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.

Will definitely be back. Thanks

It is a very well decorated bar (more in the trendy/hipster vein), with a speciality focus on mixed drinks. They even had flavored vodka shot flights. We started with a normal lager and cider, nothing crazy. A waiter walked by and offered us a free sampler of one of their vodka mixed drinks, so we said yes. Ended up being a whole damn drink. We certainly didn't complain. We didn't eat here, but the menu looked appetizing. They had a good two and three course meal option for a great price.

There were only a couple other tables occupied when we arrived. They sat us next to a large temple/shrine type of area where it looked like you could eat while sitting on large floor cushions at a very low table. We started with the sweetcorn cakes and were blown away by how much we loved these!! Crispy, piping hot, with a slightly sweet chili sauce for a nice kick. We considered ordering another plate of these and now I wish we had. For my entree I got the vegan pad ka prao and it was delicious. My partner tasted mine and wished he had ordered the same thing. His noodle dish was good but mine, although vegan, was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The only negative thing I have to say is that rice wasn't included in the price of my entree, so I had to order it separately. Otherwise the service was great and the food was delicious, with a clearly labeled menu of vegan options. Love that!

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!

We had to chuckle over the fact that we were trying to find a fancy Scottish restaurant originally but ended up at this American-style place instead. We hadn't seen the menus, couldn't find reviews on the place but it looked cool and inviting from the outside. A hand-painted mural of an octopus, floor-to-ceiling black curtains, funky lighting, American baseball and European football on big screens, funk music... And best of all, 50% off food on Monday nights. YES!! We ended up having "The Whale and Fries" and "Chicken Goujons." Essentially, North Sea Haddock and Chicken Breast dipped and fried in their housemade beer batter. It was pretty good. Why don't we do more beer-battered chicken in the states? They had a great drink menu too, full of craft beers and creative cocktails. I have to admit the tables were pretty grimy and some were in bad shape (foam coming out of chairs, etc). Service overall was so slow and nonchalant (good thing we had plenty of downtime!) and the manager who took our tab was in a foul mood. We couldn't really complain too much though since it was one of the few places open late that wasn't a takeaway on a Monday night. The ambience is what it is, just take your time, enjoy, don't be in a hurry if you come here. TL;DR: If you're okay taking it slow, want decent food, fun drinks and have plenty of time to hang-out then this is the place for you.

From our trip in mid July, 2016:…read more My wife and I found this wonderful craft brewer in Aberdeen! Of all the brews that we had been enjoying in the UK, Brewdog was the best! They have a wide selection of brews that have body and character to them and they even have a great gluten free beer! (Their Vagabond Pale Ale) There are very few gluten free beers that I feel are worth writing home about, and this is one of them! (On par with Omission!) I also tried their King Pin and their Jack Hammer brews. Both were delicious! The pub is fun and while it is a smaller venue, it has plenty of space and seating. The draft menus are easy to see and read and our bartender was friendly and helpful. They have some cool merchandise that follows the themes of their logos. (Bright, colorful, dark - reminds me of Tim Burton or Neil Gaiman) They also have cool looking "beer propaganda" that they market their brews and share local brew news with. They also appear to be pet friendly since we saw a dog there when we attended. The prices were on par with what I would expect for this quality of craft brewing, which might be more than what you would expect to pay for a standard pub brew. I am excited to hear that Brewdog has made it over into the States! I look forward to seeing them branch out further to the East Coast.
