Buck Rogers Burger Station
From Glasgow
Also know as The Buck Rogers Bar and The Buck Rogers Cafe. For a brief period before it closed, the restaurant was renamed simply Buck's Burger Bar.
Located at 25-37 Queen Street. Opened by Lord Provost Michael Kelly in November 1982.
The Burger Station later became The Triangle Restaurant and afterward, Archaos.
The restaurant is described as very dark, with floor level lighting and disco smoke effects. The TV series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century played continuously on a projector while staff were dressed as characters from the TV show. A particular attraction was the robot Twiki, played by a dwarf, 'Alan' from Milton.
Owned by Brian Waldman.
The top floor of the building featured a miniature film studio where some movies were recorded to be displayed on the monitors in the restaurant.
