BrewDog Aberdeen Castlegate in Aberdeen City

Lovely wee pub downstairs entertainement on some nights always great service and atmosphere

Superlative in every respect. Nice pub, well furnished, clean, in short, but the service, the exquisite food and their indescribable beer raise the level to the stars. What a beer guys, each a masterpiece in its own way. And let's not talk about the food. To avoid having the usual sandwich, I chose chips with Korean chicken on top, and a mini Mac n cheese like an Italian who isn't at all proud. It made me cry with every bite, I wanted a kilo of it. If you go to Scotland go to Brewdog, for goodness sake.

Cool Ale Shed, atmosphere and food was great! However, our waitress was a bit pushy about getting a small amount of money for a drink, but it's still worth a visit!

Best places to visit if you are at Aberdeen. A lot of choices to drink

Well done, excellent place with good food and good beer, a must stop if you are in the center of Aberdeen.

Nice place to go & eat with ur dug! I just don't like their beer 😕 but doesn't deter!

Burgers are a little on the overcooked side but the atmosphere was great. Me and the family + dog enjoyed it

Nice bar, staff really friendly and helpful - lovely food....and board games available to play as well - what's not to like 🙂

Typical brewdog, friendly staff, nice beer, decent food, a bit overpriced.

Friendly staff and clean premises. The highlight for me were the various beers brewed by BrewDog which is my favorite brand of beers. I highly recommend a stop if you love craft beers.

My Kids and I had fun at this place. Never knew I could find a kid-friendly pub. The food was amazing and the music was awesome.

Super nice place with atmosphere. The staff is very friendly, the ratios are quite complete. I recommend it !

one of the worst experiences of my life. I had booked a table at 9pm for 7 people, when we arrived we were told by the manager that since there were 2 minors, they had to leave at 10pm. so at that point we asked if we would have time to eat since there was an hour left, the manager with a very safe area told us that the food would arrive in 20 minutes and that we would therefore have time to eat. we ordered at 21:05 and we already had the first problem with the drinks, they were 7 cokes but we had to remind them to bring them since 20 minutes had already passed and they hadn't arrived. After It was 9.45pm and unfortunately the food wasn't ready yet, so they made us pay for the drinks (which was absurd) and we had to leave since the minors who were with us couldn't stay there from 10.00pm onwards. . just one word. Embarrassing

We booked a table for 7 people for 9pm. When we got there the first thing they told us was that minors weren’t allowed to be inside the place after 10pm, which was fine, although it would’ve been better if they let us know earlier, when the booking was placed. We took our order at about 9:10pm, and they assured us that the wait would just be 20 minutes. However at 9:40pm the food still hadn’t arrived which was why we asked the waiters when it would come otherwise the minors wouldn’t have had time to eat the food. The waiters told us that there was a problem in the kitchen and just shrugged it off when we told them that the minors wouldn’t have had time. In the end we were charged £23.50 for 6 pints of coke. Because clearly there wouldn’t have been enough time. And even when we did leave, the food was obviously nowhere near ready! Honestly, it was just such a shame as because of the poor service, a birthday was ruined. Thanks, Brewdog. We will never forget this awful experience.

I will never go to this place again. Having two minors with us we couldn't stay past 10pm, but they assured us that we could have dinner. However, at 9.40pm nothing had arrived and we had to leave. The worst thing is that they made us pay for the drinks we didn't consume, shame!!

Excellent vegan wings and great beer

Had a great time with our puppy. Went in for the weekend brunch and it was really nice. the cocktails were strong but delicious and the food was tasty.

Brilliant brewdog bar, definitely one of the best

We had so much fun here! The staff are great, food was great and drink options are superb!

Didn't eat here, but the staff were very friendly, helpful. Great atmosphere and very welcoming.

We stayed for a couple of nights at the kennels, which were great rooms. Downstairs, in the bar we were so well looked after. We will definitely visit again.

Beer range smaller than expected but nice bar and lovely atmosphere

We love brew dog but unfortunately we’ve had such a terrible experience yesterday. I’ve ordered chicken Caesar salad and what I’ve got cannot be described. It was barely three slices of chicken, a sprinkle of Parmesan and a lot of old lettuce with spicy sauce, for nearly £13. We’ve also got potatoes which were reheated and tasted like they were a week’s old. The waitress never came to ask us how the food was and it was overall very bad.

Great place with excellent atmosphere, great service and a selection of unique beers.

Always great food and friendly service. The buffalo chicken burger is amazing!

