Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bucks Bar Hanover Street in Edinburgh is celebrated for its "amazing" food and "huge portions," alongside a "friendly and attentive" staff. Guests love the vibrant "rock and roll" atmosphere, extensive hot sauce selection, and live acoustic music on Saturdays. The "epic" milkshakes and cocktails are a delightful treat. Highly recommended!

    Great service, excellent food, very generous portion sizes and an impressive selection of hot sauces on "the hot rack". The milkshakes are epic, they're basically a meal themselves. As it was Saturday, there was live accoustic music on from 9pm which seemed to fit the ambience and wasn't ridiculously loud. Highly recommended.
