Bucks Bar - Grindlay Street Edinburgh

Walk down Grindlay Street towards the Lyceum and you'll spot Bucks—a place that's somehow become the neighbourhood's best-kept secret despite being packed most nights. The interior's got that lived-in bar aesthetic that makes you want to settle in with something strong, and the kitchen takes their burgers and wings seriously enough that you'll understand why locals keep coming back. It's the kind of spot where you might pop in for one drink and emerge three hours later, having made friends with the bartender and demolishing a plate of proper American grub. Prices won't break the bank either, which is increasingly rare round these parts.
