We ordered a drink to start which was the Bacon Maple Old Fashioned, which was lovely and I would have ordered another if there wasnt so many different cocktails to try on the menu. For food we ordered the Philli Cheesesteak each with sweet potato fries and wagon wheel onion rings to share. Food came quickly and there was a lot of it, it was well prepared and tasted amazing. I could have eaten another of the cheesesteak but instead I filled myself up with more cocktails. I would recommend the milkshakes, we tried the boozy brulada and chocolate salty balls and they did not disapoint. We ended our visit with two other cocktails, the taste the rainbow and caramel jack (which was my partners but wish I had gotten for myself). The staff were friendly and never had you waiting for long to be served. Next time I visit Aberdeen I will be heading back here, just wish there was one in Glasgow.

The food here is great, and it is also pretty reasonably priced for the sort of fare you are served. Courses aren't too huge, which means you can try a few (guessing this is why they are reasonably priced) I have tried quite a few things on the menu and usually ask for a variation of a cocktail i like, as an accompaniment, from the bar staff, who are all very good at putting a slightly different twist on something you are used to. The music is never too loud, or obvious, which is also good, and they keep the numbers down at the weekends to ensure the customers inside aren't too crowded. This place is a step in the right direction for Aberdeen.

This was one of the…read morecoolest spots we visited in Aberdeen - it's got delicious beers, a great atmosphere, super-friendly staff and pretty decent grub too. We headed here after the football. We actually left the football a little early (I mean, who could predict that Aberdeen would score a goal in extra time?! Oops) so we got here and grabbed a beer and a seat. There wasn't a huge football crowd here later on so don't go thinking it's a football pub, it definitely isn't. It's got more of a hipster vibe - guys playing jenga in the pub on a Saturday afternoon - but in a charming way. There's a great list of beers on the wall and it's easy to see prices, which ones are available and aren't etc. We both went for the Bottle Cap IPA at £5.20 a pint which was just delicious. We had about an hour to kill before our dinner booking and as I am ever-hungry, ordered a portion of chicken strips. The guy behind the bar did some epic upselling and we added on cheesy garlic bread for just £1.50. He was super friendly and chatty, and recommended a bar to us for after dinner as well as a cocktail which we were pretty impressed by. The food wasn't anything out of this world, but it was tasty, generous portions and a great price. All up, this is somewhere I'd definitely head back to as soon as I go back to Aberdeen.

We had the chateaubriand with a few drinks and a couple starters. Everything was absolutely sterling, and the steak was almost a religious experience. Absolutely tender, perfectly grilled, and impeccably seasoned. The menu was large and diverse, the staff knowledgeable and friendly, and the atmosphere was surprisingly classy and romantic. I loved the decor, I loved the live pianist, and I loved the ambiance with the lighting and the candles. My husband said it was his favorite restaurant in town, and I'll have to agree. Can't wait to go back.

Interesting set up. Has a patio out back. First impressions in the bar part were a little so so but the lounge part put that to rest and it was full and people were ordering meals. Standard fare but inexpensive. Beers on tap reasonable. Decore average. Seems popular with a mix of locals. I would go back.

Surprised to see Indian dishes on the menu - it was a first for me to see Indian food in an English Pub. And the food was awesome - probably the best Indian food I have had during my visits to UK.. The chicken tikka masala was a wonderful - nice rich silky smooth gravy with succulent pieces of chicken. The pilaf was just right with it. Northern Bar has great daily specials - go for them. Drinks are reasonably priced and the service is friendly and quick.

My brother booked a table here for dinner as he loved the burger last time he had been in. On arrival the waitress gave us an option of two tables and said the one further away would be next to a large party of 8. So we opted for the quieter table. For a Wednesday in the middle of January the place was quite full. There are large tables round a fire near the bar which would be lovely for some drinks or coffee during the day. The menu changes quite often according to my brother, based on ingredients and seasonality which is always a good thing. I had some incredible yoghurt and chickpea falafels. My brother ate his 3 scallops before the plate was practically put down, I then scoffed his bulgur wheat. Mum loved her salmon. For main I had seabass with potato gnocchi was light and well seasoned. The burger my brother had was definitely homemade with a serious amount of meat put into it! I shared the STP with Mum, because you can't turn down an STP ever.

Though not nearly as stuffy as that sounds. Walk down the flight of steps and into the bar area. They use the lighting well because as you walk in everything is bright and open. Polished granite bar with the tap towers right in front. They will have a cask every once in a while. I think it is always something from Timothy Taylor. A small, but nice scotch selection of various Duncan Taylor offerings. Some booths in the bar area, then a dinning area towards the back. Very open and modern. The exposed, ancient granite walls is a perfect counter to the modern set up of the place as well. The service is always friendly, and for lunch they are particularly quick. Lots of business people in and out at lunch time, so they know how to keep up the ticket times. Though if you are in no rush, that is not a problem either. Open for breakfast, lunch, and diner on most days. Though closed on Mondays. Anyway, the food is excellent. Freshly prepared and locally sourced. The menu changes with the seasons and with what is available. Wild Mushroom Risotto, hell yes. The rib eye and steaks are great, when they have smoked salmon that is a no brainer. So fresh and flavorful. A great place to have a meal, and a drink. Enjoy your time here, then head on down Queens Terrace to No 10 Tavern for a great little pub. Which is exactly what I usually do when I stop by here.
