Bigsby Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 OK, thanks. Saying that somewhere with parking would probably be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I know its a bit out of the way and not technically a pub but the Thistle Hotel at Altens has a really nice bar and a huge TV with Sky and Setanta.Very child friendly and the foods OK too.I use to work there and although the rest of the hotel is shit the bar is really good.Edit: Large car park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Skyline Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Zaras in Dyce is a good shout if you're near there. Kids play area and all that plus sports package digital telly. There's a bar that's separate from the restaurant and the place has been taken over by new owners and is all brand new (previous ones got taken to court for bad hygiene) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingin' Ryan Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 The Palm Court HotelThe Palm Court definitely have Sky and put the big screen up for big games, but it's never really felt the same since they did it up. Looks incredibly nice inside but I miss the more 'pub' feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hmm, well my son DID enjoy going round to Alan's flat to trash the place recently, so this is a possibility.I remember that well.......soup all over the carpet, sweeties stuck to the cushions, toys rammed into loudspeakers, soiled underwear on the CDs......... and then you and Bigsby Jnr arrived - I was soooooo embarrassed!:O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I used to like taking my son and my dad to the Market Arms, which used to do great soup and toasties on a Saturday, but they stopped, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
