The Market Arms

You'll find The Market Arms tucked away on Hadden Street, just off the main drag in Aberdeen's city centre — the kind of place where regulars prop up the bar and actually know the staff's names. It's unpretentious in the best way: you're here for a decent pint, some solid pub grub, and conversation that doesn't involve anyone's Instagram feed. The bar has that worn-in comfort of somewhere that's been doing the same thing properly for years, with enough character in the walls to suggest it's seen some stories. Friendly without being forced, it's the sort of neighbourhood pub that proper Aberdeen folk actually choose when they want a night out.
