Not an extinct bar as such, so off topic, (though it did look a bit like it at one point I think).

Did anyone buy The Grill ?. Has it changed any since the new owners ?

No idea and it never was one of my favourite haunts but it would be a disaster if anything happened to the Grill.

Would Aberdeen even be Aberdeen without

The Grill was done when they put in dame's hosers.

The Grill may have a huge selection of whiskies to satisfy the Tarquins and Ffarquhars who like to flaunt their expertise in such matters, but the beer it sells is generally chemical factory pish.

That’ll be your Minimum Alcohol Pricing and capitalism rubbing its hands in glee as it takes the opportunity to fleece the imbibers.

You reap what you sow.

A brewery pub in Leeds after Friday’s cricket told me the beer I fancied was £7 a pint. I’m nae that keen, so 350 miles fae far it’s made in Dyce, I had a pint of Fierce Beer’s Porter. The ‘chocolate overtones’ meant it was like drinking cold cocoa. I almost yearned for a bottle of Piper Export to remove the taste.

I’m glad the Auchmill’s shut. There was a local hun’s birthday party in there about two decades ago when the locals took exception to the hun songbook being sung by dozens of the ****s, and there was a big fecht in which the good guys excelled and triumphed.

I'm sure that was before minimum pricing became active May 2018 .

The Belmont. I miss the Belmont or was it actually the times I had there and the age I was when I drank there that I miss. Boozers are often as much about who you're with than the pub itself.

These days I'm hard pushed to think of a bar I'd be in a hurry to drink in. Last one I was in was 'The Scotia'. Rank rotten.

The Scotia used to be an arite shop.

Fit's gone wrang wi it?
