My sister and I went to Buddy's to meet up with friends. From the moment we arrived we were treated like friends by the owners Jackie & Malcolm. Had a great night and returned a few nights later when Shane (the 'lovely, lovely' Shane as one of our friends named him) was working. Shane was helpful and friendly and again... More

Wow, what a fantastic bar. On our 2 week holiday we spent every night but 1 in here, relaxing in a lovely atmosphere, good prices and range of drinks and the bar owners have a great taste in music too which isn't too loud. I loved looking at all the great pictures and memorabilia on the walls and wasn't forced... More

We were greeted by a friendly bar man named Shane who we came to rely on for local knowledge, he recommended some great things to do locally which were all fantastic. The bar it's self was comfortable with great music being played in the background. The range of... More

Just returned from holiday with my girlfriend Andrea. We visited Buddy's bar in Plaza Ole every night. The atmosphere was fab, mainly due to the staff. In particular, Jackie, who went out of her way to make you feel welcome. The drinks are very reasonable and the biggest Jack Daniels measures I have ever had. You need to visit this... More
