Frequently asked questions

  • Fair question! So it’s pretty simple, when you arrive at Buddy’s one of our staff will set you up at the counter with a Buddy’s card which will then give you access to the drinks wall. Once you’ve got your Buddy’s card you’re all set! grab a glass, place your card in the wall and start pouring your own beer, wine or cocktails!

  • Nope! As our beer, cider and seltzers are charged by the millimetre you technically could load a few dollars and pour yourself a small serve however for a full schooner it’s around 9-10 bucks and a taster pour of wine is at about 5 bucks. The card itself also doesn’t cost any money, you only pay for the drinks themselves.

  • When you arrive our staff will give you a price guide to help you decide what you’d like to put on your card and because of this most manage to run out the balance. However if you do have leftovers, you can keep your card for next time as the credit on your card lasts 12 months. Alternatively, because our beer, cider and seltzer is charged by the millimetre, if you have a random amount like $2.83 leftover you can place your card in the wall and pour until the card runs out and have a final couple of sips before you go.

  • For sure! You’re welcome to keep the card for the next time you come back to Buddy’s otherwise we also have a box at the exit that you can place your card into when you’re on your way out.

  • Absolutely! We have a range of wines and cocktails as well as cider and seltzer all on the wall. We also have a bar to make you your favourite classics like a G&T or vodka lime soda.

  • We sure do. If you make your way to under the stairs you will find our Kombucha taps which you can access using a Buddy’s card. At the counter we’ve also got a Non-Alc beer and various soft drinks and juices.

  • We sure do :)

    We have a full menu brought to you by the Rub-A-Dub seasoning team. Our current staff fave is the lamb backstrap but you have to try the chicken ribs if you haven’t already indulged ;)

    We also have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options too :)