Food is not so great, dirty tables, slow service

Great place to sit, staff where great fast service no waiting around for drinks or food. The atmosphere is lively, light and airy. We had a couple of things to share cheese bacon fries and chicken wings. Coke and beer are good plenty of choices. Husband had a taster paddle off different beers of your choice to try. Also they have a range of cans and bottles of beer to buy and take home. Food was good. Toilets are clean. There is a seating area out the front, a few wooden benches would be nice to sit out on a warm day.

Great place for enjoy a local beer in my case I taste black heart stout beer very very tasty ambience was good they have QR code method for ordering one for food other one for beers enjoy it

Great Location.....👍 Good Local Specials As Usual.... Sorry, But I Think Your Frozen Cocktails Are Overpriced....

Lots of choice of their craft beers and the service was excellent. A bit of a let down with the chicken burger I ordered. It was so sloppy with relishes and sauces I could not hold it. It was a bit of a put off when eating a soggy bun. Could not taste the burger for the additional sauces etc. However we enjoyed our afternoon, thank you staff

Smashing place to eat n drink staff super friendly and knowledgeable

Ws in other Saturday, early on. Service was quick. Staff were all friendly and chatty. Good Times!! 😎👍👍

The fact that Brewdog manages to provide much better service and food than fancy specialised restaurants is impressive. The staff here are great, the food is very good and the prices are right. The beer selection of course is second to none. The one new thing I've tried is the Deep-Fried Oreo which I ordered expecting to be gimmicky, but were actually good! Overall a great experience as is usually the case at Brewdog pubs.

Craft beers produced by the boys, a Scottish brewery that has nothing to envy of many other famous ones. Absurd sandwich, delicious. Giant and difficult to manage, but excellent tastes and textures. Inside the best onion rings I've ever eaten: crunchy and tasty, they fear no comparison. The bread is also noteworthy... in short, the perfect sandwich. Well done!

Excellent burger, lovely staff.

Decent beer, relaxed atmosphere

Staff working like a well oiled team! Pleasant couple of hours. Only quibble is thge new small beer menu.

Brilliant food, drink and student deals. Great place to do work or come for a chill pint. Decent games as well

Well how do I start, booked a table even after reading the revues because we had been before and at that time everything was great, when we arrived young lady showed us to our seats, well looked like a table for two we we had four so asked waitress no your table is right asked were we put everything and she just shrugged her shoulders, ordered one drink and took so long to come i went to bar next time and saved 20 minutes and was nearly finished that before we were asked if we wanted another but by this time our friends had not eaten there food and neither had my wife, i had eaten mine but not very hot and no taste with macaroni, my friends had said there's was cold and no taste so what a waste of time taking them in to try a new restaurant for them.We spent around £83 for this and would not have given you a tenner for the lot, if your chef needs to learn how to make good mac and cheese then my wife could give him a lesson.

Didn't eat but nice clean place with friendly staff

Nice and quiet when we were there and enjoyed a couple of glasses of very nice Rose Wine.

Food was honestly lacking, burgers are fine but nothing special. Can't beat the craft beer though second to none.

Not a Brew Dog fan so always going to be hard to please. £40 for 6 drinks and not great beer (imho) dearest drinks of the day, not for me.

Not bad, burgers were nice and good service

Plenty of options for drinks & food. relaxed atmosphere too! Very central!

Food was lovely but £10.50 for a large glass of White wine takes the biscuit.

Nice place and the food looked lovely

Popped in for a quick catch up was surprisingly 👍

Great burgers and beers. Friendly, attentive service.

Standard brewdog Mostly brewdog beers with a few guest beers Friendly helpful staff

Great staff with good variety of craft beer and nice burgers

Great place for a drink and some food. Quality of the burger was great.

The service was very slow, we waited a long time for our drinks every time we ordered some.

As always amazing! Food was lovely, the service was excellent 😏

Absolutely fantastic food! The wings are always top notch and seem to get better everytime. The cheeseburger is on of the best, and the beer and wine selection is top drawer. Would highly recommend!!

Very helpful & attentive staff. Great night with friends

Pub molto accogliente con vasta scelta di birre e cibo buono. Personale gentile.

Super tasty/massive wings, great Scottish Gins

Good food and decent atmosphere. Staff friendly and do great job.

