I now see what all the bad reviews are about. The first time I came, I was overcharged by a guy named Caleb. He added extra money to his tip. I gave it one more shot and the second time was worse. It was the same guy, Caleb. I asked for a bloody mary and he said "oh no we don't have that. Or actually, we do have that drink but I don't feel like making it." How odd and lazy. He must have connections with the owners, cause he definitely wasn't hired for his bartending abilities or people skills. After he finally gave in to making it, he started blasting his music so loud you couldn't hear the person next to you talking. Even though they have AMI here. They will play what they like. Not what the customer pays for. They definitely are all about forget the customer and do as they please. No thanks. I will pay extra to avoid this type of unprofessional behavior. Steer clear of here if you are looking for good customer service. When it comes to chill vibes, definitely check out Leroy's, Sozial Haus or Das Peach Haus for a fun time with professional service. I am not sure how this place stays open, and anytime I drive by the parking lot is empty. Looks like it could be a fun spot if they upped their game and hired better staff. read more

Absolutely ZERO STARS if I could. Went tonight with my friend group for my best friends birthday around 12:00a as our last stop of the night. Once we arrived we were immediately looked up and down from the 2 bouncers working tonight, and they proceeded to tell my, might I add, Hispanic friend that she was not allowed into the bar because she "displayed public intoxication". My friend is pregnant and had so clearly not had any drinks tonight, so we believe she was absolutely racially profiled. We are disgusted with this establishment and I want to spread the word and let others be aware do not spend your money here. read more

0 Star If I could give this place zero stars, I would. We stopped by Buc's in Fredericksburg to celebrate my sister's 26th birthday after being invited in with free drink tickets. We were completely sober, and I was on crutches but still made the effort to go inside. My husband was denied a drink because he forgot his physical ID and only had a work permit. While ID policies are understandable, the bartender was rude and told him he could not remain on the property. She then refused to serve my sister, falsely claiming she was "stumbling," even though she was sober and simply dancing. To make matters worse, people were smoking cigarettes inside, making the place smell unpleasant. We intended to spend money and bring business to this bar, but instead felt disrespected and unwelcome. We left immediately and will not be returning. read more

0 stars if I could've. The DJ is disgusting. After not being able to do karaoke at another bar in town, we CALLED Buc's beforehand to ask if they were doing karaoke and they said yes. We came and played pool for a bit waiting for karaoke to start. After being there for 1.5 hours, we decided to ask the DJ when karaoke started. We asked politely, and he was the rudest most disrespectful person. Nothing we did warranted that disgusting attitude after CALLING to make sure they were doing karaoke. We then were kicked out for asking and "questioning" why it hadn't started. DO NOT come here. Insanely disgusting establishment!!!!!!!! read more

Unnecessarily strict & rude at door, sober friend got denied entry for tripping over her shoe, no chance to even take a second opinion from a manager or other supervisor. Not coming here again. read more

WARNING - AVOID THIS PLACE! Never been treated so disrespectful in my life. We were denied access and we called an uber. While waiting for our uber the bouncer and bartender came out yelling at us to leave which I tried to explain that is what we are doing. Our Uber showed up as we got in the uber they called the cops who were obviously waiting around the corner. The cops made us get out of the uber. The bouncer then falsified his statement to police saying I pushed him (I was not intoxicated and never touched him). Read the reviews for past year, this seems to be an ongoing issue with this place. read more

We didn't want to believe the reviews, but they're true. The bouncer will find any excuse not to let you in and say it's because you're inebriated, even when you're not. And he'll be an absolute jerk about it. I've never seen anything like it. Save your time and your money and go to one of the many other great spots in town. read more

DJ is so creepy and accepting Venmo's to play songs and then announcing it on the microphone.

