    Come for the food.
    Stay for everything else.

    Aberdeen's #1 restaurant and cocktail bar — 1 Golden Square, Aberdeen city centre

    Small Scottish plates, signature cocktails and proper evenings out — right in the heart of the city.

    A wee bit of history. A lot of good food.

    Aberdeen's most storied corner just got a lot more interesting.

    There's a reason this place is called Hammerman's. The craftsmen who gave the venue its name — goldsmiths, blacksmiths, silversmiths, clockmakers — built Golden Square itself in the early 1800s. The streets that surround us are named after their trade: Crown Street, Silver Street, Diamond Lane, Ruby Place. This neighbourhood has been shaped by people who took their craft seriously.

    We feel that. Whether it's the way Matthew, Adam and the kitchen team approach a plate of food, or the care the bar team put into every cocktail, Hammerman's is one of Aberdeen's most exciting new restaurants and cocktail bars — a place where things are done properly. Come as you are, stay as long as you like, and leave with a reason to come back.

    Cocktails worth talking about.

    The Hammerfall. The Silver Hammer. These drinks were made for this place — and for people who appreciate a glass that's been thought about. Our bar team craft every cocktail from scratch, and the wine list has been chosen with the same care. Pull up a stool. Order something you haven't tried before. You're in good hands.

    AD | Invite Scottish tapas? That definitely caught my attention. Hammermans on Golden Square has launched a new sharing menu, putting a Scottish twist on the classic tapas concept. Choose any three small plates for £25, making it a great option if you fancy trying a few different dishes instead of committing to one main. We tried everything from scampi tacos and a black pudding & chorizo hot pot to salt and pepper cauliflower wings, chicken skewers and oyster mushrooms. We also sampled a couple of the cocktails, which put their own Scottish spin on some familiar favourites. If you’re looking for somewhere a little different for your next catch-up in Aberdeen city centre, this is one to add to the list. Would you order three plates to share… or would you be keeping them all to yourself?
