Black Dog in Aberdeen City

what more can you ask for great food great new menu good service

We had a fantastic family lunch at Black Dog last week! The restaurant is located on the Bridge of Don in Aberdeen, the food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I had the chicken tikka masala with nan bread and rice 🍚, and it was one of the best Indian meals I've ever had. My kids ordered chicken burgers 🍔 and nuggets, and they were equally impressed. If you're looking for a great place to eat in Aberdeen, I highly recommend Black Dog!

Great lunch , cheap and huge amount of food!

Brilliant staff good pool and fun atmosphere

First time here for a meal and it was absolutely lovely pleasant staff would recommend

Went along on Friday evening for Ballerz Bandoke Karaoke. Great night. Good atmosphere and fantastic drinks. Rob served us and was a pleasure as always

Lovely staff. Good atmosphere. Menu choices very good

This is a local place for me to eat out. It could be doing with a Decor upgrade. Enjoyed my meal well enough.

The staff are absolutely lovely, Steph brought out dessert with a candle for my Grannys birthday- without any request from us! It absolutely made her day, thank you again!

No one else in lounge for food or drinks only my party of 4 ladies

A nice local pub with good restaurant and great staff. DO NOT BOOK THROUGH THE WEBSITE. Call as they're part of a chain and the website does not support the Aberdeen pub. Found that out but thankfully the staff assisted, we still got a meal and dessert!

Regulars is fine but noticed a lot of newcomers and a bar not to far away closed and daunting for bar staff more now than was. Bar staff all brill. Especially ma favourite one. She works hard and plays hard yes you sunshine. And people rave about the meals.thanks staff

Great food at great prices, will need to book table

Another great night at the Black Dog. We are a group of 16 who go every month. The chef has his work cut out for him, cooking for us and the other customers. Only thing that let him down was the mashed tatties. Rest of the meals were terrific . Service was good, we kept Cameron very busy and he was friendly and polite as always with a sense of humour. Already booked for June. Kate’s Creaky Craters

Nice easy place for a meal with the family

Lovely place to watch football with beer. Very kind staffs and a number of large screens. There are pool table, darts, and some playing machines. One thing you might need to keep in your mind - the kitchen’s last order for foods is 7:45pm, so be there earlier than that if you would like to bite some chips.

Had a great time, food was really nice! My partner had the ‘best pub burger he’s ever had’ our server was really nice too!

Update- 2nd visit of the year, this time with family, 5 adults and 2 kids. Staff, as always, can't do enough, friendly, and helpful. Chip shop platter and katsu chicken were good, also 3 adults shared the mini plates. We also had a dessert each. All good, no complaints and good service as always. Good value. Good kids menu also, and the jigsaws kept them entertained.

This is my local pub in Bridge of Don. The staff are really friendly and it has a good atmosphere. I had food and it was excellent. I recommend the wings with Sriracha sauce and the Chicken and Chorizo croquettes

Always had a fantastic meal at the Black Dog with all the staff having great customer service who go above and beyond with food and drink recommendations and with the table service in the lounge it means we just get to sit and relax while visiting. The new MiXR app they have is so rewarding as well and will soon be able to have a free meal and drinks with the points I’ve been getting. Best pub in Bridge of Don by far.

Was hungover and me and my pal were hank. We randomly chose here for some scran as we were passing and had heard good things. We ate in the lounge Staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome. We had the mixed grill and the bacon cheese burger both were piping hot and cooked well. Cheers guys 👌

Cheap and cheerful food. Good to support local business instead of a chain.

Value for money. Great service and hospitality as always from Kat and Robert.

Kat and Robert are really friendly and helpful

On behalf of the Steady Steps group we would like to thank the Black Dog Team for such a warm welcome, great service and delicious food. Good value for money. Wishing the team a very happy Christmas and looking forward to seeing you all in the new year. Thank you for everything.🥰

My grannie, granda and myself came in around 5pm(ish) into the lounge and we were greeted by Rob (I think his name was). Rob was excellent - very friendly, chatty and attentive! We all ordered the fish and chip shop platter. This came with a whole fish, a battered sausage, garden peas or mushy peas, curry sauce in a jug on the side and chips. All three plates were cleared! Thank you again Rob, amazing service!

