"Our Norfolk State University Washington, D.C. Alumni Chapter recently hosted our Membership Drive at Buddy’s Bar, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Grant who is one of the owners, was incredibly hospitable and made sure our group felt right at home. The bartenders were friendly, attentive, and kept the energy high all evening. Our members absolutely loved the food, the atmosphere (which I knew they would!), and our custom signature drink was a big hit! The entire team at Buddy’s made our event smooth, fun, and memorable. We’re already looking forward to hosting another Spartan event here in the future. Highly recommend Buddy’s Bar for any gathering — great food, great vibes, and even better people! 💚💛"

"I love this bar and my favorite bartender, Brenda is here. The food is amazing hot and on time or cold at home. If there is a festival, and I know there are a few throughout the year, an early seat is essential. The avocado Caesar is my absolute favorite, but I also like the old bay wings. The loaded fries with crab or beef with the gumbo is my fall combo. The Modern Interpretation of Luxury has consistently been my favorite drink. For the colder months my favorite combo is the loaded fries with crab and the gumbo."

"a sports bar with great food. I visit every other month. I recommend the chicken sandwich and burger. I get the fish n chips occasionally. The bisque and the gumbo are very good and a nice alternative to sandwiches. The sides are best in class. the greens and the mac n cheese are my favorites. They are "modern" takes on classic southern foods. They are priced higher than some might expect for a side, but they retain their value; they are worth it. I'm not much a drinker, stilI, i like the cocktails i've had and the mocktails are thoughtful. Bar service is better than table service. The staff is always respectful. The space is cozy and events work well. The patio is very good for larger groups, but plan ahead and check the calendar for Michigan game crowds."

"Stop in today on a Sunday with my beautiful lady. I was immediately greeted which was nice. My server/bartender Shanita was great. I even met the owner Grant.. very friendly people here. I ordered the crab cake sandwich, fries and Mac n cheese 🧀. Everything was good, my girl loved the food and the music was a vibe. I would definitely recommend visiting this spot if you I the area. Although, we both doing dry January the drink prices are very reasonable compared to most places in DC. Had a great time."

"Went for music bingo and it was shockingly good. I really liked the dj. I wish I got her handle but it was too long for me to keep up. I had the fried fish and it was pretty perfect and didn't have a bunch of grease which was great. I can tell they put care into cleaning their grease instead of cutting corners. The drinks were great as well. I think they have the musical bingo only twice a week. The servers were great as well. Brought me a chair from outside almost as soon as I said I needed another chair. Food came out quick as well. I didn't see any reason to complain"
