| - More commonly known as Buck's (or Buck's Madison Square), it's your fairly standard divey sports bar. Several beers, nightly specials, moderately priced.
My first experience with Buck's was watching hockey playoffs this year, and they had half-price appetizers and cheap beer. We got a $1.50 basket of fries, and they were really, really good. Thick-cut, crispy, not greasy.
In the last couple of months I've been frequenting Buck's for Team Trivia on Thursdays. We usually do pretty well, so our gift certificates have been furnishing a couple five-can buckets of Miller Lite. Last week I got a veggie burger, and it was fair. Definitely not the best I've had, but pretty good for a place where veg options are not their specialty. Some things run on the pricey side ($8 cheese curds, for instance), while other things are completely reasonable ($4 brat with chips).
It's not a place I'd clamor for, but the staff is nice and it's served its purpose well.
