Old School House in Aberdeen City

Will Definately be back! What a great pub for drinks, staff so friendly looked after from a lovely lady called louise Next time we’re in aberdeen we will be back

Went for lunch the other day and had a nice meal outside. The scampi was very nice and the food came quickly and was of decent quality. The staff were lovely, the price was good, the only reason I cannot give 5 stars is that the inside had a greasy and boozy smell and the floor was quite sticky. If some improvements were made and I visited again I would definitely reconsider.

Friendliest pub in Aberdeen! Atmosphere with the dj was incredible will definitely be back. We were only meant to be in for a couple but Bronwen convinced us to stay all night!!

Took my wife and son for light lunch and drinks and the service from Neil and Andrew, Kieran was very good. Friendly and very quick with order. Good laugh and relaxed atmosphere. My son who has a learning disabilities was made to feel relaxed and enjoyed a conversation with the manager Paul who took his time to chat with him Thanks guys xx see you all again soon x

Great service by Neil, highly recommended, food was great and made an effort to ensure we had a table despite the restaurant being very busy

Had a successful business meeting here on Saturday, Kirsty our server was very efficient Thanks Bradley

Shocking service.Twice ordered drinks to see them sit at the bar for 15 minutes whilst other later orders were delivered . Complained to manager who blamed shortage of staff!!. How can that be when they can deliver freshly poured orders but not ours.Attitude of general manager was very poor 2nd time of complaining. Threw a refund at us and told us to go elsewhere. Would avoid in future

Friendly atmosphere, attentive staff and lots of tasty things on the new menu. Good deals on the tapa type style plates and decent portion sizes :)

Visited the Old Schoolhouse for a light lunch today, coinciding with the launch of their new menu. There are some interesting options on there, we had the new Soup and Chicken & Lime Tacos, with a round of chunky chips. Both dishes were very tasty and the staff were very helpful and attentive. We stayed for a couple of pints, and were served by Neil, Davy and Bronwen, all very friendly and made a nice recommendation for a new beer to try. Thanks!

Had a great time here. We were looking for dinner quite late and thankfully the old school house was still serving. Had a wonderful server called Kirsty who put up with our silliness. Honestly if I could have put Kirsty in charge of the whole restaurant I would. Brilliant attitude, fun, chatty and just the right level of attentiveness to what we needed. Going back for the rugby because of the fun we had at dinner.

Food was delicious. Was served by fantastic server called Kirsty, who was very friendly and efficient. Overall would recommend.

On our travels we decided to visit the Old School House to watch Scotland vs England football match, a most delightful Louise was able to arrange safe seating and catered for our needs leaving us with a great experience. Staff were excellent, food was great, I recommend anyone travelling to Aberdeen to visit.

Great location central to shops. Ate outside with jug of cocktail. Service quick despite being busy. Staff friendly. Covid procedures in place, well monitored.

In on saturday for the football. Busy but felt really safe and could clearly see the staff doing their absolute best to keep everyone within the rules while still giving us a great night. 100% be back soon. Well done to the Team absolutely amazing

Kirsty was extremely friendly and attentive. Quality of food qualifies our rating. Atmosphere in restaurant was good

Excellent service. Courtney was an amazing and tentative waitress. Would 10/10 recommend! Very caring and made sure everything was okay but didn’t check up on us too much

Love Old School House- here to watch Champions League final and there were screens all over the shop, magic table service and good cold beer- what more is there!!!

Great food, Great Staff, Great drinks! Was served tonight by two fantastic members of staff didn’t catch their names but they were very welcoming and helpful. Will defo be back!

We booked 6 weeks in advance for our visit and it was worth it. Staff were friendly and followed their guidelines. Our table had been cleaned prior to us arriving. Using the app for ordering drinks was clear and quick. Our drinks arrived without too much of a wait. The Godfather cocktail is definitely recommended.

Went out for nice romantic meal, had booked as per covid restrictions, table was ready on arrival and in great spot. The staff all said hello and drinks and food arrived very quickly. Could not finish the meal as portion was massive and worth every penny can not fault this place.

