34 Great Western Road,
Aberdeen,
AB10 6PY

Café Drummonds
1 Belmont Street,
Aberdeen,
AB10 1JR
Scotland
Café Drummonds flips a grubby finger at urban chic. With not a piece of statement furniture or carefully coiffed head in sight, it may score zero for style and cleanliness but it bags top points for attitude. Grungy music-lovers pile in to hear music in…

Revolution
25 Belmont Street,
Aberdeen,

Royal Thai
29 Crown Terrace,
Aberdeen,
AB11 6HD
Scotland
Aberdeen’s most revered Thai restaurant hides its quality under a kitsch 80’s bushel. The blue neon lighting and flamingo-pink seating might be a little Miami Vice but the food is anything but criminal. Starters featuring crab and prawns are typical of…

Aberdeen,
AB10 1YD

Flaming torches above the door light the way to one of Aberdeen's smartest bars for an affluent, togged-up over 25's crowd. Stone floors and lots of brickwork give the place an edge over its blond wood and brushed steel competitors. Mid-week lunchtimes…

Simpson's

Aberdeen,
AB15 4YP

Café 52
52 The Green,
Aberdeen,
AB11 6PE
