Whisky Galore Oh…read moreboy, if you know your Scottish Cities and their Pubs then you will know what I mean when I say the Grill is to Aberdeen what that Horseshoe is to Glasgow and The Guildford (Or Café Royal, or Bow Bar) is to Edinburgh. And for those of you who don't know your Scottish Cities and their Pubs, allow me to clarify - It's ICONIC!! So, things you need to know, firstly they are rumoured to have the largest Whisky selection in Scotland (RUMOURED). I mean it is ridiculous, I'm sure if a fire started here it would blow up half of Union Street and said explosion could be seen from the Moon. So if you like your Whisky then this is a must visit pub. Secondly, this pub is older than you will ever be, My dad drank here when he was 5, and now he is 80, and people drank there before he was born. It's so old that they had to install ladies toilets a while back as there weren't any - and ladies are allowed to drink alongside men these days! Lastly, it might look like a dump outside, but don't mistake dump for character. This has more character than Monty Python. The floor clearly used to be strewn with sawdust back in the days, and some of the staff have seen more than their fair share of breakfasts - but that all adds to the experience. The experience here is guaranteed to be memorable for all the right reasons!

It is bloody long. The bar is also bloody long. By the way, it is pub and not a Grill. They decided to turn it from a restaurant to a pub around 1900 and never got around to changing the name. Let us get down to the essentials. This is about whisky and pilgrims and Scotland and finding places with a lot of bottles of the aforementioned. Well the Grill has it. 500 bottles. Let that number sink in. One dram a day. After spending a year performing that activity and you have not finished. They have some of the oldest drams on sale anywhere in the world - a 1938 Macallan, Several 1930 Malts and the legendary Black Bowmore. Voted in "Bar of the Year" in 2008 by Whisky Magazine and staffed with folks with Whisky expertise. If you do not like Whisky, then grab an ale and soak in the amazing architecture of this place. CAMRA has named this place as the most northerly Scottish "Pub Interior of Outstanding Historic Interest". So much to offer, you cannot lose by visiting this place. Pilgrims Ho!

This has always been seen as an old mans pub by my generation but i don't think this is entirely accurate. The pub is very nice and they always seem to have offers on the drinks making it more desirable for everyone. The food is very nice and it's also cheap to go along with the drinks. They advertise football games regularly and they seem to show every sky game going. The tv is widescreen so there's no trouble seeing what's going on. If you're slightly older i would definately recommned a visit.

The waiters are a bit slow, and they do not pay attention when you call them, but in general I had a good time. I had the bacon and chicken chiabatta, and I would have been very happy with it, if my bacon was crispy on its fat and it was a bit warmer. The chips served with it however, were really nice - makes a difference when almost everywhere in UK the chips are half fried... prices were more than ok happy to go back. Oh! I forgot to mention that it was packed during lunch time, and that made it a bit noisy, but bearable. It has very clean toilets, and they smell nice. Did not also like the fact that when I entered the place there was a dog inside where the bar area is...

The wine is lovely and there are real ales on tap. Through to the restaurant area, it is nicely decorated, warm and spacious with another fire. The service is attentive and friendly and the menu changes regularly and has lovely hearty food all at reasonable prices. I can particular recommend the burger - although the wedges are spicy! All in all, a lovely bar and restaurant, worth the drive out of town for. There is plenty of parking and it is kid friendly. I hope you like it as much as I do!

We ordered drinks and a side order of onion rings as a starter. The waitress seemed concerned as ordering a starter would delay our food. I guess having an appetizer is uncommon? We also ordered their special which was two entrees for $15.95. We had the fish cakes that came with salad and sour cream and the BBQ chicken with cheese and fries. All of the food was tasty.

Definitely overall disappointing visit at the oldest pub in Aberdeen. Few things to consider when…read moreeating here: - You can either order in person at the bar, or download the app and while it's quicker to order, it's iffy on whether or not the app works for you to even order from (the app didn't work for me, so I had to order with my sister-in-law's). - If you do use the app, there are more offerings on there than the paper menu. For instance, haggis is on the app menu, but not the paper menu. - If you want to expedite the visit, order ALL your dishes together and do NOT mark your starters to come early. If you do order the starter to come early, then it will, but they won't start cooking the entree until after the starter has been delivered. The dessert comes after the entree / starter regardless. - Even if you don't have a wait to seat, you will probably wait for your order. From start to finish and ordering a starter, main, and dessert, our visit took nearly 3 hours. I ended up canceling and being refunded the dessert because it took too long. As for the meal, my fish in the fish & chips was overcooked and oily, and that tasted dominated the entire dish. The haloumi was fine, but the crispy batter took away from the flavor of the cheese. The only good dish was the sticky toffee, which is good with the custard.
