12 Fantastic Coffee Cocktails to Knock Back in Portland | Eater Portland

"Tucked in an unassuming little strip mall on 82nd Avenue, the dive bar Buddy’s Lounge may not be the most obvious destination for cocktails, but the recent legislature to allow takeout drinks meant the bar could start serving boozy bubble tea to-go. Most of them are made with tea, but Buddy’s also serves a whiskey and boba take on ca phe sua da, the classic Vietnamese coffee drink. It’s rich, creamy, and sweet, and diners can also order a $3 plate of nachos to qualify for the required food purchase." - Alex Frane

we stopped in on a friday afternoon, and AJ was our bartender. she was amazing!! :) seriously set the vibes for whole place, and she puts LOVE into the drinks she makes- you can taste the difference. i recommend a hennessy lemon drop, or a raspberry kamikaze!!

Very friendly staff, minimal menu but great choices, affordable and very tasty. I love the very creative idea of boozy bubble tea. Their drinks do have a very strong alcohol taste, but if you're fine with that they are very delicious and satisfying. Some of the best tapioca pearls I've ever had in a boba tea.

Buddy’s lives up to its name, a really chill little dive to hang out with buddies, whether you come with your own buddies or not, you’ll be sure to make some! Legit, the bartender AJ was super sweet, funny, and good for a chat. Definitely recommend for a drink after a long day, come chill with AJ and Buddy the Buffalo; she made me a huckleberry lemonade, no joke, 10/10, best drink I’ve ever had.

This place is very interesting. Everyone from staff to customers were friendly. From the time I walked in the bartender A.J greeted me and was attentive and pleasant. I will be coming back. The beer is cold and reasonably priced and the drinks were great!

This is my first time and buddu:s Happy Hour 3-6:00PM bar and lounge on April 8th 2023. I have experience d the best customer service that I can ever imagine. Buddy's has some great ciders and they also have a great chicken nachos. I want to give a high shot out and a 5-star rating to AJ my server and I just want to just put that out there. So if you ever want to come out for a good time, buddy's on 82nd is the place. peace out. Chazz

Buddy’s is a cool, relaxed place to get a drink. And AJ makes a mean margarita! My mom and I frequent this place often. It is very cute inside. The bartenders are always very friendly. :)

Great atmosphere and friendly staff! AJ was our bar tender, she checked in often and was great to talk to. The bar also features a juke box with a crazy wide range of music!

Enjoyed the decor :) Staff was super welcoming & friendly! Not many people on during the evening in the middle of the week beside the local regulars. No more boba :/

Loveee the concept. Milk tea and alcohol, two of my favorite things. But probably best not together. It's exactly how you would imagine it to taste. I had the classic whiskey milk tea and it was not great. Veryyyy sweet too. Although I have to say, it would've been more tolerable to drink if I didn't order a double shot. It took around 20 minutes for the drinks to be prepared and I would suggest ordering ahead on Postmates to be delivered or picked up instead. For the price, I'd say buy yourself a milk tea elsewhere and throw a shot of your fav alcohol in there at home.

Better not waste your time trying to order from this place. They'll accept the order and you'll wait an hour, only to be told you need to substitute another item for everything you ordered and now they are out of everything on the menu. Waste of my time and money, because I can't even cancel the order now without being charged. This is less than 2 hours after they opened at 4pm, the order was placed (and they confirmed it themselves) at 4:58pm. Don't offer a service if you can't actually provide it, and don't confirm an order you can't even fill. We will not bother trying again.

If you're ordering to go you'll have to order food with it as well for permit reasons. We ordered nachos to go for this reason. It was just chips, shredded cheese (unmelted), and ground beef. For drinks we ordered the hokkaido whiskey and the spiked cafe su da. It was underwhelming. To recreate this just order boba outside and add vodka or whiskey. That's essentially what it tasted like. There wasn't much creativity here. Quality overall seemed like anything a college kid would whip up in his/her dorm room.
