About the Pub
This Wetherspoon is in one of many monumental granite buildings in central Aberdeen designed by local architect Archibald Simpson and is the former local headquarters of Clydesdale Bank.
It has a pillared entrance and retains many original architectural features, the main room being a high-ceilinged central hall with additional seating areas to the side of the main room.
The long bar features up to 12 handpumps offering a variety of beers, frequently from Scottish breweries. There is a narrow outside drinking area on the pavement on Union Street corner.
Beer festivals are held several times a year (Scottish and International).
Alcohol from 10am.
I scheduled for conversion of upstairs into hotel accommodation sometime in 2021.