Three of our group were vegan and were not overwhelmed with the choices. The stuff - Vicky (a fellow vegan) and David (kitchen chef) really supported us. Changing parts of the menu to give us a vegan friendly visit. We got vegan NACHOS!! Highlight of the visit. Staff were so accomodating, cleaning between preparing our meal to reduce cross contamination. Don't let the options on the menu put you off the food is still great and the staff make the trip all worthwhile.Now its time for dessert!!!!

Friendly staff, very kind and helpful.Our server Vicky made us feel incredibly welcome and gave us an honest and super helpful guidance over our options as vegan/vegetarian customers. Although a small variety of vegan options, chef David managed to prepare great food and even veganize some starters!100% recommend!

Great staff. Great atmosphere and food was super too Paul Louise and all staff make you feel very welcome. Great place

The Atmosphere and drinks were outstanding , staff were really nice and fast service. Social distancing measures were stuck to and they were very cautious.Defo recommended there expresso martinis 🍸 100% a must vist.

Came in for a breakfast and we will definitely be back It Tasted so good, not deep fat fried cooked fresh Staff here are great

We wandered up to Old School House on May day Sunday on the off chance of a table, Louise kindly managed to squeeze us in. She got our drinks quickly and soon sorted a mishap we had with the app. Louise kindly shifted us to a more comfortable and more sheltered table. Her and her colleagues’ service couldn’t have been better, especially in the current situation.

The staff including Kirsty went out their way to ensure we had a great time and everyone stayed safe during our visit. Odd times but good times :)

Yes its hard times and covid, pissing down, umbrellas don't cover tables or seats. Ordered some drinks them staff say you have to sit down or.leave as its the rules. Asked for a dry seat and given one sheet of blue paper towel. Tried to stand under umbrella and staff not having it.asked for money back and left. Staff really don't care and attitude horrible. Will not be back...

Was in today for lunch with some friends. The staff were obviously very busy but this didn't stop them delivering excellent service. They were very attentive. Kirsty served us however the other staff members were also very nice and helpful. I had fish and chips, portion was very good for the price we paid, lovely crispy batter. All in all a great lunch. Worth mentioning their gin prices are very reasonable also :)

Happy Halloween!👻☠ welcoming staff, great atmosphere, some laughs with Lauren. Had some drinks in a windy hair raising day (shame you can't control the weather!) Will be back

Met by Kirsty and got a seat outside, lovely atmosphere and staff especially Kirsty were very attentive. Went inside for food, fish and chips was delicious and I had the brunch burger which was so tasty. Warming friendly atmosphere and we will certainly be back for another visit soon

Fantastic service by really friendly staff - Kirsty and Bronwen. Went above and beyond to get us a seat to watch the rugby. Food was excellent quality too

Got the bbq burger with chips and onion rings. Great burger was well worth it. Decent chips and fair amount of them only thing was the onion rings bit soggy and not much taste but other than that great meal highly recommend a visit to anyone.

Kieran was really nice. atmosphere was good even if it was a cold night. 10/10 stars would go again.

Went on a Friday night and was seated and served so quickly it was not expected. Kieran looked after us all night having wonderful banter with us all that made our visit just that little bit letter on the freezing night. 10/10 would return again

Had a lovely experience At old school house one of my favourite places to go Late birthday meal with my chum,( clean and felt very comfortable due to the circumstances )Kirsty was very attentive and the food cooked by david and Daniel was yummy Look forward to our next visit in December Cheers guys keep up the good work

Food & drink excellent social distancing & cleanliness 100% & friendly & helpful staff could be done with some heaters outside

Came here to catch up with an old friend and felt really safe with all the protocols in place. Everything was explained well before we were seated, along with the option to either order via the app or use table service. Our amazing server Kirsty was super friendly and made everything as easy as possible. Will definitely return. Thank you for a great afternoon.

My family often eat and drink in the old school house but haven't tried the Sunday roast until yesterday, all the food came in a huge square Yorkshire pudding, all was cooked to perfection thanks to David who prepared it for us, the short time we were allowed to be there due to restrictions we were looked after very well by kirsty and the rest of the helpful team

Booked online for four - 2 couples, 2 households - for a 2 hour afternoon slot after lunch at a nearby restaurant. Arrived to be told table had been cancelled - not by us - but that they could accommodate us. However, we would be at two tables, some distance apart in different areas of the bar. The person who was controlling tables insisted this was in keeping with Govt guidelines - despite these saying that in outside licensed venues "no more than 6 people from up to 2 different households should meet at a time". We had no interest in splitting the party, so left and went to the first bar we found - Slains Castle - where we were quickly given a table for four. We could have done the same at every other bar in Belmont Street. Times are hard enough without some idiot making up new rules to make life harder. Needless to say we won't be back.

