Under the Hammer

You'll find Under the Hammer tucked away on North Silver Street, in that part of Aberdeen that feels like it belongs to locals rather than tourists. The bar's got the kind of atmosphere where regulars prop up the counter and the staff remember your name—nothing forced about it, just honest hospitality. It's the sort of place you stumble into on a Friday after work and somehow end up staying until closing time, nursing better-than-average cocktails or a decent pint. The ratings speak for themselves: 4.6 stars from genuine punters who keep coming back.
