   No food unfortunately and sort of meh all around. Not bad but I’d hoped for a cool charming pub

   Very poor place of a pub. Ordered a Birra Morretti on arrival and was told they would need to change the barrel by unfriendly bar staff. I told him not to go to the trouble as he made it clear that's what it would be and oereded a Stella for me and a McEwans Export for my guest. About half way through, we both agreed our drinks did not taste as they should and handed them back to the bar staff who was sitting watching the TV (still not changing that barrel) Atmosphere was locals playing darts and a selection of strange individuals. Clearly an establishment for locals only. Prices were reasonable but given they either don't clean the taps or they water down the drinks I can't recommend. Even any locals reading this should take note that they are being fleeced. Went to the Bobbins round the corner and had a much nicer time.

   Nice pub which is great for watching things such as football and other sports with a large amount of big TVs. The only downside would be a small selection of beers were available when I last went.

   A lovely looking and beautifully restored Edwardian pub. Good selection of beers. It's quite small and cosy. Staff are good. The bar manager dealt very well with the students who were around who were too drunk to be served. Close to the University, it's good to see that everyone can coexist in the bar. I imagine it's quieter during the week. Sports on TV and support for Aberdeen F.C. Worth a visit.

   One of the best bars in Aberdeen. All the staff and customers are so friendly and welcoming. So nice to see a place which has such a lovely mix of students and locals who all get along so well. If you are a student, from Aberdeen or just visiting the Red Lion needs to be on your visiting list!

   Go here on Subday evenings for a folk song "open mic" evening 6pm till 10pm. Bring your instrument and the songs you know.... and money for your beer.
