Great atmosphere, food was spot on and staff very friendly. I will definitely be back there and recommend to friends. Music choices were really good and theme of pub fitted in with music. We went for first time prior to the Iron Maiden gig and the place was buzzing. Fantastic � ☠
Awesome food, great place! Right in the City Centre, easy to find and very good lunch deals!
The scary decoration is also great and make good pictures.
A must go for people visiting and a favorite restaurant for people living in Aberdeen.
Very nice. Cheapest in town and lovely food. Friendly staff. 2 of us ate decent plates of food, dessert n a drink n cost less than 9 quid each.
Came through from Stirling to stay for the weekend went to a few pubs then found this place and had a fantastic time, the music was brilliant the whole night loved it!! Amazin DJ would definately come back the staff are all really friendly, will be telling my friends back home about this place ��
Love the coffee in here, Vasilis rocks at the coffee art! :) Great place to chill and graze on the pick n mix food platters, whilst studying !!! Love Slains!!!! xxx
Looks amazing inside, also found the prices were great, considering it was Aberdeen city centre, would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Rocks! Food is so good great atmosphere music is right . They even have hair straighteners in the toilets . Love this place
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 with a pub. There is nothing to complain about. For me, a visit to Slains Castle is absolutely part of a visit to Aberdeen.
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 we had been advised. The food itself was tasty and we found the portion sizes good .
The pub was quiet but it was sunny outside and early on Saturday! We enjoyed the theme and the experience. Really liked the menu and found it great value .
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. Got adults and pay for an adults. It paid like it had curry powder in it. Wasn't great. Would understand if it had been really busy but we were the only ones here.
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 blocked off due to construction works.
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 master was a very funny guy and he even provided us with a phone charger once we were low on battery. The food was also very good and the prices were fair. Last but definetly not least I want to mention that the kind, beautiful, red-haired lady who did a great job behind the bar might, at least for me, have been one of the highlights of the evening as well ^.^ Which of all those things may or may not have been the reason I visited a second time in my short trip to scotland, despite plenty of other options being available is up for discussion I guess… Whenever I‘m gonna visit this nice country again, I‘ll make sure to plan a stop in aberdeen at a certain church I guess :)
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 although they call it a castle it resembles more a haunted house. I bought 3 pints of cider for less than £9 so I am happy although the service was a little slow.
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 deal : 5 tapas style dishes for £10.99 made the perfect lunch for 4 of us.
Live music, quizzes and Open mic nights are held regularly too.
