Buffalo Wild Wings Opening Day on Jan 29

Buffalo Wild Wings, America’s well-loved restaurant famous for its wings, beer and immersive sports viewing experience, announces its arrival on Philippine shores with nothing less than “Free Wings For A Year” to the first 100 guests who will line up during its opening day on January 29 at Estancia Mall, Capitol Commons in Pasig City.

Be the first of the 100 guests to receive 52 coupons that can be exchanged for snack size servings of Buffalo Wild Wing’s award-winning New York-style chicken wings for the rest of the year. Meanwhile, those who won’t make the cut can still win free wings as Buffalo Wild Wings is giving away coupons for the rest of the day to lucky customers.

Buffalo Wild Wings was founded in Ohio 30 years ago by Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery, who both have a passion for wings, beer, and sports. Its New York-style chicken wings, handspun in 18 varieties of signature sauces and seasonings with sensational flavors ranging from Sweet BBQ to Blazin’, have won recognitions and awards through the years.

Aside from serving wings and boldly-flavored American comfort food, Buffalo Wild Wings also boasts of its extensive selection of local and imported beers and state-of-the-art wall-to-wall HD flat-screen TVs that capture the energy of a sports stadium. Thus, expect to experience Buffalo Wild Wings as one of the coolest restaurants where guests are always welcome to dine, chill out and relax while rooting for their favorite games.

Who doesn’t want free wings for a year? If you are a sports-loving Filipino foodie, line up and be counted!

Buffalo Wild Wings’ foray in the Philippines is made possible by The Bistro Group of

Restaurants, one of the country’s biggest restaurant operators and a pioneer in the local casual dining segment.
