Buck’s Bar Southside is a chicken restaurant and bar at 1021 Cathcart Road in Glasgow. Less than two minutes from Mount Florida station and a short walk from Hampden Park, it is particularly well placed for match days and concerts. Split level seating, booths, large tables and bar seats create room for both small visits and groups.
Buttermilk fried chicken is the kitchen’s defining speciality, served in burgers, on plates and alongside waffles. Different sauces and toppings move from sweet and smoky to sharply spicy, giving diners control over the intensity. Sides and sharing portions reinforce the generous, American influenced style.
Non-gluten containing menu information is available, though guests with allergies should still discuss ingredients, fryers and cross contact with the team. Lunch offers provide a concise weekday option, while takeaway and delivery extend the food beyond the dining room. Under eighteens are welcome until the stated evening cut-off.
Cocktails and straightforward bar drinks match the restaurant’s rock and roll mood, with regular offers and live music adding to the atmosphere. Sweet and savoury waffles make weekend brunch another natural reason to visit. Buck’s Bar Southside combines indulgent chicken, lively drinks and a convenient location for Glasgow’s southside events.
