Great calm place with amazing drinks. They have a good range of alcohol at good quality. Very appealing interior. Person who designed it knew what they were doing. Staff is very polite and always smiling. I can't express enough how impressed I am.

We went to the Bartender Lounge for a master Mixology class for my wife's birthday and had a fantastic time. Poppy was a great host and made the whole experience brilliant. Would 100% recommend The Bartender Lounge.

Was here last night, and I absolutely loved it. The atmosphere, the service, the music, the place itself - super clean, smart, fashionable, and tidy. Great bar, probably the best in Aberdeen. Also ace how it's open till 1 during the week. But Please stop with this ridiculous service charge. What kind of entitlement is this? This isn't america. I'm not here, on my night out to pay your staffs wages. The service was exceptional. I tipped, and i always will do when service is good. But it made me not want to tip and potentially not want to return.

Just not great. Massive bit of ice for the only reason is to serve you a uninspiring cocktail. Which tastes like something you could make at home. Staff were pleasant but added a silly optional service charge that they removed at request. Drastically needs to improve.

Went by on Monday night for my birthday drinks. Even though it was quiet and I was told via email I didn't need a reservation, I still arrived to find a wee area set aside for us. Service from Alex was absolutely incredible; warm, great chat, and very accommodating. We got bespoke drinks and recommendations for every taste at the table. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the whole place was absolutely spotless. This was my first time at the Bartenders Lounge, and I will definitely be back!

Myself and My Fiancé went in on Saturday for a few cocktails. The staff were absolutely fantastic with the service, they gave recommendations as not really a cocktail drinker but for sure that has changed. I thoroughly enjoyed two cocktails in particular World Away and Cigarettes & Alcohol. Great atmosphere and will for sure definitely be back soon.

Bartenders Lounge is one of my favourite cocktail bars to visit in Aberdeen, and one I always find myself recommending to friends and family. Beautiful drinks, stylish interior and delicious food, not to mention the most professional and hospitable staff. Excellent prices for the quality you receive, and a relaxed but classy atmosphere inside. This place truly is not one to miss if you’re in town.

Where to start! Bartenders lounge is absolutely excellent from start to finish! From a warm welcome at the front door, beautiful decor, a cosy atmosphere and the best cocktails! The staff are impressively knowledgeable about all things alcohol and provide very attentive table service. You are never left without a drink and the staff take great interest in your preferences and make sure you are well catered for. We unfortunately did not try the food however plan to visit very soon as the tapas menu looks incredible! However, we did take a healthy portion of cocktails and couldn't fault a single one - and my partner isn't even a cocktail fan! Amazing! If you are in Aberdeen you NEED to visit Bartenders Lounge - you will not be disappointed!!

A chic bar with a leather interior, navy and gold accents, and a cozy fireplace which exudes elegance and warmth. Now you can enjoy your uniquely crafted cocktails, gins, wines, whiskies or beers with a bite to eat, and the menu is off to a great start. The variety on the menu means there is something for everyone. Or in my case, a bit of everything! The standouts were the BL Tartare and the Chips 'n' Cheese. Whether you're seeking a romantic date night or a fun gathering with friends, this is the perfect destination. _frankie_eats

We were lucky enough to attend and try the sample menu, which did not disappoint! Food was presented in an eye pleasingly way and the taste was even better!! All food was excellent however what stood out the most for me was the potatoes which were really flavourful with a different twist which made them even more appetising and the sticky toffee pudding which was not your typical sponge style, something totally unique and very tasteful. Had a glass of red wine with the food, which really offset the amazing taste and then a mocktail prepared by Hayden, which was superb! Great casual dining, with a high end feel, with moderately priced food and drinks, well worth the visit!!!

Bartenders Lounge is one of my favourite places to go for drinks and now that they have launched a food menu makes it even better. The dishes on offer are really nice and well presented. A definite must if you are in the market for good food and good drinks. The atmosphere is a vibe with the right level of music and perfect lighting. The staff are really knowledgable and know what they are doing. The service is top notch, last time we were in Hayden made us a couple of cocktails that were lush .

