  • Address: 50 High Street, Laurencekirk, AB30 1AB.
  • Phone number: (01561) 377 097

  • However, unfortunately Laurencekirk is home to a lot of small minded, ignorant people, and the staff of this outlet sometimes have to put up with hassle from these idiots.

Laurencekirk's Drink



Crown Hotel
  • Address: High Street, Laurencekirk, AB30 1BL.
  • Phone number: (01561) 377353
  • Description: The Crown Hotel is fairly central to Laurencekirk. It draws in a large crowd most weekends, with a wide age range.

    The back part of the Crown can be hired out for birthdays or occasions, and you can hire a DJ too.

    The Crown Hotel also runs quizzes from time to time.
Royal Hotel
  • Address: Conveth Place, Laurencekirk, AB30 1AD.
  • Phone number: (01561) 377487
  • Description: The Royal Hotel is situated near the bottom end of Laurencekirk. It is a bit hit and miss on whether it will be busy or not at the weekends. From my experience, the Royal does not pull in as young a crowd as the Crown, but rather a slightly older crowd.

    The Royal Hotel has tables you can use if it's a nice day outside.
Western Inn
  • Address: 217 High Street, Laurencekirk, AB30 1BQ.
  • Phone number: (01561) 377221
  • Description: The Western Inn is at opposite end to the Royal, but they are similar.

    Like the Crown, the Western has a back room which can be used for parties and meals.

    In Laurencekirk, the Western is known as an old man's pub, but its a nice place to start the evening, or end it.
