Andrew could you put some clear Perspex over your heavy trafficked areas on the walls to protect your paint work .
Get Laura on a five day week it will reward you and her enjoying watching all your TH-cam walks and your bar will definitely be dropping by at some point wishing your all the best for your future 👍
Honestly, been to Buddies a few times and the only thing i noticed was the chipped paintwork on the back wall next to the fan. You guys work hard to keep the bar in great shape and the cocktails are as good as anything we have had. Logan and Holly are great too. Best of luck with everything.
Hi Andrew and Laura , you doing a fantastic job , Andrew we seen you last year , hopefully we meet laura this year , we coming in August , you both are lovely . Julie , Karl , Sophie xx
Beware of burn out especially Laura doing full time six days a week.
I’ve been doing 7 days a week for 7 years 😂
@@TheKnightStrider🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Belter
@@TheKnightStrider Same applies to you then. I did a similar thing when I was younger doing seven days for about ten years so talking through experience. All I’m saying is beware.
Speaking from experience. Life is for living, not surviving. Take care of yourselves. ❤
@@EllieS461 Exactly.
Loved seeing this vlog. Reality of owning a bar. I found it very therapeutic to watch you paint . I love painting!!
My ocd kicked in with the fan at the top of the stairs, that needs a Laura clean!! ❤
You guys are an inspiration.
Amazing! Xxxxx
She's a real grafter that girl doing a great job keeping that bar tiptop keep up the good work girl
Loving this video, it is very good lots of different things to give you more experience of the country
Well done guys for all your hard work and the laughs with garvey xx
Guys the walls need a filler called easy fill it’s the best filler you can buy quick dry and easy to sand
What about a clear perspect on wall chair hight
The bar looks gorgeous well done 🤗
Great bar update. Love the merch. we are coming out in July and will definitely be popping in for a drink or two
You guys work hard. I wish you all the best!
Doing a great job laura and Andrew work so hard don't forget take some time out and relax ❤❤❤
The bar still looks fab and a good job done Andrew. 🥰☀️🥰xxx
Andrew and Laura thank you for sharing this information. It gives us the what’s up if anyone of your viewers might want to own a bar or cafe.❤❤❤❤
Love the cups!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Laura is too cute!!!!!! You both are fabulous 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Great bar update, love the merch , did you get parasols for the roof terrace?
Just have to keep on top of ur Bar maintenance Andrew well done to you both xxx ❤❤
Evening, enjoying this vlog.you guys are very hardworking,,impressive.you must have squeezed this in before the boat trip.amazing guys
Yes we are 😊
Great vlog Andrew and Laura ,you have done a terrific job well done the pair of you .take care will drop in for a cocktail next time we’re over take care xxxx
Laura is beautiful. Great job guys, cannot wait to visit for the first time this summer.
Can't wait to visit. Six months to wait...
I have to congratulate you and Laura for all you do - you both work so hard just make sure you look after yourselves, Laura is looking tired xx
Love the new merch
Thanks 😊
Same suitcases in primark back home Andrew xxx great prices aswell ❤❤
Love the videos! One tip , maybe use a spaygun to touch-up the paint, it's fast and you see less difference with the rest of the wall.
Thanks for the tip!
Last there in 2018 just down the road at Summerland appts in calle Boston. Will hopefully back to Tenerife at the end of the year , and will definitely visit Buddies.
Can t wait to try the cocktails
Pva glue works well too over the paint it will help prevent scratches longer
To save your wall andrew screw a piece of wood along the wall where the chairs are scratching along the line and when that gets scratched it's just the strip of wood u have to touch up...and it will stop people getting close r to the walls..looking good
Great idea to keep on top of the paintwork etc Andrew .Less to do in the long run if just left .
Andrew u are a great painter you always do ur dad's apartments aswell to keep them so nice for when ur dad's rent's them out it's a liverpool thing we like everything clean and fresh xxx ❤❤
It is all cool Andrew. Nothing BAD
Amazing, bar is best of Tenerife )
Have u considered about putting the same material that you got outside with your logo and applying inside too just up to the bar and stairs area ?
