K-9 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Where do you think it is then?Wrong forum. But many candidates around the town. Dancing Cairns would surely have been up there before it closed. Link to comment
K-9 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 The Byron in Northfield?Used to be really bad but not nowadays. Wouldn't bother me walking in there for a pint but many other places would. Quite a few bars in Torry for example. A few in Woodside and Tillydrone also. Link to comment

Guest Stoney Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Olden days the windmill was a scary place to be some nights.

stonefish100 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Broadsword in Tilly and that one on George Street I cant remember the name of right now. Link to comment
K-9 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 524 is very rough. Grew up in 570 just up road and used to see fights every single night!! Central Bar (Northern Lights now) in Woodside must be up there. You just don't go in there if you are an outsider!! Link to comment

Guest Stoney Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Broadsword in Tilly and that one on George Street I cant remember the name of right now. Never seen any bother in the broadsword since the new lad took over 2 years back used to be a bit wild tho Link to comment
stonefish100 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Aye 524 is the very one, jesus that place is mental. Link to comment
zig-a-zig-ah Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Tonik is pretty mental :thumbs: Link to comment
Ernie McGarr's Slippers Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 The complementary olives on the bar at The Albyn are absolutely horrid. And sometimes, at the weekend, you get some awfully common types stopping off on their way from The Dutch Mill to the Soul Bar. Link to comment
OddJob Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Murdos in its day (before the refurbishment). the Polis were always breaking up fights there. especially when the Footie was on. Remember being there for the infamous '99 old firm game when the Huns won the league and they did that stupid ill-advised huddle at the end. was a f*ckin riot when the 3rd goal went in.

ZeroTolerance Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Been a while since I was out and about in Aberdeen but two I remember being pretty rough were the Seaton Arms and martin's Bar on King Street. Link to comment
The Proclaimer Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Local bars are always the same, if you go in and act like a tw*t, someone will kick sh*t out of you, but if you just go in for a drink and act normal you won't get any sh*t from anyone. Murdo's (my local for years) and the Summerfield Lodge were pretty scary places at times. The Byron, Double Two, Three Lums and Dancing Cairns are a couple of others that spring to mind. Think I've been in every bar listed so far, and I've seen sh*t kick off in all of them, but the only one I've really wanted to leave after being in was the 524. Oh, and the White Horse is the least scariest pub in Aberdeen. Has the Red Lion on The Spital not got a bit of a reputation as well now? Link to comment
The Proclaimer Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Theres only 1 White Horse!!!! THATS IN BALMEDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Outsiders beware. Link to comment
The Proclaimer Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 You even old enough to drink? Link to comment
ZeroTolerance Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Has the Red Lion on The Spital not got a bit of a reputation as well now? Surely not They even used to let students out alive. Link to comment
The Proclaimer Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I wouldn't call it off topic at all. We're discussing pubs, and since you have to be over 18 to be in a pub.......I was merely asking to find out if you were a legal age to drink, because if not.......it's illegal for you to be in this thread Find me a law that states an under 18 cannot read a forum thread about pubs? To answer your question, yes, I am old enough to drink. Out of curiousity, what's your choice of tipple Robo? Link to comment
The Proclaimer Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 A pint of any beer thats worth drinking. Carlsberg preferably, followed by many tequilas afterwards. What kind of tequila? Surely not They even used to let students out alive. Could be a jackanory, but I was told that the place is rough as f*ck now. Not been in there in years right enough Link to comment
DonCurlyHorny Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 524?? I got chased out of there years ago by 2 guys with pool cues! I bought a pint and had about one sip when I hear "He's f*ckin' old bill" I've never necked a pint so fast in my puff! When I tried to leave two guys started swinging their cues at me! Been in since. They've got a big hole knocked in their wall for ventilation to let out the smell of weed! Usually 2 dogs the size of ponies roaming about the bar quite randomly! 1 Link to comment
