OGV Taproom

Head down to Bridge Place and you'll find OGV Taproom doing exactly what it says on the tin — showcasing craft beers from breweries that actually care about what's in the glass. It's the kind of place where the staff know their stock inside out and aren't precious about it. You'll get honest recommendations whether you're after something hoppy, dark, or experimental. The space itself is unfussy; bare brick, good lighting, and enough elbow room to settle in with mates or meet new ones at the bar. It's become a proper focal point for Aberdeen's beer community without any of the pretension that sometimes comes with that territory.
