If you could conjure up an image of the perfect bar, what would it look like? A welcoming atmosphere with a huge selection of beer and ale? How about shelves practically overflowing with single malt whisky and Scottish craft gin?

Or would it be comfy seating around a cosy fire to keep the chill out during the winter months? Perhaps a sun terrace where you can enjoy a summer’s day, relaxing with a cold drink and taking in the sights and sounds of harbour life?

If you think perfection doesn’t exist, then you’ve never visited The Ship Inn as we offer all of the above and more in our family-friendly lounge bar.

As one of the oldest inns along this stretch of Aberdeenshire coastline, you’ll find nods to our nautical history throughout the bar, where our regulars happily welcome visitors like old friends.

Bar meals are served up, with al fresco dining an option in summer. Dogs are very much welcome…when accompanied by well-behaved owners, of course.

If you’re looking for a lively atmosphere and all the latest sports action, you may want to visit our sister establishment, Troupers Bar. Located in Barclay Street, it’s one of the most popular bars in town and just a five minute walk from The Ship Inn.
