Grill pub in Aberdeen

“Great wee pub. Much nicer inside than its location would lead you to expect.”

“Finally threw a few darts...nice student pub, nice staff, incredible whiskey selection. Delicious snacks like fish&chips, and chicken wing, good time had. Worth a visit.”

“A great place for food and drinks in Aberdeen. Friendly staff and great service. The ambiance is really good. The only small thing is that it was a bit noisy but hey it's great to see places busy and filled with people.”

“I enjoyed my meal on Sunday but I found the service bizarre. In retrospect, I wonder if we had done anything wrong. I am not sure when we arrived, but it might have been after three when they have stopped serving. My partner, who I know can be very difficult, asked the chef serving behind the Carvery, if she could have a Vegan meal. He agreed a special price for her, for just vegetables. I was given a special price, for only having a single carvery course. The problem came when we wanted to choose a table. The Sunday Girl initially insisted that we could only have a table in which the cutlery was laid out. We eventually had a table by a window which was much lighter. The extra work involved moving a knife and fork. At this point, my partner decided she did not want anything at all. So she left me on my own, which I was quite happy about. I was feeling hungry and I had wanted to eat at the Porterhouse for a long time. So far, so good. I enjoyed my meal. When I finished I stood by the entrance to pay. The Sunday Girl pointedly ignored me and chatted with her colleagues at the bar. I walked over to the bar to pay. I was presented with a bill for two people by the Sunday Girl. When I protested, the chef reduced this by half. A lot of people find these confrontations surprisingly unpleasant.”

“First time here last night for a friend's birthday meal. The food was excellent and we had attentive service from our waiter. The food was reasonably priced and our per person cost included lots of drinks & service tip!! Our table was from 4 - 7pm and then we reserved the area in their bar for a few drinks afterwards. Great place and I'll definitely be back.”

“What a fantastic place! Visited this weekend with a small group of friends for lunch a drinks. The menu is fantastic and so accommodating for Gluten-free customers. Food was incredible and cocktails were lovely! The service was brilliant and we look forward to visiting again. Thank you.”

“Everything was fab apart from no air con in the hotel/ it wasn’t working. I would however stay here again.”

“Made welcome . They had McEwans export on tap at a very reasonable price. Loved all the paintings of customers in the bar I will have to try their menu one day. Definitely go back for another visit. Harry”

“Loved our visit to the Northern Bar in Aberdeen. Our server Sam made recommendations of food and drink that were thoroughly enjoyed. Clean pub, great atmosphere, food & drinks were affordable and tasty. We will be back!”

“We enjoyed a lovely family meal here tonight, there were 15 of us. The service was very fast served by lovely staff. And our food was so nice, soup, main, and Haggis bon bons, and pudding, everyone really had a such great time. Big Compliments to the chef.”

“Lovely place I stumbled upon by chance whilst cycling through Aberdeen. Great coffee and food is decent. No complaints!”

“Love this pub. Great old school vibe and good Scottish beers on tap. Would recommend a pint or three when visiting Newmachar.”

“Great range of crafting stock, nice staff too, very helpful”

“Well stocked for a smaller bar. Best thing about Wagleys has to be the most patient and friendly staff we experienced in our time in Aberdeen.”

“Hidden gem! Great Guinness and service Also has a pool table and darts”

“I visited here on an open mic poetry night and I loved it. I'm quite an awkward person so I pushed myself to go out myself to experience this and the bar staff made me feel very welcome throughout the night. It was great getting to listen to everyone's creative efforts and the environment was cosy and friendly. It's great to see venues supporting creative endeavours”

“This is the first time we have been to Vovem since their re-opening recently. Their team is solid, from host to bar to service, we had a wonderful experience. Servers are knowledgeable and well-spoken. We were sat near the kitchen which was nice to observe, but perhaps a little loud due to traffic of servers walking by, that did not affect the experience. Food was good and well-priced.”

“Lovely place to watch football with beer. Very kind staffs and a number of large screens. There are pool table, darts, and some playing machines. One thing you might need to keep in your mind - the kitchen’s last order for foods is 7:45pm, so be there earlier than that if you would like to bite some chips.”

“I came up to Aberdeen for the day and stopped by this pub for some food and some drinks, the staff were fantastic especially Tracey. She was really awesome, attentive and friendly. Made me feel really welcome there. would definitely come back again.”

“Great time meeting up with friends, nice food :)”

“One of the top Irish bars in Aberdeen! Visited here recently with family for some Christmas drinks, shout-out to the lovely and friendly barmaid Amy, who poured me my first pint of Guinness! Will definitely be back.”

“Walked down to OGV Taproom at the golf club tonight for an early dinner. Lovely fish & chips, polite & friendly service. Recommended”

“The best place for you and your mates to unwind and have a great time. The service is top notch 100 percent. Met a few good folks.”

“Food was amazing and best of all dog friendly. Brought a water bowl for my dogs. Service was great. Ended up going on both days for dinner and lunch!!”

“First time in 41 years since I've been here. Very busy bar with great atmosphere. Friendly bar. Service was great by Neil, Lewis and a wee waitress(michelle) running around. Great pub food served hot. Lots of tv screens and pool tables. Excellent.”

“Great place for a few cocktails and a catch up where you actually talk without music blaring in the background. Staff were also polite and helpful”

“Really great place. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Cheap food that’s really filling and good quality. Great selection of cocktails. Highly recommended.”

“Aberdeen institution. Great working man's bar during the day. Live music at the weekend, and probably a slightly younger crowd. Lovely staff, and good atmosphere. No nearby parking though. Recommended”

“Food was lovely, we had a great time. Only confusion was online Christmas menu said 1 bottle of house wine per 4 people with meal, if booked in advance but when speaking to waitress wine was not being offered .We did get a bottle of wine. ( maybe you need to update menu online)”

“Classic Spoons in the best way possible. I prefer real ale and it's always fantastic with a great range of choices here. Food is always on time and hot. This is a quality Spoons worth a visit.”
