Went there almost every night whilst there and always made welcomed by the buddies babes, Laura is a salt of the earth lass also niki❤️hope it keeps going and expands so there's enough room for a dance floor 😁👍❤️
Congratulations Laura and Andrew. Watching the vlogs on Buddies everyone enjoys themselves and good atmosphere. You have both done so well and entertainment is good too.
You've both done exceptionally well with the bar, it really is a lovely friendly place to enjoy a fabulous cocktail or two, can't wait to come back. Congratulations on your deserved success.xx
Congratulations 👏🏻 The restaurant and bar industry is really tough and a lot of long hard hard hours- so glad to hear that you are doing well! There will always be some issues- just the nature of the service industry but you all really give 100% plus 😊
always was if u dont work hard in life you will be left behind im retired now but i worked bloddy hard just want to relax now and get as much sun holidays in before it to late
Hi Laura and Andrew, it’s Darren from London. Congratulations on your first year in your bar. I hope you have many good years to come. Congratulations again.
The Bar is an amazing place to be and thats a huge credit to Laura and her staff. I have been in numerous places all over Tenerife and i have to say Laura is one of the hardest worker. Happy 1 year anniversary on buddies.
Love the bar every time we have been on over the past 12 months , here on the reef ATM and went in last night , staff looked after royally, Jose the magician was awesome, and we dropped off two tubs of haribo cherries this morning . Glad the bar is doing well , it's very hard work , having worked in bars myself it's long nights but very enjoyable, well done to the pair of you 👍🏻👏👏👏👏
Laura you do an amazing job. It doesn't matter how young you are as a boss. It's your ability to do it regardless of age. There are plenty young people who apply to manage and run pubs in the UK by breweries and get a salary for it to live in, well done you, and also andrew. Who also helps when he's needed in the bar 😁
Hi guys congratulations absolutely amazing love watching/following your adventures & ventures really hoping I can travel next year and can get to sample a cocktail or dorada. Well done guys so deserved 👏🎉
Congratulations, looks fabulous, have you looked into getting the paint that is between matt and gloss, you can just wipe when there's marks instead of painting so often. Hope you get the improvements done soon.
Is Laura a part owner in the bar ,if not she should be as she’s the driving force of the bar ! Congratulations all the hard work has paid off , hope you are making lots of profit in the bar !
One year already!! On the wall you said needs cleaning constantly or painting, how about a plastic hand rail? Easy to disinfect with some wipes. Here’s to your 2nd year 🥂🍾
Love the videos. Love the bar. Was in tenerife a week ago for 4 nights at the cleopatra palace. Didn't make it to buddies, but will be back in July and staying in the med palace after watching your video. Will be definitely paying you a visit next time. We did go to pier 8 one night and walk up to bora bora and had the 3 course menu (9.95 now) , Both were brilliant. Thanks for the recommendations and keep the fantastic videos coming. Also the warning of the bracelet sellers was much appreciated. Twice they tried but my wife was on the ball . One asked me the time and I wasn't even wearing a watch....great advice...keep up the good work.?. Cheers Dave
Me and my boyfriend really want to live over there! I use to be a waitress at our family restaurant/bar and buddies would be the BEST job wish I could move over asap for the job 🥲 keep smashing it guys❤
One idea for the tokens, you could glue the old ones and periodically the new ones on the board of the banister on the walk down the stairs to your right
You have both done so well for the first year it was always going to be testing in that year but small steps made to make your own.just a idea for that wall you always touch up does the diy stores not have a slim piece of wood painted blue and put foam and fabric on it anyway well done can’t wait to come back.
Hi Andrew&Laura congratulations on having Buddies bar for 1 year had pleasant visit there in November sure vibe good there in 2025 look forward visiting again then👍
Who makes the decisions? Do you decide together or do you make the decisions? It sounded like Laura didn’t know about the sign change at the beginning she works so hard in that bar too bless her
We were in Buddies this evening and i had a strawberry lemonade and that was the best strawberry lemonade I've EVER had. 👏 Please never change that drink, thats my 2 cents 😂❤
I loved working in the pub game I'm a non drinker don't take drugs I could run the bar with my eyes shut I've ran hotels loads of bars you need to pay good for people to stay wish I could help guys xxxx❤❤❤
Well done both you both work so hard work hard we will see you both in march 2025 can’t wait we love Tenerife we have been coming for years regards William Tracy from Cumbria
Thanks for the update, Andrew & Laura. For the price of a fridge, that size is a good price nothing cheap in the UK neither . I don't think people realise how hard it is to run a business and how much the cost of everything even trade price are expensive. Can u put the film on the walls that you have outside to stop the damage?