Forget the menu - they only served pizza. Forget draft beer - they didn't have anything on tap. Oh - and the place was full of smokers inside the bar. read more

Did not acknowledge us when we walked in even thou there was only 2 other customers in the whole establishment. Went down to the seating area bartender didn't come check on us until 10 minutes later only to tell us they aren't serving food at that time and that we aren't supposed to sit in the seating area only at the bar. No signs to tell us either of those things. read more

Good karaoke spot, not fussy or overrun with woo-woo girls. They could really use a platform for the singer but the sound system is good and selection is pretty well up to date. Staff were protective of their spot "I know what I've got, no low ballers" attitude was appropriate since I know they have their share of tourists. So don't act like a tourist, save that for the other karaoke bar in town. read more

Great DJ loved the bartenders thirsty Thursday was so fun girls weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again Jason, Bo and crew did an amazing job with the crawfish tonight. I just drove 8 hrs from South Padre to get here. Absolutely the best!! Can't wait till the next time. read more

Had a great time at this place. Friendly staff, pool tables and ping pong. You can't go wrong!

I'm a local and do NOT recommend this bar. Went on New Year's Eve with a group of friends and had problems with the bouncer or the "door man." My friend was accepted into the bar was in for 5 minutes then walked outside to get fresh air. Never bought a drink at the bar. When she tried coming back in she was denied entry. I asked the bouncer why if she was just carded 5 minutes earlier was she not allowed back in and he said "because she was walking funny". Ridiculous and ruined the night read more

My boyfriend and I are in town to see the elephants and soak up some local culture. We decided to go out Saturday night for drinks and music, after being let down by the types of people "partying" on Main St, we ended up at Buc's. It has not disappointed, the staff is friendly, the music is rockin, the drinks are fantastic, and the place is a fun variety of patrons! Thanks, Buc's! read more

Advertised food and karaoke. Had neither. The one star was for the bartender Crystal. She was pleasant and poured a respectable drink.

Five stars for views! WARNING: LGBT not welcome here. I figure that it's better to know in advance... read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I've never been more disrespected by a person working the front door before. We came out of town for a bachelorette party and heard this place was fun and they wouldn't let us in because my friend fixed her heel and Bo said she was too drunk even though she was completely coherent and walking. If you come to Fredericksburg for a bachelorette party DO NOT COME HERE! read more

Wouldn't let us in because I broke my nail. The "bouncer" wouldn't let us in and then called my friend a bitch. The manager said that was fine and the conversation with us was over. read more

Worst dining experience of my life. Hair in food. Terrible waiter. He made a joke about veterans. So disrespectful. FIRE BRAD!

Went there last night because are in town for the eclipse and the atmosphere was great! There was a great choice on things to order to eat. My personal favorite was their pizzas. A person in my party had the beef fajita tacos and they were delicious. The staff said the person who cooked made the beef using a sous vide... definitely upscale for a small bar in central Texas. I'd recommend it for anyone with a group or a stop on a "date night" The bar staff was really nice and the drinks were top notch too. read more

I love how all the workers are extremely friendly. I was visiting from out of town and stopped by two nights in a row because I enjoyed the environment so much. They have drink specials, karaoke, pool and a good dj. read more

Had an amazing time at Buc's!!!! The bartender was super welcoming and friendly. Great place to dance and do karaoke!! Would definitely recommend this place for a nightcap!!!!! read more

I love wine...but I still need some bourbon when it's all said and done! Buc's was great...lots of fun people to talk to and Kelly was a great bartender! They have pool tables (I suck) and tv's to catch the game...it was a great time! They will ask for ID even if you're 80 so don't be shocked (or a jerk) read more

Do not go! worse club ever! Most uptight group ever. Friends got in trouble for dancing in high heels, took them off got in trouble for no shoes. carding people over 50. no fun club read more

Me and my husband came into town for a birthday getaway and stumbled across this bar. TOMMY was our bartender and he was super polite, attentive and had such great personality super cheerful we couldn't help but be happy around him. We had good conversation with him he's so down to earth! He made our night ! When we visit we're definitely coming back here in hopes of him being our bartender again ! read more

Bo at the front door would not let one girl in our party in bc she wobbled while trying to fix her high heel on her foot (if you're a girl you understand). He was very rude and unprofessional. As a bartender myself, it was ridiculous how he handled the situation. read more

