Spin bar is a great place in terms of the variety of nights and events - spoken word poetry evenings, gigs or DJ nights. These events have been a lot of fun and well put together (perhaps by the individuals hosting ?). It seems like a friendly wee bar, with great potential for any event, nice sized - cosy but spacious. Main complaints are that the pints are SO awful - very flat, usually with many options missing from the bar... Out of nine taps for example maybe only three are working. No Tennant's ! No Guinness! I'm always disappointed in the pint, and it's also not cheap either. One more thing - bar has been freezing last few times we've been there, had to sit with a coat on. (Never seen any food being served or offered on the bar - don't know if they still serve food)

Visited this bar on hogmanay and was a real let down. There was absolutely no heating on whatsoever everyone kept their coats on and it spoilt the whole evening.

I love this place, never anyone else in when lam there, which surprises me. If your into your music (vinyl) like myself you'll love it. Jim has boxes of vinyl downstairs and thousands more upstairs. A proper little honey hole, Have completed my collection of original Rory Gallagher albums now. Last time l dropped bye l got some Walter trout albums..GREAT...,..

I visited here on an open mic poetry night and I loved it. I'm quite an awkward person so I pushed myself to go out myself to experience this and the bar staff made me feel very welcome throughout the night. It was great getting to listen to everyone's creative efforts and the environment was cosy and friendly. It's great to see venues supporting creative endeavours

Went to a comedy night. A drunk puked over my jacket on way to toilet. Staff should have ejected him earlier as he had been in toilet being sick and triggered the alarm in the toilet. We left but the drunk was still there. Will not be back.

It's a nice place, but their burgers need to come with the chips. Not separate. Also they were tiny for the money. £7 for a small Burger, not on. Plus they burnt it. Vast improvement needed.

One of the most relaxed establishments in Aberdeen, catering for a wide range of customers. From football fans to tabletop gamers everyone is welcome here. The only place in Aberdeen I'm aware of that has continental style unisex toilets.

A sensible little eatery, average nosh, but not exciting. Looks like it will be a great wee venue for a night out and live music ... The food was presented in a lovely way, but the pizzas were disappointing to our kids - could have been much better.

I have been collecting vinyl for a while and have shopped all over the world - this place hands down had the best stock across a huge range of musical genres I have seen and I filled many holes in my vinyl collection from Jefferson Airplane to 90's old skool hip hop. The patron was incredibly friendly and offered me a free beer from the downstairs bar (haven't had that before!) whilst browsing. Also great value for money - no sense of being ripped off here to get that hard to find item - only downside is that I live a long way from Aberdeen but I vow to return - in the meantime they have promised to search out some of my wants from their off premise warehouse!

I visited the place today just for give a try since it was "recently opened". After ordering a soup I realised that the bread served with it had mold. Told to the bartender and he said nothing, not even sorry, or worried for anything, he just ignored me. As it is a new place I would prefer better attention and quality on the food. Will definitely not go back!

Atmosphere ZERO stars. This review is for Nicky's attention who very likely gets a much warmer reception when she arrives into the cafe than we do. I am only writing this as I no longer have a local cafe which is somewhat inconvenient. I was there with my wife and kid. The usual sit here, don't sit there nonsense we have to put up with everytime we visit. We usually go once a week for a year or more now. We were met by the usual lady who never smiles, always stressed. Told to sit over at the side area. There were two other people in the cafe, otherwise it was empty. All four tables at the main window were free. I asked to sit by the main window and was not one bit surprised by her response "there are only 3 of you" suggesting the window tables are for more than 3 people. She looked away and continued running our sandwiches through the till indicating the conversation on moving tables was now over. I asked if that was a 'no' (we can't move seats), and she confirmed that was the case. She then once again continued on the till. To me, her decision on the seats was for the sake of confrontation only, nothing to do with me or needing tables. We popped in for a family coffee and were met with the usual stress environment. It was her way or the highway... and we chose the highway. We left the cafe for good this time. This has been an issue before and I am not going to deal with this stress while paying top dollar. This is meant to be a relaxed environment, and it just isn't. Bye bye now.
