Bucks Bar St Andrews

What's on the menu

Fried chicken is the main event: buttermilk-fried, or Nashville hot if you want heat. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available. At the bar there are cocktails, bourbon, beer and wine, and the whole place leans into a rock'n'roll look and soundtrack. Portions are generous and the menu is built for sharing, so it works for a hungry group as well as a quick plate at the counter.

A new name on an old site

Bucks is a small Scottish group with bars in Edinburgh and Glasgow. In St Andrews it took over the Murray Place premises that had been Ziggy's, a rock-themed restaurant that traded for 42 years, so the street keeps its tradition of burgers-and-guitars dining. The bar is owned by Michael Bergson.

When to go

It suits a relaxed evening, a birthday or a group meal after a round of golf, and dress is casual. Murray Place runs between North Street and The Scores, so you are a couple of minutes from the seafront, the Aquarium and the West Sands. Larger groups can book online for up to 20 people. Seating is a mix of counter tops and regular tables, and cards are accepted.
