About This Pub
Oh, Woodend Bar is one of those places that just feels like a proper local haunt, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome – think warm smiles and a good chat that turns strangers into mates in no time. The atmosphere is spot on too, with that cosy wooden decor creating a really inviting space for sinking into a pint after a long day or gathering for a laugh. It's especially brilliant for those casual get-togethers or even impromptu celebrations, where the vibe just pulls you in for one more round. On the flip side, the hours can be a bit of a downer if you're after something that runs into the evening, as it tends to close up fairly early, and without an online presence, you might find yourself winging it a tad when planning a visit. All in all, it's a solid choice for a feel-good night out, with that high rating speaking volumes about what they do right, but it's worth keeping those little niggles in mind to set your expectations.

I was up in Aberdeen watching the premier league darts last month. We couldn't get a taxi back to the hotel. So we started walking. My uncle has a really bad leg so we decided to pop into the woodend. What a great atmosphere, the staff and the people were really friendly. Was asked if they could try and call a taxi but they couldn't get through to any. They heard us talking about my uncles leg being bad. So the owners said they would get us back to the hotel. Times like that restores your faith in people. Thank you very much. We will definitely be popping in next time we are in Aberdeen.
Just popped in for a pint and stayed for a few more.. Great atmosphere..
"Personally, my experience at the wooden bar was delightful. The cozy atmosphere and well-crafted wooden decor created a charming backdrop for a memorable evening. The owners were friendly and welcoming, adding a personal touch to the overall experience.
As for the meals, they exceeded expectations. The menu showcased a thoughtful selection of dishes, each highlighting quality ingredients and exquisite flavours. From appetizers to main courses, every bite was a testament to the culinary expertise of the chefs. The wooden bar not only offers a great ambience but also an exceptional dining experience, making it a must-visit."
Tradition dictates than when one of our number leaves or retires, we send them on their way from this location.
So it was the other night. A grand time had by all thanks to the ladies behind the bar and their vast stock of giggling fluid.
Richard and Gail are not only good people but good friends. They run a tight ship and every local walking in are met with a smile, banter and made to feel like family.
Undoubtably one of the friendliest and fun pubs I have yet to frequent.
Well done guys.
