Love the fact that Aberdeen has this traditional pub with some beautiful features. Huge selection of drinks, especially whisky if you like it. Great to see some more mature bar staff serving and all staff are friendly, professional and know all about the drinks. I got a little bottle of prosecco which was lovely. Whilst we were sitting down next to the door, we had some friendly interesting characters join us for a chat and at one point we were joined by a stag party of 10 men.
