524 Bar in Aberdeen City

The food is usually great from O Kitchen but the time frame and delivery is shocking. I assume it's one driver trying to get around. Will be my last time ordering as it's late again. The first time was their fault, but the second, I've only myself to blame. There won't be a third.

We have visited this pub's sister venue, the Pit and Pendulum, on numerous occasions, it's a favourite so we had to try this one too. An impressive venue, the Gothic interior is housed in a former church, lots of black and red and deep dark wood enhance the Tim Burton feel. The food was great, in fact my coconut curry is one of the nicest I've had. The drinks menu is extensive and, happily, includes cocktails, some of which are lovely and creamy. Forget the pseudo-posh modern cocktails (though there are some of those too), these are milkshakes with a kick, and absolutely yum. The service was impeccable and our server was great to chat to, making us feel most welcome. The only minor grumble is this is a goth pub yet it plays an eclectic mix of music. It's sister venue knows part of its appeal is the music and sticks very much to the goth/metal genre. A brilliant experience all round, just a shame about the tunes.
