Great little hidden gem filled with good ol’ regulars and newbies stopping in for a cold one. It is beer only but they’re always cold. They don’t have food but there’s usually a table with free snacks for the taking. Carolyn, Kathy and Kelly are always happy to see ya and serve up a smile and a beer. Don’t let the outside fool you, stop and see for yourself. Tell them Mustache Mike sent you!

I talked about buds fondly for the last 20 years, for the next 20 I won’t….The older woman with the short blonde/ white hair gets the worst bartender of the century award! She was beyond RUDE! I was back in sweetwater for the first time in 21 years with my husband and 2 kids. I drove past buds 3 times as we drove around Sw to show them things I remembered, where I lived, memories etc. after supper we planned to go back to buds for a cold beer. There were still 10 people out back dressed in orange tailgating for the game. I walked in and said can I order 2 beers and we just stand out back w our family and have them I haven’t been here in 20 years we are just here for tonight, last time I was here Monty was the bar tender etc.etc. I was greeted with no, no, no, “ they are done out back “ so rude, & unkind. Really disappointed I didn’t get to enjoy a cold beer at buds 20 years later with my husband.

Great little hole in the wall bar. Only serves beer. Would be really nice if they got the air cleaner working. It is hard to handle all the cigarette smoke, but with a lack of places to choose from, we deal with it. They have a dart board and a pool table.

This place is ridonkulous! Jay has the sexiest badonkadonk in the Southeastern Tennessee regional area. Service with a smile;) Ask for Bud when you spend over 15 min checking out the service assets. PS Don’t pay any mind to ol girl Tiffany, she’s just upset because she comes every Saturday and sits in the same stool with the same tired boots on and hates on everything and everyone, even Jay & Bud.

Seems to be very local people not friendly to outsiders, not very welcoming and I am a good tipper and a friendly person but was treated like N interloper so I didn’t stay long!
