The Howff Bar, Pub in Aberdeen

Reviews

1. Marcel Lerra ★★★★★

   Upon walking in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, Quinn who was behind the bar asked if we were in for food or drinks, upon my response of food, they said just to sit anywhere we would like and would pop over to take our orders. The service and friendliness that was given was absolutely warm and perfectly polite, gave us adequate time for deciding on drinks and then again for food. Food was absolutely delicious, superb amount and presented gorgeously. Would highly recommend if want a nice quiet drink and something lovely to drink, or something to eat from the perfect sized menu.

   Nice and welcoming cellar pub with excellent service and a fine choice of beers. Really a place to go. Just the food was a bit ordinary; definitely not bad and in fact tasty, though it did taste like it was delivered by a "pub food service"

   I genuinely had such a nice experience here today. We had a table booked which I am glad we did as it got busy and it doesn’t have a massive capacity. Good range of food options. Connor and Quinn were fab as our servers. Very polite, attentive and helpful. We were very happy. We will definitely be back. My friend and I were saying that there isn’t much up “that end of union street” to draw in foot traffic but I think if you know how good it is, it is a reason to visit in itself!

   We have literally just been. The website says they are open from 12 and the door was open. We entered and were met by a bartender that just kept looking at us with a very much terrified expression and did not engage. A male has then came from the kitchen area immediately telling us off that they are open from 12:30pm and we shouldn’t be here. Change your hours on the website please.

   Lovely comfy cellar bar. Very atmospheric. Good selection of beers and spirits. The food is quite simply gorgeous. Home made soup and chips. All freshly made and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and when serving food were attentive without being intrusive. None of this asking how your meal is when you've got a mouth full and can only nod and make noises. All in well worth a visit.

   The daytime waitress "Amy" was fantastic. She was very friendly and on her game. The curry we both had was very tasty! Amy went so far as to tell us about the upcoming Christmas event as well. Many thanks from Fiona and John visiting from Canada. We'll be back for sure.

   Came across by chance, very good food and prices. Beer selection also good. A hidden gem.

   Had late lunch here & was very impressed with the food & service. I had a starter of loaded nachos which was plentiful & tasty, & certainly ample for a main course. My companions enjoyed their meals too, & actually took away a good portion of prawn poppers -- or whatever they were called -- as a takeaway. Staff were very helpful & courteous. Will definitely be going again.
