J.J. Booths

although situated with the best 'student' pubs on the 'square' (slains, the boar,Ma's, the hogshead, the vodka bar, ect) booths tends to be for the quieter more serious drinker. The jukebox has more rock classics than cheesy chart tunes (one of the few pubs with blue oyster cult!) so if looking for somewhere not so full of students try here but if you are female i would warn you that it is more than likely that some old slime will try to hit on you with some very cheesy lines. however if in a large group of students i would recomend you skip this one and go straight on to the next pub as the atmosphere there will more than likely be friendlier ...  Read the complete review

Booths has been around for a long time. It's an okay pub; the prices are comparable with every other pub in town. It's really an "old" person's pub. I've only been in it a couple of times, although my partner's been in more often. It's very quiet. You can pretty much guarantee a seat. The decor is clean but drab.

J.J. Booths has been a part of Aberdeen's pub life for a good few years. It is located on Back Wynd, a road off of the centre of Union Street. Very central for anyone looking for a pub to go to while in the centre of town. A perfect stop for the weary shopper. Inside it is quite dark. Poorly lit.

As many pubs do they serve food as well as drinks. J.J. Booths is well know for the pies that they serve. A bowl containing a filling covered by pastry. A favourite with anyone who has ...  Read the complete review

J.J. Booths pub is situated in the Back Wynd in Aberdeen, just off Union Street. The location makes it handy place to pop into for a quick pint or lunch while you are hitting the shops on a Saturday afternoon. The pub has a very traditional feel to it - no plastic tacky bits- with the only concession being a large screen for football and a couple of TVs. There is a large bar so getting served isn't a problem. The range of beer is fairly standard for a pub - lots of lager, beers, Guinness but not a huge range of the alcopop drink variety. It's not that kind of pub! There are plenty of seats set in cosy nooks so it feels a very warm and ...  Read the complete review
