Real ale discount scheme

Located in the photogenic and historic Old Aberdeen conservation area amid the university buildings and close by Kings College, this friendly and historic pub is frequented by academia and locals alike.

On entering the pub, a splendid mirror from the long-gone Thomson Marshall Aulton Brewery, which was located just down the street, adorns the wall while another from the original Devanha brewery may be spotted in the rear beside the toilets.

Usually three beers are available from Scottish breweries alongside a comprehensive selection of whiskies and a collection of gins. The pub has a growing reputation as a whisky destination and hosts a momthly 'Drams for Bams' tasting. The pub offers CAMRA members, students and OAPs a discount. The bar is home to a darts team and University football and rugby team.

Food consists of fried food and burgers.
