| An above average Spoons bar IMO. The door security is about right for any city centre pub and that was reflected by the easy going and relaxed atmosphere inside. The publicised chain commtiment to micro-breweries and more obscure ales has to be applauded. A set price of £1.80 a pint meant that my exceptional pint of Deuchars was £1.50 less than I had been charged in another pub nearby. One drinker ordered a pint of Burton Bridge Bitter and while it was taking ages to settle, the head barman came across and said, order another drink, and take that for no charge. The he told the other barman to turn the tap around saying, we can't sell that to customers. That is a good way to run a bar. FARUPNORTH - 25 Oct 2010 12:52 |
| A decent range of ales,quick service and only £1.80pint for real ale. huge looking place from the exterior but not so big on the inside but a great interior all the same. Only thing that spoilt it was 11pm closing on bank holiday sunday. 8/10 fat_beer_badger - 10 Jul 2010 21:42 |
| Building & interior are something special plasterwork is remarkable. Food is average Wetherspoons & the beer can be quite good BUT the staff training is abyssmal. Not that they're not pleasant but some of the bar staff can't even recognise when a barrel has gone off. Several times I was offered vinegar. Get the training in place to serve a good pint and this would be an exceeding good pub. beerslurper - 3 Jun 2009 17:40 |

| Decent beer at very decent prices. Lovely old ex-bank biulding. Food not too bad but a hell of a treck to the bogs. has a reputation for being full of rowdy chavs spoiling for a fight as close to Pittodrie and the highrises. Marags - 15 Jan 2009 17:54 |
