The Tippling House is a chic cellar bar in the heart of Aberdeen's cultural district, offering a 1930s speakeasy vibe with its wood-panelled ceiling, hanging lamps, and cozy booth seating. This subterranean late-night tavern serves boutique spirits, hand-crafted cocktails, and fine Scottish ales alongside inspired casual dining options. Established in 2012 by the cocktail catering company 10 Dollar Shake, it aims to provide a high-end imbibing experience.
Was our first time here after hearing about it for so long. Jamie really made our time there amazing, was so incredibly attentive, super talkative and friendly, and had great knowledge of the stock and drinks on offer. Thanks Jamie!! The vibe is great, the drinks are amazing and they can make most things by request. They also have a trade menu for hospitality staff. Fab place!!

Great little hidden speakeasy tucked away on Belmont. Stumbled upon it and loved the atmosphere. The £10 signature cocktails are amazing and well thought out and balanced. Had 3-for-2 small plates with a great variety : had the fritters, bao, and poutine. Evan and Charlie (Charlotte) were friendly, attentive and prooud of the establishment. Bonus points for being in a basement so the bathrooms are on the same level!!!

Firstly. Service: phenomenal, was greeted instantly, kind and soft spoken server and our water jug was refilled when it wasn’t even empty. The way my jaw dropped at the level of sophistication this place has (even at almost 1am). Please come here is your unsure as I could not recommend more. Furthermore the actual drinks here are delicious and well thought out, plus, the mixologists know what they’re on about here. I referenced a drink from a video game and one of the bartenders knew what is was, told me and said he could make it if I wanted. 6 stars!!!!

The pepper saltzman was one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. It wasn’t even one that caught my eye at first but I was having trouble deciding between all of the amazing-looking drinks and asked our waitress for help. She was extremely knowledgeable and gave great descriptions of all the drinks. We were planning to stay for 1, maybe 2, drinks, and instead stayed for 3 plus the 3 for 2 deal on small plates—all were delicious, especially the fried chicken bao buns.

Been coming here for yeeeears and it never disappoints!!! Celebrated our 10 year anniversary with our favourites.... Rye Old Fashioned and the dirtiest of dirty Gin Martini!!! You guys are all amazing, make us feel special evertime we're in, even when the place is packed... which is always, make sure you book! If not a seat at the bar watching the magicians.. sorry mixologist is well worth it!!! Cheers guys and see you soon!

Was here early afternoon for cocktails. As it was early it was quiet. Not all the food menu was available so we didn't eat. Cocktails were great. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks.
Craig J — Google review
We have traveled to many a famous cocktail bar in our time. The Tippling House measures up to the likes of Death & Co in New York. Inventive cocktails with refreshingly unique pairings of base spirits, fantastic liquers, and various modifiers make for a wonderful imbibing experience. When paired with the excellent service and knowledge of libations the staff bring to the table, it makes the place special. Go here, have a drink, and be happy.
Isaac E — Google review
Tasting menu was very nice and cooked to perfection and all cocktails very original, unusual and very tasty. The service was also very good. I wasn't too keen on the ambience - a bit too dark and cold. Some background music would be also nice as it was awfully quiet at times. EDIT: I didn't realise the rule for music applied to restaurants. My apologies - if it was possible, I'd add half a star :) 0

Beautiful decor, however food and drinks were average and overpriced. Staff were lovely and attentive, yet as others have reviewed we were met with an initial rudeness from management about needing the table back 45 mins prior to what we were told we could have it until because apparently "they were going to be busy and need to think of customers" despite us being customers! It didn't make a good first impression or help us to feel relaxed. We chose to leave promptly and go elsewhere with our money than stay where we were not wanted. Ordered a Hibiscus Pina Colada, don't think this is what I got more just a plain Pina Colada. Although it was tasty. At £11 garnish was disappointing.

We had a great time at Grape & Grain. Excellent wine in a really nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back, and would recommend it. We shared a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and had bruschetta as a snack. I also had a strawberry daiquiri. Excellent service and overall it was a great evening.

The bar is known for its delicious cocktails and live DJ sets, making it a great spot to enjoy good food and drinks. With an outdoor seating area, it's especially popular when the sun is out.
Not the type of venue that I would normally visit but what a surprise. The staff were outstanding in the delivery of customer service, which all seemed to be very natural. Our dog was also made most welcome and the staff couldn't have been more helpful in assisting my wife to enter and leave the premises despite her using a mobility scooter. The food was terrific and we left assuring ourselves that we have been missing out by not visiting sooner.

We visited last night for a 'Virgin Experience Cocktail Master Class'. The Master Class from Paddy was excellent. He was professional, knowledgeable and personable. We 100% recommend him. We learned lots from him. However, our pre-booked, post-Experience meal 'experience' was rubbish. Paddy made sure our starter arrived soon after our cocktails (at 7.15pm) but the rest of our pre-ordered meal never arrived, despite asking for it from the person who we thought was in charge of getting food out - she was singularly focused on other people (Tall Ships crew). We left because over an hour between a starter and the non-arrival of a main (despite asking for it) is just rubbish. DO: Go to Revolution because Paddy is excellent. NEVER EVER: Go to Revolution because everyone else appears to be rubbish.

Revolución de Cuba Aberdeen is a vibrant Cuban bar located in the heart of the Granite City, offering an authentic tropical experience. With a wide selection of the world's finest rums and classic cocktail bars, it's a perfect spot for partygoers. The venue hosts salsa dancing classes and offers an array of drinks including daiquiris, gin and tonics, martinis, and mojitos. Additionally, it features Cuban-inspired food and tapas to complement the fiesta atmosphere.
Hello all, We are vacationing in Scotland and of course, I'll take the time to post a few reviews. As Cuban Americans when we saw this Cuban restaurant in Scotland we had to try it out. I absolutely love the majestic cobblestone streets and old buildings in Europe. This restaurant is nestled in the middle of it all! Now, of course the food was not quite authentic Cuban. Sadly, they were actually out of bread to make a Cuban sandwich this day so I tried the chicken with rice & black beans. It was pretty good but Not Miami style Cuban food and we realize that was going to be the case. The restaurant as you can see from the pictures, is decorated wonderfully, they had Latin music playing in the background and we loved the espresso cafe. I would definitely recommend stopping by here for a lunch or dinner! It was not expensive at all, remember everything in the UK is pounds not US dollars. As far as parking goes there is parking on the main road. We actually walked here from our hotel because we didn't have a car. Wr really enjoyed our time in here. James...
James — Google review
I’ve always enjoyed coming to Rev de Cuba on Saturday nights, but lately the quality of the music has been really disappointing. This is meant to be a Latin bar, yet after midnight the music seems to shift almost entirely to Taylor Swift remixes and generic chart tracks. It never used to be like this, and honestly it’s put me off coming back, which is such a shame because it used to be my favourite Saturday night spot. Everything else about the venue is fantastic—the food, staff, and drinks are all great—but the music has completely killed the vibe. Please can we listen to some actual Latin music on Saturday nights 🙏
Ruby S — Google review
Lovely place with great vibes. We visited with friends The music is lively with latest hits. The drinks menu is pretty good and we tried a lot of items. Though they taste good we felt they seem more juice and less spirits so bit expensive for value. We tried the Cuban honey which was good. The sangria jug was more ice and juice than anything else. The Pineapple Express was okie dokie. The fierce female and caipirinha was strictly okay.

