The Holburn Bar in Aberdeen City

Need to learn how to pour a Guinness apart from that great 👍

Good pub ambience, decent crowd. Furniture just seems a bit worn from use. But overall good experience. I'd recommend for a quiet outing.

I went to a witch's market and vended my jewellery here.

Had my 30th birthday party here on the 26th April, nice spacious hall upstairs, Michelle and Amy were great to have working on the bar, spoke away with the guests, banter was good too!! Food was nice too, overall a good night! Thank you everyone at Holburn Bar!!

Place is superb, great food and drinks! never miss a game of football

Michelle and Aimee serving the best pints in Aberdeen.

La carne vino caliente. Sizzling. El tipo de chisporroteo que te dice que sigue vivo en la sartén, que acaba de morir. El solomillo era mío. Espeso y bien - corte, con el tipo de carbonilla que no finge. Lo saboreas y sabes que es correcto. Limpio salado. Sin salsa. Un hombre no necesita salsa cuando la carne está buena. Natalie tenía el pan plano. No era mucho para mirar. Sólo pan y carne. Pero Dios, fue bueno. El tipo de bien que te hace parar y decir algo. Lo hizo. Lo vi en sus ojos antes de que hablara. Había especias. Calidez. No fuerte, pero fuerte. Como una buena mujer que nunca levanta la voz. Los otros tenían parrillas mixtas. Platos llenos. Lamb. Pollo. Algo ensartado. No importaba. Eran felices. Podías verlo. Los hombres comen así cuando han trabajado, o cuando han tenido un día que vale la pena terminar. El fútbol estaba en marcha. No fuerte, pero estaba allí. Comentario flotando entre el tintineo de los vasos y el golpe bajo de las bolas de billar. Los jóvenes alinearon sus disparos. Algunos fallaron. Algunos no. No importaba. Estaban vivos y bebiendo. El lugar tenía aire. Espeso de carbón y risas y humo de algún lado. El tipo de lugar que encuentras una vez, tal vez dos veces en tu vida, y no lo olvidas. Porque te da algo que no esperabas. Y tú tómalo. Nos fuimos llenos. Y mejor. Eso es todo lo que hay.

I'm rarely in pubs but it's a clean pub with a wide selection of drinks.

Brilliant service from Michelle and Jayden as always

Gran bar con rugby, fútbol, golf y grandes cervezas! El personal es absolutamente increíble y hacen todo lo posible para asegurarse de que usted tenga un buen tiempo

Food was ace, Michelle was lovely and helpful

Micheal was lovely, was a great laugh👍🏻

Michelle was fantastic. Great drinks. Great scran. Recommend.

Llamaron al bar después de asistir a un evento en la sala alta para tomar una copa. Al navegar por el menú decidimos pedir una comida también. Ambos tomamos el pastel de carne con la opción de papas fritas. Cuando llegó la comida, era un plato lleno con brócoli fresco y pastelería en la parte superior e inferior del derretimiento en la boca de carne de res. A pesar de que la comida era excelente no pudimos terminar nuestros platos. El personal era amable y servicial. Un gran ambiente y sin duda volveremos.

Went to The Witches Market at The Holburn Bar on Sunday, decided to have lunch there too. The staff were friendly and helpful the facilities were good and our food was delivered quickly and we all enjoyed out meals and plan to return soon.

Comida pedida, cuando finalmente llegó la comida no era genial, los huevos casi no se freían, pedían que el huevo se refriera pero volvía igual, patatas fritas no buenas, gammon ligeramente quemado. Nadie vino a preguntar si estábamos disfrutando de nuestra comida. Cuando fuimos a pagar y explicamos que estábamos descontentos, al gerente no parecía importarle e incluso dijo “bueno, de todos modos te están dando un 15% de descuento”, lo que no debería tener nada que ver con el estándar de comida. Me gustaría decir que la chica que sirvió nuestras bebidas fue muy agradable y dijo que era nueva y todavía estaba aprendiendo, no se dio cuenta de su nombre. No volveré a visitar el bar Holburn, muy decepcionado.

La comida era genial y un precio muy bueno! El personal era encantador y recibimos un excelente servicio, sin duda recomendaría!

