Amazing pub/restaurant!! Favorite of our whole trip to Scotland (family from California). The star…read moreof our experience was the staff. The night before being able to eat there, we walked in rather late, having drove into town about 8:30. Sadly the kitchen was closed; while huddled up outside trying to find a place to eat, two gentlemen staff came outside, eager to help us find somewhere to eat - their suggestions made sure we did not go hungry! Sad, I didn't get their names, one was the bartender and it was on a busy trivia night. We returned the next night and made the dinner service- it was spectacular! Yolanda was our main server and she was epic! Fun, engaging but attentive with other guests as well. The other staff were wonderful in helping us at the bar, serving, etc. The food was top drawer - best steak pie I had in Scotland! Wonderful flavor (I can always use a touch more seasoning tho), the gravy spoke for itself, tender, juicy meat, flaky pastry. So good!!! Next time we'll sit in the more classic pub-decorated area, the largely restaurant-feel area was cozy and homey, quieter. Both great places to spend time- though it was a bit jarring to have very different rooms adjoined with no barrier. On the short list to return when we visit again.

Had a great meal here! Wife had a great stir fry and I had Scampi and chips - but the best was the…read moreSticky Toffee Pudding! We were glad we didn't share it!!

It is just a relaxed pub on most days, with a quiz night on Mondays, with plenty of TVs showing futball and cricket. A long bar along the right as you walk in, tables scattered about. A cozy layout, with personable and fun bartenders. They have their own house pub beer, Rabbies, which is just a nitro Bitter. They also have a cask of Timothy Taylor Landlord. Which is not in particularly good shape, but still good on them for caring cask. A handful of Scotches available. All in all just a nice chill spot for a pint, or a dram.

A perfectly cozy, dark, moody pub in the corner of Aberdeen's city centre…read more Been in for a pint and few times, and I just love the nooks that you can find to enjoy your beer (or cocktail) and conversation in. Illicit Still is definitely not trying to be anything it isn't, and it isn't calling to a flashy or young audience, but if you're in Aberdeen and looking for an authentic British pub experience, you'll enjoy it here. The location, across from the townhouse was very convenient to where I used to live on Schoolhill, and it's easy to get to from anywhere in the city centre. With the recent construction and changes to and around Broad St, the pub is even more visible and might get higher traffic. Now that I've said that, I'm curious if it is! Definitely worth a revisit!

The light in the gents' cubicle wasn't working and the toilet-roll holder was empty so one had to rely on a roll sans cardboard that was on the floor.
