Well Aberdeen Iron is your man, but a friend who used to work on a rig off the coast of Aberdeen used to love it there.
That may have been more to do with being away from the wife and kids and fucking whatever he could get his hands on though.

You can booze in the golf clubs before the game as well Ern. Get on Union Street in Aberdeen, loads of pubs along there.

No worries Ern, that's main part really. Lots of roads coming off of it with bars and restaurants as well. Been a while since I've been up there, but there is usually plenty going on and it's a decent night out.

I've lived in Elgin and Aberdeen. Very little to choose from in Elgin to be honest, thunderton house is pretty good or there's a weatherspoons called the muckle cross if thats your thing.
Aberdeen is built for drinking. Belmont street and Union street are good for starters, loads of little places off union street too. For the novelty, slains castle is worth a visit (Belmont street) The moorings by the harbour has a huge selection of proper beer but its a bit of a rock pub type of thing, swerve the rest of the pubs by the water though.
