What trondfh likes about Archibald Simpson:
I still consider this my favorite pub in Aberdeen. The ambiance is fantastic, and as soon as you walk in, you can smell the delicious ales and food. I could easily spend an entire day here. View all feedback. What Kai Bergmann doesn't like about Archibald Simpson:
Went to the place as an asian and was completely ignored by the staffs, while other customers were still being served as usual. One of the serving staff (guy) was intentionally looking at our table and my friend caught his eye contact where he just chose to ignore us completely. The rest of the staffs just pretended to be busy and avoided walking to the table to take orders when the place was not even that full. Terr... View all feedback.

A more interesting Wetherspoons, good table service, busy on my visit.

Mixed reviews were given to Wetherspoons in Aberdeen. While some praised the delicious yet affordable meals and fantastic ambiance, others criticized the staff for poor service, rude treatment of customers with children, and strict dog policies. Some customers were disappointed with the food temperature and service speed. Despite the varying opinions, the majority agreed that the restaurant provides good value for money. With a historic building and beautiful decor, the Archibald offers a unique dining experience in the city. Whether you enjoy a leisurely breakfast or a quick snack, this Wetherspoons branch has something for everyone.