Visited last night, booked in advance as we thought Friday would be busy, definitely a good shout! Beer garden was packed but service was excellent - the three girls working all so friendly, only got the name of Robyn. Very clean and Covid safe too- would definitely reccomend

Was in for a drink and they have a great system going for a table. Ann- Marie the waitress was very helpful and very friendly what else can you ask for at these difficult times. Thank you

Literally the safest place to go right now if going out! Staff very professional and service excellent, especially the one dressed as a Brussel-sprout! 👌🤣

Shopping is thirsty work so stopped at The Old School House for a bottle of wine or 2. Very well organised for social distancing & Ann-Marie who served us was very friendly, will definitely be back 😊

Friendly staff, tasty fajitas and tuesday they have the deal on so value for money! Worth a visit! :)

Fuimos a almorzar mientras estábamos en Aberdeen, y realmente me alegro de haberlo hecho. Recibido por una hermosa joven que rápidamente sacó información para rastrear y rastrear y explicó cómo cada delgado iba a funcionar con las pautas de covid. Luego nos sentó en nuestra mesa y nos hizo sentir realmente a gusto. La comida era excelente, así como el ambiente. Bueno, definitivamente volveré la próxima vez que esté en la ciudad. Quiero mencionar a la camarera / anfitriona Lauren. ¡Profesional, rápido, amable y encantador para hablar!

Entré mientras estaba en la ciudad, me recibió en la puerta una mujer encantadora, se sentó rápidamente y se tomó el pedido de bebidas de inmediato. Todo el personal es acogedor y amable.Pedí el pollo característico de los cazadores y este estaba realmente delicioso, lleno de sabor y abundante en el plato. Mi compañero pidió un filete de lomo doble con haggis, ¡estaba cocinado a la perfección! ! Dice que es el mejor bistec que ha comido y que ha pagado un precio justo por un bistec de menor calidad. Fotos solo de bistec, ya que no podía esperar para cavar y no esperaba una foto jaja. ¡100% recomendado! Gracias a todos por hacer que nuestra visita sea acogedora y una gran experiencia en general.

Greeted and seated by Sheena, and it was an all round great service. Informative of new restrictions and very friendly!

Best place to visit while COVID-19 is still happening, Louise made sure that the experience was the best, was a hot day and we had a table inside but as soon as there was a table free she let us sit outside! 11/10 to Louise!!!

Really good pub with the correct rules in place for the pandemic, still a really good experience as always. Louise was very helpful and directed everyone to the correct places and helped everyone out with any queries they had about covid19.

Es genial ver tantas cosas sucediendo en el pub con respecto al distanciamiento social y usar la aplicación fue tan fácil (definitivamente recomiendo descargarla) gracias al servicio del bar adien y Amber y la comida fue fabulosa, aunque no pudimos agradecer a los chefs nosotros mismos transmitimos nuestro agradecimiento hasta la próxima gracias

Genial, los pubs están abiertos, fantástico para volver a la casa de la vieja escuela. El pub se veía genial Limpio, fresco, El personal era muy servicial y amable. Explicaron los nuevos procedimientos que nos sentimos bienvenidos relajados y ahorrados para estar fueraLa Dama de la puerta era preciosa. empezó a llover y sin preguntar, se acercó y dijo que tenía un tabke dentro para nosotros si queríamosVolveremos, definitivamente recomiendo The Old School houseEl jardín de la cerveza es genial, me encantan los colores en las mesas.

had the signature hunters chicken and partner had battered haloumi, both meals was fantastic. Louise, Lauren and Sheena helped greatly in building our confidence of safety measures in place throughout our vist

Heard about this place from a friend who watches all sporting events hear. Always tells me that although can be very busy, especially at the weekend that the service is good.Went with a collegue for a work luch. Quite a few people in but place is massive. Good atmostphere, nice soft music. Staff were very efficient and seemed to know their products. I had the lunch deal, steak sandwich, fries and a soft drink, well priced, just over £7.50. My collegue had a burger which she said was deliciious and a gin and tonic. She said her burger was nice. She also had a gin and tonic which was very cheap and looked amazing, served in a big gin goblet. Excellent experience, we will be back, thank you Old school house, we have somewhere differenct to go! Loced the newsletter on table, tells you whats coming up and seems like a lot going on.

