⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buddy Bar was an absolute vibe! The Caipirinhas were refreshing, delicious and definitely nice and strong. 😉👌🏾 It is the perfect place to start your night out on the Santa Maria strip after dinner. The live music kicks off at 10 pm and the atmosphere gets busy very quickly, creating such a fun energy. A definite must visit, even if you only stop by once or twice during your stay.

Took a couple of drinks. Kinda long wait time on the drinks and the staff is not that into smiling or do anything more then put the glass on the table. But the atmosphere was okej and overall worth a visit to take a drink.

The best place for a strong (cheap) front in Sal. Great atmosphere and life music is a grand!