An idea for the grubby wall at the top of the stairs could be to add a handrail so that people reach for that rather than the wall to balance themselves once they get up the stairs! 😊
Well done on your 1st year! You both clearly work hard out there....bar work cant be easy anywhere. Have a fab Christmas ⛄🎁🌲all the best for 2025 🎉 love your vlogs! 😊
Congratulations on one year ownership owning your own bar in tenerife buddies bar on your tenerife walking tour for the tenerife vibes andrew and Laura
You should both be so proud of what you have achieved … met Laura when we visited she was lovely ☺️ please don’t listen to the negative comments … you are a Team, both working at different things to give yourselves a better life 🥰
Hi Andrew again. You asked for any recommendations?? The upstairs could do with better lighting as we struggled to read the cocktail menus. Love the whole experience though and we will be back soon - Gary
Really enjoyed this today you must be so proud of yourselves but have 3 questions! What is a speed rail. Also originally you said no getting a licence for live entertainment so what made you change your mind and finally can we see the girl singer sometime? Meanwhile Merry Christmas to you both and a Happy Prosperous New Year xxx❤❤❤
There is a computer that can make drinks people come up to the bar buy a card that they put money on and they scan it and the computer offer all your drinks and it mixes the drinks be good for guests upstairs
If there’s enough space, why don’t you build in a little booth area, doesn’t have to be massive just for two maybe? it’ll stop the wall getting battered with a constant fitting there, and it’ll be cosy in door seating for people? 👀 get some buddies cushions there etc
Well done both of you, keep going the harder you work the luckier you get! Can I make a suggestion for the words on the wall “ a dream is a wish your heart makes” 🥰
Andrew, Do you want to know the way to have the best of everything? Let Laura run the Bar, Let Lisa run Sanasty, and you can stick to your "Hobby" Oh and stop waving your Hands and Arms around when talking..apart from that , Well Done.👍
Congratulations on making it through your first year. Perhaps when talking alterations make the ideas “we” rather than “I” gives perception of joint decisions with Laura. Bars been fab when we’ve came in.👌
You really don’t have to explain yourself, I imagine the staff issues will be ongoing as happy as staff appear to be they’re probably always looking for something better!
Seems like there are a few trolls showing their true colours in the comments. I think you should both be very proud of what you have achieved. Well Done and here's to the next year ahead.
Congratulations. On. One. Year. Ownership. Owning. Your. Own. Bar. In. Tenerife. Buddies. Bar. On. Your. Tenerife. Walking. Tour. For. The. Tenerife. Vibes. Andrew. And. Laura
What about getting someone in from UK to to do work in the bar, I know it might sound extreme, but if you know anyone in the UK and paid cheap flight over and couple nights in your apartment if empty. 😁
Well done, it's not easy facing the public every day and smiling, but you do have the advantage of being in a holiday resort! So most customers will be happy. I'm not sure the comments from your subscribers are helping you, though? They are going to tell you what you want to hear, not really the truth. I can only presume they want to be your friend!! TripAdvisor isn't the best reviews, and these customers are your bread and butter pal, not subscribers blowing sunshine. I don't know if you read your reviews, but there's a common theme, unfortunately, that you seem to want to ignore? Does Laura read them? She needs to and learn. Ignor positive reviews and concentrate and act on the negatives, and your business will be bulletproof. But surly been a businessman you know that? I'm only commenting because I visited your bar in August with my family. It wasn't great, unfortunately, and I did leave a review also. Don't take negativity, as people who get tagged as haters 😅 Take it as encouragement to improve what could be better!!
Congratulations on your first year running buddies , ideas for that wall in bar is either half tile it or the wood panelling they use these days . In Leroy Merlin’s . Very fashionable at the min . Won’t need to get that paint patched up all the time . Any heavy traffic it those things like a feather wall 😃
WAS THER LAST WEEK 4 OF US IT WAS THAT BUSY WE SPENT THE NIGHT IN DISABLED TOILET BET LAURA REMEMBERS US SHOOK YOUR HAND ON WAY OUT GOOD NIGHT LAURA SMASHING ICE ON FLOOR MADE ME JUMP HA HA
Went there almost every night whilst there and always made welcomed by the buddies babes, Laura is a salt of the earth lass also niki❤️hope it keeps going and expands so there's enough room for a dance floor 😁👍❤️
A wee tip, I would get rid of the high tables they're not nice to sit at and make the space look smaller.
Congratulations Laura and Andrew. Watching the vlogs on Buddies everyone enjoys themselves and good atmosphere. You have both done so well and entertainment is good too.
You've both done exceptionally well with the bar, it really is a lovely friendly place to enjoy a fabulous cocktail or two, can't wait to come back. Congratulations on your deserved success.xx