Solo tomamos bebidas aquí, aunque la comida se sirve si quieres una comida.Es un pub grande pero tiene un buen ambiente ya que los asientos y las mesas están en varios niveles y alcobas y no solo en una gran sala.¡Los inodoros subieron muchas escaleras y pasillos y definitivamente me recordaron a los inodoros escolares!Pensamos que el costo de las bebidas era alto ya que estos eran los más caros que compramos toda la noche y fuimos a 5 pubs.

Great pub to watch football, manchester derby last night, great atmosphere, great service. Had the fish and chips, loved it, massive and very tasty. Great pints too, recently got morreti in and just happens to be my favourite, although you really are spoilt for choice.

Came in on Wednesday for a few drinks, all was well in the evening, the bar tender was honestly amazing, explained different offers and was really chatty! Then I ordered a round that cost approx £18. Not 3 minutes after I sat down with the round the last orders bell rang out. We imagined this would give us at least 15-30mins; enough time to finish our drinks, but the rude manager came over and told us to drink up. She left for 5 mins and came back asking us to leave. We checked the website and it said they closed at 12, when we asked her she just listed the closing times for the week and said the licensing means they close at 11pm.. I bought my drinks after 11pm without being warned. I told her how much I’d paid and that we were not leaving until we had finished our drinks as we’d spent nearly £20 and she graciously gave us a couple of minutes to finish. Awful service and attitude. The only thing that’s old school about this place is the managers attitude.

Great place for a night out, hired out one of the upstairs section, buffet was great And lots of it. Staff were fantastic, great atmosphere

Went in to meet friends for drinks it was very busy but good service , food serviced we only ordered nachos were told how long it would take as they were busy and it arrived before said time , will definitely return,

Was very busy but the staff were very attentive and accommodating. All the food was great and atmosphere was fantastic. A great time was had by all of us.

Tres de nosotros fuimos antes del teatro. Tomó un tiempo hacer nuestro pedido. Solo 2 cajas pero un poco de cola. No todos los platos llegaron al mismo tiempo. Una de nuestras personas le quemó la boca tratando de comer antes de que nos tuviéramos que ir. No elegiría volver a comer.

Visité ayer (viernes) con mi hijo, encontré un asiento y ordené en el bar, tuve que esperar un poco por la comida pero valió la pena la espera, las gambas y las papas fritas estaban deliciosas, a mi hijo le encantó su hamburguesa de pollo con tocino agregado y batatas fritas , lugar extremadamente amigable y Kirsty no pudo hacer más por nosotros y nos brindó un excelente servicio al cliente, Kirsty bien hecho, sin duda volveremos ????????????????

Miré en algunos lugares hasta que encontré este, ya que todo lo que quería era una papa horneada que se llenara sanamente, difícil de encontrar a veces. En este lugar encantado de tener una papa al horno con 2 coberturas en oferta, tuve chile y frijoles. El chile tenía una patada encantadora y la papa era encantadora y esponjosa por dentro, también había una pequeña ensalada. Absolutamente delicioso y lo recomendaría muchísimo. Tomé una foto pero estaba a la mitad.

This pub is always busy but fairly large so usually get a table. If it’s a sunny day it’s great to sit outside. Always a good place to go for day drinks too, went here in July (not first time) with friends. Had food before and it’s tasty and food portions, reasonable prices for being so central.

Was in last week and they had live music in garden and the guy was great. Atmosphere inside and out was great. Had some food and few drinks, will defo go back

Popped in for few after dinner drinks and great atmosphere speedy service. Planned just the one and we ended up staying for a few due to such a great experience.

Otra gran noche en la casa de la escuela ayer. Como de costumbre, estaba ocupado pero, como de costumbre, la gerencia tenía el lugar bajo control y no tuvimos que esperar mucho para tomar una copa. Gran gama gran servicio y una noche fantástica. Gracias nuevamente a su equipo por el excelente servicio al cliente.

