The Bon Accord

What can I say? One of those bars that you have to try. If you like your drink its an absolute must. Has pritty much everything you would want from an ole school bozzer.
The usual suspects on draught but you dnt step in here for a pint of lager. You come here to try one of their ales.
I am sat drinking Tempest £3.30 a pint has a hopey taste but its not over powering.
Fine gantry in here. If whisky is your thing you won't be disappointed. Bar staff are friendly, I actually was in the mood for a dark ale when I walked in.  I didn't recognise any of the taps so i asked what they would recommend. All the dark alles were drank over the weekend but he gave me a healthy sample of two ales which were close to what i wanted. One of which was almost 7% but was way to hoppy for me so i settled on the tempest.
No need to sup up, just sit and enjoy. I have only one problem with this bar. There is always an odd smell, like they have just cooked cauliflower, really weird.
After half a pint you donot notice. Anyway a must visit boozer

Still surviving. Most O'Neill chain pubs that I used to frequent sold or changed hands. Not this one they revamped it. Large bar front and back. The back bar opens at night and I think they still have a late license.
£2.85 a pint of Tennent's can't argue with that, as its £3.30 in their sister pub in the merchant city. Good atmosphere no hassell.
No need to sup up quick can fill with students getting messy before heading to the garage. We have all done that though.
Good boozer