Amazing food, great atmosphere, friendly people and fantastic service.

Love the atmosphere! Such a warm environment with friendly staff!! Definitely recommend taking a visit, they even have a pub quiz every week :)

Food is great. Consistently too. Amazing service as well. I like visiting

arrived at the venue for the first time for the six nations, excellent food and service, would definitely recommend and come again!

I would like to share feedback regarding our recent private banquet on the second floor of your venue. While we appreciated the overall atmosphere, we were quite disappointed with the cleanliness of the space. The floor was sticky, making it uncomfortable to dance, and the tables were sticky, which affected the overall dining experience. We kindly ask that you address these issues to ensure a more pleasant experience for future guests. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Lovely food and great service, very friendly and welcoming :)

Nice food didn't have to wait long being sunday the football and rugby was on tv bar was mostly full of men

Was in last night for a darts match and food was amazing and staff really helpful highly recommend

Always good food and the staff are even better. Get good chat and a laugh from them all. Fantastic deals like the £10 burger and a pint deal on a Wednesday! Would absolutely recommend!

Was here for the 6 Nations at the weekend, had plenty of staff on to keep tables clear and the wait at the bar short. Staff are always cheery, friendly, and can have a laugh. Fantastic atmosphere, going the extra mile with the bagpiper at the start of the game and half time. Food was good and quick for being busy and always great deals during the week. Highly recommend.

Never had enough staff on when major football matches were happening, even when advertised. Need to learn the staff to stop being arrogant and alot of drugs being dealt on a daily basis

Just wanted to say I love the piper during the Six Nations games, the atmosphere within the bar is so much fun. Food is delicious and staff are great.

Friendly and a very relaxing atmosphere with loads of tVs, showing many sports.

Came in for a quick bite to eat and found the food and service first rate, we felt the cost of the meal and drinks totally worth the cost

Great local pub for a quiet afternoon to have lunch and a couple of pints. Friendly staff, great value for money with various food offers, and brilliant veggie options too (the mushroom chilli is banging!) An all-round fantastic local.

Yesterday was my first time visiting the Holburn Bar. The staff were very friendly and there was a great atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

Was at the hogmany party upstairs , the atmosphere was great , food excellent, service perfect , it was a good night . Will be there next year !!!

I recently attended the Hogmanay party at the Holburn Bar in Aberdeen, and it was an absolute blast! The atmosphere was electric, welcoming vibe that made everyone feel at home. The bar was packed with people, all eager to ring in the New Year with good company and great drinks. The staff at the Holburn Bar did an outstanding job of keeping the party going. They were friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone had a fantastic time. The music selection was spot on, with a mix of classic hits and modern tunes that kept the dance floor packed all night long. The food and drink offerings were top-notch as well. Overall, the Hogmanay party at the Holburn Bar was a memorable experience. It was the perfect way to celebrate the end of the year and the start of a new one. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and festive night out.

Great night at Hogmanay event in function suite. Buffet, disco and service excellent. Great atmosphere and prices. Bar is family friendly, great food.

Best local bar in Aberdeen for drinks and treats! Charlie and mcoly and all the staff give the best butt scratches! From EVA the dog 🐕 ❤️

Tasty food for a decent price. Very clean. Close to town. Friendly helpful staff. Not too crowded. Would come here again.

Girls behind the bar were very friendly and helpful:) affordable night to go with friends was a great experience and will definitely be back!

Fab lunch. Great value for money and lovely decorated for Christmas. Will definitely be back . Bar staff very friendly.

Had a fab lunch here on Friday lunchtime for my father in law’s birthday. Service was very good the guy who served us was very attentive. Food was good would definitely return

Enjoy coming to the Holburn bar... friendly staff and food alway hot and tasty well done all

Great food, very good and quick service, no complaints

Very dog friendly! Biggest plus point for us! 2nd point .. the main menu says special offers all day! Refer to the lunch menu! The very friendly bar man explained to me that, the owners had decided that "all day menus" finish at 5pm? I wanted to order at 5:30pm. I mentioned to him that the main menu still says "all day, everyday"! He very kindly said he would honour the menu! Many thanks! Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and, they also came often to clear the table! Great family place!

