    Scottish small plates restaurant Aberdeen — Hammerman's kitchen team

    1 Golden Square,

    Golden Square, Aberdeen

    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 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.

    What People Say

    Don't just take our word for it.

    We arrived early for our booking (15/20mins) and were turned away in a snippy and unfriendly manner and told, curtly, to come back at the right time. We nearly cancelled but glad we didn't. We returned and were welcomed, in a buisness like, manner of no warmth and shown to our table. From then on we had a very good experience. Lovely, helpful waitress. Nice small plates menu. Tasty food. Good service and great evening. We would highly recommend this rrestaurant but don't arrive early or late as no allowance for our age (80s) was made. Thank goodness it wasn't raining!

    Mycket mycket bra mat, bästa vi ätit i Skottland! Jättetrevlig personal (Jola och Ila) som serverade oss, enda nackdelen var ljudvolymen därinne! Duktig trubadur också!
