The Stag in Aberdeen

Ah, The Stag – it's one of those pubs that you stumble upon and think, 'Why haven't I been here sooner?' From what I've gathered chatting about it, the staff really shine; folks like Elle, Tony, and Ronaldo come across as proper legends, making conversations flow as smoothly as the drinks. The selection of beers is spot on, and it's clear from the buzz that it's a go-to for a relaxed pint and a laugh. That said, it's not all perfect – one chap was a bit miffed about his Guinness not being poured just right, which is a shame because it can make or break the experience for us beer enthusiasts. Still, with such a solid reputation overall, I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area, as long as you keep expectations realistic and remember it's the company and chat that often make the night.
