Who knew the best chicken sandwich is at a rock and roll bar in Edinburgh?
Fun vibe, great food and love the rock music from years of the best rock.
Super friendly service from entire staff.
Not so loud you can't talk and enjoy this fun place.
When in Edinburgh skip the pricey hotel lounge and head to Buck's.
We visited Bucks Bar with high expectations of enjoying exceptional fried chicken burgers, and once again, those expectations were effortlessly surpassed.
The service was warm and attentive throughout—special thanks to Daniel for his professionalism and friendly approach. The food was outstanding: perfectly cooked, incredibly juicy fried chicken paired with salt and chilli chips, delivering a truly memorable dining experience.
The team went above and beyond to accommodate us, demonstrating a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. Combined with the excellent quality of the food, this represents remarkable value for money.
We look forward to returning again soon.
Outstanding service, excellent chicken (probably the best I've had in years) and great atmosphere. The food is SOO good and it showed up moments after ordering, hot & fresh. Love this place.
My friend brought me here after she said the chicken was good. Goodness me, she was right. Possibly the best fried chicken I've ever had. The servers Rachel and Leah were super friendly and knowledgeable and made our visit really special. Thanks so much!
Looking for food before going to the Usher Hall. Came across Bucks Bar, never been before so I booked it. Well I was blown away by everything. From walking through the door the staff were very attentive, Sarah showed us to our seat and asked if we had any allergies they should know about, she then came for our drinks order and then while bringing the drinks for our food order. The food arrived and it was delicious, I ordered 3 side as I couldn’t make my mind up, the food was all hot and fresh. Sarah popped back to make sure everyone was ok with the food, she returned a couple of times to see if we needed anymore drinks. I had dessert and that was also lovely, sorry never took a picture. It was so nice to see a mixture of all age groups enjoying the food and atmosphere. The staff are so lovely, friendly and know their job well. I will definitely be back with my family.
