Descriptive phrase: a bar for college partying sans college kids.
For whatever reason, even though it's on campus and near the stadium, not as many UW students frequent Buckingham's as much as the other Regent bars. That's fine by me, now that I've graduated. It's still a great place to act like you're an undergrad: we came on a Saturday night and had $1 rail drinks and shots. That's impossible to beat. Drinks are usually good, bartenders nice. Only complaints are the extremely sticky floor and the deafening music. Put up with those and you'll have a good time.
