SugarBird Wines in the Gardens

You'll find yourself wandering into Union Terrace Gardens on a decent day and stumbling upon something proper special. SugarBird's got that rare thing in Aberdeen — a wine list that doesn't take itself too seriously but knows exactly what it's doing. The space itself sits within the pavilion, giving it an intimate feel without feeling cramped or pretentious. Order a glass of something unexpected, chat to whoever's behind the bar, and you'll realise this is where locals who give a toss about wine actually congregate. It's the kind of place where natural wines feel natural, not show-offy.
