The menu for the food is cool, some really nice sharing food available. We particularly enjoyed the halloumi and piri piri chic skewer with sweet potato fries. The four cheese macaroni was delicious. Excellent professional and friendly service with a smile. Atmosphere is very relaxed and cool. No rushing you to finish and move out. Good choice for lunch with cocktails after a spot of shopping. Will definitely be back. Thanks

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!

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.

Went there at 1:00 to meet friends. Our age group had been going to the PoW pub for 40-50 years…read more We had main meals and later on we had some snacks as well as our beers. At around 9:00 we were told that we were being cut off (no more service). So I asked the management: Had we been rude? No. Had we upset other customers? No. Were any of our party of four staggering around and overly intoxicated? No. So why were we cut off? "We have a duty of care - company rules". Ok. Understood. But what duty of care is required for people who are not overly intoxicated? "It's just the rules. Thanks for your custom. See you soon". No you won't, Prince of Wales. After 40-50 years, we won't be back. This is a sad day.

But this place is definitely worth checking out, especially if you are in town and are looking for a quality meal, in a nice, laid back environment. There are several little bistro style restaurants in the city, however, none of them are as well priced as this little gem. The food is a fusion of French/European with some Scottish influences here and there. The menu changes all the time depending what is in season. Just the way it should be really! The staff were really good on the night, quick service and professional. A rare occurrence also, that for once, in Aberdeen, I did not feel ripped off . Great value for money, I will be back!

This place has such a good potential and great location, but I would classify it the same as the…read moreDutchmill restaurant on the Queens road close by. Again taking the advantage of no big competition around this area. ATMOSPHERE is very cosy and the SERVICE is usually great and fast. The only thing is, the FOOD - is more likely pub food with the west end restaurant prices.. We have been there few times (due to its location around our house pretty much) and never had something we would think 'oh wow that was good'. Rather than it was OK, but nothing spectacular. I would not go for their lunch menu again, however. The pasta I had was nothing better than the prepared one from the coop around the corner, reheated in the microwave =( So for me - not great value for money, unless you just need something fast close by - for the convenient location. For great pub/restaurant food we rather take a bike and go to the Lairhillock Inn. Still, good place to pop in for an evening drink

We were a group of 6 visiting from California, fresh off the boat, as it were. Grand old pub look, low ceiling, old beams, etc. A few modern items were a bit out of place and didn't blend but keeping up with the times I suppose. The food was good, more adequate than outstanding. It didn't measure to a few other pubs we went to. The food took a really long time, I think was very busy for them, kept hearing on their walkies that they ran out of certain main items (like chicken!! ). The bartenders answered some questions but honestly seemed bothered we were there, and frankly maybe bothered that they were working. Both were often sitting behind the bar scrolling on their phones, and seemed put out when someone approached for a drink. Not the business's fault but despite our effort to be respectful of the space we received several glares and dirty looks from other patrons. We weren't loud and certainly weren't saying anything disrespectful, it gave me the same feel as the staff - that we were intruding on their space. Possibly, this is a locals only pub in the middle of town?? Not likely a place we would return to eat - maybe give it another go as a later-evening pub experience.
