    Scottish small plates restaurant Aberdeen — Hammerman's kitchen team

    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.

    The Restaurant

    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 the best deal in Aberdeen:

    Any 3 plates for £25

    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.

    What People Say

    Don't just take our word for it.

    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!

    Love a Sunday roast and I must say this place did not disappoint. Food was delicious, portion really generous and for a food that is hard to present nicely it look amazing. Staff were really friendly, especially Jordan who was very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely go back there

    📍 Hammerman’s, Aberdeen 🍽️ Small plates hallelujah 🙌🏻 🤣 Some more pictures from our recent visit to Hammerman’s a couple of weeks back! 😋 Still thinking about how good it all was, especially the shawarma lamb meatballs😍 As I mentioned before, Hammerman’s is situated just off Golden Square in Aberdeen and is the sister venue of @atriumaberdeen . Just like the Atrium, they focus on Scottish classics with a twist and they often update their menus to use seasonal local produce 🫶🏼 Their menu offers 3 small plates for £25, this included weekends too🤩 To recap, we ordered: 🐓 Big Phat Greek chicken skewers 🐑 Shawarma lamb meatballs 🥔Hash brown bites 🥚 Smoked haddock and chive scotch egg 🐠 Scampi tacos 🟤 Haggis pakora 🐷 Whisky glazed pork belly bites The menu is split into meat, fish and veg and we managed to cover a lot of it, but there’s still so much more I want to try😍 Everything was delicious!😍😋 Lots of flavour and cooked perfectly! The hash brown bites are also always a must too😍 We had some lovely drinks too, my Hugo was superb 👌🏼 If you didn’t already have plenty of reasons to visit, there’s another hehe!🤭 Staff were also great, you always get good service here and the staff are always very welcoming 🫶🏼 And a shout out to the ladies bathroom here and at @atriumaberdeen , they’re always so well kitted out with everything you could possibly need - deodorant, hair spray, hair clips, sanitary products, perfume etc! 😍 More bathrooms need to be like this!! Get this one on your list! 😍 Thank you again @hammermansrestaurantandbar for a super evening 🫶🏼 This was part of an invite but I was under no obligation to post again, I just genuinely really loved our evening here and the food was beautiful😍 ⭐ 10/10 #hammermans #aberdeen #yummy #foodie #supportlocal
