Bassment
This is a great little place to go on a night out. You won't have to queue or pay to get in and it's in a great location (next to Moshulu, Liquid and fast food places). There's a good amount of tables and seating, but on the busiest of nights you might find yourself having to stand. The bar could be a little longer, but there's always a lot of staff so you usually get served relatively quickly. They have a great selection of drinks, the cocktails are great especially, good prices too. The bassment also offers a lot of other entertainment like Karaoke and pool tables, as well as serving food. The music is also more to my taste than most other places in Aberdeen.The toilets could be a bit better, but other than that it's one of the places I usually go on a night out.

Cocktail Nirvana
If you fancy a drink in Aberdeen and you don't want to go to a faceless chain bar, you should get yourself down to Basement. Situated down Windmill Brae, the slope is not for the faint hearted or the drunk and is perilous for the inebriated wearing high heels but if you must roll down the hill you are assured a decent drink (if the bouncers don't deem you too drunk, and they're friendly so unlikely unless you're passing out!). Boasting one of the greatest and cheapest cocktail lists in the North East, it caters for every taste. There is the usual array of alcoholic beverages, beer, spirits, wine, although with over 40 cocktails to chose from and cheap deals when buying in multiples of 2 I'm not sure why you'd have anything so average. Wednesday night is rock karaoke night, and the dark lighting combined with the relaxed ambience ensures inhibitions are far and few between so there is always a long list of participants- however questionable their vocal abilities are. The DJ, conveniently postitioned a stones throw opposite the bar, is open to requests but be prepared for him to laugh in your face should you request anything "pop". All in all a good place to start your night if rock isn't your cup of tea, but if it is then stay there til closing and move on to Moshulu, its neighbouring rock club.