I had a family emergency and had to rush off mid birthday lunch and didn’t know if I would be back but the staff were so accommodating to my friends and offered to pack up food, or reheat it if needed when I eventually did get back. When I did return they had a birthday cocktail waiting for me and they were so lovely and attentive making sure that I was okay.

Cocktails and service was nice but food was a bit of a let down. We ordered 6 small plates and was barely enough for 2 of us. Food quite bland and not very exciting. Asked for more pita bread for the hummus but was told I'd need to order the dish again to get more bread so the kitchen can track the stock... Lol. Rather disappointing. Service was nice tho!

An absolute gem of Aberdeen. I had the most amazing cocktails made with a wonderful smile and a great sense of humour by Rhiann. I only intended on having one but her skill and passion and the wonderful attitude she possessed, I just couldn't settle for one. I ended up spending most of my weekend there. Her sidekick Ben was an absolute star, great conversation and plenty of laughs, made this dynamic duo an absolute dream to be served by. No request was too much, their combined knowledge and their humour and wittiness made my visits and absolute pleasure. Totally an asset to the Spiritualist and anyone passing through Aberdeen should pass by and experience this level of service and commitment. It would be criminal not to. Can't wait to visit again.

Visited for lunch Thursday 24th April. Booked a table for two in advance. Roxanne attended to the pre-booking call and all our needs at the venue. We had starters and a main course each. My wife was tempted with the Nachos starter-large potion and I sided with the Cullen skink soup-tasty but not very hot (a slight negative). We both had the fish and chips for our mains-absolutely delicious. They have a plethora of draught lagers and beers. I tried two different lagers which met my needs. The experience was made all the better as Roxanne was very friendly and made sure that we were well catered for at all times. She is a credit, and was a breath of fresh air-a great ambassador for the establishment-prime reason for the 5* rating. I only rated the atmosphere as 4* as there were only a handful of customers at the venue. Would definitely recommend for a spot of lunch, I suspect it would be quite busy on Friday/Saturdays so probably best to book in advance.

Lovely converted church into a bar and restaurant, serving an eclectic range of meals from around the world and good beer. I only marked it down on service as I think our server was somewhat preoccupied and wasn’t as attentive as I would normally like, but we can all have an off day, and I am certain this isn’t the norm.

Such a let down. The location and environment is amazing. However, the service was horrible. 30 minutes to get our starters Another 30 minutes to get water refills Another 30 minutes to get our food The manager finally apologized after 80 because they only had one chef in the back. I can appreciate being short staffed in the kitchen, but how does that keep you from communicating and getting refills before an hour? The food was good enough but the seasoning was super inconsistent. Fish and chips needed salt. The chicken fajita was overly spicy. The pizza needed salt. The steak was overcooked. The Mac n cheese croquette had zero flavor. The highlight was the caprese skewers which were absolutely delicious! Huge let down and I would suggest people find another place to eat in Aberdeen.

Had a lovely night with my husband on a Friday night in Soul. The staff was really helpful and the food was also so good. They had a nice DJ. Friday nights fully crowred. If you're going for food better to reserve a table with food, else you'll get only the drinks. You can park in the Bon-accord square which is in Bon-Accord street, Easy Parking. Security also good.

A great place go, even when it's quieter, like early evening. We were served by Jamie - who is probably the most attentive barperson we've ever come across in our lives. We really loved his friendly, professional nature and just how seriously he takes his job, like a proper host rather than a drink making machine. A really nice venue, with skilled bar people and loads of interesting drinks on the menu and on tap.

Lovely selection of cocktails....really polite bar manager (or bar key holder) Table service and was given a tab till we left. Really nice customer service. Liked the fact you are encouraged to be a good social drinker...with water given to us as well! Good responsible barring. Not too keen on the whole sweaty music tho! But apart from that...comfy seating and great drinks

Considering this is a cocktail bar and I was there at around 2 am, I was sober enough to remember it with fondness. It was very crowded and loud, which I am never very fond of. However, it made up for this with a combination of friendly atmosphere, happy staff and a quirky interior layout, being long and narrow. Not a place to go and have a leisurely chat, but if you want a young, vibrant, noisy drink in the wee small hours of Aberdeen, one of the places to be.

Just moved to Aberdeen a week ago.. ive found myself in here twice. Great vibe and seems really popular. Friendly welcoming doorman is always a plus and the bartenders look after you. Live music nights make for a great venue. I'll be coming regularly.

I had drinks here with work colleagues pre-lockdown and had a great night. We decided to work our way through a number of the cocktails on the menu and every one was first class! My favourite was amaretto sour! Would highly recommend to anyone/group looking for a great night in a quality bar with brilliant atmosphere and superb drinks!

Good music, good atmosphere. Barstaff seemed annoyed at how busy it was, several of us felt they weren't happy serving us so that was the only poor part of the night.

Need to get a handle on their bouncers, not too long ago we witnessed a bouncer throw a man to the ground and crack his head off the pavement (he was charged by the police in the end). Thought they would have given training to their bouncers considering that but clearly not, last night my friend was grabbed by three bouncers and dragged out because he lifted up my other friend on the dance floor… bit of an over reaction I’d say. He ended up falling down the stairs and they were dragging him by the wrists even though he wasn’t giving them any hassle and was willing to leave. Barbaric men on a wee power trip.

I attended club t for my birthday, had previously booked the vip birthday package and was expecting a great night and for drinks to be ready for arrival. My friends and I arrived at the club at 10:25pm and it was very quiet therefore we should’ve been served quick, however it took over 45 minutes to get our drink packages out and the staff were rude and pretty useless. When drink finally arrived a whole bottle was missing and when I questioned staff the response was extremely rude! Very upsetting and disappointing service. Also the lead up to the event and booking experience was utterly shocking, the communication from the company was so poor. Booking an event is a waste of time and money! Definitely not value for money

I had a giggle in here, so much nostalgia, and decent decor. Spent most of my time with locals and staff saying "a dinnea geet ya" or "a dannea ken ye paaaal" the Manchester accent clearly doesn't travel well. The staff was chatty but busy, no hassle off the locals when asking questions about what do, in the city and where to avoid. The music is all floor fillers and bangers, it's not like Now that's what I call, where you get 40 songs and 10 are monsters and 30 fluffs, it was hit after hit after hit and some stuff I don't think I've heard since I was a kid and growing up. Drinks not too badly priced either, over all had a banging night both here and at Vogue and switching floors was nice.

