Title
34-38 Loch Street (Swan Bar)
Description
A photograph looking south towards the Swan Bar at 34-38 Loch Street in around 1986 or 1987. This image is one of a series taken by Aberdeen City Council to record buildings prior to the redevelopment of the area and construction of the Bon Accord Centre. <i>The Aberdeen Pub Companion</i> (1975) by Archibald Hopkin describes the Swan Bar as "a small old pub just off George Street. It consists of a small lounge and public bar where darts figure prominently - the manager for many years was George Baxter who founded the Aberdeen Darts Association. The Lounge has its own door on Loch Street but not a separate bar counter. The range of drinks is unexceptional even for a brewer's bar but the pints of Tennant's lager or Bass special will not need any forcing down." (Page 108). An account of the final night of service in this popular pub is given in the <i>Press and Journal</i> of Wednesday 15th April 1987, page 3. All the buildings along this part of Loch Street were replaced with the north elevation of the new shopping centre.