Just had a great bite to eat in the Holburn bar. The choice of food was excellent & there were plenty of offers too. I had the steak & ale pie & my wife had the salt & chilli chicken. A very good portion for both with great service too. We both cleared our plates & will definitely be back. A nice chilled atmosphere with nice music & various sports showing all around. There’s parking too so no excuses, give it a try. Thanks for an excellent meal & experience.

Ordered the vegan plant based meatball marina and side of rosemary sea salted skin-on fries. Credit due to the kitchen, I finished the whole plate...delicious! Reasonably priced, friendly bar staff and chilled lunch. Sat in a booth where I could charge my phone after a long journey into Aberdeen too. 5 stars *****

Very disappointing, was in for my stepdads birthday, he ordered the nachos with pulled pork they arrived cold, sent back, then waited another 7-10mins for new ones by this time myself and my mum had ate our meals, which were hunters chicken and katsu curry, could not fault these at all. But was a birthday celebration and wanted to eat together, ended up cancelling his nachos and receiving a refund, not good enough...!!! How can you get nachos so wrong.....!!! 1/10 will not be back.

We love the holburn and may as well live there! The regular staff are lovely and always super friendly to me and my daughter. Food is always very good and reasonably priced!

Excellent service food and drink at a reasonable price. Everyone enjoyed their meal and staff very helpful, even though they were pretty busy.Thank you

Very Friendly and welcoming staff, good atmosphere I only had a cup of tea but will be back for food and drinks very soon. Reasonable prices.

Very amenable to helping out the local community with requests, helpful and friendly staff. Great for a coffee meet up.

Amazing stuff, especially Charlisse; her service was excellent and very friendly.

Been quite a few times now. The friendly Staff and the manager bend over backwards to make sure that they get your food order out quickly. I’ve never had any issues. Food is great! Would highly recommend to try at least once and guarantee you’ll go back again!

Great pub that the wife and I love to go to

Lively pub to watch sport, play billiards/darts and eat and drink delicious food. We enjoyed it very much. We only found ordering and paying via the app, which you had to download separately, a bit cumbersome.

Delicious meal, prompt service. Definitely coming back

Only went for a drink. Bit over priced for alcoholic for being off the main street. The meals looked decently priced, lots of people eating so guess by numbers meals good.

Lovely polite team and locals are absolutely bang on

We often have lunch / dinner at the Holburn. Food and service are always great. Dog friendly too 🤩

All right for a pint n something to eat.......to expensive now. Just like most pubs.

Fantastic service. Staff were quick to help me out. When I moved from outside to inside the staff were super accommodating. Great vibe, great food. 10/10.

Disgrace of a place ordered food whilst watching football today after half an hour never arrived asked at bar got an apology took another 15 minutes was told would get free pint order arrived wrong order free pint now refused a joke not acceptable be interesting if an actual manager here today not impressed

Came in for a meal with my partner , beautiful food and great company . Stayed a little longer than we intended to and enjoyed a few drinks and a game of pool .

Really enjoyed the beer garden and deals

Had missed breakfast so we were looking for a lunch to keep us going. Ordered food and drinks and was served promptly. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was great with the chilled atmosphere. Will be back to try other items from the menu in the future.

Great food and so reasonably priced, nice chilled atmosphere. The bar/restaurant staff are friendly also. We will be back for sure.

Nice bar friendly staff good beer garden good food 👍👍👍

Great sharer meal well priced pints and always a game of pool. Good atmosphere and will be coming back again!

Was at the function last night for an 18th and the two girls behind the bar were outstanding and very welcoming and helpful throughout the whole night! Will definitely be back!

Lovely lunch with my husband and auntie today. It’s always a friendly atmosphere, with chatty staff. Bonus that it’s dog friendly. Food is always delicious, and is served fast and is really good value for money.

Great meal, and fantastic service as always. Neil our server was excellent

Great food, perfect for football, friendly staff, especially Vic. Food was served quickly and the drinks were cheap..

