A popular Aberdeen bar and live entertainment venue has returned to the city’s nightlife scene following what is described as a £400,000 summer “glow-up”.
Paramount Bar on Bon Accord Street has revealed an interior makeover, which includes sharks coming out of walls, strobe and neon lighting, and animal-print seating.
The venue is part of Signature Group, a hospitality company comprising more than 20 bars, restaurants, and hotels, as well as a nightclub and a brewery, with venues in Aberdeen, Glasgow, St Andrews, Bridge of Allan and Edinburgh.
