Bud's

Our Restaurant 

A cut above your neighborhood bar

Named in honor of local legend and former owner, Howard “Bud” Allen, La Playa’s newly-restored bar and restaurant is a tribute to this storied, sage community and its lore.

Featuring an inspired cocktail menu that will put your local knowledge to the test, a curated collection of historic memorabilia, and an expanded food menu, Bud’s invites you into Carmel’s visionary — though occasionally-drunken — bohemian past. Carmel, after all, is a beautiful place worth celebrating in all its eccentricity.

Bud's provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all associates and applicants for employment without regard to ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability or genetics. In addition to federal law requirements, La Playa Hotel complies with applicable state and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment in every location in which the company has facilities. This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including recruiting, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation and training.
