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.

It was my family’s first time there and we were absolutely thrilled. The restaurant itself is beautiful, the cocktails were divine and the food was incredible. We were so fortunate to have Ava taking care of us - she’s knowledgeable, personable, approachable, fun and still professional. She’s was an amazing addition to our special evening and a big plus for your establishment. We can’t wait to come back!

This restaurant always does a great job. Valentine’s Day is always busy so the service was a bit slower than normal but still very good. Food was excellent.
