[The Ghost Of Fudge]

sounds like you want THE MOORINGS BAR. it's run by a pirate you know.

[Lucky Rathen]

Moorings for alcohol fuelled mayhem. Lots of decent rock. Ace jukebox! World beers. Often with live bands. Run by a pirate. Frightening amounts of male nudity. All good. Try the Moosehead.

Drummonds for live bands of all genres and warm lager.

The Tunnels - two rooms with live bands of the indie variety most nights. Aberdeen's suavest doorman Nicky Ca$ino will take care of you. In fact he probably knows you're in town already. Nothing gets past Nicky.

Bassment for rock, metal etc. and wonderful cocktails at low low prices! Don't play the arcade machines, the buttons don't work.

Moshulu - Friday nights, rock ,metal, punk, ska et all. Packed oot the door min! Wear black. Show off tattoos, piercings etc. If you're even vaguely attractive, watch out for Bob. Saturday night is "Air Guitar" classic rock night. Usually empty. Again, wear black. I dunno about the other nights... See above re arcade machines.

Exodus (Triple Kirks) - Friday night is indie alternative. Expect Pixies, Jeff Buckley, etc. You'll only get in if you have a £60 haircut and you're wearing tweed. Indie Poseur city. Cunty bouncers. That's where I can usually be found :-)

That's about yer lot.... did I miss anything?

[Lucky Rathen]

Keep an eye on the Moshulu gig listings as well, they get some fucking great touring bands but are notoriously lax at advertising them...

I will, if I may, respectfully disagree with Elwood's comments about Exodus. It's predominantely indie/alt most nights of the weeks and styles of all types are accepted as long as it's not trackie bottoms and baseball caps. You may well get bits of ska/punk on Saturday, Sundays and Mondays, and it has a generally welcoming fun atmosphere.

Tunnels on Carnegie Brae and Moshulu on Windmill Brae also do the kind of thing you're looking for on certain nights. Also, check out the Mudd Club on Mondays at the Office on Crown Street. It's slowly building up a very decent scene.

Aye, but the bouncers are pretty cunty.

[Lester Burnham]

Exodus bouncers aren't really that bad - they do have their moments from time to time. Just don't...
1) Behave like a drunk asshole
2) Act like an arrogant twat
3) Push people about
4) Smoke in the club
5) Be sick outside and expect to get back in

Following the above has kept me out of trouble... or is it just my expensive haircuts? Who knows.

I did actually try to get back in after being sick outside once... needless to say I wasn't successful.
