"C'mon down to Bucks" (That's the theme song!)
Bucks used to be THE SPOT when I turned 21, which was about ten years ago now. And surprisingly, when I was home this last summer it seems the crowd had returned and it was a cool place to be again.
I always liked the vibe of Bucks. Occasionally, you have your fair-share of 21-year olds that could kill the vibe anywhere but it seems to be a mid-20's-mid-30's bar and the nice thing is that everyone seems to get along. There's a casino area with blackjack and pulltabs and a couple bars upstairs and plenty of cocktail waitresses to keep your night moving along. There's a little dance floor in the middle of all the action and the music is usually a pretty good mix of everything. Thankfully it's not strictly a country bar but they play enough country to make it fun and so little rap that it makes the bar enjoyable. They seem to always play Alabama's "Mountain Music" which is great because I like to air fiddle across the dance floor when I'm there.
Bucks is a fun place. I will definitely stop back next time I'm home. -

This is a pretty fun bar with a lot of space and an energetic, young crowd - even on weeknights. It's definitely a college drinking atmosphere, so if that's not your thing (or if you're over 35) don't even bother. The drinks are cheap and the staff is friendly, and the DJs are always making sure patrons have a good time. Some attractive ladies definitely come here, so keep that in mind.
My chief complaint is that they do NOT play enough country to call themselves a country bar. It's at least half pop...and even some hip hop. I'm okay with a little pop or top 40 stuff interspersed with my country (especially at a younger place like this. I get it.) But when you abruptly transition from Boot Scootin' Boogie to something by Notorious BIG, you lose me. I'm excited to try out Cadillac Ranch this Thursday, I hope it will be a more authentic country experience. -

My memories of this place involved having my id to get in denied, and then (after getting my passport) just sitting inside, with lousy music playing, and low quality drinks being drunk. In fact, I remember the drinks coming in test tubes. Yipee.
