    Aberdeen, AB10 1PR

    Golden Square, Aberdeen

    Come for the food.
    Stay for everything else.

    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 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.

    The Bar

    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.

    This is the second time in a week I have visited and for a good reason! The food is really tasty and fresh, service is great and always with a smile (especially manager Ian), and the place has a great atmosphere. I’ve been at both lunch and dinner time and enjoyed the music and general buzz. Can’t wait to see this place thrive in the city!

    Outstanding food and service, Kirsty our server couldn’t do more for us, even giving suggestions and recommendations from the menu. Shout out to Ian the manager always on the go, clearing tables and helping, unlike many managers I have seen! Well done guys, we’ll be back :)

    Ever tried a rowie (buttery) with beef brisket? 🍴 I headed to @hammermansrestaurantandbar in Aberdeen last week to try five of their small plates – including Irn Bru glazed cauliflower wings, a mini rowie stack and a Cullen skink croquette. The menu is built around small Scottish plates with big flavours, but is it worth a visit?