While this shop is close to Morrison supermarket, it's also a walking distance from Aberdeen beach. Compared to Morrison, the wishkey price here are relatively affordable. There is one bottle of wishkey on shelves that catch my eyes, which I will post here. If you cherish good wishkey, please shop here.

Been trying to buy cigars from this branch for over 3 months now. Each time I go in I get the same response "the boss hasn't offered new cigars because he is saying the place needs to make money first". Surely that's the simple laws of economics, sell cigars and make money. Today I went in at 5.15pm, they should be open until 6pm but they were closed. Very disappointed in this place now.

On a recent visit to Aberdeen. I was seeking perhaps a cigar or two, but outside the two large Scottish metropolises, it can be difficult to find anything more than a tubed Havana. I was delighted to find CASC on King Street therefore, where I stumbled into an aladdin's cave of smokes both Cuban and New World. There were also Scotch whiskies, craft beers and coffees. All life's little luxuries! There is a most impressive walk-in humidor, and the young gentleman on duty that day had a remarkable knowledge of the impressive selection of drinks and smokes on offer which put mine, an old hand in these matters, to shame. I left financially poorer, but with a haul of purchases I had not expected to discover outside Glasgow or Edinburgh. Owing to the brevity of my visit, I had no time to visit the sister establishment on Stirling Street, but I will most definitely be back!

The staffs are very friendly and patiently explain to us what is a potted crab (importantly with his warm smile), which I never had before. We ordered potted crab and nachos. Nachos are great. Keep it up. Highly recommended. The atmosphere of the pub is awesome. Lots of TVs in all directions for you to watch games. I also enjoy the old design of the building. There is also board games for everyone to enjoy. There must be something to suit everyone here.

First time being in here in many years, potentially since it became a part of a chain. Used to be a frequent place when a student and there was always a good platefull no matter what you ordered. We were a party of 3 and found there was plenty seats even though the Tall Ships were just arriving in the city. Me and my partner had the fish and chips and my mum had the beer battered halibut. Decent plate portions with the two fish and chips being tasty and no complaints. The beer battered halibut was large, however on getting some of it to try, the beer batter overpowered any taste of the fish. Bit disappointing, but as it was over £16+ my mum (81) still finished it with stray chips and parts of the fish magically appearing on my plate every so often. 😂

Dispite the lunch crowd, the waiter was attentive and took my order quite quickly. I tried the haggis fritters which is really delicious. I so wanted to have the sticky toffee pudding, which was really yummy, until I found some pieces of plastic, little bits of it. At first I thought it was just one off, then followed 3 more bits. Well I think the chef was having a tough day. I wasnt charged for the pudding, however, there was no apology though which was a real let down, hence my 3 star rating. No doubt the food is good.

A proper pub with character! The Prince of Wales is full of charm — dark wood interiors, a classic bar, and that cosy, old-school feel you want from a good British pub. Tried their deep-fried haggis fritters (pictured), and wow — crunchy on the outside, rich and peppery inside, exactly what you’d hope for. Came with a fresh rocket salad and a light vinaigrette that balanced out the richness perfectly. Simple, hearty, and well done. Drinks were great too — solid beer selection, including local brews, and the service was friendly and unfussy. It’s the kind of place where you could easily lose track of time with a pint in hand. Perfect for a relaxed evening or a casual bite with proper Scottish flair. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in town and want something authentically local.

The bar staff were friendly and the service fast and efficient. The food came out much faster than we expected. My steak and ale pie was very tasty. No nasty gristle and my wife’s mince was good too. The Lemon tart was nicely tangy. Not Michelin star but just fine. We’ll be back with family next time.

The experience was I would describe as mixed. The reason for that was that there was only one member of staff working there during the day which made customer service relatively slow, it isn’t to blame the person working as they were constantly working. They weren’t too happy that we ordered tea and hot chocolate, as they explained it isn’t a place to drink tea, however we wanted to eat their dishes so we wanted to stay, we didn’t drink as both of us for medical reasons couldn’t. The food took about an hour to make, the person also forgot what we ordered so we got a pizza and a hot dog but we actually ordered two hot dogs. We never got our tea, we just had coke. The member of staff was nice and friendly about it and felt bad in a way but I suppose the service wasn’t the best but not the worst. Things do happen and people do forget so it isn’t that big of a deal, he was happy to change it if we needed it changed.

I reviewed the drink menu & "Let's Split" sounded intriguing. I'm not a fan of spiced rum, but I can quickly change. Oh my goodness, what a treat! I had 2! On an empty stomach!

The Craftsman – A Scottish Breakfast with Soul In the heart of town, The Craftsman captures the spirit of Scottish hospitality with a breakfast offering that’s as bold and hearty as the Highlands themselves. Exposed brick walls, soft lighting, and charming floral china create an atmosphere that’s both refined and down-to-earth — the kind of place where time slows down just enough to savor every bite. The Scottish breakfast served here is a triumph of tradition and care. Perfectly poached eggs sit proudly atop a plate rich with local character. Thick back bacon, grilled to perfection, lends a smoky, savory punch. The sausages — juicy and seasoned with a subtle spice — are joined by a slice of black pudding that’s wonderfully crisp on the outside, rich and earthy within. Baked beans and buttery mushrooms add warmth and depth, while a roasted tomato offers a sweet, tangy lift. The toast, golden and robust, is ready to soak up every last bit — served with a generous pat of butter on the side. What elevates The Craftsman beyond its menu, though, is its people. The staff radiate genuine warmth and friendliness, treating each guest like a familiar friend. Service is attentive, unrushed, and always with a smile — the kind of welcome that turns a good meal into a great memory. This is not just breakfast — it’s a celebration of Scottish flavors, tradition, and heartfelt service. The Craftsman is a place to linger, to return to, and to recommend without hesitation.

Came in to see what a “coffee shop of the year” was like and it was disappointing. Tho service (order from the bar) and atmosphere was excellent the food was not. My order was quickly delivered but was leery when I asked for the potato and leek soup (at 11:00am) waitress said “let me see if there is any left!?! I expected fresh soup at that time of day- but received watery soup, must have been yesterday’s leftovers just reconstituted with water😞. Hubby got the “fluffy” fruit pancakes- oh boy! They were rubbery, thin, and hard. He had to use a knife to cut it up. Came with blueberries and bananas but apologized about the lack of strawberries which they ran out of and then went to the local Sainsbury’s to get more later. It doesn’t take a lot of effort to make homemade fluffy pancakes- nor have all the kitchen supplies ready to serve. Too bad the kitchen didn’t have their act together. I’ll be going to other cafes that are better!

What a wonderful spot! Cozy and welcoming, and best of all a huge gluten free menu! I went for brunch and had a wonderful breakfast bagel and side of beans. The staff were so reassuring about the safety precautions (toasted in the oven, hashbrowns weren’t fried in shared fryer) that as someone with coeliac I felt very at ease. Tea was posh.

