Karl Fletcher Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 It's Friday. The sun is out. And according to boofon these days I'm a raging alcoholic so I thought I would try and get an AFC-Chat Pub Guide on the go. Doesn't neccesarily need to be in Aberdeen. I'll start off with an obvious one. The jewel in Aberdeen's crown, The Grill. Great pints and a superb malt whisky selection. They also apparently have a bottle of whisky that was on the Titanic. Not sure if I believe that, though. So what's your favourite pub(s)? Link to comment
Stoney Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 One of my favourite pubs, been in there at all times during the day and night, one of the best pints in the town. I like most pubs, all have something different to offer. I like the spiders in Dyce, know most of the locals and have drank in there on and off for most of my adult like. I like the holburn, glentanar and adam / hawthorn. Link to comment

Karl Fletcher Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 The Masada is an excellent boozer. Was never out of the place when I lived in Rosemount. And they do a bus to Dandies games. Link to comment

The Boofon Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 The Masada is an excellent boozer. Was never out of the place when I lived in Rosemount. Drink problem...He's in denial. I bet he's in the bar as we speak while his wife is at home struggling to keep on top of everything. Link to comment
Karl Fletcher Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Only sad pricks would be on AFC Chat while sitting in the pub. Link to comment
tup Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 And he certainly fits the sad prick criteria. 2 Link to comment

Karl Fletcher Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Same everywhere in town I suppose. The Stag is a good pub but £3.25 a pint, jeezo. Think you're something like £3.05 in the Grill. Does anywhere in town do pints under £2.80 these days? Dutch Mill is £3.80 or something Link to comment
Foster14 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Each to their own. Things like karaoke (fuck off) and that put me off a pub. Crap pint in my experience. Probably at the top end of Z list, but would never go there unless in a larger group and that is the consensus. Forgot Monkey House of my original Z list as well... Link to comment
jassb Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Does anywhere in town do pints under £2.80 these days?£2.20 for a pint of Tennents in The Foundry if you want a cheap pint. Justice Mill and Archibald Simpsons around that too but I don't go there so couldn't be certain. Link to comment
granite sheep Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Foundry isnae a bad pub. Worst pub for me has got to be the Brewdog, whilst I'm quite partial to the beer, the place is run and inhabited by pretentious wankers. It was better when it was the Mariscal Bar. Have the expectation that the new place 6°n just down the road will be exactly the same. 1 1 Link to comment