I love this place, good food, good price, friendly staff and great for families

Was told by one staff member that no dogs were allowed in but yesterday I saw one in have you changed the rules

Great food, staff are friendly and helpful. One of our favourite places to go for food

Popped in to watch a game on Sunday and were made very welcome

Decided to pop in for lunch and glad we did. Plenty of choices and drink included with main meals. Can’t wait to go back and try something new.

The food was excellent and great value for money, we will definitely visit again

Lovely food. prices and staff were very friendly

Good service reasonable prices.Good choice of dishes.Will revisit soon

Food and staff fantastic great meals great prices

I was up from Batley in Yorkshire for the weekend to visit my family here in Aberdeen and the Black Dog was recommended as an ideal place for us all to get together for Sunday lunch and it did not disappoint, Id like to thank Ewan and bar staff for their excellent service also the chef who catered for 16 of us, we found the meals to be excellent both in proportion and in taste, this was my first visit to the Black Dog and hope to return again on my next visit to the lovely city of Aberdeen.

We had a lovely very reasonably priced meal, with free drinks included at the Black Dog. Rob was extremely welcoming and helpful, as all the staff have always been when we've visited. The food is always lovely. Two of our group have mobility issues, one in a wheelchair. Easy wheelchair access and disabled facilities.

Friendly welcoming staff, food was really good, will definitely be back

Food was okay . Service was okay

Food was lovely, staff was very friendly. Price very good. Big let down was toilets very dirty, no toilet roll, floor filthy definitely not been cleaned from night before.

Lovely food and service was very good,polite and friendly.

I recently visited The Black Dog for the first time as the food had been recommended to me by friends, and it didn't disapoint. I'm vegetarian and there was so much for me to choose from. The service was fantastic especially from Rob who made it feel like such a welcoming place. Me and my friends will be back again soon!

Prompt, friendly service this afternoon. Both beer and wine were well chilled and brought to our table with a smile.

A regular haunt for good value grub and drinks from friendly staff in a pleasant lounge bar. Not a luxury place, but doesn't pretend to be. We'll keep going back, knowing full well the value we'll get for our money 👍

The Black Dog is a cracking local pub in Aberdeen. The warm welcome from a super friendly team made the visit even more enjoyable, Rob and Kat really looked after us. The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. There is a great selection of drinks and looks like they have live music at the weekends. Great pub and can’t wait to visit again.

Great food and great prices! Totally coming back

Sadly there was a power outage when we visited so we could not get food But this didn’t stop us to get a drink and great service! and cash is still king 😉

Exactement l'endroit parfait pour manger un bon hamburger ou du poulet. Ambiance très sympa et personnel accueillant et très agréable. Grand parking gratuit juste devant l'établissement. Possibilité de jouer au billard et aux fléchettes. À recommander !

We had a great family meal at The Black Dog tonight. It has a small dining area with a cosy atmosphere. The food was all very good and very tasty. We had three mains, three drinks and two desserts all for less than £30! But don't let the price put u off. The food is really very good. Staff were all lovely and helpful. We will be back 😊

Great food, best pub in Bridge of Don

We had a function in the lounge and it was excellent. The food was fantastic and the service we received was spot on, especially Rob who looked after us. Will definitely return soon!

Had a very nice lunch today! Good food! Good value! Server steph pleasant and efficient, will be back soon !

Unbeatable prices! Welcoming, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Perfect for families. Definitely worth a visit! Thanks again

Had a lovely birthday family meal tonight . There was 11 of us . The waiter was lovely and the food was delicious. Highly recommend 👌

Visited with friends for lunch. There were 7 of us. Hadn't been there for ages. Lots of choices on the menu. We all really enjoyed our meal. The waitress who served us was excellent. Friendly and helpful and clearly enjoyed what she was doing. We are planning to return in October and are considering booking a pre Christmas Lunch in December.

Clean, friendly atmosphere and child friendly environment. Family zone and an adult section for the bar. Cheap and good quality and happy with the service.