Wee gem of a place. I like that's it's a cafe and bar/restaurant combined, the decor fits both styles very well. Really well decorated and a lovely atmosphere. Exceptionally friendly staff! We had a caramel latte with almond milk & a chai with almond milk, plus a slice of carrot cake & a nutella croissant. The cakes were absolutely delicious and a big mug for the drinks which was great! Really well priced as well. Will be back to try their cocktails and dinner menu sometime. Would highly recommend!

I was pretty disappointed that they abandoned their craft mission and landed to the mega average beer of brutish lagers plus a couple black isle and very little more. I expected much more from a place with “craft” in his name. The food was edible. On the minus side, after they ask you to pay right away, a confused girl ran after us asking if we paid everything. We paid everything but if you really want to make sure you should have a vague idea of what we ordered and ask for receipts. That’s the downside of hiring confused (to be kind) teenagers to pay them little.

We stayed a night in Aberdeen on our way to Inverness. Decided to go downtown and find a place to eat. We found the Craftsman Company and we're so happy we did! One of the few places in the UK that had white chocolate for my mocha (best cup of coffee I had in the UK!) and the food was great! Perfect portions and great flavor. The place was busy and the atmosphere is so cozy!

Been there once & it was an exceptional experience. Essentially a local boozer, but filled with an intriguing assortment of characters who, if you are brave enough to engage, will enthrall you with anecdotes & peccadilloes of their local culture.

Was a really good night til a bouncer came up to me and kicked me out with a petty explanation saying about how I walked down the stairs (I was in heels and was holding onto the handrail) then wouldn’t let me get my jacket and made me get up from one of the benches outside. Absolutely horrific kicking people out for no reason and doing the same to so many people
Katie C — Google review
This place used to be so good and the bouncers were all so lovely. But after a few week it’s got so much worse to the point where where me and my friends would arrive and feel unsafe and scared to the point we wanted to leave. All the nice bouncers that actually took care of us and made sure we were okay left and now Babylon is stuck with disgusting bouncers. I saw a many men fighting on the dance floor and some bouncers just walked away from the floor to the outside area, leaving the floor unattended, even saw some girls nearly getting knocked in the face by the drunk guys fighting as they were cornered against a wall. Just a very unsafe environment with a bunch of old men in the clubs during student nights. Such a shame this place had so much potential and it’s overall just a letdown.

I've been to many different events at the lemon tree over the years, and it's always been a great venue, especially for live music. Kids over 14 can come along too, which suits me. But the last gig I went to - hell's bells AC/DC tribute - had me scratching my head. For some reason, there now seems to be a queueing system for the bar, albeit a haphazard one. This led, during the support act, to a row of people lined up right across the front of the stage. We know how bars work, and this is not it. Great venue all the same.

Brilliant venue for gigs and events with big names. Craig Charles with his Soul and Funk nights, and the Doors Tribute band who are eerily like the real thing. Many big names and acts have started off here, including music acts and comedians. They also do lovely little Operas and Theatre for children, to get them used to culture and music. Always beautifully done, and very reasonably priced. You can also get a Play, a Pint and a Pie for a reasonable price. There's a bar, but it's only open when there's an event on. And I love it just the way it is.

Under the Hammer is a cozy underground bar located in Aberdeen, known for its relaxed atmosphere and simple yet impressive drink selection. The bar offers a range of guest ales, an extensive wine menu, and features local artworks on its walls. After being taken over and renovated by the McGintys Group, it has become a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. The refurbished venue maintains its excellent staff and drink selection while offering a cozier ambiance with comfortable seating and a delicious snack menu.
I went here solo as someone out of area as well! And it was great. The bar staff were phenomenal, attentive and just plain good. I brought a book with me and hunkered down at the bar for a couple of hours. There was a real sense of the place being a bit like a speakeasy and being alive with chatter (which was great background noise for my reading). I ended up chatting with some locals at the bar which was great! Proves are about average. The cocktails are lovely. I'm just gutted I didn't get to try the banana cocktail (next time!). It was such a great atmosphere that I didn't want to leave but plans required a moderately good bed time! I will be back!

To the idiot, Derek, and the other guy: The one night in question was for 18 - 25 year olds / Students. Unless you fall into either category, you won’t get in. The bouncers are there to keep people safe. The dude paying by card, you were in one room. There are 3 rooms. Don’t generalise the music of the entire place based on your experience in one room.

Specialty Museums
The Aberdeen Maritime Museum, situated in the historic Shiprow district, offers an immersive experience into the city's maritime heritage and its significant role in the North Sea oil and gas industry. Housed in the intriguing 16th-century Provost Ross's House, this museum showcases a diverse collection of models, photographs, and paintings that chronicle the evolution of the Dee estuary's port and depict the challenging lives of whale-hunters, herring fishermen, and North Sea traders.
Visited the Aberdeen Maritime Museum on a quiet Monday afternoon and had a truly enjoyable experience. The receptionist was incredibly warm and welcoming, setting a positive tone for the visit. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, blending the city’s rich maritime heritage with fascinating displays that appeal to all ages. It’s a gem tucked in the heart of Aberdeen and a perfect way to spend a few reflective hours. Entry is free which is amazing for what you get, but I do encourage visitors to donate 💰 if they can to support the continued care and presentation of this beautiful museum. You may have to wait a tiny little queue if it’s a busy day, staff are always ready to help on each floor with a smile. They have pamphlets for non-English speakers, so no excuse for you not to go. It is accessible for all abilities as long as there is an assigned carer to assist throughout your visit. This is one of the places you want to bring children and young adults to see what history and beauty this place holds and preserves. Highly recommend! ✨✨ Titi ❤️

I would visit here if you have an interest in maritime history, but is interesting for those who aren't.

Can’t believe this amazing place is free! 😍 I love museums...they always take us back in time and make us feel part of history. The displays, ship models, and harbour views here were just beautiful. 🌊⚓️ The Aberdeen Maritime Museum, located on Shiprow overlooking the harbour, is one of the city’s most fascinating free attractions. It’s housed in a blend of historic and modern buildings, including Provost Ross’s House, which dates back to 1593. The museum beautifully showcases Aberdeen’s deep connection with the sea — from shipbuilding and fishing to the modern North Sea oil and gas industry. One of its main highlights is the impressive 9-metre model of the Murchison oil platform, along with intricate ship models, artefacts, and interactive displays spread across four floors. Visitors can also enjoy stunning views of the harbour from the upper galleries, making it a perfect mix of history, culture, and coastal charm. 🌊⚓️

Food was delicious. We got the sharing platter for £50 which came with two regular sides, which was more than enough food for two. Really flavourful and perfectly cooked. Only complaint is that there aren’t many vegetable options for the sides - only coleslaw, green beans or buttered corn. I think likely just bad luck though, as I don’t like any of those! Would definitely return.

