Buck’s Bar West Regent Street is the original branch of a Glasgow restaurant group built around chicken, liquor and rock and roll. Opened in 2016, it sits within easy reach of the city’s main stations and combines a casual dining room with the energy of a late night bar. The music and bold decor make it a lively choice for groups and informal meals.
Fried chicken is the speciality, served in burgers, wings and other substantial combinations with a broad range of seasonings and sauces. The kitchen uses rapeseed oil for frying and offers halloumi and side dishes alongside the core chicken selection. Guests seeking halal chicken or choices without gluten containing ingredients should ask the venue about current availability and handling.
An express lunch provides a shorter daytime option, while takeaway and delivery make the same food available outside the restaurant. Generous portions and sharable sides suit groups, and under eighteens are permitted until the venue’s stated evening cutoff. The menu is direct and indulgent, with flavour and texture taking priority over formality.
Cocktails, beer and everyday drinks reinforce the bar side of the identity, with regular promotions adding to its accessible feel. Live music on Saturdays brings the rock and roll theme into the room rather than leaving it as decoration. Buck’s West Regent Street remains the clearest expression of the brand’s original combination of fried chicken and nightlife.
