Metarie Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 well, there's various watering holes (Henry J Beans Kef, Triple Kirks, Cafe Drummonds, Drakes) only one 'alternative' club (moshulu) and a few music venues (Drakes, Drummonds, Lemon Tree, Kef and occasionally Henry J Beans) best thing to do is look out for flyers and posters and see whats going on. Drinking games depend on the company and free drinks...well, you can get 2 for 1 on cocktails in henry j beans if you're a student (or it might be 2 for 4, but tis good anyway ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash@TMB Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 DependingDepending on how many weeks there are until you're on leave, you may be able to add one more to your list:The Moorings Bar is Aberdeens original Rock/Alt venue. Why bother with cheezy 70s retro nights when you can visit the real thing. It's like stepping into a timewarp.The bar is famous for the quality of it's booze, and you'll find all sorts of weird and wonderful ways to get cost effectively pished.The new sound system is arguably the best in town, certainly way beyond what you'd expect from a 200 capacity venue. There's also pinball and a retro arcade machine.I recently stumbled on this review, it sums things up pretty well and if I ever see the guy that wrote it I'll buy him an evenings worth of drink:http://scottishboozing.blogspot.com/2004_01_01_scottishboozing_archive.htmlscroll down to second from the bottom of the page.Flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