Food is always good and will always return , perfect sevice , good value .

Was in on Saturday for football , first class . The pint was excellent aswell. They obviously have taken every step you can take and it’s reassuring that they are taking it serious unlike OTHER PUBS IN ABERDEEN.

Tuve una comida aquí con los viejos en una noche de semana. Es una comida barata y alegre producida en masa al estilo café. Las patatas fritas eran pobres como las congeladas muy baratas, y el bistec era insípido y carbonizado en ambos lados. Me gustaría comer en otro lugar con ingredientes de mejor calidad. Pagas por lo que obtienes, supongo.

She was extremely rude, spilled my pint and was oh so slow to refill it. Decided to try a second and was told to wait to order until she finished texting!

Primera vez que había sido por 6 meses al menos. Nos alegramos de haber ido.Siempre vamos al salón. Fui por el filete de lomo de 10 oz, viene con papas fritas, tomate a la parrilla y aros de cebolla. Mi compañero tenía el eglefino, patatas fritas y guisantes. También elegimos un anillo de cebolla Tower. Qué torre, 20 aros de cebolla en el poste.Mi bistec era realmente agradable, las patatas fritas eran agradables al igual que los aros de tomate y cebolla. Su eglefino estaba crujiente y bien cocinado y lo disfrutó. Tuvimos que dejar 9 aros de cebolla ya que era demasiado.Volveremos más pronto que la última vez.

Estábamos listos para trabajar y fuimos a cenar.Extremley feliz de haberlo hecho. El servicio de Natalie fue excelente, comprobando que estábamos bien y la comida era buena además de administrar el ajetreado servicio de mesa y el servicio de bar lo que parecía por su cuenta. todo se hizo con una sonrisa excelente servicio al cliente.Creo que Josh era el nombre del chef y nuestra comida fue genial! gracias por eso. Pescado frito con papas fritas y 1 curry. ¡entonces los postres lo eran todo!Noche muy agradable.Gracias

Comida fantástica Encantador comedor separado del bar público. La señora detrás del bar fue una alegría absoluta. Ella incluso tuvo la broma con mi marido que estaba bromeando sobre no pastel de queso. Sin duda volveremos en nuestra próxima visita y sin duda lo recomiendo.

Just had a great late lunch in our local, as always great service, and delicious food, scampi and curly fries, and a giant fish finger sub! Stuffed,

Qué hallazgo. . . Realmente disfrutamos de nuestra comida a la hora del almuerzo. . . . Teníamos mi pescado favorito con un (tattie al horno), quería estar saludable. . . . y los guisantes. . . 2 comidas encantadoras por poco más de diez. . . No fue problema para la camarera conseguir un tattie horneado en lugar de papas fritas. . . Qué amable y alegre dama. . . No hay tiempo para esperar por nuestra comida. . . . Terminamos nuestro almuerzo con un buen capuchino a un costo muy bajo. . . .Hay una buena selección de comidas para dos a un precio más razonable. . . .

Si te gusta la cocina de 5 estrellas, este no es el lugar para ti, pero si quieres comida decente de pub a muy buen precio, este es el lugar para venir. 2 cursos para 8. 50 o 9. Los postres 50 y BOGOF nos hacen regresar una y otra vez. El personal del bar es extremadamente amable y acogedor.

Fuimos el sábado por la noche. Tenía grandes esperanzas como se supo que era bueno. Tres de cada cuatro comidas no son buenas. Tenía envoltura de pudín de Yorkshire. Realmente duro y la carne adentro era realmente difícil. Dales lo que merecen, se disculparon y obtuve pescado y patatas fritas. Es triste decir que el pescado estaba demasiado cocinado. La comida de marido e hijos también fue decepcionante. Steak era difícil ya que las botas viejas y las patatas fritas no estaban frescas. El helado era de buena calidad, muy divertido.No me puedo quejar el personal. Fueron excelentesNo es probable que intente nuevamente en el futuro cercano.

Went here on Sunday afternoon as it close to where we were staying, typical chain pub offerings on the menu, food was surprisingly good and not expensive,after eating we went through to bar to watch the football, great pints off tenants and a friendly atmosphere.

