Buck's Club
Buck's Club is a gentlemen's club in London, located at 18 Clifford Street, established in June 1919. P. G. Wodehouse mentions it in some stories and modelled his Drones Club mostly after Buck's. It is probably best known for the Buck's Fizz cocktail, created there in 1921 by its bartender McGarry. Anthony Lejeune in his book ''The Gentlemen's Clubs of London'' (1979) comments that "Buck's Club is the only London Club to have been founded since the First World War which ranks, in social prestige and elegance, with the best of St James's Street clubs: and like them, it is named after its founder." In 2019, the club received media attention for its dinners in which young women are invited to entertain the elderly male members. History During the First World War, Captain Herbert John Buckmaster (1881-1966) of the RHG and some of his colleagues agreed that after the war it would be good to establish a gentlemen's club that was somewhat less stuffy than those that currently exi ...

Buck's Night
A bachelor party (in the United States and sometimes in Canada), also known as a stag weekend, stag do or stag party (in the United Kingdom, Commonwealth countries, and Ireland), or a buck's night (in Australia), is a party held/arranged by the man who is shortly to enter marriage. A stag night is usually planned by the groom's friend or brother, occasionally with the assistance of a bachelor party planning company. The first references to Western stag nights in the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' date to the 19th century. Traditionally, stag nights involved a black tie banquet hosted by the father of the groom that included a toast in honour of the groom and bride. Since the 1980s, some bachelor parties in the United States have involved vacationing to a foreign destination, or have featured female company such as strippers or topless waitresses. History The bachelor party dates back as early as the 5th century B.C. The ancient Spartans celebrated the groom's last night as ...
