The Grill in Aberdeen

Oh, you know, The Grill in Aberdeen is one of those pubs that just feels like a proper gem – it's been around since 1870, and you can really sense that history as soon as you step inside. I love how they've got this incredible selection of whiskies; whether you're after a classic scotch or something more adventurous, it's all there, and the staff are so chuffed to help you pick something you'll enjoy. The atmosphere is spot on too – warm, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed chat with mates or even a solo tipple. It's smack in the middle of things, making it easy to pop in before or after a show at the nearby theatre. On the flip side, though, the food options are a bit on the slim side; it's more about the drinks here, so if you're hungry, you might need to head elsewhere or check if they've got anything going. And it does get lively when there's events on, which is great for the buzz but not ideal if you're after a peaceful evening. All in all, it's a fantastic spot for whisky enthusiasts, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area – just go with the right expectations, and you'll have a cracking time.
