And he even posed for photos with fans and staff. Onlookers said the singer was "gracious and upbeat" as he took the time to chat with guests and raise a glass with fellow supporters. He's a fan of The Atlantic and its sister venue The Anchor Line, where he visits regularly for family occasions and can often be spotted enjoying a pre or post-match meal or drink when in the city. A member of staff said: 'Even with the result, Rod was in great form. "He told us earlier in the week he'd be coming in after the game, and he stuck to his word. It was a real buzz for everyone.' The art-deco restaurant - which offers French-inspired cuisine - shared a picture of the star posing with staff to Facebook. The caption read: 'We were delighted to have Sir Rod Stewart in after the game today. 'Our Poitrine de Porc was his dish of choice. "Slow cooked pork belly, black pudding, potato pavé, cauliflower purée, savoy cabbage, pancetta fricassée, pickled mustard seeds and Arran mustard jus.' Roy Keane smirks live on TV before responding to Ruben Amorim's claim that the 'good days are coming' for Man Utd After a tense 30 minutes of extra time, Saturday's match was decided on penalties, with Aberdeen keeper Dimitar Mitov making two saves to bring the cup to the north east of Scotland for the first time since 1990.