The restaurant was okay overall. I enjoyed the Texas fried chicken, but the coleslaw was stale, and the cornbread didn't taste good and we requested to bring something special for my birthday. Still, unfortunately, they don't do anything but for the dessert, my shortcake was lacking because it had too much cream that made me feel a little nauseated and the strawberry sauce on top was a little too sour but the ice cream on the side was nice. But the Service wasn't that good, especially for the 30-minute wait We asked for a jug of water twice before receiving it, and the atmosphere was JUST to my liking.

Their gumbo is like soup with rice and sausages and chicken floating in it I would have preferred more rice and a thicker sauce and less chilli Not sure why a slice of fruit cake was added Presentation was nice Blues music added atmosphere Maggie's is near Bar None and Mackies Ice Cream Parlour Paid £15 for gumbo a pot of tea and a sparkling water

Immerse yourself in the rich military history of Scotland at The Gordon Highlanders Museum in Aberdeen. This Regimental Museum showcases a vast collection that traces over 200 years of the esteemed regiment's service in the British Army. Through interactive maps, displays of uniforms, weaponry, medals, and personal mementos, visitors can delve into the compelling story of ordinary men from various walks of life who joined The Gordon Highlanders.
The Gordon Highlanders Museum is an absolutely extraordinary experience that left me deeply impressed from start to finish. Every exhibit is thoughtfully curated, vividly bringing to life the rich history and valiant spirit of the Gordon Highlanders regiment. I was particularly amazed by the outdoor trench replicas — they provide a powerful, immersive glimpse into the harsh realities faced by soldiers, making history feel incredibly tangible and real. Beyond the indoor displays, the beautifully maintained surrounding gardens create a peaceful and reflective atmosphere that perfectly complements the museum’s powerful storytelling. The blend of engaging exhibits and serene outdoor spaces makes this museum a must-visit for anyone interested in military history or Scottish heritage. Truly, it’s a place where history breathes and honors those who served with extraordinary dedication.

Cannot recommend it highly enough. What an incredibly warm welcome, which continued, (I also quickly visited the cafe, where i had a tasty but generous slice of cake) I met some museum managers as I explored, we chatted about the events and history, was even offered a Christmas chocolate by staff as I left. Lots of history, but the visit made by the people. The museum used the last few years wisely, the presentation of the galleries is great, easy to read interpretation, with clear font, graphics and nicely laid out cabinets. It feels updated and modern, yet has lots on display to appeal to history lovers. Also great if you like swords and silverware.

I had an amazing visit to the Gordon Highlanders Museum. The exhibits are beautifully detailed, and the World War One-style trench is both immersive and moving. The staff were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable—special thanks to the former Gordon Highlander who took the time to walk me through the displays and share fascinating stories. A truly memorable and educational experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Aberdeen!

A wonderful museum with an impressive collection. The building itself is pretty and has all the modern amenities which allow comfortable experience for guests of every age/ability. There's a lot to see inside, but it's not overdone. All exhibition rooms are well-designed and very aesthetic. There are also some interactive elements. I have to say you don't need to be a military freak to enjoy this. A lot of stuff like the silverware collection or little bits and pieces of soldiers' equipment can be interesting to everyone. I however am a freak so I especially enjoyed the weapons collection, medals from many different campaigns and of course the famous WW1 trench which is located on the outside. Sadly it was raining when I visited so I didn't take pictures, but on the other hand it only added to the experience. Hats off to the folks who designed and built it, it's a work of art. There was a young guide with us, who was super-passionate about WW1 and had a great storytelling talent. For more sensitive audience and kids this may be a slightly heavy topic, so keep that in mind. All in all, one of Aberdeen's top attractions. A definite must-see.

Very nice place, good food and nice people but in my opinion prices were a bit to high for both portions and taste. Crispy squid was 10/10 but two other dishes I tried were just fine - especially dumplings, imo a bit undercooked. Steak was also delicious 8/10.

Nice food, nice live music but lazy waiters, waited a very long time to get our beer to the table while they were not serving anyone but laughing behind the counter chatting to eachother. Kitchen was closed 30 minutes before the time declared on maps, which ended up with us getting a refund on a order we placed. That's very sad.

Advertised Hazyday and a free sample and on the sign said 1/3 sample. Though we were charged for this sample. When questioned we were told upper management made the decision to not actually give out free samples and charge customers. Another customer asked what we were drinking and and we told them about the situation where you are actually charged for a free pint. Member of staff then piped up and claimed that you do actually get a free taster and that they didn’t make the sign. Pretty poor to claim to offer a 1/3 pint taster then actually charge for it

We took 2 courses for 66£, we went here due to Google reviews. The dishes are good but the quantities are clearly worth reviewing for the price! we have done several restaurants in Scotland, and this one has cost us much more than on Skye (yet touristy and was an excellent restaurant with local meat like you). We had finished our dishes but we were still hungry, for this price... in short we did not want to be disappointed with desserts that will serve to satisfy our hunger for a price not in line with the portion. The kitchen is good, but if you want to be full, it's not the right place (or starter, main course, dessert)

This was the first restaurant I visited during my stay in Scotland, and it couldn’t have been a better start. The food was delicious, and the portions were just right. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The waiter’s service stood out. Dany was genuinely kind, attentive, and always made sure everything was perfect without being intrusive. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does. We decided to return the next day without a booking, and she made the impossible to get us a table. I left with a smile and would definitely come back if I have the chance. Highly recommended! ¡Muchas gracias Dany!

Gratefully BioCafe is temporarily closed otherwise we would not have walked into this beautiful place. Had the Haggis, Mussels and deep fried pickles to start. Pie of the day (Chicken & Haggis) and the Philly Cheese Steak Wrap with Truffle Fries. Could not alter or change the smallest ingredients, it was all incredible. My partner and I eat out once per day during this time of the year and this is top of our list. The atmosphere and customers were all cheerful and in great spirits. The price for all this plus 4 large soft drinks totalled £67! Incredible. Will be back at least once a month! Thankyou to all the staff and chef! Also candle lit tables, high stools by windows. Beautifully decorated!

Lovely service. However the roast is below average, pork was dry, roast potatoes and vegetables soft and wet, gravy consistency of water and yorkshire burnt black. Half of our table had the roast and all had the same issues, the others had from the main menu which seemed to be considerably better apart from the corner of black mouldy lettuce in the burger.

An unassuming place, which I like, a bit of a pub style. That being said, excellent cocktails and food. Some of the best I've had in Aberdeen. Good deals as well, like their midweek Margarita club at £7. And their Sunday roast, 2 + a bottle of red for £45, is a solid value. The staff is helpful with suggestions and lovely. Visiting from Texas, the Scottish mussels were great as well as the lentil soup and the garlic mushroom creme fresh on sourdough. Only caveat is that the kitchen closes at 9pm. But that's pretty normal for the area. Also, great music and atmosphere. Most people that came in were chatty and enjoying their time.

