Bud's Tavern

"This Rustic venue is off the beaten path in Youngsville, NC located just outside of Wake Forest. If you’re looking for a break from chain restaurants and bars in the city this is just the answer. With a truly friendly atmosphere the staff and patrons are welcoming. The night I was there, the annual Christmas tree burning was in full swing. A great way to get rid of all those Xmas trees and who really needs a reason to have a big old fashioned bonfire! Plenty of Oooo’s and Ahhh’s going on and people just enjoying each other’s company."

"Was here last night for the first time, I came from Camden SC to visit family. This was definitely a great place to relax and have a great tasting burger while a live band played.. people were incredibly friendly and overall atmosphere was really awesome. I recommend this place for sure. Oh.. and I'll definitely go again when I'm visiting again."

"This is a I LOVE thus Bar kind of place. It's in the woods, people are friendly, staff is amazing and the drinks are cold. Not a huge selection of beer but it's enough if that makes sense and the food is phenomenal and they run specials. $1 wings Monday, 1.25 taco Tuesday, 1/2 price Burger Wed etc plus they have darts, pool tables and a huge outdoor hang out area with a fire pit and of course bands. Check out their Facebook for what's going on and get a crispy bacon BLT its the best."

"Awesome little (sort of) hidden away tavern just over the line from Wake County in Franklin County. Great people, great prices, really good burgers and dogs at reasonable prices!! Definitely coming back!! And a live band this Sunday!"

"Absolutely a lot of fun. We went while there was live music and man do the people pack in there. And outside they were doing their annual Christmas tree burn. Basically a bonfire where people bring the done Christmas trees and toss them on the fire. Awesome. I ended up getting the Best Burger with Seasoned Fries. Really good. And very reasonably priced. It really was a lot of fun."