To the management as well as the owner/owners of this establishment . Unless you want a lawsuit on your hands. I strongly suggest you educate your bouncers on the rights of service animals,per ADA and Federal law regardless if you have an open kitchen or not YOU CAN NOT REFUSE SOME ONE WITH A MEDICAL ALERT SERVICE DOG ENTRANCE INTO A PUBLIC RESTAURANT THAT IS CALLED DISCRIMINATION! To make it easier for you i have included the following government links below: https://gov.texas.gov/.../disabilities/assistance_animals... https://www.ada.gov/.../service-animals-2010-requirements/ I promise you next time if I visit your establishment and one of your bouncers or any of your staff approach me aggressively again regarding my medical service dog, my response will be call the police, and then I will be contacting my lawyer and I'll be seeing you in court. Respectfully educate your staff and do better. I ended up having a full blown attack and almost had to go to the ER thanks to your rude employee. I look forward to reading your reply, perhaps you can help me understand why this situation was necessary. Because it should have never happened. read more

wish i could put no stars at all - i was told at the door after i was asked for my id (i am 68 years old and my buddy is 61) that we looked like we were "having too good of a time" and were not permitted to even enter the bar...I was not slurring or stumbling or close to being drunk nor was my buddy. The "door man" didn't suggest we take an Uber home or threaten to call the police if we got back in our SUV and drove away DUI, he was just interested in getting us off the property. First time that has ever happened to me...and I've been in bar joints around the world for forty years now.... I've read several other reviews along the same age discrimination lines. Hey Mr. Buc - if you don't want to serve older people just post a sign that says "no one under 21 or over 40 allowed in this club!". I may need to check with a local lawyer about an age discrimination suit just to put a check on this type of behavior by business owners.. discrimination should not be tolerated in any form....and to think that this bar is located in a town occupied by mostly senior citizens. Here an idea - change the name to "Buc U!! Bar &Grill" our motto is: "Our staff is not satisfied until you are not satisfied!!" Read the one star reviews below and get a taste of how you'll be served...or probably not... read more

Horrible!!! My ( Black) group of ten arrived at this establishment , as we got out the car and began to talk amongst ourselves I couldn't help but notice the door man go grab another doorman as they began roping off the entrance. I walk ahead of the majority of the group and ask how long the wait was. The disgusting man said... "they couldn't let us in." I say what do you mean? He says your party is too large. I said okay, can you split us up? He said no. They have a full house and wouldn't be letting anyone else in. Keep in mind. As we are talking two groups of four or five people walk out. He still wouldn't allow us in. As we talk a cop pulls up and one of the doorman goes to his vehicle and comes back and just stands behind the other main door guy and listens. By this time a small group of six ( Caucasian) was up and said hey to us and that they were excited to see us there. I said told the lady we couldn't get in. They won't allow us in. She said what do you mean? The gentleman changes his tone and tell her that they have a full house. Another group of five people walk out. So by this time everyone is like hey! 12-15 people have walked out can our group of ten get in. He proceeded to tell us we can now get in big our party of ten would have to stay at the picnic table that sits six whole the Caucasian group gets the comfy patio Funiture. Of course the Caucasian lady was excited, she walked past the door man with no mask, showed no Id and sits down. I was the second of our group to walk in. He flipped my Id over multiple times and reminds me to keep my mask on at all times. Also said we weren't allowed to move from our area to go to the bar, that the waitress would bring us a our stuff. I still walk in.... look at the lady from outside sitting WITH NO MASK ON! She asks me why do I have mines on. I told her what he'd stated. She said who cares, I didn't even show him my id, when he asked I walked right past him.... I felt humiliated! We needed up leaving after trying to make a complaint to the mgr. I'm surprised after looking at all of these reviews that this place is still open. Look through the reviews before wasting your time. I felt like I was in an episode of "Get Out" read more

Don't waste your time here. the DJ was rude, the vibe was boring, the drinks weren't even good. We decided to move our party elsewhere.

