“ My Buddy's is Drag Show with other events held at place. DRAG BINGO, the food and drinks are great too. Just returned to another great show. Buddy's Drag Shows was awesome. Go with friends good profromances . ”
“ Went in for the first time with some friends for drag bingo and it was awesome !! The servers were so nice, the food was really good, and the vibes were immaculate. If you're looking to get drunk and have a good time, I suggest coming for their events ! ”
“ Looking for food one late night after a concert, I found Buddy's (the owner Brian kept the kitchen open for us)! This is an incredibly fun bar, and the food is amazing for bar food. I then was told it was a Buffalo Bills (& Packers Bar), so I had to come back! Having been here twice now, this place is an amazing spot. The owner, Brian, genuinely cares and wants to make everyone happy and has custom food and drink menus for the sporting events. Also, lots of free celebratory drinks here while watching and listening to the games! Pro Tip: If you're a Bills fan who wants to enjoy the game with others while also having your personal space (not too crowded like the official bills bars in Chicago), then THIS is the place for you. Hope to see many of you here! ”
“ Get the guacamole! You can tell they give you like two full avocados in ya little bowl, and the chips are made fresh to order. Also excellent drag shows. ”
“ Could not recommend this place enough. Whether you want to just pop in to grab a beer/food and watch a game, or participate/see they're amazing events. From karaoke to drag shows, you will absolutely have a blast here. Great staff, cozy atmosphere and an overall positive vibe. ”
“ Amazing food and strong specialty drinks! The staff was also kind and attentive. The drag show was definitely one of the best I've been to in the city. Hidden treasure that you must check out!! ”
“ Incredibly fun bar with great energy and friendly patrons. I've been to a lot of drag shows, but never have I ever been so impressed. Very diverse and talented group of drag Kings and Queens who are dedicated to their craft. The fact that some of the performers are classically trained really took the show up several notches. They really get the audience involved in the show, so you stay engaged, and on designated nights, the audience gets to cast a vote for their favorite performer. They have decent bar food, kitchen stays open pretty late, the drinks are great, and it's a nice touch that they offer specials named after the performers! It's a great date night or friends night out option. I'll definitely be a repeat customer. They have paid street parking out front, no issues with it being over run and there's an on site ATM and QR codes for tipping in case you forgot case to tip the acts. ”
“ This place is an absolute blast on Thursday nights. They have Drag Queen bingo where you can win prizes and drag queens perform throughout the night. Food is decent for bar food but you’re not coming here for the food. I simply adore all the queens who work here. Excellent customer service BTW by servers and management. If you’re having a birthday or bachelorette party, do it here. Street parking is easy. ”
