Called only The Wig now. Visited twice. Had a keg pint of Caledonian Rare Red here the first time, a couple other keg beers the second time. Unfortunately no cask ales available any more. Not a place to search out, but nice enough to pop in for a pint.

Now renamed the Wig Bar & Kitchen.
This pub sits back from the road at the corner of Union St and King St.
Regular modernised interior, friendly welcome, my pint of IPA was £3.50 which I thought was a tad steep.
Only 1 ale on tap which was fine.
Football on the tele's but on mute.
No food served on a Sunday though the menu says "food served everyday"

Been a while since I was in here and last time they had about half a dozen hand pulls all reasonably kept. Last night, went in to get out of the rain and cos I could hear a band playing. The ban were dreadfull and too loud and the beers have gone. Settles for McEwans export which is routinely a good pint badly served. When I was handed an ice cold glass, it was bad news.

So...seems like the Wig's about to get a big new rufurb, they're trying to get it back up to standard, seems there's already a Grammy nominee coming to do a gig, think I might check them out again.

Admittedly it was the 2008 version but was saddened to find no real ale on offer after finding this place through the good beer guide. I did pick up a copy of CAMRA's "North Sea Ale" in the pub to read so obv just having a bad day i hope.I opted for a pint of Sbow(�2.40) instead. The pub itself was a nice traditional local boozer with friendly quick service, 5/10

This pub has gone downhill since the last time I visited a couple of years ago. It no longer serves any real ales, and the quality of the rest of the drinks was poor.

Was in this bar on Friday 12th December. The food was poor and the lath and plaster ceiling over the bar was in a dangerous condition. There was no heating on in the palce and it was freezing inside.
The manageress who appeared to be drunk was cheeky and smelt od BO.

Characterful little town pub with average Deuchars but worth a stop on an Aberdeen crawl.

Somewhat surpried about the comment posted 15/06/06 - I moved to Aberdeen in May and my experiences are not the same at all. I find the staff friendly,& allowing for the fact that it serves bar meals, the service is not bad. I have to agree that at least one of the staff needed prompting when a barrel of real ale needed changing. Apart from that, as I say, maybe the gentleman hit it on a bad day.
