Buddy's is an old Northeastern type corner bar stuck in The Fan section of Richmond.Bars come and go in Richmond. Not many have staying power. Confiscatory ABC laws does not make bar ownership attractive and profitable to many in Virginia.
Somehow Buddy's has found a way to survive along with keeping it's old neighborhood feel.
Not much has changed at Buddy's in the last 25years.
A single bar with wooden booths along the outer wall. A few flat screens which broadcasts mostly sports in the evening.
Decent pub fare from the kitchen. Always a hustle and bustle in the evenings.
Buddy's is well off the Virginia Commonwealth campus, which is located at the other end of The Fan.
The clientele is a mix of local Fan residence and upscale suburbanites from the West End of the city.
Most have a connection with Buddy's from the past.
It is one of the few places I will take out of town visitors.