Very poor service from female server. Was treated to rolling eyeballs when I explained the situation regarding my allergies. Felt like we were an unwanted distraction when trying to order a dessert. In the end after waiting 30 minutes for two scoops of ice cream cancelled it as we had to leave. Meal consisted of tomatoes , peppers. Advacado and mushrooms. Not great , but the kitchen tried at short notice. Really disappointed in my first Brewdog meal. Will not be back

Must-visit while in Aberdeen. The staff was super friendly and patient for not native speakers :), delicious food and very good beer. I recommend also gin drinks.

Had a fab night for our works xmas party. Would definitely recommend to others. Great atmosphere and food/drink lovely.

The hot wings are just Ace!!! Highly recommended. Wednesday eat as much as you can is a treat but gotta book in advance

Goed eten. Ook betalen aan de bar mogelijk. Vriendelijke bediening. Individuele betaling goed mogelijk.

Great alcohol free pint (punk AF) 👍

Nightmare scenario, castle gate Brewdog flooded so unable to have our work’s Christmas meal. Good news we were able to transfer our booking to Union Square. Bad news, food was not the same as what was on offer at Castlegate. Not impressed as food was mildly warm and no festive atmosphere whatsoever!

Wide selection of dishes to choose from in the menu, including several vegetarian and vegan options. Nice and relaxed atmosphere. I'd recommend it for a coffee in the afternoon or for lunch or dinner.

Η καλύτερη craft μπύρα 🍻🍻🍻🍻. Ωραίο μαγαζί. Θα μας θυμούνται για χρόνια λόγω ατμόσφαιρας.

Great place,very friendly staff... I am one of the PAOK fans yesterday, and I must say,you guys all the stuff were awesome 👌 👏 Extra credits to Catherine, the lady behind the bar,helping front of the house as well Top class burgers Definitely coming back

Brilliant every time I come and eat here. The beers are the main attraction but the food is just as much a winner.

We had 2 burgers (huge) and 2 sides, coffee and coke. Everything was excellent, well cooked and very tasty.

Great beer, great food, cool vibe.

So o have been waiting for 45 minutes so far for a portion of loaded fries, and the only response I got was it would longer, a bit ridiculous waiting times, if you can't get food out in a timely manner then don't sell food

Sonlme of the best chicken wings I have had outside the states. They are breaded. Burgers are also very good. Table service can be a bit slow if busy, but there is enough staff that the line at the bar goes quickly.

Booked a table for 14 for the Scotland vs Ireland rugby, in downstairs bar. Given the popularity of this match I would have expected the bar in this area to be open but no! Was a pain to have to go upstairs to get drinks and the service in the main bar was painfully slow. I probably missed 50% of the rugby with trips to the bar and the time it took to get drinks poured. The staff were very nice and helpful just not enough of them for a Saturday night. Also the BrewDog website promised a free pint of Black Heart for all table bookings of 12 and over BUT this does not apply to Scotland! It's in the small print which I should have read but please make this VERY CLEAR on the headline 'advert' on the webpage BrewDog. This was a big part of why we booked your bar for the rugby, so very disappointed. Food was great as always, beer excellent, good spot for sports watching, just need more staff on busy nights and a bit more urgency when serving customers.

Their redefine plant burger was delicious

Great food, reasonable service albeit order online. cramped seating in booths.

Took a while to get seated and no one came to take our payment or ask if we wanted a second drink. However the staff were very friendly and it was quite busy so can understand. Food and drinks were very tasty so will be back.

Great brewdog bar as usual. The food was exceptional actually and the choice of beers and sours is just brilliant. I also bought some glasses here even though they don't normally sell them. Superb place to head for a couple of juicy ones

Cool looking place, huge selection of beer and food. Would probably go again even though JD across the street is hugely better value for the drinks. I know it doesn't necessarily compare. Food is very American and for that too high priced for me.

Best Brewdog location in the area. Great beers and food. The chicken wings are my favourite. Lots of staff and short wait times.

The wings were so crisp, juicy and fresh tasting. Amazing value as went for wing Wednesday but only managed 17 wings! Reccomend trying the Korean if your not a fan of spice but both wings are quite spicy. Amazing service 10/10

We have now been in a good few BrewDog bars,and the Aberdeen was one of the busiest due to the time of day we visited. The staff were way out numbered by customers, and I am sorry to say the service quality suffered as a consequence. It's still a great bar. Some staff need to be more reactive. Others were working their socks off.

Very friendly staff, was welcomed and immediately gave the doggos 2 big bowls of water.

