Buddy's — Restaurant in Arcola

My wife and I were very excited to try Buddy's. We had been taking a tour of Southeast Saskatchewan and heard about Buddy's and decided check it out. We loved the rustic staircase we had to climb to reach the bar and restaurant. The first thing you notice is the beautiful wooden bar. Then you notice the rustic feel of the restaurant. The service however was not very pleasant. The server who was clearly busy doing other things, such as cooking, cleaning tables and the bank drop never seemed happy we were there.

Buddy’s Pub in the High House. This bar is family friendly and has a great atmosphere. Beautifully designed and decorated, it was built in 1906 and was renovated into a pub and restaurant in the 1990’s. It boasts one of the longest bars in western Canada. Built of local brick, in a version of the Queen Anne style, the “High House” or “Opera House” is a registered historical site.

I spent a good portion of my knoshing on ribs and onion rings wandering around and taking in all the details. A super friendly place with a great local vibe. And that long bar is inviting to sit and have a cool drink of your favourite libation. Highly...
