Aberdeen Stag

daytripping · February 21, 2013

Done a few of the pubs on the number 17 route.
Back in the day when the Auchmill Inn was on the go.

My flat was about 20 steps from there, was a not bad place, the function rooms were good for night outs as well, shame it closed. The snooker club is another that still remains empty, must be 20 years now, would love to see inside.

Do a no 17 bus pub crawl. Start in Dyce and get on bus towards town - get day ticket.

Passes by Woodend Bar, Bankhead Inn, Four Mile, Cloverleaf, Staging Post, The White Horse, The Crown, The Northern Lights, Fountain Bar, Northern Hotel, Kittybrewster Bar, 524 Cocktail Bar, Butchers Arms, The Northern Bar, Coopers, Mither Tap, Balaclava and then your into town!!

Some of Aberdeen's finest in that lot to choose from and many walking distance from each other.

Could be something to do some saturday, would be a wreck by the final stop.

We done a bus tour round wee towns/villages in Fife for my mates stag, started in Edinburgh and crossed the bridge and visited shitholes like Cowdenbeath, Lochgelly, Burntisland, Dunfermline etc. Sounds shite on paper, but was one of the best staggers I've ever been on.

Jesus fuk, seen a few mentions of Pearl, dont send the poor loon there, total shithole full of underage wankers from Kincorth, Northfield and Torry.

Aye it's horrific.

if it was a horse it'd be put down (and made into burgers).

Was quality when it was ministry, free buses from Hillhead on Mon/Wed straight there and back

This thread has been a harrowing reminder of how pish the nightlife is in Aberdeen.

Seen a few mentions of Paramount :clangers2:

Jambo will have a good one anyway. Like an earlier post said, it's all about who rather than where. Went to Leeds for mine, and was top drawer.

It's really not. Lots of variety. Lots of bars. I enjoy it.

I'd be lucky to see the last stop.

Aye but Mini can handle 9 litres of jager dont you know?

A load of old man boozers, and shite clubs take up the bulk of the thread.

After the pubs shut, where would you go around 1230-1am? From my experience, it would take an age to get in anywhere and you'd get robbed at the door and the bar (once you eventually get there). Had some great days and evenings in Aberdeen but the nightclubs were always absolutely gash except maybe Tunnels.

So you want a non old man place but not trendy like paramount, you dont want to queue or pay to get in and you want cheap booze.... =

Espionage

Plenty non old mannie pubs in Aberdeen not mentioned on this thread.

After a pub shuts I don't know where I'd go...Espionage sometimes, Nox sometimes (although it was far better when it first opened), Exodus maybe (cheap and good music). Or the casino. Or home.

daytripping · February 22, 2013

Espionage ticks the boxes for an after pub venue, never too mobbed and good for a dunce! :dancin:

Was in there on my works night out, had a great time.

If you don't like clubs just go out drinking earlier so you never make it to closing time.

Foster14 · February 22, 2013

Pubs/Bars open later than 1:

Korova

O' Donoghues

Malones

Off the top of my head. Sure there are probably a few more.

I'd forgotten about the snooker hall.

That is a while ago.

It was a nice place, pity it folded, they shouldn't have made it members only to begin with, changed it too late.

And saying "a while ago" makes me feel old.

bruceg1978 · February 23, 2013

The 3 Lums

The Lodge

Grays Inn

Lord Byron

Murdos

White Horse

Broadsword

That would be a cracking pub crawl for a stagger.