We walked in on a Tuesday night when the place was nearly empty without a booking, only to be told (kind of rudely) that they were fully booked that night. Alright, that’s fine, we then made a booking for Wednesday for dinner, lo and behold they were completely unbooked, and got seated fairly quickly. We then waited almost an hour for our one appetizer, mussels, which were enormous. For those unaware, typically the smaller mussels have a much better flavour. They were also in this weird super thick cream sauce and were just generally low quality. We then waited almost another 40 minutes for our mains, which were utterly disappointing. My mother’s was the wrong dish entirely (thankfully this was corrected fast). The risotto was essentially just normal rice that had been absolutely smothered in black pepper to the point that it was the only identifiable flavour, and the ribeye steak on top was grey and had no char or flavour. The nachos were soggy almost immediately and the cheese wasn’t very melted. The salmon prawn salad was alright, but was mostly salmon and not enough greens. The burger and chips were actually great, no complaints there, which is the only reason they get 2 stars for food lol. Overall, a wholly disappointing experience, from the wait staff to the kitchen times to the food. Would not recommend.
Gage P — Google review
Made a booking for 1730 for 1.5 hours for food and drinks. The place is a ver nice atmosphere and great food. I had the salmon and prawn risotto, wife just ended up with an appetizer of nachos with cajun chicken, and my kid had a half portion of fish and chips as no actual kids menu, but will tailor a portion size for a child and charge a price for that portion which is very appreciated. My wife said the nachos were some of the best she has had, which is not what you'd expect to find in Scotland. They had lots of cheese and looked very good. The risotto was very good and was one of the several gluten free options on menu. The fish and chips for a half portion was still huge and looked very good. They also had a good drinks menu with some very nice scotches. Highly recommend if stop in Aberdeen or passing through and needing something to eat.

Disappointed with the Guinness pour Visited recently and was really let down by how my pint of Guinness was served. It was poured all in one go without letting it settle — completely missing the two-part pour that gives Guinness its signature texture and head. As someone who appreciates a proper pint, it was a shame to see the staff not trained on something so basic. A bit of staff training on how to serve Guinness correctly would go a long way in improving the overall experience.

Not brilliant, but not terrible either. A little overpriced. Coffee itself was pretty poor, not much flavour, but serving it with a block of tablet was a nice touch. I had the bagel and soup. Soup (red pepper) was a bit watery but had decent flavour. The bagel was served warm and the pastrami pickle mustard combo held up well - but it all seemed like supermarket ingredients that I wasn't too impressed paying £7.50 for. The staff were nice enough though and it was a good relaxing place for a bite and a sit down.

Great experience, what a wonderful way to celebrate the great citizens of Aberdeen and the locality. I found their stories, their artifacts and the building fascinating. I wasn't sure the Hall of Heroes at the start works at all, so skip through that and the rest is worthwhile. Probably an hour to go round but could spend more time engaging and reading everything.

According to the staff inside, this used to be a 'dressed' house with furniture and fittings to suit the history of the place. Now it hosts a modern exhibition showcasing the achievements of famous people from Aberdeen over time. The information and supporting exhibits is interesting stuff, with interactive elements for the younger audience. There is a fantastic painted ceiling in one room. I think the size of the place could accommodate some old (which I think people would be expecting) and the new, as there is too much to take in in one visit. It is free to enter, which to an English visitor is a really pleasant surprise!

Absolutely beautiful. I would definitely recommend everyone visits for the "painted gallery" alone. The staff were absolutely lovely, the exhibits were really interesting, and I left feeling like I'd had a really fulfilling day! It's free to enter, and it kept my occupied for about 2/3 hours, so it would be a nice day out alone or with friends to learn more about Aberdeens history. The building itself is absolutely gorgeous to look at too! The spiral stairs are a bit scary, and it doesn't have disabled access, but there is a little bit where you can sit and look through all the exhibits on a screen, so although it's not ideal, considering it's an old building and they can't install a lift, I think they did a nice job of being inclusive.

Ruth and Marcie served me Friday night, straight away both girls were super welcoming. Both very genuine and easy to talk to, they clearly take their job seriously but aren’t afraid of having a bit of a laugh with the customers. They brought the vibe, will definitely be back! 5 stars all round

Live music venue
The Music Hall, located on Union Street in Aberdeen, is a 19th-century performing arts venue that underwent a multi-million-pound transformation and reopened in late 2018. Originally built as the city's Assembly Rooms, it now serves as a concert hall with a classical facade and an airy interior. The venue hosts a wide range of events including concerts spanning various genres such as rock, pop, classical music, jazz, and folk.
Great venue. We visited to catch Fish on his Road to the Isles tour and were really impressed with the layout and accessibility. Nice bar/restaurant with reasonable prices and the building has been dealt with sympatrically according to it's age and history. As a concert venue, the acoustics were brilliant. Excellent sound quality from the stage and even better, when audience participation was called for, it was clear. Made the whole night very memorable.

I visited here for the Beluga Lagoon gig and what a fantastic venue. Beautiful looking from the outside it's an absolutely remarkable looking building. However as we queued to enter a few people decided they were not happy with the size of the queue and went to the other side and started a separate smaller queue. Surely a barrier to say queue from one side would be the best thing. Once inside we were really impressed with the acoustics, and the size of the hall. The toilets were well looked after. One issue though was the bar, definitely not enough staff on as queues were massive. A brilliant venue, and with some tweaks could definitely be a 5 star place.

The Howff is a great place for a drink or two and good pub grub. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable, making it an excellent choice for family meals or casual night out. The staff are extremely helpful and polite, making this one of the best pubs in Aberdeen.
I genuinely had such a nice experience here today. We had a table booked which I am glad we did as it got busy and it doesn’t have a massive capacity. Good range of food options. Connor and Quinn were fab as our servers. Very polite, attentive and helpful. We were very happy. We will definitely be back. My friend and I were saying that there isn’t much up “that end of union street” to draw in foot traffic but I think if you know how good it is, it is a reason to visit in itself!

Upon walking in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, Quinn who was behind the bar asked if we were in for food or drinks, upon my response of food, they said just to sit anywhere we would like and would pop over to take our orders. The service and friendliness that was given was absolutely warm and perfectly polite, gave us adequate time for deciding on drinks and then again for food. Food was absolutely delicious, superb amount and presented gorgeously. Would highly recommend if want a nice quiet drink and something lovely to drink, or something to eat from the perfect sized menu.

