Slains is one of my favourite places to go on a night out in Aberdeen.
You won't have to queue to get in, but make sure you have ID on you if you're going at the weekend and you don't look at least 21, because the bouncers do tend to ask to see it.
The whole 'gothic' type design of the place inside is pretty cool and its all set on different levels, with plenty of tables and seats and 2 nice long bars upstairs and downstairs.
Despite the fact theres always quite a lot of people there, we always seem to be able to find a table. There are loads spread out across the place, from small 2-seaters, to huge tables for people in big groups.
Decent priced drinks and special offers. One of my favourites things are the 7 deadly sins cocktails. A shame they don't do the jugs of those anymore, but I think its 2 glasses for a fiver and they are tasty, especially Gluttony!
There are plenty of TV screens about the place and the staff are always friendly enough. The toilets could be a bit better though.
All in all, a place I'll nearly always go on a night out.
