Prince of Wales (Aberdeen)

One of the oldest bars in Aberdeen, the Prince of Wales has possibly the longest bar counter in the city, a friendly atmosphere and a large following of regulars. It was refurbished in late 2016 and is listed in Scotland’s True Heritage Pubs.

Under the Hammer (Aberdeen)

Located in a quiet side street near Golden Square just minutes off Union Street, this popular pub is located in a basement next to Milne’s auction house (hence the name).

Globe Inn (Aberdeen)

This convivial open plan pub serves beer from a variety of Scottish breweries. Possibly the nicest gents toilets in the city (allegedly) features a prominent fireplace.

Stag (Aberdeen)

Formerly known as Star and Garter, then MacAndrews, the bar is now part of the McGintys group. Large bar with screens for sport.

Grill (Aberdeen)

An exquisite interior redesigned in 1926 and remaining largely unchanged since, this is the only pub listed in CAMRA’s National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors in the area. Don’t be put off by the exterior.

Ma Cameron’s (Aberdeen)

Known simply as Ma’s, this is one of Aberdeen’s oldest pubs. It has a re-furbished snug bar (October 2015) with serving hatch to adjoining original bar (no longer has any ale pumps, unfortunately).
