Loved this bar. Amazing selection of drinks, great music, nice as a little music venue, lovely welcoming staff. We played board games in the afternoon, danced and chatted and drank here until kick out at 3am!

Excellent atmosphere, excellent drinks, good student discount, potentially my favourite place in Aberdeen, although I am afraid my hand has been forced to leave a 3 star as they claim they Do not care about a persons attire" and yet they wouldn't allow my mate in wearing shorts."

We went in for a pint or two, enjoying the energy and the vibe. It's more Heavy Metal it seems, but I could be wrong and one should rather check out their website for upcoming artists. I liked it there. The more darker side of the spectrum kind of crowd, and young too. But I still felt comfortable and had a good time. We where out on a pub crawl, looking for live music, and we got some there and moved on to the next. Give it a go....

Great bar, massive selection of drinks and always loads of great local bands playing! Keeping to the Grass Roots routine. Good news is you can now even pay for gig tickets by card at the venue rather than cash only!Just make sure to have a look around at all the signs.

this place claims to be a workers' cooperative but despite this they have some ridiculously shady hiring practices. They regularly fire staff (without the required vote) for speaking up about sexual assault and most bar staff are essentially complicit in such things that happen in the venueThey also seem very content to book bands with frontmen who are known sexual assaulters...The service is terrible, and, while I'm sure the staff may try their best, management clearly care only for stuffing as many students in there and milking them for their money, rather than a good time or safe atmosphereif you go here you are certain to spend 2x what you would in any ordinary bar, whilst also supporting people who simply lie about any standard they claim to have (check their website by the way, they don't care about you as a customer in the slightest)

Unique in character bar located in the city centre just across the main harbor. For all the pop punk and rock lovers!

Really horrible abusive custumers who the bar staff allow to bully less regularly/younger custumers and vape/smoke at the bar despite regulations against it. Extremely dirty and very poor service. It was 9pm on a Monday night no one else was ordering drinks and it took bar staff 15+ minutes to make 2 very basic cocktails. If you're not just ordering a shot or a soft drink except a long wait. Generally very poor atmosphere if you're not a 30+ year old man with piercings, one tattoo and a neck beard.Side note asking for donations as a business who makes profit... strange...
