Real ale discount scheme

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.

It has eight ale pumps, although lately only six at any one time, with a varied selection of ales from mostly Scottish breweries plus occasional English ales and usually at least two from the Greene King/Belhaven stable. It also has various 'craft' beer pumps with Neck Oil and suchlike. Tasters are offered if you are not sure what to chose.

A good pub, only noisy with conversations, but has an unnecessary TV screen which, thankfully, is seldom used. Good value food is served daily till 9pm.

Information for this venue is provided by the Aberdeen Grampian & N Isles Branch of CAMRA

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: C

This late-Victorian granite pub has two carved back gantries and at 18 m (60 ft) the longest bar counter for miles around. Originally it consisted only of the right-hand half of the present-day pub, but, in the 1980s, numbers 9 and 11 to the left were purchased and areas at the front left and rear left created. The long counter has an old spittoon trough around the base with new tiles and the bar top has been replaced. Good collection of brewery and whisky mirrors.
