Buddha Beer Bar

I was a regular here but Buddha seems to be in trouble. Wings have very little meat, beers are expensive and happy hour specials don't offer much relief. Prices going up, quality of food going down. Outclassed by locksmith bar, across the street, in almost every way. It wasn't like this 5 years ago. Hope they can turn it around.

My go to spot for lunch break during work hours. Nice and friendly staff, lots of TVs to enjoy the news or a football game and very clean. They have an outdoor space to eat when the weather permits and they usually have great music playing. Their buffalo wings and quesadillas are the bomb!

Great environment!! Delicious food,What a great place to eat... food and drink, Staff members are great! Ten stars.

Their tap list is amazing (attached is from june 2018)! Good craft beer place in an otherwise spotty area for options. Good options for wings if you like a variety of sauces. Typical pub fare otherwise and solid food. Their trivia night is also solid. They should bring back the lunch beer and food special though, disappointed to see it go!

Edit: I’m amending this and adding that they have dropped most of their craft serving sizes to 8oz, and increased the prices. This is getting ridiculous. They still have an amazing tap list, but you’ll cut your bill in half if you head down to Dive 106 or any of the other craft beer bars in Manhattan. $8-9 for an 8oz pour is four times what you pay in for a can. I’d love to be able to get to this place more often but they’re pricing themselves out of business. Also, I agree with the other posts, the wait staff are surly and slow.

This place has so much going for it and I really want to like it more than I do. They have 25 or so good craft brews on tap, a great selection of whiskeys, and a good wine list. The food - especially the tacos - is pretty good. The problem is the room and sometimes - okay, usually - the service. The room is big and full of hard surfaces, so it's really loud even when it isn't crowded, and there are a lot of TVs. Like, way too many TVs for one room. The table service is slow and every time I've been there there's been some kind of mistake in our order - maybe because it's so loud that the waitstaff can't hear what we're ordering.
To be honest, the burgers are quite good, and so are the cajun fries, and everything else we had. With a little more attention to service, I think this place could be great! But in the meantime, I can't say I'm totally comfortable bringing family back here for lunch or dinner due to the lack of service, which is a bummer.
