A popular north-east watering hole has given the local community something to raise their glasses to.
The Fourmile House, in Kingswells, recently changed hands and its new owners plan to bring back its public bar.
The venue’s lounge area is currently undergoing major refurbishment to turn it into a bar.
It will be open seven-days-a-week and will continue to serve a traditional Scottish food and a wide-range of beers and spirits.
Alan Aitken, operations director, said: “The Fourmile has held a long standing connection within the Kingswells community but we felt the area was lacking with no real local pub for the surrounding residents. Although a relatively minor refurbishment, we feel these interior changes will make a huge difference to the atmosphere and provide the community with an excellent place to enjoy a relaxing drink or watch some sport with friends.”
“Since taking ownership, we have received great support from the locals and due its prime location and growing community, it only felt right that we brought back the local bar and revived it back to its heyday.
“We believe the new look will appeal to a variety of customers, with comfortable surroundings, HD sporting action and an extensive drinks range on offer to suit all tastes. We are really look forward to welcoming the locals back and attracting lots of new Fourmile fans.”
Allan Henderson purchased the venue from George Lyon last month, along with his other business, the Ferryhill House Hotel.
Mr Henderson also owns three city centre hostelries – No.10 Bar and Restaurant, McGinty’s Meal An’ Ale, and The Stag.
