The Old Bank Bar

The Old Bank Bar is a British pub and cafe bar serving Scottish and British pub food in Peterculter, Aberdeenshire. Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 97 Google reviews and holding Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice status with a 4.2 rating across 17 reviews, it draws walkers and cyclists from the Deeside Line for a straightforward meal or pint. Housed in a Victorian building with a sun-trap terrace, sporting memorabilia on the walls and a well-stocked bar of real ales, it operates as a welcoming local with darts and pool. The business holds a Food Hygiene Information Scheme Pass from Aberdeen City Council and opens daily from 9am to midnight.

Daytime trade centres on unfussy cooked food rather than fine dining: a Scottish breakfast, gammon with fried eggs and chips, chicken goujons served with homemade coleslaw praised in long-standing reviews, and toasties or paninis that arrive quickly according to 2025 visitors. Press and Journal coverage of the area food scene also lists pancakes, butteries with jam, scrambled eggs on toast and hot filled rolls among morning options. Tripadvisor lists the menu as vegetarian-friendly. There is no listing on Just Eat, Uber Eats or Deliveroo; orders are for collection or dine-in at this local pub.
