Northern Bar in Aberdeen

Ah, the Northern Bar – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a second home, you know? Tucked away on George Street in Aberdeen, it's been around since 1839, serving up that classic community vibe with a modern twist. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff are the real stars here; they're incredibly friendly and make every visit feel special, whether you're popping in for a quick pint or settling in for the pub quiz. The food is another highlight – think delicious steaks, fresh ingredients, and generous portions that won't break the bank, with drinks priced just right for a midweek treat. They've got all sorts going on, like live sports screenings for events such as the Women's Euros, plus quizzes and music nights that keep things entertaining. It's dog-friendly with a beer garden to boot, so it's great for a casual day out. On the flip side, there was a mention of some past hiccups that put a few people off, but it sounds like they've turned things around with the new crew. Also, if you're an early riser, you might find the serving starts a bit late, and it's not the bargain basement option, so it could add up on a big sesh. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone in Aberdeen looking for a welcoming spot to unwind – I'd say give it a go and see for yourself!
