The Tippling House
About
The Tippling House is a subterranean gem tucked into Aberdeen’s Cultural Quarter, just a few steps from the city’s art gallery and the historic Majesty’s Theatre. Its Italian‑style decor, cosy booths and tweed‑accented walls create a warm, intimate escape where locals and visitors alike can unwind after a day of sightseeing. Offering a menu that marries classic Scottish ingredients with inventive cocktails, the venue is famed for its seasonal craft libations, including an impressive selection of gin, whisky and beer, as well as a full range of savory bar‑snacks and small‑plates. From a Monday dusk‑to‑midnight wing of small‑plates to a Saturday midnight‑to‑midnight bar‑snack crawl, The Tippling House keeps the fun going late into the night. Their most talked‑about events are the Gin & Whisky dinners paired with local spirits, the Champagne “Bottomless” brunch on Saturdays, and the ever‑popular bottom‑less Champagne brunch that runs from 1 pm. Flipping between an elegant, subdued dining room and a vibrant bar, the venue honours a dedicated house etiquette: no children under 18, require a non‑refundable deposit for most specials, and strongly recommend booking in advance to lock in your table for their limited seating. Whether you’re a cocktail enthusiast, a whisky aficionado or simply craving a hearty brunch, The Tippling House offers a distinctive, underground dining experience that is best enjoyed at your own pace. With the period of operation spanning Tuesday‑Saturday, and a prompt quick‑service “bar‑snacks” till late night, this venue is a hidden highlight for those looking for a relaxed, indulgent evening in Aberdeen.
