About This Pub

Ah, The Fountain Bar – it's one of those unpretentious places in Woodside that just feels like a proper local haunt, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff are absolute gems, always up for a laugh and making sure everyone's sorted with a top-notch pint or a bite of bar food. The atmosphere is spot on for catching up with mates or family, especially with that well-maintained pool table and a bit of entertainment to keep things lively. It's dead handy being dog-friendly with outside seating for those nicer days, and at an inexpensive price, it's easy on the wallet too. On the flip side, without a website, it's a tad frustrating if you're trying to plan ahead or get more info online. The offerings feel more everyday than exceptional, so if you're in the mood for something a bit more upscale, you might leave wanting more. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed night out – I'd say give it a go if you're in Aberdeen and after that genuine pub feel, but keep in mind it's all about the simple pleasures rather than anything too flashy.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They serve a cracking pint and some solid bar food, perfect for a relaxed afternoon or evening out.
  • It's got a great atmosphere with entertainment options like a well-kept pool table, which adds to the fun.
  • Dog-friendly with outside seating, ideal for those sunny days when you want to bring your furry friend along.
  • Being inexpensive, it's a budget-friendly spot without skimping on the good vibes.
Cons
  • No website means it's a bit tricky to check details or menus in advance, so you might have to just turn up and see.
  • The food and entertainment seem more casual rather than standout, so if you're after something fancy, it might not hit the mark.
  • Some reviews come from folks who haven't even stepped inside, which makes you wonder if it's drawing in as many dedicated visitors as it could.
