Came to Aberdeen for a local event and ended up in Slains on three separate occasions over two days!
Amazing atmosphere, great priced drinks and the food was brilliant.
The venue itself is gorgeous and is well worth a visit!
Wonderful pub, based on the story in which Bram Stoker had the idea for his book "Dracula" on the real Slains Castle. Wonderfully dark, eerie and mystical. If you like it, you'll feel right at home here. I personally found it wonderful. The prices are moderate and the quality of the food is on par w
It's very dark..and eerie and that's the idea!
We went early and took advantage of the small plates offer.There was a problem with WiFi for using the app however we ordered at the bar. There was a problem with the price of the wine but this was dealt with efficiently.The food was served sooner than
Popped in for a drink
Quite dark and atmospheric
Gothic style
Quirky. Especially the door to the toilets which is designed as a bookcase on the wall
Friendly staff
Food looked good as it went past to be delivered to other tables
Dog friendly pub 🐶
Definitely be back
Will be back. Was served as soon as walking in. Good music, excellent prices, no complaints.
It's an interesting place. Get the Burning Hot Burger, you'll see through time. Picture that scene from 2001 a space odyssey.. it's like that. the only burger that makes me feel like I've been physically assaulted. Amazing.
Couldn't get death in a pitcher?! Why... I want the most death I can!! Delicious cocktails otherwise and the naming scheme is fantastical.
I've never had an issue in this place. Usually love the food and the cocktails. My mother is visiting today and I've taken her here. My order of chicken wings came out still frozen in the middle. Got new ones but awkward eating when the rest of the table are done. Ordered kids sticky toffee pudding
A unique pub with a great atmosphere. Staff are friendly, food and drinks are reasonably priced. Our go to for a catch up with friends.
Amazing pub in the heart of Aberdeen city centre, great looking building both inside and out. It's warm and inviting inside with some really unique and historical decor, bar staff are always friendly and happy to help, outdoor smoking area and seating is great, although most of it is currently block
I can only say positive things about this place. The location has a very cool atmosphere as well as a great range of creative and unique drinks. Tonight we spontaneously took part in the pub quiz and it was a lot of fun despite my small team’s score being mediocre at best in the end^^ The quiz maste
Cracking place for a few drinks, great atmosphere very gothic in appearance. The cocktails are all named after the horsemen of the apocalypse and the War cocktail is fantastic very sweet and easy way to get drunk!
Fantastic food good bar staff good atmosphere enjoyed the quiz too got very drunk
Came back the following day after being disappointed by another place close by
Dog loved it and enjoyed people watching
Amazing bar especially for students, pint of tennants for £2.50 as a student 😁 staff are lovely too
Slains Castle is a ornate and quaint pub just off Union Street in downtown Aberdeen, it has a wide variety of decorations, statues, ornaments, pictures and other embellishments too varied for the eye to take in, everywhere you look is something different. It's also set over several levels and althou
Super atmospheric (gothic castle vibes), super friendly staff and reasonably priced drinks! Love the bookshelf door to the bathroom.
Always seem to end up here at least once during any visit to Aberdeen, in spite of telling ourselves we're going to try somewhere new!
Decor amazing, superbly eerily kitsch :-D
Great atmosphere, pleasant staff, great prices, tasty food, intriguing themed cocktails!
Look out for the Pick'n'mix plank
