524 Bar

You're on George Street, that stretch between the station and Union Street where things feel a bit more stripped-back than the obvious haunts. 524 Bar has the kind of no-nonsense approach Aberdeen does well — they're not trying to reinvent the wheel with molecular mixology, just making proper drinks that taste good. The regulars seem to know what they're after, and the staff won't make you feel daft if you just want a pint and a chat rather than something elaborate.
