Newest Review: ... but most are round the corner out the way. This makes Archies ideal for meeting large groups of people in i.e. works night outs. No matter how many there are of you - 2 to 92, you can always fit in if you don't mind standing. If you are lucky enough to get a seat you won't want to leave again. Deep leather arm chairs with high sides to block out the crowds and the noise. Oh ... more

 ... that's something I should definitely mention. Archies doesn't play music - not a note. It's hard enough in pubs to hear the person next to you over the chatter of everyone else without competing with music as well. They sell a really wide ...more

Premium Review Archibald Simpson: Long haul toilets! (619 words)

What did we do in the days before we had Archies? It's hard to remember to tell you the truth. Ever since Wetherspoons opened the infamous Archibald Simpsons (Archies for short) in Aberdeen, it's been a fixture on the drinking map of the vast majority of Aberdeen. Its situated in a large old bank on the corner of Union Street and King Street - two of the main streets in the town centre. Definitely prime territory. The previous use of the building ensures that the architecture inside is fantastic - columns, pillars, elaborate ceilings. The new owners have been sympathetic to the original fixtures and have enhanced them by adding some wonderful ...

While Archibald Simpsons could be considered as quite a nice bar from the outside, once you enter you will realise that there is something missing. Music. That's right, this is a bar with no music. Ever. This means that when it is quiet, it is like sitting in a dentists waiting room. And when it is busy, it resembles something of a busy train station or an airport lounge. The drinks may be cheap too, but this simply entices those, shall we say, of a rather unkempt and smelly fashion to frequent the bar. Oh, and the toilets are also miles away up heaps of stairs, so it is inadvisable for the heavy drinkers who can't quite hold it in!! ...

Premium Review Archibald Simpson: cheap drink (248 words)

The interior of the pub is brilliant, it's an old bank (of the non-chrome nylon carpet era) and has fabulous high ceilings, cornice-work and is just a brilliant looking building. The alcohol is also pretty cheap, with some excellent deals on pretty much everything from selected lagers and beers to alcopops. Generally prices are cheaper than virtually any other pub, and there is also special offers on each month or week. The food isn't too bad, and there's even a curry night with again special deals for your fave balti and a pint (I've never had one personally, but I've been told they're good and great value). Sounds like the ...
