Come for the food.
Stay for everything else.

Golden Square has a long history, and now it has Hammerman's too.

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 a restaurant and cocktail bar where things are done properly. Come as you are, stay as long as you like, and leave with a reason to come back.

Small plates. Big flavours.
Seconds are encouraged.

Our kitchen team's menu is rooted in Scotland and not afraid to have fun with it. Haggis Pakora. Whisky-Glazed Pork Belly Bites. Shetland Mussels with nduja cream. Slow-Braised Venison Pie. Seasonal sharing plates built from local produce. And here's the deal:

If you're looking for somewhere to eat in Aberdeen city centre, or a cocktail bar that serves proper food, you'll find both at Hammerman's.

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.

Bring the whole family.

Younger guests get their own menu — two courses for £9.95 — cooked with the same care as everything else we serve, with vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options available.
