Bartender was rude. Laughing it up with friends eating take out food by the bar. When it came to taking my drink order her smile faded. It's a personal party pad for local elderly drunks. no fun.

Great dive bar! Noisy, loud, and reasonably priced beers...... Checks all of the boxes!

Great bartender, small place with very friendly clientele
Small hole in the wall bar with great service and low beer prices. Very clean and friendly.

Nothing fancy but a really fun spot to enjoy a cold drink. Welcoming locals and fun trivia.

Great local bar with cheap drinks and trivia running all night long.

This is the place at Kure Beach where "everybody knows your name" and the friendships are strong. The reason for my most recent was the Retirement Party for a local guy: one of the Awesome bartenders contacted some of the regulars and we put on a great celebration! Our other Rock Star Bartender was serving Cold beer, there was music on the jukebox, shooting pool - sounds like a typical bar?. Nah- it's better- it's Bud&Joe's!

I’ve been going to Bud & Joes for over 20 years. It’s always a stop (several times) when vacationing. If you want a good ole dive bar it’s awesome!!!
Great staff. I love the Atmosphere.
Atmosphere: 5
