ONLY THREE DAYS TO GO!!!!! Thats right folks, only three days until the new Scottish Boozing goes live to the public. In the coming weeks we will be providing you with the comprehensive lowdowns of pubs and clubs as we always do but also be on the lookout for a number of new features that will appear in the near future, these include a picture gallery and the long awaited 'Scottish Boozing - The

ANOUNCEMENT TO ALL SCOTTISH BOOZING READERS Scottish Boozing is currently undergoing a mammoth revamp and will officially relaunch on Friday the 26th of March 2004. The new site is bigger, better, brighter and more comprehensive than before and is sure to be Scotlands premiere internet pub and club guide. Look out for the new interactive features, which I'm sure will keep you amused and in

The Howff ABERDEEN It appears that even the greatest of literary geniuses among us suffer from that great and most dreaded of afflictions of all bloggers; writers block. Unthinkable as it may seem, Star was really struggling with this review even though it was only his second assignment for Scottish Boozing, even Drew had managed four, admittedly poor, posts by this time. But did Star battle on

LiquidABERDEEN I feel an overwhelming duty to right a wrong on Scottish Boozing that should have Beefy, Drew, Dabby and myself hanging our drunken heads in shame. An omission so blatant that I myself feel I should take personal responsibility for, and to prove this I welcome all to ceremonially whip my backside with metre-long rope for this day only to punish my silly, silly, scrotumless self.

Old Blackfriars ABERDEEN Drew's grammatically challenged and politically incorrect contribution for the week!!! Are you a fat lazy bastard? Do you love the fact that Archibald Simpson is right next to the bus stop meaning bugger all walking distance at the start of the night but then get incredibly pissed off when all your mates decide they want to go on a long trek all the way to the upper end

Scottish Boozing's Scottish Boozers This is something new for the great pages of Scottish Boozing. Many a time I have been out on the piss in Scotlands vibrant, colourful and often dangerous cities when I have seen a fellow or two who has consumed one too many bevies and is decidedly worse the wear for it. Their highly intoxicated state leads them into spontaneous bouts of unexpected and often

Opium EDINBURGH In these dark, dismal days set in bleak and bleary times, a truly good pub is harder to find than a leprechaun's pot of gold. It's not as straight-forward as trundling after a rainbow, for there are so many factors to be accounted for when picking your favoured drinking establishment above all else. Atmosphere, music, furnishing, price / variety of tipples, crowd, opening hours,

New Scottish Boozer We have a new Scottish Boozer in our midst ladies and gentleman. After many technical hitches the irreverant, irrepressible and irreplaceable Dabby has joined up so he can finally bring us his reviews of his favourite bars and pubs (and perhaps even clubs if he can be arsed). Dabby's unique writing style is well suited to the sardonic nature of Scottish Boozing so we hope

The Broadhill Bar ABERDEENABERDEENABERDEEN The Broadhill Bar will always be special to me. The reason for this is simple; it was the bar in which I purchased my first pint in a pub. This is something of a defining moment in a young man’s life, it is the day when you are introduced to the wonders of draught beer, it is the day when you take the first tentative steps on the short road to

The Schooner ABERDEEN Drew wrote this. For any offence taken I accept no responsibility!! A great man by the name of Beefy once said “What can I say about Cul-de-Sac after the sum total of only one solitary visitation of the bar?” A rhetorical question showing how going the only the once was bad enough. My rhetorical question for this place though is what can I say about The Schooner after the

Cul-de-Sac ABERDEEN What can I say about Cul-de-Sac after the sum total of only one solitary visitation of the bar? Well that previous statement should say it all, shouldn’t it? All my beliefs, feelings and opinions of said establishment can be encapsulated by that one rhetorical question. I’ve been once! Once and thankfully only once and even that was once too much and I vow to never darken the

The Bobbin ABERDEEN Lectures can be depressingly boring from time to time don’t you agree? You sit there in an expansive amphitheatre, a bloke with a voice that if ever Feesh and Lee Christie were to procreate, you would imagine the fruit of their loins to sound very similar, blethering some incomprehensible crap down at the front, the clock inexplicably appearing defy the fundamental laws of

Ali Baba's ELLON This post was written by our gay bar correspondent and connoisseur, Drew. If you were in desperate need of meat like substances, which can be munched at in a way that would make you rather animal like due to your severe over use of alcoholic drinks, then I would have to recommend Belmont Kebab Shop. If you were to ask this to a random on the streets you would be greeted with a

The Belmont ABERDEEN There's something almost sexual about a good kebab. Having eaten my weight in kebab meat over the years I feel well informed enough to write a review of what I consider to be the best kebab shop in Aberdeen- the renowned Belmont Kebab shop in Belmont Street. And I don't say that lightly. So let me be your eyes, taste receptors and any other part of your body I can help you

The Scotia ABERDEEN This post was written by our resident "rough bar" correspondant, Drew. Everyone has a different reason for visiting a bar or nightclub. For the pretty boys it’s the chance to pull, for the little slapper it could be to take advantage of the pretty boys excitement resulting in a watch being stolen the next day, for some it could be to have a good pint, for the ones who have

Scottish Boozing Stars It appears that I have caused much controversy by deeming it fit that Pivo were to receive only three stars out of five. Much has been made of this decision, many people have complained that Pivo is deserving of more stars than this but I stand by my decision and it is for this reason that I feel I must explain my stance on this contentious issue, not that I should have to

The Wonderful World Of The Kebab Here at Scottish Boozing we endeavour to bring you up to date, frank and occasionally downright nasty comments about Scotland’s many pubs, clubs and bars so that you, our discerning readership, will know exactly where to visit when out for a night on the razzle. However, are alcohol purveying outlets all that you are looking for on a night out? Is liquid all that

Pivo ABERDEEN Let me ask you all a question: how much are you willing to pay for a game of pool? 30p? 50p even? Well how about Ł1 sterling? “Extortionate!” I hear you all cry, astonished, a note of outrage permeating your unbelieving voice. Well mes amis, this is the price you’ll have to pay if you want to have a game of the old pool at Bar Pivo, ridiculous I know but since the untimely and

The Moorings ABERDEEN When Robert Louis Stevenson wrote his classic tale “Treasure Island” many of his characters were based on local notables from the Aberdeen area. Long John Silver for example was modelled on a lighthouse keeper from Stonehaven and Jim Hawkins was nothing but a local street urchin. Stevenson however, did not need to scour the far reaches of the Aberdeenshire coastline in

Archibald Simpson's ABERDEEN Where would a saturday night in town begin, I ask you, if it were not for Archibald Simpson's? The question may seem irrelevant in a city that boasts over one hundred alcohol-selling premises, but without the welcoming Archie Simpson's many a good night would be conceived in debacle and furious debate. Without the need for words it is accepted that a night out in

The Tolbooth ELLON Have you ever stopped to wonder, among other less important things like the meaning of life and what exactly that Einstein chap was on about, where we would be if it weren't for the Tolbooth. Well, most likely the Bridge but that's besides the point as over the past few weeks and months The Booth has become our second and in a few isolated cases (i.e. Drew) our first home.
