Orchid Cocktails

I used to love this place, as they used to make a fantastic Old Fashioned. However, I went there in Sept 2023 and there was a disappointing drop in quality. Diluted Old Fashioned cocktails and it was too sweet, with poor presentation. The ice used was improper and the cup was not frozen like it used to be. I attached a photo of how it used to look. (Dec 2022) My partner also ordered a drink from their fancy menu, which came in a ‘deconstructed’ cocktail with very sub-par quality. Also needed to ‘break the code’ and look for answers to open the treasure box in the dark in order to have the cocktail - something we weren’t expecting at all, and it was not an easy answer. Pretty annoying really if we’re just there for a nice cocktail. I am now hesitant to return to this place again. Sad that the best cocktail place in Aberdeen now has declined in quality.

Usually love coming here but tonight the service has been absolutely appalling. No one has even acknowledged me and I’ve been here for 15 minutes…don’t think there’s anything slowing Aberdeen down so no good reason for this kind of nonsense: shocking.

Rory & Ali delivered a brilliant experience from start to finish of our visit

Great place. Nice atmosphere and tasty cocktails. As well gin tasting session was amazing. Guy who was leading it provided a lot of interesting and detail information on gin itself and its history.

Great fun. Great place to try custom made drinks 🍷🥂 open until 2:00 on Sunday💥 😜

The gents toilets are disgusting, no flushing of urinals, one of them taped up , urine all over the floor , 2 wash basins , no water to one of them ,the other basin with tap hanging off , door to toilets filthy. Need to keep an eye on this and spend some money on cleaning and repairs I don't believe this all happened the day I was there at 6.30 pm ? Should be shut down unless this is rectified. Major Health risk

Fantastic place with a really good atmosphere. Especially when there’s live music on. The staff are super-friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Multiple times I’ve been and had different staff show me different drinks or twists on classics. Overall, exceptional venue.

What an amazing place, no wonder it’s award winning. We loved the first class service and fabulous cocktails. Definitely worth a visit or two! Best cocktail bar in Aberdeen 🩷
