"Cozy, chill, and beautifully designed, this casual wine bar is an ideal place for a date over a refreshing wine cocktail. Buddy also has a full rotating food menu that’s both fancy and funky. We’re talking walnut levain bread with pumpkin miso butter and apricot mustarda, golden beets with pickled grapes , and a hearty mortadella sandwich that will probably inspire you to sink into the comfy banquette and linger until closing time. This is one of our favorite places to meet up with friends for an hour to discuss culturally relevant things right now. " - Ricky Rodriguez, Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway
