When you read all the reviews about this place being friendly, ya gotta go and see for yourself. I can confirm this is one of the friendliest bars in town. We did a random drop-in for a drink and stayed for hours. Bartenders are great, patrons are great. Cool lil dive bar. We'll be back

Karaoke night on Sunday. Really fun and non pretentious. Didn't order food, don't think they offer it.

It's a great little down home place with a house band on Wednesday and live music on the weekends.

Possibly North Austin’s friendliest dive bar, Buddy’s Place mixes traditional bar entertainment with good drinks and a fun atmosphere. Getting to Buddy’s is easy as they have a designated parking area out back. Once parked you’re greeted by their patio area where there is a door for entry into the main bar. They are dog friendly, a very big plus considering most don’t allow dogs at all. The bar itself is a bit divey with a domino and pool tables setup in the main area. The patrons are all very welcoming as are the workers, it definitely gives you a warm feeling to be there. We ordered 3 mixed drinks, which were all solid and the total came out to $18. Can’t beat that price up north.

One of the biggest highlights was the live music in the back. They have live music consistently throughout the week so you can always catch a performance. It is very easy to pass time in this bar between the music, games, and just good company overall. We didn’t have a neighborhood bar yet but this place might just be the answer to that (a lot of that has to do with how comfortable the patrons and workers make you feel).

A viby and historic spot where you can catch some great live music, hang out with your friends on the back patio or make new ones at the bar.

The last true dive bar! My boyfriend and I went, on Tuesday, to a new Texas two-step class that is being held there. We only had soft drinks but the bar itself has so much charm and the bartender was a sweetheart. The dance instructor, whose name is Russ, was so much fun to learn with. Very casual and very laid back. They have darts, slots and live music to enjoy after a certain time. Very chill, fun vibes, if you want a quick drink or if you want a new watering hole without a lot of fuss or nonsense. Good service, good vibe, great new dancing!

What a great little dive bar. Really friendly patrons and good musicians on the night I went. At 43, I was probably one of the youngest in the bar at the time I was there. But that is awesome. I hear they do a fish fry and other events. I will be back.
