Good during the summer as it has a great balcony(downstairs). Weekends it can be a bit too busy and rubbish music, the food it poor too.
But sunny day times and mid week nights are best for a nice drink in a unique bar

Aberdeen city beach.
Great for a stroll and watch the waves. It's good for surfing too for those inclined. Great for a walk and stop for food at Sand Dollar Cafe. The old fishing village of Fittie is a must to take a look at the cute little cottages, it's set on the south end of the beach by the harbour: where you can watch all the boats come and go too.

Nice for a stroll around . Aberdeen University (one of the oldest in the UK) is here, and some of Aberdeen's oldest buildings and houses are too. A walk along the Chanonry and round St Machar's Cathedral is a great way to spend an afternoon. If you fancy a bigger walk, head into Seaton park and take a walk along side the Don river and up to The Brig o' Balgownie (Bridge of Balgownie) one of the oldest stone bridges in the UK, you get a great view of the river Don from here.