Simply not a fan... nothing bad to say about the place, but nothing particularly good springs to mind either. Some of the staff are that kind of people that look at you over the rim of their glasses with a partial look of disdain or disgust. That doesn't help. The beer, and I've given it plenty chances, is simply not to my taste. Possibly too hoppy, definitely too bitter and with a soapy aftertaste, but plenty people enjoy it so don't take my word for it. The food in this place is pretty good, not the healthiest of options, but I'd say the quality is there. So don't wright it off due to my low rating, but I feel it's my duty to give an honest opinion.

Gemütliches Restaurant mit freundlichem Service. Unsere zwei vegetarischen Burger und auch die mit Fleisch waren sehr gut. Die Pommes haben leider nicht mit den Bürgern mithalten können aber waren auf alle Fälle besser als aus mancher Fast Food Kette. Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen. Das Bier ist aus aller Welt oder kommt aus der eigenen Brauerei, wir hatten Wasser als Getränk bestellt, leider schmeckte dieses ganz stark nach Chlor, das würden wir nicht mehr bestellen. Aber alles in allem würden wir dort auf alle Fälle wieder zum Essen kommen.

Not sure if there was a kitchen staffing issue but food prep time was extremely slow, despite the restaurant not being busy at all. There was a significant proportion of the menu not available including all chicken dishes and a large section of the brunch menu, which was what we had actually gone for. Our daughter’s meal was cold but had taken so long we didn’t have time to ask for it to be reheated. Also surprising in these days to be told that they don’t do decaf coffees. We’ve eaten in many other BrewDogs and had a good experience, so this one was disappointing.

Went here for our evening meal there’s a good selection of drinks and an extensive menu. Our waiter was great helpful and knowledgable about the food and drink. The restaurant was spotlessly clean. The food came out quickly and was well presented and was really tasty. The onion rings were the best I’ve ever had, the Mac ‘n’ cheese in a mug was really good with crispy onions on the top.

La mejor hamburguesería y cervecería que he probado nunca. Empezando por las cervezas que son espectaculares, artesanales, de gran variedad para todos los gustos, además de innovadoras, y siguiendo por las patatas y las hamburguesas que están increíbles. Recomiendo la de pollo frito con salsa picante. Sigue siendo uno de mis lugares favoritos.

Attentive staff, good food served quickly and hot with decent sized portions. Will be back again soon...

I ate chicken burger and the chicken was really soft! I like it :) and they have variety of beers

Brilliant. Thank you brewdog .

I got a beer from the fridge that wasn’t cold at all, all I could get was some ice for it they said. Who puts ice in their beer? No apology as well. The staff needs some training would be my best guess. From a brand like Brewdog I expected a bit more from their own taproom. I really like their beers but preferably from a cold fridge. My girlfriend got a beer from the tap and that one was great! I hope this won’t happen next time we visit!

Mooie kroeg met de juiste sfeer. Personeel vriendelijke en behulpzaam.

I normally like BrewDog but the bar staff were very rude and unwelcoming. The guy with a shaved head and tattoos on his neck and head has to go - NOT a nice guy!

Small chain specializing in craft brews, especially IPAs and Pale Ales. The atmosphere is great, located in an old part of Aberdeen with gothic revival architecture all around. The staff was friendly and attentive and told us to sit where we liked. They had one Imperial IPA, that came in around 7-8% ABV, the rest were pretty good, straightforward stuff with an ABV around 4-5.5%. There were a few guest taps, a kolsch and a lager. One space for non-alcoholic beer that was blank at the moment. Their menu was varied and had a number of specials throughout the week to entice people in. They had a few salads and wings and some cauliflower and seitan wings for the vegans. Our food was good, but a little spicy. Would recommend to anyone looking for a couple of different beers and upscale pub food with vegan / vegetarian options.

Wonderful place! Stopped in for lunch. Try the Neon Dream beer - a wonderful light, fruity, and refreshing beer. We loved the loaded Korean chicken fries and salad. Our friends had the cauliflower buffalo bites which were also great. Vegan and vegetarian friendly. Worth stopping in!

Outstanding flavors! Unusual combos. Great staff. Came for the IPA, made it all the way to dessert.

Tanti piatti vegetariana e vegana, lo staff gentilissimi ma sopra tutto SUPER dog friendly 🐶👍

Now I come here whenever I'm in Aberdeen for work, this latest time whilst ordering food they have a card reader tip machine on the bar, I'm not a tipper, like to decide if I should or not, but this machine automatically took my money whilst I was at the bar to pay with my phone for my food without my permission. Don't stand to close to tip machine if paying be contactless or NFC phone if you don't want to tip Otherwise BD is ok
