Auchinyell Sox Change Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 must be a new hotel - built after i left know the area though loads of boozers in town - some more upmarket auld mannie type bars , and some v basic i was always a bit wary of the local pubs in that part of town ; gilcomston,john st etc illicit still maybe as an option ; prince of wales - feels more like an edinburgh real ale pub that typical Abdn city centre place Grill & Bridge bar are favourite haunts of the serious drinker looking for old time service believe there is lot of new bars now though - think there is a place near little john st ; brewpub ? blue lamp is ok (could be great) but bit of a dark damp place - ok for quick pint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great beers. Also BrewDog on the Gallowgate isn't far away.Then there's the Kirkgate on Upper Kirkgate which leads you on to Belmont Street, just 5 mins away - Ma Cameron's in Little Belmont Street is worth a visit, although Belmont Street can be a bit of an ordeal on Friday and Saturday.

Guest flumax Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I liked the Grill but the last time I was in Aberdeen was 1997 (for the Belarus game). Not much to look at from the outside, great if you like your malt and Real ale. If you are still looking For ale and old manny Under the hammer beside golden square. Prince of Wales St Nicholas square beside RBS. Blackfriers on castlegate. Archibald Simpson (weatherspoons) across from blackfriers. Carriages and the stag on Crown Street. Mcgintys and Glentanar on Holburn junction. Aitchies across from the station. Not old manny but worth popping in to CASC on silver St ( I think that's what is called) and then the craft beer triple of brewdog, 6 degrees north and the top and bottle (or summit like that) next door, beside marchial college on broad Street and little John Street.

Charlie Endell Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I spent at fortnight seconded to the Royal Insurance's Aberdeen office in 1994 - it was pretty much diagnonally across Union Street from the Grill - needless to say it wasn't the most productive fortnight of my less than illustrious career. I'm sure I heard it now has a ladies - the Georgic in Shawlands was also notable for the absence of a ladies' toilet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_observer Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 The Grill has had a wifies toilet for a few years now. However, the Bridge Bar doesn't - but it does have a sign on the door informing you that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
