info_outlineA lot has changed for Buddy Finethy since Bill interviewed him in 2018. Buddy bought out his Hawg and Ale partners, his friend Big John took over the menu (and added soul and love) and Buddy found musicians to create a unique soundscape.
All of these elements result in a unique Marietta community.
COVID pushed them to the brink, but with the help of the community and some PPP loans, they are coming back even stronger.
Check out Buddy and Big John at the Hawg & Ale Smokehouse 25 Powder Springs Street.
