Buckfast: A Taste of Home at Invergordon Bar

When it comes to Scottish beverages that evoke strong feelings of nostalgia and connection, Buckfast Tonic Wine tops the list. Here at Invergordon Bar, your Scottish pub in Melbourne, we’ve embraced this spirited drink as part of our heritage offering, available by the bottle, by the glass, or even for your special occasions outside the bar.

Buckfast isn’t just any tonic wine; it’s a cultural staple with links to the heart of Scotland and beyond. Created by monks in Devon, England, this unique concoction made its way into Scottish popular culture, becoming a cherished symbol among expats and locals alike. As rich in history as it is in flavour, Buckfast offers notes of spice and complex sweetness, with a little bit of a kick thanks to its caffeine content.

Feeling like sharing with friends or needing a little pick-me-up before exploring nearby attractions like [Marvel Stadium](https://www.marvelstadium.com.au/) or [O’Brien Icehouse](https://obrienicehouse.com.au/)? Buckfast by the bottle is your answer.

We’re thrilled to offer Buckfast to-go, so you can take a piece of Invergordon Bar’s authentic charm wherever the celebration demands. Available for off-premises sale, it’s perfect for any event that requires a dash of cultural heritage.

Invergordon Bar is more than just a Scottish bar in Docklands. It’s a home away from home where belonging and connection remain at the heart of our mission. We understand that our Australian-based Scottish, Irish, and British expats might occasionally crave a familiar beverage like Buckfast.
