Buds Tavern — Restaurant in Loudon

I talked about buds fondly for the last 20 years, for the next 20 I won’t….The older woman with the short blonde/ white hair gets the worst bartender of the century award! She was beyond RUDE! I was back in sweetwater for the first time in 21 years with my husband and 2 kids. I drove past buds 3 times as we drove around Sw to show them things I remembered, where I lived, memories etc. after supper we planned to go back to buds for a cold beer. There were still 10 people out back dressed in orange tailgating for the game. I walked in and said can I order 2 beers and we just stand out back w our family and have them I haven’t been here in 20 years we are just here for tonight, last time I was here Monty was the bar tender etc.etc. I was greeted with no, no, no, “ they are done out back “ so rude, & unkind. Really disappointed I didn’t get to enjoy a cold beer at buds 20 years later...

This place is ridonkulous! Jay has the sexiest badonkadonk in the Southeastern Tennessee regional area. Service with a smile;) Ask for Bud when you spend over 15 min checking out the service assets. PS Don't pay any mind to ol girl Tiffany, she's just upset because she comes every Saturday and sits in the same stool with the same tired boots on and hates on everything and everyone,...
