About This Pub
Ah, Grays Inn – it's one of those pubs that really captures that classic British charm, tucked away on the edge of Aberdeen. I have to say, what stands out most is the welcoming vibe; the staff are absolute gems, always up for a chat and making you feel right at home, which gives it this lovely community spirit that's hard to beat. It's spot on for catching the big games too – whether it's football, rugby, or other events, they've got the screens and the buzz to make it exciting. Plus, being family and dog-friendly adds to the appeal; it's a great place to pop in for a pint or a relaxed meal with friends. On the downside, though, the food has had mixed reviews – some folks raved about it, but others found it underwhelming, with a few ordering mishaps via the app that left them a bit frustrated. Still, if you're after good drinks, a friendly atmosphere, and some lively events, it's worth a visit; just maybe keep expectations in check for the grub and plan ahead for busier times.

Couldn't get more "British pub" atmosphere if you tried.
Very "community feeling" vibes, lovely friendly staff.
Very genuine.
As for the food... You're probably best just sticking to drinks.
Venue was very busy, with football fans watching the TV but atmosphere was very good. We were in for lunch and was seated immediately. We were advised that there were no traditional Sunday lunches available but that gave us a chance to try the rest of the menu. Ordered on the app and food arrived very quickly considering how busy it was. No complaints from my friend and I about the quality. We stayed for couple of hours after our meal. Overall a really nice experience and one we'll be doing again soon.
Always a good vibe in the pub. Food arrived promptly as usual. Staff very friendly and nothings too much to ask for.
Nice atmosphere, ok service, food at least in our experience was not good at all.
We placed order on the app but nothing happened, so I went to the bar and was told they are not used to the order from the app. And didn’t have the beer I ordered.
We went there cuz we were craving for a burger and they were the first showing up on trip advisor. The burger was dry, burnt and with no taste, not even salt. I would probably go back to Watch a game or drink with friends but I don’t think I would eat there again and definitely won’t order online.
Food very good and prices reasonable. Every day promotions for different sets. Nice atmosphere and service. The place has been refreshed, you can spend your time pleasantly.
