"Great food with plenty of vegan options."
"The food was lovely (my youngest said it was the best chips he had ever tasted)."

"The buffalo cauliflower should not be missed and if you can, tuck into the vegetarian sharing board - the corn on the cob is phenomenal."
"The burgers were delicious as usual."

"Food was very mediocre, one piece of chicken even smelled funny."
"Food ok, but the sun-dried tomato paste in my salad was extremely salty."
"The food was bad. I ordered a 'Ndija sausage salad. This literally came as pieces of the sausage plus a bit of lamb's lettuce and a few crumbs of feta cheese - nothing else."

Cons:

"This is apparently Brewdogs first venue in Aberdeen. I found it to be filthy, with tables sticky and toilets a disgrace."
"The last time I was there though, I was kind of disappointed. There was not any space upstairs so we were transferred at the basement without knowing about it, and its a completely different atmosphere downstairs."
"Downstairs has more seating but it isn't as good....it has a weird smell to it."
"One thing that we found bugging was music too high. Had to shout to talk .."
"The difference between the main bar on the ground floor and the basement bar (the old Underdog) is shocking."

"Really good and tasty beer selection though a bit on the high side with prices."
"Found it strange how i could get a pint of clockwork tangerine from triple kirks for a fraction of the price but at the home of the drink it was only available in a 330ml can at a higher price."
"Visited Brewdog on a very short night stop in Aberdeen. Well known for its beer, but my experience with their food was mediocre and over priced."

"Food, drink and service all good but the gents loos need thouroughly cleaned more often than they currently are as the stink from them wafts over the tables in their vicinity every time the door is opened."

"Found the window booths tight for people of a larger waist size."
