    Ep1. Buck's Bar - Michael Bergson
    May 30 2025
    In this episode of Glasgow Business Stories, we sit down with Michael Bergson, the Managing Director behind Buck’s Bar — the rock’n’roll bar chain that’s become a Glasgow institution. Known for its legendary buttermilk fried chicken, Nashville heat, bold cocktails and bourbon, Buck’s isn’t just a bar — it’s a full-blown experience.

    Michael takes us back to the early days: navigating a launch during the credit crunch, flyering the streets, and a game-changing restaurant review from Tam Cowan. He shares how one Instagram post from Shania Twain sent shockwaves through the brand, how “Buckdown” queues formed during lockdown, and why creating an atmosphere people feel is at the heart of his vision.

    From hospitality hustle to brand-building brilliance — this is a story of grit, instinct, and creating the kind of place people queue for.