Lovely place ❤cannot wait to go back
Really enjoyed visiting Buddies and delighted to meet Laura who kindly took time for photo and chat
Who makes the decisions? Do you decide together or do you make the decisions? It sounded like Laura didn’t know about the sign change at the beginning she works so hard in that bar too bless her
We both do, I am more on the side of design/refurb/maintainence/social media..🤩
One year anniversary. Bloody hell fire, that flew by! Congratulations to you both.
Props to both of you for your honest hard work. Smash It!
We were in Buddies this evening and i had a strawberry lemonade and that was the best strawberry lemonade I've EVER had. 👏 Please never change that drink, thats my 2 cents 😂❤

Add a strip of natural timber matching stairs at table level on walls that won’t chip ,about 100 mm wide 👍
Looks fabulous, wish I could come 🎉 love watching the vibes through the vlogs. Ps pleeeease take the fridge off the pallet, it could topple 😊
Thanks for the update, Andrew & Laura. For the price of a fridge, that size is a good price nothing cheap in the UK neither . I don't think people realise how hard it is to run a business and how much the cost of everything even trade price are expensive. Can u put the film on the walls that you have outside to stop the damage?
Hi Andrew and Laura we are currently in Buddies have a cheeky cocktail 🎉🎉❤
Well done u two🥃
Definitely the best strawberry daiquiri I’ve ever had and I’ve had many.
An idea for the grubby wall at the top of the stairs could be to add a handrail so that people reach for that rather than the wall to balance themselves once they get up the stairs! 😊
Well done to all you have achieved. Fantastic bar and cocktails and great vlog ❤️
Try scrubbable emulsion. Bit more expensive but hopefully worth it in the long run. Time is money . Well done guys
Well done on your 1st year! You both clearly work hard out there....bar work cant be easy anywhere. Have a fab Christmas ⛄🎁🌲all the best for 2025 🎉 love your vlogs! 😊

Congratulations on your first year...Well done. I was wondering who now looks after the dog? ❤
Definitely going to pop over at some point but Orlando is still calling my name
You guys are utterly brilliant.
Great bar video and great update from Laura
Checker plate on that wall .. you will never regret putting it up.. in silver and will last years
Congratulations, wow one year already. 🎉❤
Think down to laura the success of the bar getting the staff is priority but hopefully you have the right staff and laura works less hours 👍 ❤❤
Really enjoyed this today you must be so proud of yourselves but have 3 questions! What is a speed rail. Also originally you said no getting a licence for live entertainment so what made you change your mind and finally can we see the girl singer sometime? Meanwhile Merry Christmas to you both and a Happy Prosperous New Year xxx❤❤❤
Laure defo lets them have a drink 😂😂😂
Hi Andrew,we're in Buddies at the moment
There is a computer that can make drinks people come up to the bar buy a card that they put money on and they scan it and the computer offer all your drinks and it mixes the drinks be good for guests upstairs
If there’s enough space, why don’t you build in a little booth area, doesn’t have to be massive just for two maybe? it’ll stop the wall getting battered with a constant fitting there, and it’ll be cosy in door seating for people? 👀 get some buddies cushions there etc
Don't take negative comments Andrew you and Laura are doing fantastic ❤
Have they introduced EES in the airport yet. 🤔👍
Congrats to I both 😂😂
we came across a one euro pint in september in tenerife but it was more like a mug it was no pint lol
Guys say hi Maureen please love's you both
Well done both of you, keep going the harder you work the luckier you get! Can I make a suggestion for the words on the wall “ a dream is a wish your heart makes” 🥰
Andrew, Do you want to know the way to have the best of everything? Let Laura run the Bar, Let Lisa run Sanasty, and you can stick to your "Hobby" Oh and stop waving your Hands and Arms around when talking..apart from that , Well Done.👍
Challenge accepted 😉
I can imagine it’s much easier to sell beer and snacks!
Congratulations on making it through your first year. Perhaps when talking alterations make the ideas “we” rather than “I” gives perception of joint decisions with Laura. Bars been fab when we’ve came in.👌
You really don’t have to explain yourself, I imagine the staff issues will be ongoing as happy as staff appear to be they’re probably always looking for something better!

Struggling to get sparks? 🤔 may be a relocatation for me and the Mrs is in order 🤔
Congratulations. On. One. Year. Ownership. Owning. Your. Own. Bar. In. Tenerife. Buddies. Bar. On. Your. Tenerife. Walking. Tour. For. The. Tenerife. Vibes. Andrew. And. Laura
What about getting someone in from UK to to do work in the bar, I know it might sound extreme, but if you know anyone in the UK and paid cheap flight over and couple nights in your apartment if empty. 😁
I don’t think you can take power tools, socket sets and spanners in hand luggage on a Ryanair 😂
Congratulations guys awe the best ❤❤❤xxxx
Great insight to your business, very interesting. Hope you have a great Xmas and very best wishes for 2025
Well done, it's not easy facing the public every day and smiling, but you do have the advantage of being in a holiday resort! So most customers will be happy.

Take it as encouragement to improve what could be better!!
We have found in most euro a pint places it's not even the 5oo mls it's actually 440mls
And 500 ml is still 68 ml short of a pint
Before you had the bar you were promoting all the cheap pint places
Respect for respect ✊ And a personality is vital 😊 And again, working TOGETHER! Is so important ❤
What a fantastic couple very Happy for a very hard working you will go far in all you do lolx always
Most friendly bar in los chris, love the cocktails, still look smart, go most nights when we are in tenerife
@ 3 euro a pint its a steal .here you pay 8 euro for a pint of bud
Congratulations on your first year running buddies , ideas for that wall in bar is either half tile it or the wood panelling they use these days . In Leroy Merlin’s . Very fashionable at the min . Won’t need to get that paint patched up all the time . Any heavy traffic it those things like a feather wall 😃
Well done to Laura and Andrew😊 from Tc and Gal one 😊
