About This Pub

Ah, Wilson's Sports Bar in Aberdeen – it's one of those places that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this brilliant energy, especially with live music and events lighting up the weekends; it's the sort of spot where you can really get into the swing of things and enjoy a good laugh. The staff come across as genuinely friendly and attentive, and the beer selection is spot on, offering a nice variety that keeps things interesting. Plus, it's a great way to soak up that authentic Aberdeen vibe, chatting with the regulars and all. On the downside, though, it does tend to get absolutely heaving at times, which means service can drag a bit when they're short on hands behind the bar. And let's be honest, the place might not be the most polished – it has that lived-in look that some love and others might find a bit tired. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're after a lively pint with mates, but maybe plan for off-peak if you want a smoother go of it.

It might be a dive, and it might have some interesting characters, but it's always a welcoming place. Service can be slow when busy, but when you have 1 barperson on and everyone arrives at the same time, what can you expect? I'd recommend if only to get a flavour of Aberdeen!!

"I recently visited Wilson's Sports Bar, and it was a mixed experience. The atmosphere was lively, and the music was really good, which added to the vibe. However, I found the place to be a bit rundown. The staff was friendly and attentive. I enjoyed the variety of drinks on the menu and Even though it got crowded during peak hours, I’d still consider coming back for the good music and drinks.
