Bucks Bar - St Andrews

You'll find yourself on one of St Andrews' most characterful streets, where Bucks has carved out a reputation for doing the fundamentals brilliantly. The space feels lived-in rather than designed—the kind of place where locals outnumber students, which says something in this town. Food leans into quality ingredients and unfussy execution: think seasonal specials alongside reliable favourites, paired with a drinks list that takes itself seriously without becoming exhausting. It's the sort of venue that works equally well for a casual weeknight pint or when you actually want to eat properly.
