Buddy's Bud Co
About Buddy's Bud Co
Sitting in the Historic South Hill neighborhood on South Limestone, Buddy's Bud Co offers a downtown Lexington shopping option with a small-shop personality and unconventional hours. The shop is closed Monday and Sunday, opens at 4 PM Tuesday through Saturday, and stays open until 10 PM most evenings and until 1 AM on Friday and Saturday for late-night shoppers. Reviews are mixed, with some customers calling out fulfillment delays on pickup orders and others praising the owner's warm welcome, expertise, and the resident shop dog as standout reasons to return. The 4.4-star average across a smaller review pool reflects that range of experiences. The menu typically covers hemp-derived cannabinoid products legal under Kentucky law. Visitors should bring a valid ID and consider calling ahead for specific products, since the small footprint means inventory can move quickly during peak weekend hours.

Customer Reviews
I ordered from the Lexington KY location. My husband went to pick up our order 2 hours after the shop opened, since he was in the area and we had not heard from them yet. It was 5:30pm on Saturday, and the store had a closed sign on the door, which was locked. I called, and the highest man I've ever heard answered the phone. I asked if they were open and he said yes. My husband went back, and the closed sign was still on the door. He knocked and the very high employee answered the door. He was hanging out with his girlfriend on the couch. She went to the back while the employee helped my husband. The guy even said he was wasted. I really like what I read about the business and their practices, but this was not it. I want to support local businesses, and will give Buddy's another chance, but I think they need to make some changes to the employee handbook. LoL. Not trying to harsh someone's fun, but to pretend you're closed on a saturday evening to get trashed with your girlfriend while on the clock is wild.
Came in late last night and had a great experience. Owner is extremely kind and knows his stuff. I'll be back for sure. Oh and theres a dog, does it get better than that?
I love this place. The vibes, the products, and the puppy are all excellent! Buddy’s is my go-to for a mellow moment.
Quality products and great service. Nick, the owner, has gone out of his way to be helpful.
This place is great! First off you are greeted by the best boy ever... Buddy!!! I'll be back just to see him for sure. I was guided to the perfect purchase by asking questions and having my budtender recommend the best products. Gummies and drinks were both spot on and definitely helped what was bothering me. Do yourself a favor and just go check it out. You won't be disappointed.