Mate... Best ever video this one. Loved Makro, used to go there years ago, but it is all Costco now....and - of course - you are almost adequate with a paint brush
Your a lovely couple you have always worked hard Andrew and Laura so just carry on what you have always been doing ❤❤
Hiya we visited in march 1st time in Tenerife as well loved buddies it was amazing 😊 you didn't have your merchandise then can you buy in online at all or just from the bar 😊
Hello mate am coming over on the 18th of July for a week . Been watching you for couple of weeks now and have taking some good notes down about places . Am wondering is you bar going to be open when I’m there if so how far from la pinta hotel is it ? Great channel mate and I must say you have had me in stitches a few time 😂
Hi from england, loved watching your bar vlog today im the same as running my bar here, so much wear and tear 😢 been busy just done a party at weekend 70 people plus wow our feet lol, love watching ❤❤❤
Put a clear lacker or varnish over the paint on rails will prevent scratches
I am at the moment in time. Watching U guys. At the Tandoori Hut. On Fathers day 2 year's ago. I can't stop laughing. RESPECT & LOVE. Can see where U. Get ur incredible sense of humour from Andrew.
Enjoyed visiting your bar last week, great company and drinks were spot on.
Could consider some knightsrider social media content on the walls?
I have a lot of cards for macro Costco, et cetera, and they can be used any store anywhere in the world
If paint scratches off easily, the paint either does not have enough binder (too powdery), or does not stick to the undercoat or primer. I would use a scraper or sandpaper to see which layer is not sticking. An uneven surface also does not give a good impression.
Hi Andrew buddies looks great also the merch😂😂
Hey, thanks!
I see Makro in Europe is part of the German Metro Cash and Carry. We have a few Makros in South Africa, owned by Walmart in the US. Same idea, wholesale to business, but anyone can get a card, and they also do online sales and delivery.
And some rubber strips for the back of the chairs so that they don't scratch the walls.
Hi Andrew and Laura.. We were in The Lochness while we were on holiday last week, and I noticed they had a Knightstrider cocktail in there
Not my original, they just use my name
@@TheKnightStrider Ok, I did wonder that 👍
Looking sweet we’ll visit when we’re there in august!
For the stickers you could print them and sandwich them in a magnetic acrylic frame saves the pickers and you replacing them😂
Drink stuff do amazing glassware I don’t know about delivery to TF ..
Here is one for your bar, it’s a special sangria. It’s a treble brandy, treble gin, treble vermouth and a treble triple sec, half a bottle of red wine, 7 tablespoons of sugar. For a heavy drink fresh orange or a slight lighter drink use fresh orange in a smaller amount and top up with orange Fanta. It actually tastes better if you use cheap brands for the spirits. Even if you don’t use it in the bar try yourself you will love it.
Hi Andrew and Laura have you got a website we’re I can buy the buddies magnet and other stuff as I want to buy the magnets
Only available in the bar at the moment sorry
Regarding Merch - like the mugs, but i reckon some personalised Buddies bar engraved tankards and cocktail glasses, and t-shirts would sell really well too!
Also, the wall at the top of the stairs - you should have a "I've had a great time at Buddies Bar - Los Cristianos " logo / motif, as a kind of Instagram snap location - may help draw in a few more people?
Hi Andrew
Coming back in September with my boyfriend and bringing my dad will be his first ever holiday but so excited to come buddies 🍹🤍
I don’t know if you have Etsy over there but they have some beautiful cocktail glasses
If you love what you’re doing, every day is a holiday 😊
Great vlog Andrew n Laura, tunnocks are amazing, has Jose left, hasn’t these last 6 months gone soooo quick. Love the merch. Andrew you remind me of my husband, oh look at this steph, then next minute he is looking at something else lol 😂
I need to come tenerife and help push the trolley around and add a few items which i have to agree would be tunnocks tea cakes and haribos. Have you thought about a USB lighter we have one and we just charge it up
Stainless panels just above table height would look good easy to clean
Poor Laura needs a holiday I think, shopping on your day off 😂.. Buddies looks fab.. how about some of that stick on fake tile it’s hard wearing comes in all styles and panels.. or even tile where high traffic is, and varnish on the banister where people grab 😊
You should put the tunnock teacakes in the freezer, awesome
I can't stand paper straws...lol.... I love your videos off the bar and off you walking around all the resorts In Tenerife....I'm addicted.... Great way to get the afternoon in....cheers guys 🫰🍻🍺
Hope youve got plenty of cups & magnets for when we come over at the end of july 😊
Coming in August
Omg big difference. Well done you two 😊 amazing
Flying back out to Tenerife only just left there last week I’m back in a week or two after I finalise work here in the U.K. and get things up to scratch are you going to be at the bar ! Where is the bar? By the way
Would a clear plastic back splash back cover that mark on the wall, so you don,t have to keep touching it up.
