Seaside grows organically, one thing we love about it. Not many know what will happen next but it is a town always in flux, and plans develop and morph...
From Dave: I am extremely pleased to announce that I have just completed the purchase of the Bud & Alley's property. Much thanks to Robert and Daryl Davis for giving me the opportunity to participate in and contribute to the Town of Seaside this past 31 years and for making it possible for me to now be Seaside's newest beachfront land/business owner. I share their vision for the future as much now as I first laid eyes on the visionary plans of Seaside in 1985. In the fall of 2017 we will break ground on the Bud & Alley's enhancement project that will combine Pizza and Taco Bar into one building that will connect to the existing Bud & Alley's operation. We will add 850 square feet to the roof deck, an elevator and bathrooms to service the roof deck. Bud & Alley's will remain open throughout construction except during our normal closing period between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Pizza Bar will also remain open as well as Taco Bar in it's as to be determined temporary form. We are hoping to have construction completed by summer of 2018. This is all so exciting. Thanks to everyone who have supported all of us at Bud & Alley's all these years.
Love it all except for the non-native palms. But, I guess given the fact they already put them in on the north side, not much choice.
Love the way Seaside town is always a work in progress making it better than ever. Congrats Bud & Alley's!
UPDATE BUD & ALLEY'S: For 31 years, Good food, Good People, Good Times. For the record, our upcoming enhancement project will entail tearing down the roadside service building only. The existing Bud & Alley's operation will not be altered and Bud & Alley's will remain open throughout the construction period. We will be building a basement, a single-story kitchen above the basement with Taco Bar on the west side and Pizza Bar on the east side. An open-air bar along the roadside will be placed in between Taco and Pizza bar. We will be adding 850 ft.² on the north end of the roof deck and the existing roof deck will get a new metal roof and a new floor. The roof deck will have upstairs bathrooms and an elevator. During construction the Taco Bar will be moved to the north building of the pizza bar. So essentially all restaurants will be remaining open throughout the construction for your continued enjoyment. Following construction all 3 restaurant operations will nicely fit on the footprint of my recently acquired property. - @Dave Rauschkolb
Update from Dave: Some of you may have noticed there is some activity at Bud and Alley’s. This is what’s happening. We are very excited to be getting our enhancement project underway. This beautiful design was created by architect, Dhiru Thadani. Bud and Alley’s will be closed until December 26 and will be open until we close for seasonal maintenance next year right after Thanksgiving of 2019. Pizza Bar will remain open year-round. Taco bar is being moved to the old raw and juicy location right next to Pizza Bar. Taco bar will open there he first week of February. The building along the roadside in front of Bud and Alley‘s will be demolished next week to make way for the new permanent location for taco bar. The new location for taco bar will have a bar along the roadside with seating all around it. As a part of that construction process 850 ft.² will be added to the existing roof deck on the northside. There will be a tower entrance added to the Roof deck that will include an elevator and stairs. 10 brand new bathrooms will be installed on the western edge of Bud and Alley’s including two upstairs bathrooms for the roof deck. Bud and alleys will operate continuously independent of the construction happening along the roadside and will be unaffected operationally by the enhancement project. The construction in the enhancement project is expected to take nine months. Finally, everyone may be rest assured that all of the existing areas of Bud and Alley‘s will remain exactly the same with the exception of the existing roof deck will get a new roof and a new floor. The new roof will go on the roof deck this time next year, Right after Thanksgiving 2019.
Things are moving fast at Bud & Alley's in Seaside - the first floor restaurant, bar, and outdoor seating are open for breakfast lunch and dinner. See more photos > Go have a great meal and walk around the building to see the exciting developments.
The new roof deck has been completed and is now open. The rest of the project is ongoing and will finish later this year.