I came in to have dinner with my daughter, and I have to say that my experience was one to be remembered. The food was next level and the fish was definitely fresh, you can tell they have sourced it from somewhere decent, I know as I do a lot of cooking myself. The service was fantastic as we were served quickly with a friendly atmosphere and a really good vibe from the staff. They all have fantastic people skills, one person that went above and beyond was keneshia I believe her name was. She was bubbly, polite and very easy to speak to, I believe with her professionalism and the way she is around others, making you feel safe and accepted, this is a gift, if I ran that place I'd be inclined to offer her a promotion because people with that kind of skills around others are quite hard to come across. I left there feeling happy and full up, this kind of positivity set me up for a really good night, thank you very much guys, I will definitely be returning here and I will be recommending it to my friends!

One of the best bar/pub in Aberdeen. What makes it better is atmosphere and selection of great craft beers in a vast variety. It’s a nice place to have a couple of pints away from all the hustle bustle of other similar crowded places around. Plenty craft beers on taps available and the rest of cans & bottles fill in fridge to enjoy in or take away. Nice seating area. Very pocket friendly prices and convenient location.

This place is the pits. I spent a lot of money in the slot machines whilst having a little break with my sister. I was ready to leave for my bus home to perth this morning. Tried to cash in my meagre winnings. The cash desk had a note on saying back in 20 minutes. The do it yourself cash dispenser had no paper in it so the member of staff just walked off and left me standing there. So had to leave for my bus with a voucher in my pocket. So let's hope I'm back before that runs out. There's always a pleasant cheerful person on the desk upon arrival but that's it as far as helpful friendly staff go in this place. Nobody asked if we would like a coffee at all this morning.

Nox is a popular nightclub in Aberdeen that plays a mix of music depending on the evening. It is often frequented by younger groups, who are looking for night clubs. Tables can be reserved which allows guests to bypass the queue and receive table service.
This place was quite nice but one of the bouncers disrespected me quite badly (I’m a trans male explained this to all door staff) so my ID matches my bank card with my legal name, no problems getting in but one bouncer in particular (never got his name) stopped me going in the men’s bathroom. My friends argued I calmed them down explaining it was okay, I’ve never been told I, as a man cannot go into the men’s bathroom, I don’t present female I don’t even look like one I just look like a young man. The bouncers concerned about my age were so pleasant and the lady serving our shots was lovely which is the only reason this place got 3 stars. If I have an experience like this about my gender again I will guaranteed take it further.

Told 3 different security guards multiple times about a guy who kept harassing our group of all girls. They kept brushing it off saying they would keep an eye on him.

Disappointing Stay Despite Some Smart Features Short: This place could be decent with some serious attention to cleaning, maintenance, and guest comfort. Unfortunately, our experience felt more like staying in an overlooked student flat than a proper serviced apartment. Would not recommend unless management makes significant improvements. FULL REVIEW: I stayed at CHEERZ Apartment with my girlfriend for a short trip, and while the apartment had some positives, the overall experience was unfortunately let down by very poor cleanliness and maintenance. Positives: Convenient Location: Very close to the train station, which made it easy to get around. Modern Touches: Philips Hue smart lighting and smart key cards for room access were a nice tech-savvy touch. TV and Space: The room was a decent size with a functional TV. Renovated Kitchen: Looked fairly modern and had potential if better maintained. Negatives: Cleaning Was a Major Issue: The bathroom and room were dirty on arrival. We found used plasters, hair, and overflowing rubbish bins in the bathroom, including menstruation products—completely unacceptable. Unclean Environment: Edges of the room hadn’t been cleaned in a long time—we ended up vacuuming ourselves. The staircase had visible food scraps and dirt. Lack of Kitchen Essentials: There were no bowls and generally not enough cooking/eating equipment. The kitchen floor was cluttered with cleaning supplies that made it hard to move around. Broken or Faulty Fixtures: The window didn’t open at all, and the blinds were broken—either stuck or not fully closing. Noisy Surroundings: The bar directly underneath was constantly loud, especially at night, which made it hard to sleep. Shabby Area: The neighborhood didn’t feel particularly safe or welcoming.

I was followed into the bathroom by an older clearly straight man who was making me uncomfortable for quite a bit of the night. Thankfully my friend was able to go get a member of security to deal with him, but had I been alone or went to the bathroom without my friend I don’t want to think of what could’ve happened to me since I wouldn’t have been able to get security myself. I made this incident aware to staff that run the Instagram page after responding to a poll about the security and all they did was heart react to my message, they couldn’t even be bothered to respond decently after I told them about this frightening experience I had at their establishment. My friend and his mum were refused entry by a bouncer because his mum “had too much to drink” when she hadn’t in fact had too much to drink, she was a middle aged disabled woman who didn’t want to bring her mobility aid because she felt self conscious. My friend explained this to the bouncer who then doubled down and said he didn’t care, this is not acceptable especially for an establishment who are supposedly welcoming of everyone especially drunk and dangerous men who sexually harass young women in the bar

I had an absolutely awful experience at Cheerz nightclub. The security staff were incredibly rude and disrespectful, treating everyone like crap for no reason. The bar staff were even worse they just make up prices on the spot! Every time I ordered the same drink, the price was different, and it felt like they were trying to scam people. It's really disappointing when a place has such poor service and inconsistency. I won’t be coming back and would definitely not recommend this place to anyone. Being the only lgbt venue in the city I’d expect it to be a bit more accommodating to its lgbt customers

Have been here for a variety of events over the years and nights out, never had any issues here, it's a very inclusive place, I'm surprised at some of the reviews, it's not a surprise that they have a no trackies policy it has been around for years and the amount of straight people in the venue, I think reflects the strength of the allies that are here and want to party with friends and family. It's a clean, safe bar, fair priced drinks and a good atmosphere. I'm glad it's in the heart of Aberdeen as a place for LGBT+ people to go and find a community. Couldn't recommend it more.

*NOT THIS STATION BUT THE WHOLE BUS SYSTEM* This is probably the worst bus system out of the entirety of the UK. Somehow the ones in London are far superior. The Express (X) busses are great quality, BUT they are absolutely awful at some things. Especially TIMING. The X busses are AT LEAST and ALWAYS 8 stops behind schedule, heavily makes you feel like you missed your bus, then it comes as your hurrying to your destination and can't even make it back to the stop. Aberdeen busses suck.

I would recommend this spot for a drink any day for the experience of being in a cool basement bar with pool tables, darts, etc. The fajitas we're good and the Dahl was also good, but I wouldn't recommend ordering it with chicken because it gets grilled separately and placed on top.

Good pub grub. Healthy enough menu with the 'bad' choices should you wish. Bar staff are friendly and polite.

I think we went in on a bad night. Poor singer on one side rowdy group of people on the other. Limited choice when it came to beer. Staff seemed ok. Probably deserves a 2nd chance, but 1st visit wasn't great.

Best tasting Tattie Skins in a long time, great service, chilled atmosphere during the day, great for a light bite.

The ambience is great. The staff are friendly. They've got a decent collection of drinks. The place is usually crowded in the evenings and on game nights. The pub quiz is usually on Monday evenings. The food is pretty decent as well. A must visit if you're travelling to Aberdeen.