Would not recommend to anyone ever. Tried to go with a bachelorette party. We waited outside for over an hour because of "COVID restrictions"; however, the staff let in every local around us because they "wanted us to be able to sit together" (more people than the number of our party).Then after a heated discussion between the staff, we were told we couldn't get in because of a drop in private party..... Clearly no communication between the staff. If you are visiting town do NOT visit this gross bar. read more

Stopped in here to check out a local off of main street bar. We ordered some mac n cheese balls and gator bites. Absolutely amazing. The place was pretty slow maybe 5 people in there. The service was ok they probably could tell we weren't locals . This place is definitely worth trying though read more

Buc's Bar & Grill - Mac N Cheese balls - New American Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

See all

This is THE "local" hangout bar in Fredericksburg. Located about 2 blocks off of main, Buc's has pool tables and other games. Gets very crowded and loud as the evening progresses. Buc's is probably not the type of establishment a typical F*Burg visitor might seek out; however, it is one of three places in town that is open late (closes at 2am; expect for the new Whataburger that everyone is so excited about) and the kitchen serves adequate bar fare until about midnight. Their cheeseburger and choice of regular or curly fries hit the spot for late night munchies. If you desire a small retreat from all of the touristy charm that F*Burg has to offer stop by Buc's. Get to know the people who actually live and work in town, enjoy a few drinks, and maybe grab a bite. I say you haven't really been somewhere until you've eaten the food...and met the locals. Note: Smoking bar. read more

Buc's Bar & Grill - New American Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

Buc's is one of the few places that stays open late in town. So if you're looking for a extra 90 min for a drink this is the place. We found this place after going to a show at Luckenbach. It seems to have a decent crowd of younger people there, with a DJ and dancing. However, they will announce last call at 130am ( which is normal) & pick up your drinks at 1:40am ( unusual), while you're waiting to get your ya. closed. The crazy part is, 30 seconds after I received my final beer, a bouncer attempted to take my beer; it was 1:40am. That is a full 20 minutes prior to when TABC requires alcohol to stop being served. If you question the staff on the reason they are attempting to take your beverage 20 min early, they will scream like a pre-teen who is grounded on homecoming night. This lead to 2 other young bouncers attempting to walk me out. Even though I was not intoxicated, I was threatened with a criminal trespass by the young lady that was the manager. Thankfully the Gillespie County sheriff deputies were hanging outside the bar and witnessed it all. The Sargent deputy in duty told me, it sounds like you know the laws & enforcements of such laws. The deputies & I talked for a few minutes while the staff continually yelled for me to get off the property. Which at that point, I told the Sarg.. if you want to give me a formal written criminal trespass warning, I'll be happy to give my ID and politely wait. He laughed and said that's not necessary. All the deputies shook my hand and then I left. 20+ yrs in the bar/club industry.. I always remember the bad experiences, not the countless pros who keep you wanting to visit more. Shout out to the Gillespie County Sheriff ‍department for being professionals The moral of the story is.. don't go to Buc's, unless you want to be treated like you're in a college bar by a inexperienced manager who is young enough to be your kid. read more

i love this bar great energy and friendly faces drinks are crafted well with love and beers are ice cold

This place is absolutely horrible. I got kicked out for dancing on the dance floor with a beer. Me and my friends were spending a lot of money and would have continued to. Owners obviously don't care about bad reviews because if you read all of them they are all terrible. Wish I could give zero stars. This place sucks. read more

This place is awful. We had a driver drop us off and I didn't get two steps out of the van before the bouncer pointed at me and told my cousin, "Your friend can't come in, she's too intoxicated." I was laughing thinking he was messing around with us b/c I was definitely not intoxicated. I was shocked and really trying to understand why he thought that, when I saw a man walking towards the entrance who kept tripping who was so drunk he couldn't even stand. And guess what?! He let him right in. Lol. Not sure the reasoning of who they do or don't let in, but they'll just say you're too intoxicated to justify. My advice is AVOID this place and give the other fun places in Fredericksburg your business! read more

Get the Buc outta here. We were celebrating a friend's bachlorette party at Otto's when we were recommended that this place was "the only rap bar in Fredericksburg." Well, this place isn't a rap bar. It's actually just a bad excuse of a bar, filled with massive amount of smoke - the kind your momma warned you about. The kind that sneaks into your clothes, your hair, even your eyebrows, and never seem to want to leave. The kind that's intoxicating, making it hard to breathe. The kind that you try very hard to stay away from in fear of second hand smoking effects. This place had no one on the dance floor at 10pm on a Friday night. This place has booths around/on the dance floor where old creepy guys take snapchat videos of your friends dancing. This place has really nice older ladies in the front who direct you away from the bar and to Crossroads instead (listen to them!!!) Avoid this place at all costs, unless you really just want bright neon glow in the dark sweet tart shots for $3. read more