The customer service displayed by the staff is phenomenal and they are very welcoming. The drinks are exceptional and as for the food, that is next level! I had the Chips 'n' Cheese & Gyoza. Both dishes cooked to perfection. You can taste the freshness and quality ingredients used. Lastly, the presentation is exceptional! Very happy and will be returning!!

It’s the talk of the town for good reason. There aren’t many good cocktail bars in Scotland but this has earned a place in my top 3. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, exceptional drinks and a variety of interesting and pleasant customers / locals. The staff are really knowledgeable and passionate about their drinks, if you’re not sure what to try just tell them what your tastebuds like and they will concoct something refreshing and delicious. Highly recommend this bar, you are probably best to book ahead as it can get very busy and tables go fast.

Most recently the bartenders hosted a private function for me for my 30th birthday and I had the most amazing time! Craig and the team were so accommodating from start to finish and nothing was ever too much trouble, even down to creating a signature cocktail for my guests on the night. This bar will always be my preferred option to go for drinks on a night out! Keep up the amazing work you are doing as you are going to go far!

At first everything about the Bartenders Lounge gives off the impression it will be a relaxed luxury experience. The door man was polite and opened the door instructing us to wait to be seated. Staff were attentive, the drinks were lovely. Then we realised the music was not in keeping with this. It was a constant boom boom boom track and very loud for our duration. I know I sound old but it just didn't match everything else I experienced and would have preferred a softer playlist so I could have a conversation without shouting. I will be going back again to see if this was a one off as everything else was great.

Loved my visit to Bartenders Lounge and will definitely be a bar I frequent when I'm in town! Cocktails with proper spirit measures 👌 Prices on par with other cocktail bars in town too. A unique list of cocktails to choose from along with an array of spirits for those who don't want a cocktail. Craig was more than happy to find out what you like to drink, flavour profile etc to go and make something off menu if you prefer. Also Craig Is a friendly, top bloke and I wish him all the best with his venture 👍 Oh, I love the vibe, with the instrumental dance type music in the background. Very chill through the week but I'm sure the weekends are lively if they get live DJs/musician's in. Might have to try out their newly launched charcuterie boards on my next visit (which I can't wait for!).

I am disappointed and let down at the experience at the Bartenders' Lounge. We were in the bar for about two hours and had four/five cocktails each - the drinks were on par with other bars nearby. When I went to pay, the bill was almost double what I anticipated, based on the menu costs and ended up being more expensive than a 6-course meal and wine parings for two at Six by Nico - so a lot. I asked for an itemised breakdown and realised the cost included - Four drinks we never had - A 10% service fee we didn't know about until after paying - Tax is not in the cost of the items, like other bars across the city, so you have a 20% extra cost and no advanced awareness of this that I noticed. When I spoke with the bar staff about the additional costs and next steps, the barman argued and told me we had more drinks than we did and could not have been more condescending in how he spoke to us. There was no resolution to the costs of the additional drinks - we ended up paying for drinks we never had. The whole experience impacted the night, and we felt that perhaps a tab was missed by the bar staff, and they tried to recoup the money with our bill. I have a history of leaving friendly and encouraging reviews, which you'll note on my Google profile. I want to see new businesses thrive. The owner was friendly and wasn't there at the end when we challenged the bill, but I want to make others aware of the experience, as charging people so much for goods they didn't have could have a detrimental impact on them - especially at this time of year. I'd advise you if you go to pay as you go. That way, you're less likely to have the same experience we did. Hopefully, this is part of the teething issues of being a new business, and with time and training, other people won't receive the same treatment.

We felt like friends from the second we walked in and we will most certainly be back in the very near future. Bartenders lounge rocks!

Friendly staff, free wifi to work, coffee delicious and beautifully presented, food a bit disappointing. I know I only ordered a grilled cheese sour dough sandwich - and got what was on the tin. But it was a bit tasteless and I asked if they had black pepper or Sriracha sauce to give it a bit of seasoning and the lovely friendly waitress said no. I had walked from the train station especially to sample the coffee/food. I'd recommend for coffee only.
