Buddy's Corral reviews
5It’s a fun time always friendly I couldn’t ask for a better place to work
Super friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Service with a smile. Karaoke was great, they worked us right in the rotation. Cute little stage to perform on. Solid selection of alcohol. Safe location close to all of the action. Great for a fun Saturday night.
Fun place to unwind after work or go for a drink on the weekend. Karaoke all weekend and Wednesday nights. Check it out!
The drinks are reasonably priced. Friendly atmosphere for the LGBTQ. Karaoke on Friday nights with current and classic songs. I recommend is looking for a relaxing time.
When I first moved to Iowa from Texas I found this place to be my haven. I met bar staff and people that I truly called friends. It was a welcome surprise coming to the midwest. That was until I met the owner, buddy. When I walked into this bar it was like the sitcom "cheers" friendly people and staff that knew your name. The owner however, I found out, is on a multiple of medications. Or so was the excuse that individuals said for him being a bigot for not wanting to shake my hand! Whatever the excuse, when someone who cherishes a place comes to the realization that the owner cares nothing about anything but himself and you come to the realization that a man of color is worthless of a handshake! It puts life into perspective. 2 days ago I would have recommended this place to my family, friends, and the love of my life! But I hope you are like me and know that when someone, buddy, is so incapable of a simple gesture and looks down to you to the point that the good bar staff run outside to find out what's wrong and to justify this man's actions is why I will never go in again. I don't write this to be a pariah but because I am so disappointed in thinking that for a moment that I found a place that I was accepted. How was I stunned with the hard truth. Make the decision for yourself and remember who you are supporting each and every time you buy a drink in that bar. Thank you for reading.
