Claims to be the oldest hostelry in Aberdeen having been established in 1741. It is situated on the Green conveniently next door to Bistro Verde, and across from Cafe 52. The Green itself does not live up to its name, being largely Gray, but is an attractive “piazza” just below the South East end of Union Street.

This is a traditional pub with dartboard. Quite small, but with several tables along the side opposite the bar, and a couple of tables next to the windows. There are a couple of television screens and music is playing, however not at a level where it interferes with normal conversation.

This is not a pub for the trendy young Aberdonians out for the night, and is possibly frequented more by a small band of regulars. It is a convenient meeting place for anyone going on to the two aforementioned restaurants.
