Worked with Lowser in my first job.

He started his career in pubs after that at The Hayloft.

How can you have got this far in life without visiting Wordies?

'Twas the Hayloft where I first knew got to know him, and my sister worked with him in Clarkies for a few years. Was a great place at one time.

@@minijc aye, quite small and thin, grey hair and 'tache

[dazzy_deff]

Wordies is a great bar. Can't believe you've not been in it til now.

[RAZOR]

I love when we're out shopping in toon and I tell the missus I need to have a look at something and sneak of to Wordies for a pint.

[Chewie37]

Used to get pissed in Wordies for a fiver......and still have change for the bus home.......fuck I'm old

[King Street Loon]

Never usually in that area to be honest but I'll make more of an effort to head there, cracking tunes on too.

Same here.

 

Regular stop off as a 15/16 yo.

 

What beers do they sell these days?

[Poodler]

Ended up in G casino last night, tragically. Place was teaming with strippers trying to fleece blokes for drinks/ money. African sort with the foul attitude. Trying to have a whisky with some black magic rubbing her tits against you wanting you to buy her drinks. Weemin. Cunts.

When I last lived in Aberdeen, Wordies had a reputation as a gay bar. I guess that's not the case these days? Another famous gay bar was Jeeves in Rosemount. What was that bar/club in Adelphi called? Me and my mate went in there one night cos you could get in with trainers and it was open after most other bars had closed. We never realised it was a gay bar and my mate wanted to batter someone just to prove he wasn't gay.

Aye that'd prove it. FFS

 

Sounds like he protested too much.

[Scrumpy]

I told him to wise up.

 

You may have a point there, never did see him with a bird......

Your boyfriend likes it rough then?

[Chewie37]

Wordies was a gay bar? Not that it matters. It was Oh Henrys in the Adelphi, we used to go there on Saturday nights before it was a gay place, think that was one of the first clubs I got into at the weekend Zig Zags and Zuu first

[ollie1903]

Wordies has never been for the benders. Not in my lifetime anyway.

[Chewie37]

Scrumpy does seem to have a bit of a gay obsession there? All I remember about Wordies was that it used to be stables, hence the horse sign

Revellers will raise a glass one last time to a pub which opened more than 100 years ago.

The East Neuk Bar on King Street will shut its doors for the last time on February 27 after the first drink was served 111 years ago in 1905.

Stuart Horne, manager at the bar, said: “The bar will close its doors for the last time at the end of the month.

“The reason for the closure is due to the downturn in the oil industry over the last 12 months.

“The drinking culture in the country has also played a big impact on the closure of the pub.”

The 28-year-old said to celebrate the last night of the pub they will hold a karaoke night.

[Bluto10]

Is that your local harcus, min?

[Henry]

No Bluto.

 

I did have several pints of lager in there after the Celtic game in September though.

[Bluto10]

Cool.

Eh? Surely the 'drinking culture' in this country should have helped keep it open.

[Henry]

I took that to mean folk maybe don't go to the pub of a weeknight for a few pints anymore.

 

And that folk would rather 'pre-drink' at home than go to a pub.

[Bluto10]

Cool thinking harcus.

The east Neuk is definitely a post home drink bar.

Aye probably right. Bluto needs to move back and save the weeknight pub trade.

Sitting at my desk at work and just had a look around the Moorings ( Krakatoa now ) by playing around on Google

street maps.

 

you can even get as far as the disabled toilet !

 

Cracking new feature

[jassb]

Anyone been in that new place across from The Stag. Used to be The Office, got a new name now. Was in there last night, decent enough. Plenty TV's when the sport is on. Good mix of 80' and 90's music. When the boxing was on, there was some guy shadow boxing throughout. Funny to see but very strange.

 

When we left looked like there was a bit of a stramash going on outside Abercrombies. Anyone there know what that was about?
