A RENOWNED Scottish cocktail bar in Aberdeen has been put up for sale.
The award-winning Orchid bar has served up hundreds of thousands of drinks throughout the 15 years it has been in operation.
It first opened in 2009 and has been named as one of the UK’s 50 best bars and was shortlisted for GQ magazine’s bar of the year award.
It is regarded as one of the best late-night venues in the city having also won the SLTN Best Cocktail Bar in Scotland award four times.
The basement of the establishment was also where the first distillates of the well-established Porter’s Gin were created.
The directors of the three-storey venue are now looking for new owners to take on the business.

The bar is on the market for offers from £325,000.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
