Restaurant | Glasgow | Scotland | United Kingdom
Authentic American comfort food
The "Buck's Bar" in Glasgow, Scotland, is a lively rock 'n' roll restaurant specializing in authentic American comfort food and is part of a small but growing chain that now includes several locations in Glasgow and Edinburgh. It opened its first branch in 2017 and quickly made a name for itself, not only through its cuisine but also its distinctive atmosphere. The interior is a mix of rustic charm and rock aesthetics—red walls, plenty of wood, and decor reminiscent of an American diner with a rebellious twist. Live bands and rock 'n' roll DJs regularly provide entertainment, making the experience special, especially for music lovers.

The culinary focus is on fried chicken, offered in various variations. The Buttermilk Fried Chicken is particularly highlighted, served in a crispy buttermilk batter, appreciated for its juicy texture and intense flavor. Another highlight is the Nashville Hot Chicken, which offers a bold flavor combination with spicy chili oil seasoning and pickles—definitely not for the faint-hearted, but a favorite among guests who enjoy their food spicy. In addition to chicken, there are creative burgers like the Salt’n’Chilli Chicken Burger, which combines Asian flavors with Scottish flair, as well as vegetarian alternatives like the Southern Fried Jackfruit Patty, which also delights non-meat fans.

Side dishes and sauces play an equally important role. The hand-cut fries are a classic, while the Mac’n’Cheese is often praised as a creamy, cheesy addition. Guests can choose from a variety of homemade sauces, including the Buck’s 25 BBQ sauce, which brings sweet-smoky notes, or the spicy Hot Honey Ranch for an extra kick. For dessert, the Waffles with Nutella and strawberries tempt diners—a sweet, uncomplicated treat that perfectly complements a relaxed evening. The drink menu is equally impressive: alongside a wide selection of bourbon and local beers, there are creative cocktails like the Buck Cherry, a mix of Jack Daniel’s, amaretto, and cherry, which is both sweet and strong.
