The Howff

Walk into The Howff and you're walking into an Aberdeen pub that's been doing its thing without the fuss. It's got that lived-in feel—the kind of place where folk prop up the bar for a proper chat rather than just scrolling their phones. You'll find a solid selection of ales on tap, the sort of thing that appeals to people who know their beer, and the menu's straightforward: proper pub fare that's made an effort without getting pretentious about it. It's Union Street without the shine, which is exactly what you want sometimes.
