Orkney Dark Island is still the only cask ale on offer here. The service was pleasant but the interior was non too appealing. Didn't notice the steep prices, but everywhere in Aberdeen seems cheap when compared to London.

was told by someone in a pub nearby that the reason he charges £2.60 for a pint of lager is to keep the idiots out the pub. dont know if its true or not

Visited again, the place is still inviting and the staff polite. But this time the Orkney Dark Island was in poor condition, nearly vinegar. That is a pity, as this is the only cask ale they stock now.

Truely magnificent bar. Fantastic place for the best pint in Aberdeen, friendly bar staff and extremely clean bar. Very welcoming atmosphere. Really is a cut above the rest.

I was in the office block across the road during Sept 11th. Anyway, this is a great pub which I go into after returning to aberdeen by train following aberdeen fc away games. This place is more than a cut above the other nearby pubs. Prides itself on the service it offers and you are treated as a valued customer ratehr than an inconvenience.

A pub I'll remember the rest of my life - I was there on Sept. 11. 2001 waiting for a train, shortly after flying in to Aberdeen Airport. The TV was on, and for the first time I saw the surreal pictures from New York rolling over the screen. The shock did not keep me from sampling cask conditioned Orkney Dark Island, one of the best beers I've had. Friendly and tranquil daytime atmosphere in the pub, which is situated just across the street from the train station.

A friendly bar, a stones throw from the railway station, good selection of beers as I recall....a lot of oilmen still frequent the place which gives it a lot of character(!)..
