The Globe Inn

You'll find this Silver Street stalwart perfectly positioned between the city centre bustle and the calmer residential streets beyond. The Globe pulls in everyone from Bon Accord Centre shoppers needing a proper pint to Robert Gordon students cramming between lectures, and somehow manages to keep everyone happy. The food here is several notches above your average pub fare – think properly executed fish and chips alongside more adventurous specials that change regularly. The bar staff know their beers, and there's always something decent on tap beyond the usual suspects. It's the sort of place where you pop in for one and end up staying for three, especially when the evening crowd starts filtering in and the atmosphere picks up.