Excellent value! You could describe the place as cheap and cheerful as it is both of those things - but it has the added bonus of excellent customer service and genuine value fir money.

Great food at really affordable prices, nice surroundings highly recommended, a very good menu, great staff and service I have been a few times.

Dejó a mis esposos sorprendidos aquí. El personal fue maravilloso, guardando el secreto y colocando carteles y globos. El buffet, que fue provisto por el perro negro, fue maravilloso, variado y abundante. También nos suministraron una discoteca que tocó música y solicitudes excelentes. La gerencia y el personal no podrían haber sido más serviciales o atentos. De hecho, lo pasamos tan bien que volvimos al día siguiente para almorzar. Masivo gracias a la gerencia y todo el equipo.

10 minutes walk from the Conference Centre. A real find although recommended by the Holiday Inn Express staff. Nice and relaxed, friendly and helpful staff, good food and then a two for one offer as a surprise addition. Nice.😁

We held our volunteer 'Thank You' Lunch at the Black Dog yesterday and what a fabulous day it was. The food was first class and so reasonably priced, the service was efficient and friendly, the staff were just so obliging and couldn't do enough to make this such a huge success. A massive big thank you to Sharon and the rest of the staff for making all our volunteers feel so special.

Had lunch here with the family on a Saturday and it was very pleasant. Great location with plenty parking. I had the sweet chilli chicken sub and it was great. Kids portions are quite big but they loved it.

My husband and myself had dinner with a couple of cousins and it was fab. We had mains and 2 of us had desserts. We then went through to the bar and never left till 11.30pm. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Encontré este lugar en línea como estaba buscando un lugar cerca de la AECC para comer antes de un concierto. El perro negro es de unos 1 km de distancia. Era fácil para reservar una mesa a través de la página web y el menú está disponible para ver.

Decidimos en el último minuto al pop de pub para cenar en vez de cocinar. Una mirada al menú y supe que estaba teniendo la fuente de pescado de ballenas, ya que estaba hambriento, nuestro hijo tenía su favorito de desayuno durante todo el día y mi esposa de pollo asado y patatas fritas. Todo llegó caliente y sabrosa. Mi hijo después de su desayuno decidimos pudding para él y convenció a su madre "compartir" para dos, fudge refresco no consigue todo, pero hacerse un hueco en la feria! Primera visita de clase

Hace poco visitamos el perro negro con un grupo muy grande de adultos y niños (escuadrón de gimnasio! ) así que nos llevó al restaurante! Todo el personal era muy amable y paciente y sirve las comidas muy rápidamente. Nos pre-ordenados por el tamaño de nuestro grupo y les dieron todo bien! Gran relación calidad-precio en la comida y todo estaba delicioso, especialmente el enorme postres! El chef salió personalmente, lo que fue un toque agradable. Recomiendo encarecidamente este pub, una decoración preciosa también!

Vinieron a comer aquí después de nuestras citas dentista. El servicio era estupendo, la comida eran precios muy sabroso y muy razonable. El chef incluso salió a limpiar la mesa 😄 a charlar con nosotros. Gracias chef! !

Comida genial, pub. Recomiendo encarecidamente el perro blanco a cualquiera. Frecuentado por 3 noches en una fila y nunca nos ha decepcionado con la comida y ofertas.

Fuimos después de trabajar y tenía un servicio encantador buena comida y una buena carcajada, y ha sido decorado desde la última vez que estuvimos allí. Buena elección en el menú también

