BUDDY'S Houston

"Awesome vibe any day of the week. Good drinks and great bartenders plus some really fun performances and events. Even when I just pop in by myself and don't know anyone there, I never feel awkward or unwelcome. Much love."

"I’m not surprised to see someone else having the same experience I did. I frequented this bar multiple nights throughout the week. Lucid is amazing. Karaoke Tuesdays is starting to take a downwards turn. I use to enjoy going but my experience was similar to Mickey. My name on the list was shuffled around with newer people being add and then completely removed. I haven’t been back! If you like to sing karaoke there several other bar in Montrose that offer it on the same night. I’ve found a new karaoke spot."

"I must preface this with the fact that I am a neurodivergent individual and I have been going to this establishment for the past 5 years, with no issues, but my experience tonight was ATROCIOUS. First, I will start with, the security guard (a tall, wide white man, with tattoos up & down both arms and a few face piercings and tats) who initiated the issue and made sure it persisted, even after I was leaving with people who were diffusing the situation of him yelling at me for NO REASON. I have worked at bars/restaurants for a long time and at no point would my manager encourage us to call the police on people who are nonviolent and clearly not drunk. I also happened to speak with the manager about my business and how he runs his own business, before my encounter with the security guard, and it was a very cordial conversation. Because I am a woman who has dealt with drunk men before, I purposely stayed in view of a security guard because of a man who was a bit pushy and was clearly drunk when I met him. Yet 3 hours later, his bartender friend was still serving him drinks while I was behind the guy giving the bartender the "cut him off signal". The bartender kept the drinks flowing for his friend and then kicked the dude AND ME out of the bar. I was so confused, as far as I was concerned, I was doing both of them a favor. But the arrogant security guard was not listening to me and asking me a bunch of questions yet not interested in engaging with the answers or answering my questions. I had NO desire to be outside with the dude, but the security guard kept insisting I leave with him because he saw us together, even though he also saw me refusing the dude's advances. THIS IS A DANGEROUS MINDSET FOR A SECURITY GUARD WORKING IN A BAR. He (AND the bartender) certainly should have some training and understanding of what drunk behavior is and how to interact with males vs. females, because yes, it is different especially when liquor is involved. As a female & mother, it is important for me to spend my time & money in places that I feel safe in, spaces that will look out for me & protect me against drunks, bullies, & power-stricken people the same way I would do for anyone I witnessed experiencing this madness. Certainly not a "buddy" of mine."

"Cool bar plenty of seating . Its nice that's it's connected to Kiki. Drinks were great and a bigger size that usual. So that's a plus. Only thing is that the fun tunes machine stole my dollar lol. But oh well"