Traditional pub with fair prices. Hamburgers are good. Very well decorated and nice atmosphere inside. Great to grab some pints with pals. They even have an upstairs space for private events and cards with discounts.

American restaurant
Family restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Union Square, Coast to Coast is a delightful eatery that offers an impressive array of American classics, from juicy burgers and succulent steaks to mouthwatering pizzas. But what truly sets this spot apart is its hidden treasure for cocktail enthusiasts; their extensive cocktail menu features gems like the French Martini, especially enticing during Happy Hour. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect place for breakfast or any meal throughout the day.
Absolutely good American food. We went for multiple appetizer tasting size of all time American favorites. Service is polite and environment is casual and relaxing. Good place for family with young children.

Had a breakfast with the family here this morning. It was very tasty. We all enjoyed our meals. Waffles were very nice but unfortunately not freshly made. Eggs Benedict was delicious although the might have been better warm. The cooked breakfast was very tasty. Service was warm and friendly. 2 for £10 on breakfast as well was a great deal. So all in all a really nice breakfast. Would definitely recommend.

Unique, cultured and modern. Great atmosphere - you even get a tub of cookies with your coffee!! Nice place. Only thing I would say is that the weekend menu is a tad expensive. I highly recommend this place to everyone

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and very quick service even when busy. Problem is that food arrived so fast and i dont think it was very fresh. But overall would definitely recommend.

Difficult to describe just how bad this was. Tasteless burger. I paid extra for "dirty fries" which arrived as chips with some unmelted grated cheese, and also extra for cheese on the burger which was so thin it was literally transparent. Service was pretty abysmal too. One to avoid.

Pub
Bar
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Aberdeen, Cafe Drummonds stands as a beloved hub for music enthusiasts and nightlife seekers alike. This laid-back bar is renowned for its eclectic mix of alternative live music, open mic nights, and comedy events that keep the atmosphere lively and engaging. With a capacity to host around 300 guests, it offers an intimate setting where both local talent and well-known tribute acts can shine.
A terrific live music venue,professional stage with lighting and a house PA. Big room space with tables on different levels. Real retro 70's rock club feel about the whole place. Unfortunately, didn't partake of any food. Check out website for listings of frequent gigs. All music genres catered for. Thoroughly recommended.

Visited here for the first time on Friday night. Ordered 2 beers which tasted awful and were clearly off. My husband took them back to the bar where the manager refused to swap them for 2 fresh ones of a different kind as in her opinion "they smelt fine" therefore nothing wrong with them. (Nobody bothered to taste them). Won't be back !

Good night seeing Silver City Soul Review. A happy crowd, plenty of dancing and a good 👍 band.
AeroBar — Google review
Some questionable staff members here that intentionally overcharge and under pour. Went to the bar and asked for a half pint of beer. The barman, who I now know is called Ben, poured the drink, took payment and walked away. A second later - I looked down at the glass I was confused as the half pint glass was only poured half way. I beckoned him back, he said that was what I asked for and pointed at what was a quarter pint, which was very peculiar. As he turned away for the third time - I then tapped him on elbow to get his attention. I had paid the price for a half pint, so I presumed he made a mistake. He refused to come back to me and instead spoke to security. A Granite Elite security guard told me that am banned indefinitely for reaching over the bar. When I spoke to the manager, Janey, a few days after, she clarified I was banned for reaching over the bar and tapping Ben on the arm. I told her what happened and she said that the barman told her I specifically asked for a quarter pint so that’s what he made me. I still do not believe a quarter pint is a recognised measure, yet they are trying to convince me it is, and I certainly did not ask for it. Not only did he pour me what sounds like a bogus measure and got my order wrong - he broke the weights and measures act if this is not an official pour. Therefore, he also stole money from me by intentionally charging me double the value of the pouring. These actions have led me to believe that the business (or particular team members) are taking advantage of guests by serving incorrect drinks and charging more than the value. It is the only bar I have been to that serves quarter pints as a standard drink size , why is it the same price as a half? I explained to the manager - I would have had no reason to tap him on the elbow to get his attention if he served me the drink I asked and had paid for. I am still very baffled by this. I now gather that the same Granite Elite security team member, who’s the most vocal, stating I have been banned, may be dating, or at least friends with, the same member of staff that made the drink. Maybe these scenarios / ban was orchestrated by them. He did turn up on the night to deliver the news, yet on further research - he was not allocated to work at the venue the on the day or time of incident. They have also been kissing at the entrance of the pub- so maybe there’s truth in that. Nonetheless, as a result of all the suspicious and unprofessional behaviour - I am reporting this instance at Drummonds to trading standards - as advised by the police who had overheard the dispute. They will confirm if this is congruent with the licensing laws and a recognised measure.

Drummonds is always good fun, ace bands, nice staff, drink a little on the pricey side compared to other places nearby. Toilets are downstairs and can be a little ropey aroma-wise but 🤷🏻‍♀️ . You'll live 🙂.

Dive bar and grass roots music venue in the city centre is often packed with people. The band playing when I went there was superb and it was nice atmosphere with a good crowd.

Here's another one for the live rock fans in Aberdeen. In all brutal honesty, the place isn't anything too special. The atmosphere is very depressing. I've had several nights out at this bar and in my opinion, I think it needs some kind of revamp. The bar staff seem quite shy, but not impolite. Their service is there, but that's as much as I can say. Unlike Krakatoa, this live music venue has a much more variety in ages who show up. Which is a plus I guess.

Live music venue
Event venue
Nestled in the heart of Aberdeen, The Cellar is a charming and unpretentious venue that serves as a vibrant hub for live music enthusiasts. With an inviting atmosphere filled with lush greenery, it’s the perfect spot to unwind while enjoying an eclectic mix of genres from indie rock to folk and experimental sounds. This cozy space not only attracts local talent but also welcomes seasoned artists looking for intimate performances.
We had a fantastic private celebration at The Cellar last month. With our own bartender, space to dance, ability to play our own music and decorate to suit the vibe we wanted, it was the perfect fit. Management were super accommodating and we have booked again for Xmas time. The perfect private space for anyone looking to celebrate any occasion!

Been to a couple of gigs here. Fab wee room with well stocked bar. (Impossible not to get the chance to speak to the band as there's no backstage!)

I recently had my birthday party at this venue and it was a fantastic experience overall! The space was great, and the staff were super helpful and friendly throughout the event. Everyone had a great time and felt well taken care of. The only small downside was the lack of ventilation, it did get a bit warm, but we left the doors open the whole time, which helped a lot. All in all, a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion. Would definitely recommend!

I have used The Cellar for putting on various gigs over the past 3 years. Each time the venue has been excellent; it's a lovely intimate spot for live music. The staff have always been super helpful & encouraging on the nights and I will be using The Cellar for many more events & gigs in the future.
