When you walk into Buds on the Bay you immediately know you’re going to want to come back. Built in the late 1800s as a private residence, the building that now houses Buds still retains many of its original features. The downstairs pub, with its wooden floors, exposed brick, and grand staircase is a cozy place to meet friends for a meal or a drink. The upstairs dining room, in contrast, is flooded with light from its many windows, making you feel like you’re outside even when you’re not. Regardless of where you choose to sit, you’ll be made to feel welcome.