Just had terrible food ... very slow ... awful ... however customer service first class ... think they realised not one of their finest days ... would go back on a good day ...

Old Schoolhouse was a great venue for a reunion - or indeed any other occasion. Staff were friendly & very helpful from the moment i contacted them.

Called in when unable to find the Cricket on in other pubs. Multiple screens showing Cricket, Football etc so was perfect for me. Staff friendly and attentive and food looked excellent. Definitely worth a visit.

At 5pm on a Saturday evening, we figured we’d be ahead of the pub crowd. Boy, were we wrong! After walking into six pubs and unable to find empty seats for the two of us to sit together, we stumbled onto Old Schoolhouse and found a couple of booths behind the bar. Lucky for us, soccer was on the TV directly in front of us and we enjoyed watching those matches. Service is at the bar - you give them your table number, they dispense the drinks when you order, and bring the food to your table. Payment is rendered when you order, so for subsequent libations, you ‘belly up to the bar’ and order and pay as you go. This serves as a self-administered sobriety test, I guess! As one reviewer put it, you could do a lot worse than eating here, but it was good, solid pub food and the fish & chips was good. Skip the desserts; they are obviously a culinary afterthought, but appetizers are a good choice. Fun place to hang out, for shore, and a good selection of beers.

In last night to watch the game which was brilliant and made even more special by the atmosphere of the pub. Cannot fault this place. It was so busy yet they managed not keep anyone waiting for drinks. Credit has to go to the manager being able to handle such a busy environment. Will definitely watch the final here.

Pizza was fantastic, service from louise and Paul was brilliant highly recommend popping in for some food

If you like gin, you are going to love this place! We had a great night here, good atmosphere and friendly staff who make you feel welcome! Special thank you to Lauren for looking after us :) We will definitely return on our next visit.

Had a great pizza and enjoyed my accompanying drinks. The bar staff Lauren and Louise were very welcoming and gave me great advice about what was on in town this week. Really enjoyed my visit and will return 😊

A cosy pub with nice nooks to fit anyone's fancy i.e. if you are after a blether with your family, a nice quiet drink on your lonesome or watching a football match with your mates - it has it all.

For a sports bar this place has an amazing gin selection, which Louise was very helpful with! It’s a cosy and friendly place, and the food is great too. Would definitely recommend!

Lugar asombroso. Las tres cosas mencionadas anteriormente son todo lo que busco en un pub, no me decepcionó. Todo servido con una gran sonrisa y muy eficientemente debo agregar.

Great time tonight. Steak pie was amazing. Louise looked after us and what an asset to the pub she is.

In right now having a great fish and chips for lunch. Nice atmosphere and lovely and relaxed after a morning of shopping

Out for a few drinks on Saturday, wow our gin cane in lovely big gin glasses lots of fruit just how your meant to have GIN

Very few places i visit that merit a poor review. Had a mixed grill, ordered a medium steak , cooked only on one side raw on the other and chicken obviously just out of the fridge.

We popped past for lunch again today, we love it here, staff are so friendly and the food was quick and very tasty, recommend hallumi fries starter, belhaven steak pie

Went in for Lunch. The place is all decorated for the 6 nations and looks amazing. Have watched a couple of matches here and the atmosphere was fantastic. Can see a tv from anywhere you sit. Staff are always very good and today was no different. Have a slightly different menu from other Belhaven pubs in the area and I do like it. Had steak pie, tasted lovely and piping hot. My partner had the sandwich deal, really nice, and brilliant value.

Fikk beskjed om at det var over en time å vente på maten, pga sykdom.

stopping for something to eat here and the choice on the menu was great but then it arrived it was not nice at all, extremely poor, heated up frozen food of a poor quality

Esperamos una hora y diez minutos por la comida, cuando llegó, estaba en pedazos durante otros 25 minutos.