Comimos aquí por cortesía de un bono en el Pub Company, Stonegate relativamente nuevo propietario. Vale vinieron debido a una visita hace unas semanas, cuando fuimos para el desayuno, como anuncian en su página web. Nos dijeron, en lugar para bruscamente, que no sirven desayuno, y cuando mencioné la página web, me dijo que era un 'genérico' del sitio. Contacto y recibido el bono Stonegate por medio de una disculpa, y me dijo que buscaría la información en el sitio web - a pesar de esto, el sitio web dice que todavía no desayuno! De todos modos, fuimos temprano para la última semana de la cena de personal sería colocarlo ligeramente, aunque el personal que había allí era muy agradable. Me había pescado y patatas fritas - pescado estaba bien, las patatas fritas eran buenas, masa estaba cruda y pasada - un accidente del chef intentando hacer frente por sí mismo, pienso. Esposo tenía una hamburguesa con queso y beicon, que disfrutó de bastante irónica situación, como cuando nos comer fuera yo soy la que normalmente disfruta de la experiencia más que mi marido no! Me gustó el gesto del bono, pero dudo que volveré y que necesitan para solucionar la información sitio web - hablar sobre publicidad engañosa!

Tuvimos un almuerzo aquí recientemente y fue una muy buena relación calidad-precio. Ofertas diarias incluyen una bebida con la comida y por el precio no te puedes equivocar. El salón y loos han sido renovadas recientemente y son frescas y limpias. El servicio también es buena. Lo recomiendo para un almuerzo barato y alegre.

It's standard pub grub done reasonably well and it is super cheap so really can't fault it. I had hunters chicken which was perhaps not the biggest portion but tasty and hubby had a cheese and bacon burger - also deemed nice. Drinks very reasonable and lounge was not overly busy but had a nice chilled atmosphere - although perhaps one or two many Halloween decorations. Only confusion was the wine list - didn't have the wines on the lists on the tables as running down wines from previous list, subsequently no sparkling wine at all only champagne. Surely if you have run out of the old sparkling wine you would get the new stuff in? Overall would return good value for money for a quick dinner.

The Black Dog has recently been refurbished. We have been there many times and it has always been good.. We were spoilt for choice with the menu. There was something for everyone. The prices were so reasonable. The food came out piping hot and DELICIOUS. The staff were friendly and attentive. The new decor stands well with the type of building it is. I loved my experience at the Black Dog. Would highly recommend.

Visited just after the refurb and had the worst experience of my lifeFood was terrible and only found out after we complained that there was no chef and the manageress was doing the cooking herselfShe can't cook......After much ado I managed to get half my money back and will not returnNot a great way to re open

Recently re-furbished "local pub" serves couthy meals and operates a separate lounge area from the public bar which can be a bit noisy. Good choice on the menu and wines are very reasonably priced.

ate here on few occasions, couldn't fault the place, food fresh and tasty, service nice and fast, I recommend this place to everyone!!

Had a meal in the newly refurbished lounge.Fish and Chips and Chicken Tikka Curry, both excellent and good value for money.Service was quick, staff friendly, in the new bright redecorated lounge.Will definitely be back again shortly.

Had a great lunch yesterday. Very cheap but excellent standard of food. Staff really friendly in casual surroundings.

We've eaten at the Black Dog on and off over the years but recently the food and menu has taken a very nice leap from decent to very good pubgrub. In our last visit we attempted the 'choose your items' plank. There are different options and we chose the prawns, ribs, fish goujons, southern fried chicken and filled skins - ahh fabulous. They all came nicely presented in cast iron bowls on a long plank, complete with different dips. To accompany this feast we had a delicious cheeky wee rosy wine and a beer. Perfect! All very good prices, comfortable surroundings and always friendly staff.

Wow such great deals and choices and huge servings at really low prices, and a buy one get one free on dessert. The place needs to be updated furniture wise but cannot fault the service or the food.

Made this my base for drink and scoff for a few days whilst attending a conference in Aberdeen. 27 years later and it was still the Black Dog. Food was OK and the staff were uber friendly

Altough lots of options to choose from the menu, most are deep fried. Lets say its at most a good fast food joint. Uninviting interior. And the very annoying "is everything alright?" from the employees.

Go to the black dog quite often for lunch when working. It's very cheap and the way pubs used to be. A little run down but a good bar, with friendly staff and cheap menu and pints.

If you're looking for a very cheap meal then you'll find it here. The food isn't bad but the place is in desperate need of some TLC. There's a good selection on the menu and it's very reasonable for a bottle of wine or a beer. If you don't mind the shabby surroundings then you'll be okay.
