    We loved this little bar! The bartender was so welcoming and fun. We didn't eat, but enjoyed some drinks. A place with lots of character and charm, but you can actually hear what your friends are saying.

    Very few locations carry Sinatra ... enjoy

    Great new add to the Arcade Alley area. This a place for both locals and out-of-towners looking for a more real Nashville saloon pub. What a great atmosphere inside - friendly owners behind the bar, great country music and a wide beer and liquor selection (JD Sinatra!) They have limited food but you can bring in food from other Arcade businesses. Buddy's is open every day of the year and offer a 10% discount for locals Come on in and enjoy!!

    5/5 - A Nashville Gem You Don't Want to Miss! If you find yourself wandering through Nashville's Arcade Alley, do yourself a favor and stop into Buddy's -- the kind of bar that feels like stumbling onto a local secret. First off, order the Dickel & Dew. Trust me. Mountain Dew mixed with George Dickel bourbon shouldn't work as well as it does, but Buddy's has perfected it. It's smooth, sweet, and just dangerous enough to remind you you're in Music City. The vibe? Pure old-school country. You'll hear classics rolling through the speakers--just the right mix of nostalgia and twang. It's the perfect soundtrack for unwinding after a long day or kicking off a night out downtown. And the FOOD... holy smokes. The Slutty Joe sloppy joes are the messy, delicious comfort food you didn't know you needed. Loaded, flavorful, and unapologetically sloppy -- exactly the way a Joe should be. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is laid-back, and the whole place gives off that "everyone's welcome here" local bar energy. If you want a break from the overly polished spots and crave something real, flavorful, and full of character, Buddy's is your stop. I'll definitely be back for another Dickel & Dew.

    Excellent honkey tonk away from all the craziness. Can't recommended enough. Great drinks and their sloppy Joe is top tier

    Love this place

    Amazing experience! We were there the night after we lost Dolly Parton. The music, the tributes to…read moreher and singing her songs was unforgettable to be a part of remembering and honoring a true legend and inspiring singer and song writer. Watching 2 debuts was also great to witness their success making it to the Opry stage!

    We stopped by the Grand Ole Opry over Labor Day weekend while I was in Nashville with some friends…read morefor a football game. The Opry is one of those places I have been to several times over the years, and it was great getting to come back and enjoy it again with friends. I have seen some amazing artists perform here over the years, including Garth Brooks, Carrie Underwood, Dierks Bentley, and Brad Paisley. There is something special about being inside the Opry and knowing how many legendary country artists have stood on that stage before you. It really is one of those Nashville places that feels like it is part of the history of country music. This visit was a little different because we were not there specifically for a concert. We were in town for the football game and spent part of the weekend exploring Nashville with friends. We stopped by the Opry, walked around, took some pictures, and just enjoyed being there. It was a great way to spend some time at one of the most recognizable places in Nashville. Even after seeing some incredible shows here over the years, the Grand Ole Opry still has that same special feeling. There is so much history packed into the place, and you can really appreciate how important it has been to country music. We had a great time stopping by during our Nashville trip. Whether you are seeing a show or just visiting the area and taking in the history, I definitely recommend making the Grand Ole Opry part of your Nashville experience. It is always a great stop for me, and this visit with my friends was another memorable one.
