    I hate to do this, as I have worked in hospitality my whole life almost and I do want to add the place and food were great. Though, the girl who served us made our whole experience horrid. She was in such a bad mood, huffing and face tripping if we asked for anything or asked a question. At one point she rolled her eyes when I tried to get her attention. My family wanted to leave as she made us ALL feel so uncomfortable. We were scared to ask her anything. My family were Dutch and needed to ask things out of lack of understanding and the girl was snappy, unpleasant and actually rude. I was shocked as I had chosen the venue and we were celebrating my cousins 30th and that one server made us so uncomfortable and unhappy to be there. We wont go back out of fear she serves us again!
    Glasgow - Bucks Bar SouthsideResponded on October 5, 2026
    Hi Sarah, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry that your cousins 30th birthday celebrations was affected by the service you recieved. The attitude and behaviour being described does not reflect the standards we provide at Buck's Bar and we completely understand why yourself and your family felt uncomfortable and disappointed. Every guest should feel comfortable when asking our staff questions and we are sorry that this was not the case for you. Please accept our sincerest apologies to you and your family. We would be greatful to have an opportunity to rectify your experiance and I have sent you an email in hopes of resolving this situation . Once again we are truly sorry and thank you for bringing this to our attention. All the best, Louise
