High-energy fried chicken and cocktails with generous portions and fun vibes; expect big flavors, occasional waits, and time-limited tables.
Our take
Bucks Bar delivers bold, satisfying chicken and cocktails with strong food quality and genuinely friendly service, making it a solid neighborhood favorite on Hanover Street. However, inconsistent execution during peak times—soggy waffles, variable wing crispiness, delivery delays—and tight seating with strict table limits prevent it from reaching higher ground. Worth visiting for the portions and atmosphere, but expect trade-offs in comfort and reliability when busy.
One caveat: Space can feel cramped and noisy; expect close tables
