It was the 1930s and Six Mile and Conant was like any street corner in Detroit… people walking to the market, neighbors helping neighbors, and friends meeting at the local gathering spot now known as Buddy’s. Buddy’s existed as a “blind pig,” skirting the State and Federal laws that governed the on-site sale and usage of alcohol. Booze was available there. The owner at the time was August “Gus” Guerra.

This was my first experience and I enjoyed every bit of it all. The service was very exceptional. I didn’t get the bartender name but the woman that was at the bar was amazing when it came to making the drinks. My waitress Britney was awesome, she was very down to earth and respectful and she was very attentive to the needs of me and my girlfriends when it came to our order. I would definitely recommend this restaurant too everyone. The ambience was beautiful and it had a great vibe.
