Butchers Arms - Aberdeen

Quiet for a Friday but to be expected. Followed the rules well for virus control.

Superb bar. Very good selection of drinks. Staff are very good. Another one for a chilled afternoon.

Nice quiet bar, not to everyone's tastes but a safe bet for a quiet pint. Staff were nice. Was only there for a couple of hours so can't comment fully but I would definitely go back.

Went seriously down hill. Toilets need a big sort out. No atmosphere.

Staff attitude diabolical. Was a rainy day, my glasses steamed up from rain and face mask. I was faced with condescending younger member of female staff and her interrogatory tone. Have you been drinking? No.. I am unfortunate enough to wear glasses, they do steam up from face mask. Staff : where else in the town you have been today? Erm.. Excuse me? I've been to Bank, been shopping.. I have shopping bags in my hand.. Really terrible attitude. I understand the covid rules, but she's clearly imagined herself as prison warden or something above anyone else. Dreadful experience, I'm all for supporting pubs through tough times, but when the staff let's the atmosphere down and greets you with unfriendly scowl and full on interrogation, I won't be returning. I would have been better off walking back into the rain
