The Illicit Still is a popular
Aberdeen pub that has
recently undergone extensive
renovation, incorporating a
variety of new and exciting
features into this much-
loved setting. With its unique
ambience, this is the pub
for anyone who likes their
chosen watering hole to have
a proper atmosphere. The
quaint subterranean bar is
surrounded by intriguing bric-
a-brac, candles and no less
than five hundred green glass
bottles screwed into its ceiling.
If you like the sound of that then
you’ll love the idea of sitting on
cowhide covered chairs while
reading witticisms and quotes
about the wonderful water of
life. The pub’s wealth of sofas
and booths are ideal for cosy
conversations, allowing you to
bask in the warmth of the open
fire. The Illicit Still benefits from
an exhaustive drinks list that
includes some fine single malt
whiskies that warrant sampling
from the likes of Glenlivet and
Glenmorangie. Whilst there’s
an extensive wine list offered
alongside a tempting cocktail
menu, there are is a good
variety of beers on tap. The
menu is fairly priced and serves
tasty and wholesome pub-grub,
such as a classic burger with
optional extras, or traditional
steak and ale pie.