Shopping yesterday and stopped in by here for a bite and a drink. Atmosphere is always good as is the drink but the food was terrible. Ordered at the bar no problem, we then changed tables which I informed a guy at the bar who was restocking the clean glasses and he’s like yeah yeah that’s fine we’ll find you, wasn’t surprised when they went to the wrong table and we had to shout him over. Wife had a chicken, bacon and cheese burger which was not even good on the eye never mind the bland tastelessness of it. I had the sharing platter, really not big enough to be called a sharing platter consists of 4 tiny chicken strips, 4 onion rings, 4 chicken wings, 4 pieces of garlic bread and a small boat dish of disgusting fridge cold nachos with salsa, jalapeños and melted and reset cheese, garlic bread with my bbq dip was the highlight. Waited long enough for the food and our table had to be vacated within half an hour of the food arriving as it was reserved so needless to say we went home hungry and ordered a chinese.

Mal servicio durante todo el año. Esperamos por siempre en el bar antes de que alguien finalmente decidiera reconocernos, se equivocó con el orden de las bebidas después de haberle dicho repetidas veces, parecía totalmente desinteresado al igual que el resto del personal que finalmente nos servía nuestra comida normal. No creas que volveremos de prisa.

This pub is part of the same group as the nearby Wild Boar . . . and there the similarity ends. Service is poor, the place is grubby and shabby. Bar staff disinterested and the identical menu is poorly cooked and presented. Should be good value for money, but, my chips were hot, my scampi cold and undercooked . . . it's not rocket science! Why bother, when you can go to the Wild Boar instead???

Group of 17 of us had pre-booked a table for food last Saturday night. We were waiting for someone to take our food order only to be told we would need to go to the bar and order ourselves (after waiting for 20 minutes for a drink, this wasn't an option). Eventually the person we spoke to agreed to take our order and open a tab for us, but it was clear he was unhappy about it (as was another member of staff we asked for drinks). Kieran passed our table not long after that and could not have been more helpful. He is a credit to the company and the other members of staff should take a leaf out of his book!

Nice start to an e ending out with the girls. Reasonable priced drinks and welcoming staff. Food is on offer and is just normal pub grub

Fuimos a almorzar y se reunió con el personal grosero y una espera de 30 minutos para la comida. La comida era muy normal y no vale la pena la espera.

Popped in on passing ordered a snack . All in all ok. Drinks served quick had to wait a bit for food. Exactly what it said on menu

Just came for some causal drinks with friends, Stephanie remembered our order throughout and recommended perfect changes for us which we all loved! She took idea of what we wanted and was always ready available when we needed her even when the bar was busy! She went above and beyond

Went here for a lunch as a family of 4 on a holiday Monday. Our expectations weren’t high but we were hungry and just wanted a cheap and quick eat. All the restaurants and pubs/bars close by only had 3-4 stars on trip advisor.

Had lunch here on 18/07/18. We both had the half roast chicken and it was cooked to perfection. Staff were friendly. They have mini tv in the booths. The place was clean and had a relaxed atmosphere. We would certainly visit again.

Stile da tipico Pub ma dove oltre alla birra c'è un ampia scelta per pranzo o cena. Qui ho preso il classico Fish and chips ma la porzione extra da 11.50 Pounds. Non pochi ma in linea con i prezzi medi che ho trovato. La birra la si prende al banco mentre i piatti vengono ordinati e li portano al tavolo. Locale super frequentato con tavoli interni ed esterni.

I visited this pub for the first and last time last night 14/7/18, I was there with my wife n best friend n his wife. We arrived around 11.45pm n our wives took a seat outside while we went into get drinks. Bar was pretty much empty, 1 guy being served n having banter with barman. There were 4 other members of staff going about but none of them served us as we waited around 10 minutes then the barman had finished and the customer left with his drinks, so we’re next right? No this barman decides to serve 3 girls just walking in the door that 1 could hardly stand and in my opinion had had enough, I said excuse me we were next and he ignored us and then the guy who said he was the manager came over and, well I’ve never been spoken to so abruptly and rudely before in my life, the language used was disgusting and if this is what Belhaven promotes as management then what a terrible business they must be and run, I’ll honestly never set foot in that pub again or any other pub I know as Belhaven. Shame coz the actual pub looked nice but the staff especially the manager who should know how to handle situations not antagonise them coz after the disgusting language spoken to us by him we told him to stick his drinks and we left. Having grown up in the bar trade with my dad having his own pub for 40 years I know how to behave and how the staff have to behave and this totally shocked me.

Highly recommend, and reasonably priced. Chef was spot on when asked to change dish, will be coming back.
