    1 Golden Square,
    Aberdeen, AB10 1PR

    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, 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.

    What People Say

    Don't just take our word for it.

    Me and my husband went here for lunch. Loved the decor and the staff were very friendly. We chose 3 different small plates each. The plates had more on them than expected. All of the food was delicious. My favourite eas the chorizo and black pudding hot pot and my husband really enjoyed the smoked haddock scotch egg. Foos and drinks were very reasonably priced. The ladies toilet was beautifully decorated and the basket with various toiletries in it was a nice touch. Will definitely be coming back and would recommend to family and friends.

    AD | Hammerman’s 🌺 Feeling hungry? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Cos when I tell you we rolled out the door after this visit to @hammermansrestaurantandbar - I mean we ROLLED! 🐷 Hammerman’s have recently launched a new and updated Small Plates menu. You can order 3 plates for £25 which is such good value for the portion sizes. We ordered 6 to share and @alistairlaing ordered a 7th plate cos he was super hungry after a big training session (he’s currently training for an Ironman 🤯). Which even he admitted in hindsight defo wasn’t needed cos he was soooo full 😂 I love that the menu is small plates, but with a Scottish twist - expect haggis, black pudding, whisky, venison 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 And there’s such a good variety of meat, fish and veggie options - plus some tasty sounding nibbles too 😋 For dessert Alistair went for the orange posset and I couldn’t resist the sound of the rice pudding arancini, which comes with a warm dulce de leche - the perfect finish for my sweet tooth. And can we take a moment to appreciate the lovely Abbie 🙌🏼 She was our fabulous server and looked after us so well. You know when you just feel 100% comfortable and relaxed because they’ve got everything under control? She was even one step ahead and preempting our needs too. I’m not sure if I get a vote for employed the month, but if I do - my vote definitely goes to Abbie 🗳️ We ate/drank: > Whisky glazed pork belly bites > Duo of sliders > Slow braised venison pie > Crispy scampi tacos > Smoked haddock & chive scotch egg > Roasted red pepper houmous > Fig & blue cheese tartlet > Rice pudding arancini > Orange posset > Hibiscus bloom > Tangy tangerine (working title) Alistair and I have already agreed our next visit needs to be on a Sunday - their roast looks reeeaaally good 😍 And I’ve got my eye on the malibu s’mores brownie 👀 Aberdeen restaurant | Scottish | small plates | tapas | Aberdeen #hammermans #aberdeen #scottish #smallplates #tapas

    I did this voice over off the cuff, just as it came to me but l’ve re watched it and heard myself saying “honestly”... which is Al bingo to me so now that’s all I can hear 😆 you’ll be thinking this was generated online but it’s actually how I truly feel...so if you’re not a whisky lover, I’d still recommend the cocktail because the lavender and honey really counteracted the booze and made it sweet but with a smokey undertone. don’t judge me on my honestly I just like being HONEST over here. PS, this was a wonderful invite (ad) from @hammermansrestaurantandbar and it tied in nicely for my birthday. I will be returning..i just need to find someone willing to share a Sunday Roast board with me!!
