike Miller, a proud Western New Yorker born and raised in Tonawanda and a graduate of Kenmore West and UB, Delilah’s has been bringing Buffalo fans together for more than 30 years.

As Mike says, “You can take the boy out of Buffalo, but you can never take the Buffalo out of the boy!” And if you can’t be at the game… Where else would you rather be?

One nominator wrote to tell us about the weekly email Mike sends out as part of the pre-game. "Mike sends out a comprehensive commentary each week before the football game including his predictions on various plays snd stats. If you arrive early enough, he personally welcomes you and chats about the bar... and all things Buffalo."

Another, "Living in Chicago but being from WNY, this place was like a slice of home. Bills jerseys of current players and legends of years past served as the welcome committee as you walked in the door. Owner Mike Miller welcomes you with a smile and a virtual play by play on the microphone throughout the game and at commercial breaks - playing classic radio clips, songs from our youth, and cheering on those Bills. Everyone was there with two goals - to cheer on our Bills and to be a friendly WNY-er."

"Delilah's is convivial providing an unmatched atmosphere with like minded Bills fans in the city of Chicago. Shots flow, speeches are spoken, and the Josh Allen shrine illuminates the bar in a warm glow. Delilah's is there for the good games and the bad. Providing cheer and comfort when needed."

"Mike Miller turns his whisky bar into everything Bills on game days.  Whenever he gets back home to the Buffalo area he brings Buffalo and Bills memorabilia back with him to use as give aways during commercial breaks in the game.  We all get a chance to get a piece of Buffalo on game days... Mike like to serve his beer cold (typically LaBatts) so first beer ordered that day comes in a Bills koozie. Hand it back up to the bar to let him know you need another.  Mike also loves to keep his microphone handy leading cheers and keeping all of us hyped up. In addition there is the always popular, when you buy round of shots you get the mic for a toast...passed out in Buffalo shot glasses of course!  Delilah's / Mike Miller's Bar is a must go to spot for true watch and cheer on the Bills with true Bill's Mafia fans.  We are so happy we found this place  over 6 years ago after moving to the city. "

We've also learned that Delilah's is know for its extensive Whiskey offerings and holds a Top 10 Best Whiskey bars in the US ranking, with over 800 global selections, including rare independent Scotch single-cask bottlings.

Delilah’s will be celebrating with a Watson’s Chocolate Game Day Package valued at more than $500, filled with hometown favorites to share with fellow Buffalo fans during the October 18 game against Las Vegas.

And because Delilah’s received so many nominations, we’re giving back to the fans! One lucky person who nominated Delilah’s will be selected on game day to receive a Watson’s Buffalo Basket.

Congratulations, Mike and Delilah’s! And to everyone who nominated their favorite Buffalo gathering place, thank you for showing us that no matter where you are, Buffalo is never far away.

Delilah’s is located at 2771 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60614 if you are ever in the area, stop in and say hi to Mike. Go Bills!

See you next year! 💙❤️
