Bud's at La Playa Hotel is a true gem in Carmel! The bar exudes a classic, old-school vibe with its dim lighting and inviting atmosphere. Their Mezcal cocktail is a must-try, expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. The scent of cedar adds to the ambiance, making it a memorable experience for all senses. For those who prefer a brighter setting, the sunroom provides a lovely alternative. If you're in search of a sophisticated and relaxing evening, Bud's is the...
Great drinks, great views of the bay, attentive service. If you are looking for a bar with a cool vibe, such as brick walls, dimly lit and wood paneled, you'll find it here. If you're looking for a more open and brightly lit place with bay views, you'll find that here too! Overall a great experience and drinks are standard price for a place like this ($18 on average) but they are good! I recommend the Plaiditude and the Writer's Block

The bottom line, GO! The room is nicely decorated with perfect lighting and plenty of space. They serve food and you may need it ;) why? The cocktails are AMAZING! The bartender knows exactly what he is doing. The Old Fashioned, Lemon Drop, Bees Knees, and Hemingway were all done to perfection. I wish I had been staying there to enjoy a few more. This is a must go place when in Carmel. Highly recommended.
