This is a really nice pub. We hadn’t been in there before as we are not really pub types. We were queuing for an evening event at the nearby Music Hall and decided to look for a pub instead of waiting in the cold. There was a Scotland v Croatia soccer match so the crowd was raucous but friendly even though Scotland lost a few minutes after we arrived. A young chap offered us their table which was very sweet. The bar staff were friendly and the prices excellent. There are lots of well placed TV screens so it’s a great place to watch sports. Darts was on after the soccer. We liked it so much we went back after the concert to wait for our bus. It was even busier and the bar wait a bit longer as you’d expect. This will be our go to pub in Aberdeen as we are there a couple of times a week for theatre and shopping.

El camarero nos cobró 1 pound más de lo que cobran POR 2 PINTAS , me di cuenta por que cuando tomamos la segunda pinta la camarera nos pidió 1 pound menos y el SINVERGÜENZA DE CAMARERO intervino para que nos cobrará más para no dejarlo en evidencia, REPUGNANTE ACTITUD DEL CAMARERO

A bar for an older crowd. Not a bad thing. Regular beers and spirits, with not a great deal of trendy craft beers. There's cash beer, which can be a bit hit or miss. Not that many folks seem to drink it. Sports are on, not too loudly. Owned by a company who value their customers, the best thing about the place is the staff. They are excellent, friendly and recognise the regulars for a chat. It has a very local feeling.

Walked in with a group of 6 travelling from Canada. A little unwelcoming to say the least. No food and got upset that we tried to push the table next to the table of 4 to accommodate the group after no staff approached us when we walked in. Left there after .

I really liked this pub. It has a lovely mix of the traditional Scottish city centre pub and modern atmosphere with up to date music and a few sports TV screens showing without over doing it. Staff were all very friendly and so we're the other customers. I didn't see any evidence of food being done here despite TA and their own website saying food available. So, definitely a Pub, not a restaurant or a Bar. Enjoyed this pub a lot. Will come back.

This place used to do pretty decent food but the kitchen is closed now. Bar staff are pretty good some maybe a little on the sad looking side being bar staff myself understand the drag of slow shifts however no need for no smile at least... smile goes a long way for tips especially. I hope to see this place rise... amd to be honest I would recommend them for a decent priced pint it's not super expensive it's an average price for location.

Traditional style pub with always warm welcome & good pub food. My only criticism is lack of disabled toilet as stairs to lower level very steep for me & unfortunately this deters me from making the Stag a more regular place for me.

Oh the stag, what a smashing place. If you don't like taxidermy, best keep both eyes on the road, but if you're a student of stuffing (so to speak) then cast your eyes to the heavens and be delighted. All sorts of creatures lovingly poached from their natural environments and displayed for your pleasure. I'm sure there was once a yeti up there but Tony claims it was just Chris Mackay with a stinking hangover. Nae meals but.

Went in last night for some food and a drink, place was filthy, I got the last table, it had been cleared but had not been cleaned, I sat for awhile before going up to the bar and asking for a food menu, a drinks menu and if the table could be cleaned. I got the food menu I was then told she could not find the drinks menu, she did however come over and clean the table, I ordered my food and as I was waiting I was just look around the place, the bases of the tables were covered in dust as was behind the bar hatch and the metal lights hanging from the ceiling were all covered in dust. I think it is terrible for an establishment that is serving food and drinks that is not clean. The food was ok, nothing amazing, have had better food elsewhere, quite pricey for what you get. I certainly will not be going back anytime soon.

Went here on a Friday with my family at 23:30 as it said it closed 01:00. At 00.00 last drinks were called where we got a round, at 00:05 the bouncer walked around and told people to finish up drinking. Confused some people drank up and left we didn’t stress as it was meant to close at 1. At 00:15 the bouncer told us we had to leave very rudely. Would never go back.

This is traditionally a great pub but it is being ruined by the ridiculous attitude of the door "bouncers". We really used to enjoy coming here for a beer however the looming aggressive unnecessary doormen will be keeping us away. We witnessed a lovely party of young people enter the pub bringing a vibrate energy to the place. They were well very behaved and just enjoying themselves. The burly "bouncer" immediately intervening unnecessarily and asks them to drink up and leave. They did so quietly without fuss. What was the point? I asked the "bouncer" on the way out and immediately received an appualling self asteem attitude from the guy. Needless to say, he was only interested in himself. Shocking treatment of paying customers at the hands of needless attention seeking doorstaff. We won't be back for a long time!

I was refused entry last night, Friday the 18th of November, due to having my assistance dog with me, even though I had him in his bag and the relevant paperwork to confirm that he's a working dog. According to the doorman, if he let me in, everyone would take their dog in. I didn't pursue the issue, even though they don't have the right to bar assistance dogs. This is illegal, and they need to review this policy before someone sues them for discrimination.

We arrived at the Stag on the 08/10/22 with a lovely atmosphere, and sat down for food and drink. We were however all unable to finish our food due to the horrific smell of the English waitress. We had to call over the manager and were appalled to see she was not spoken to nor sent home. Her clumsy service and poor hygiene are the only reasons we will not be returning. Aside from this our evening was pleasant enough, with very quick table service as our other waitress was extremely attentive and chatty, but the above issues must be resolved for all customers to enjoy their experience, as we cannot return.

Review ✓ minimum 5 star review only to reach maximum audience. Myself with a group of friends planned our visit to the Stag on one of our reunions. The smell from the girl serving food and drinks was horrid. None of us could finish the food as we all felt physically sick. We did speak to a lovely barmaid who got the manager to speak to us promptly! However after speaking to the Manager, NOTHING was done to reduce the smell or even send the girl home. After speaking to a customer who said he's a regular this has been a issue for over a year now. How can any hospitality establishment run like this? Another staff member looked so hungover and was bragging that she hadn't had much sleep due to having a night out. We all thought that Mcgintys group had a reputation for delivering a high quality service! This isn't the case at all. None of us will return to any establishment of this group.