It's a great place to be, always something to do! I'm one of those people who can't just sit and drink all night so the pool tables and dart board are perfect addition. I love the sharing platters and selection of small plates, perfect for nibbling when meeting with a group of friends. Tex Mex Sharer is my favourite! The quiz night on Thursdays is good fun, only been once but I will definitely return. Nice selection of drinks and reasonable prices.

Standard bar, decent people inside not usually crowded unless an important game is on - pool tables, dart boards are readily available

Just your run of the mill pub. Not bad at all

Previously it was a five star but after several visits.... It's consistent that the staff are not very friendly, seems a bit lazy and just don't want you spending money in the place. Been rushed out in the past with the kids in, rushed out at 11pm almost every weekday

Great staff who are happy to help. Food is good for the price. Well priced drinks. Beer garden catches the sun and the road isn't an issue.

Second time going there, Fish and Chips was foodgasmic; chef’s kiss. Staff were warm and lovely as usual.

Typical pub food and atmosphere. Lovely staff

Needs gutting out and freshening up....

We went to the quiz night and was a great atmosphere.Didn’t win but had a laugh anyway!Enjoyed some scampi and chips and would go back,as we did all enjoy ourselves.

The staff at the Holburn Bar provided the best possible service for our family party. Throughout the planning process and on the night of the party, they were friendly and helpful in all aspects. They went to great lengths to amend the buffet menu to suit our needs. Amazing quality of food which was appreciated by everyone at the party. The party was a great success but if I would be critical would suggest the DJ could do with better lighting to accompany his work but wasn’t that bad to ruin the party.

Great pub. Friendly efficient service. Lots of choice of food. menus for vegans, vegetarians and kids. Always a great atmosphere, value for money and huge choice of drink. There is a pool table, darts, and bandit machines which are at a cordoned off section of the bar. I booked the function room upstairs for a birthday with 80 guests. The venue provided a vegan/ vegetarian hot and cold buffet that was enjoyed by everyone. The chef and manager liasied with us and pulled out all the stops to ensure that our requests were answered. The chef created a tasty, exciting vegan/veggie buffet, which many would have found difficult to do. Great value for money, central location, and parking. The dj was also organised alongside room at a very competitive price. The staff were very helpful and professional. Brogan and Travis (I think) were fantastic at the event. Thank you for helping make my birthday so memorable. Well deserved 5 stars 🌟

Waited over the time for our meals had to ask if meals was coming food was good myself and my guests had to clear our plates and glasses from table as no staff did this as they were too busy chatting in a corner one of them was a boss and didn’t apologise as I approached and told them we have did your job as yous can’t be bothered just got a dirty look in reply holburn bar not the same as before I have worked in the restaurants in the past and customers always comes first today your staff didnt

Food was lovely,good value. Only gripe was the wait,half an hour for starters and an hour after we ordered for mains,only 2 of us and it wasn't that busy.

Thank you to Neil and staff for making our xmas party (we were late having it),food was fab, atmosphere was electric with the piper playing before rugby, totally recommend

Great bar staff very freindly also good for sports

lovely meals at keen prices hunter's chicken was lovely .Eton mess was lovely too .

Had a great night with friends. Good atmosphere enjoyed the pub quiz. Will definitely be back. Good location easy to find.

If you want a good time in the bar, avoid Wednesdays. The staff was rude, refused orders for food due to slow service (at the bar), snarky and ill mannered. Every other day we have been it's great service, lovely and welcoming.

Good for watching the football and relaxing

Had the three tacos thing , The squid wasn’t cooked ? The chicken wings , were harder than a stone , like they where left over from an earlier meal ? Absolutely terrible? And the least we say about the pulled pork tacos? The better !!! My partner had steak pie , which was maybe passable.

Just had delicious lunch in Holburn Bar. Food was great value and delicious. Bar man was so friendly and yet professional. Really nice guy. Great atmosphere we will definitely come back! Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Food is always great, the staff are all absolutely lovely and always go the extra mile to make sure we are happy! We come here at least once a week and it's our favourite food spot!

Was here for food on the 27th December 23 . The service and the food was fantastic xxx Neil made sure our experience was ace xxx be back very soon x

My name is Joan and I'm part of the pool club that happens every Wednesday x Neil and gang are fantastic, food is great and staff always look after me when in.
