Bartender crafting a cocktail at Bucky's

A place where the drinks are cold, the company is warm, and you're always treated like family.

Bucky's Cocktail Lounge has been a San Mateo staple since day one — a neighborhood bar where regulars know your name and strangers leave as friends. We believe a great cocktail is more than just ingredients; it's about the moment, the mood, and the people you share it with.

From our handcrafted classics to our seasonal specials, every drink is made with care and served with a smile. Whether you're unwinding after work, celebrating a milestone, or simply enjoying a quiet evening — this is your place.

Warm, Inviting Atmosphere
Locally Loved & Trusted

Cocktails crafted with intention, served with pride.

From timeless classics to seasonal creations, every drink tells a story.

Classic Old Fashioned cocktail

The Classic Old Fashioned

Bourbon, bitters, a hint of sweetness, and stirred to perfection. Our house signature — simple, bold, unforgettable.

Negroni cocktail

The Negroni

Gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth — equal parts bitter and bright. A ritual in a glass for the discerning palate.

Martini cocktail

The Vesper Martini

Gin and vodka, shaken — not stirred — with a whisper of Lillet. Bold, elegant, and made for those who know what they want.

Fresh margarita cocktail

The Fresh Squeeze Margarita

Real lime, quality tequila, and a hand-cut salt rim. Refreshing, balanced, and made fresh to order — every time.

Whiskey sour cocktail

The Whiskey Sour

Rye whiskey, fresh lemon, a touch of simple syrup, and a float of egg white. Silky, tangy, and deeply satisfying.

Seasonal specialty cocktail

The Seasonal Special

Our bartenders' ever-evolving creation — inspired by the moment, crafted with seasonal ingredients. Ask what's pouring.

And that's just the beginning — our full menu features wines, beers, and non-alcoholic options for everyone.

Step inside — this is where the evening begins.

Warm amber lighting. Rich wood and deep green tones. The soft clink of glassware and low jazz playing just beneath conversation. Bucky's is designed to feel like a room you never want to leave — sophisticated without being stiff, relaxed without being casual.

Whether you're at the bar sharing stories with the bartender or tucked into a corner booth with good company, every detail is here to make tonight feel special.

We'd love to see you tonight.
