Notice: Many venues are affected by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and need your support more than ever. Please be aware that restrictions apply in many areas so opening hours may be different to those displayed here, and some venues may be yet to re-open at all. Before visiting, we strongly advise you to call or check its website or social media to avoid disappointment.
Venues in Scotland are subject to special restrictions, which vary across the country. In the Central Belt (Including Arran and parts of the Southern Highlands) all pubs and most other licensed premises will be closed but may still be offering takeaway services. In other areas they can open but can only serve food and non-alcoholic drinks inside from 6.00am to 6.00pm. Alcoholic drinks can however be served in outside areas until 10.00pm. These restrictions will be in place until Monday 2 November.
If you see any details here that need updating, please let us know by submitting feedback on the pub.

About the Pub
Time has virtually stood still in the public bar here, where not a lot has changed since the 60s! This bar was usually staffed single-handedly by the owner, Sandy Brown. It is with great regret that we announce that Sandy died, aged 74, on Tuesday 21st April, leaving the future of this popular pub and music venue unknown. Obviously we will not really know what the situation will be until pubs are again allowed to open once the current pandemic is over.
The small upstairs lounge is dimly lit and is available for private functions and occasional music performances.
Next door, the cavernous, converted warehouse is a popular music venue and hosts the Aberdeen Jazz Festival each March and several other jazz Thursdays in the Autumn. The local folk club meet here on a Wednesday night and there are usually bands (rock, blues, folk-rock) playing on Friday & Saturday nights at which there may be a charge for admission.
One beer (same one) is available in both public bar and large lounge and the single handpump in the lounge is in occasional use. Beer is usually from the Cromarty Brewery but occasional beers are sometimes seen from Orkney and Swannay.
Opening times may vary with earlier opening from Friday to Sunday and the big lounge is open till 2am Friday and Saturday nights.