Does it look as nice though?
Hi both instead of having to repaint the wall wherever the table and chairs rub and damage your walls
Maybe a rub rail fitted to wall
Would in the long run save you a lot of time
Thanks for all your tips on Florida they have been a great help for our upcoming trip.. I'll share a pro painting tip with you . use a 4inch roller when touching up. But If you pay for my flights I'll come and do it in day for you???
Absolutely loving this vlog on catch-up. Tunnocks tea cakes are a must, always got a box in my fridge 😀.
can you youse the English Makro card in tenerife
Can't you put some basic ceramic tiles around the sink are as a splash back. Easy to clean and hygenic
Possibly yes
Hey, you two need to start designing the Buddies Christmas ornaments. The family as cartoon characters?
Will definitely pop in when we're over in Sept, if that's a loud shirt...u ain't seen mine yet 🤔😉
Sorry but watching you paint Andrew & Laura commentating has made me chuckle so much 😂😂
A see Perspex mentioned ,
Good vlog. Can you do a financial breakdown of the bar operations after 6 months of being fully open?
We wont be divulging that sort of private information sorry 😊
@@TheKnightStrider no worries I understand.
*merch*
Kids plastic cup and straw, souvenir cocktail cup where you pay that bit extra on top.of you cocktail, canvas bag
hello andrew and laura great bar how much are your lovely mugs.
€20 with a free shot
OMG Andrew and suitcase 😂😂😂
Lol
Tunnocks are sooo addictive Andrew 😋
Veryyy
Well done Andrew & Laura. You have a super bar. You work so hard & deserve all your success. xx
Get the skulls glasses for October.
They be mint for Halloween
Maybe
@@TheKnightStrider see how many are gone in the night
Table stickers put pva glue over the stickers they can't be picked off
Looking fantastic, clean and fresh. No one sees the behind the scenes hard work. You deserve every success xx
Andrew why don't you put clear plastic panels on the bottom half the walls
Maybe
You should try free little bowls of salted popcorn , makes people drink more
I have a UK makro card - be interesting to know if it would work there 😂
tunnocks teacakes !! good lad , i can doo a box in one sitting easy lol
Great STOCK ROOM. HAVE U GOT THE KEY.
I dont understand
@@TheKnightStrider great party room..Meant to say hope it is locked up.
Andrew you painting 😂 by the way you missed a bit 😂
With your bar merch! What about for a laugh also memories PIN BADGE OR FRIDGE MAGNETS OR A BUDDIES PHOTO FRAME OR POST CARDS??
Are you pleased you opened the bar. Positives and negatives?
Of course we are 😊 wouldnt have done it otherwise! We knew the work involved..
@@TheKnightStrider sorry didn’t mean to ask if the question upset you. Just interested in how it all works for you
The question is if they can do food and gadgets at that low price why can't the other shops...
The two of you ❤️ never stop working 💪 fair play, great vlog 👍 👏 👌 ❤
Trawl the charity shops, (Los Cris and Costa Silencio) for glasses.. 👍
Need them to be matching
@@TheKnightStrider A good few are, but I understand you need matching glasses. Plenty of pint one's, can't have enough of them..
You are both an inspiration xx
Have Laura's mum and Dad been to see ur amazing Bar yet ❤❤
Yes they've been in a vlog from the bar.
