Keybank Center Vegan Options 2024 (Buffalo Sabres)

Trying to gather the vegan options at KeyBank Center, home of the Buffalo Sabres, has proven to be harder than it probably should be.

We’ll keep reaching out, but in the meantime, we do have the policies you need to know if you’re thinking about just bringing your own food to the arena.

We also have suggestions for two vegan-friendly locations close to the arena where you can grab some food before or after the game.
