Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world... Aberdeen has some of the best! We are spoiled for choice with locally made spirits in the North East of Scotland, and the city's ever evolving bar scene offers some incredible surroundings to enjoy them in. If you're looking for somewhere to celebrate World Gin Day, check out these six awesome Aberdeen bars.
The Tippling House
With Jindea single estate tea gin as the house serve, the Tippling House is a must visit for any discerning cocktail drinker. Here you'll find a plethora of gin based cocktails, with an ever evolving G&T menu and the offering of tastings, which can be booked via the Tippling House website!

Recently listed 12th in the top 50 cocktail bars in the UK, Orchid is also an excellent spot for gin tastings. Here at the home of Porter's - one of Aberdeen's best known gins - award winning bartenders craft incredible cocktails with an eclectic range of house made infusions.

The Craftsman Company
With it's wide selection of Scottish gins, The Craftsman Company is the perfect place for a perfect serve. A laidback rustic but modern interior with large communal tables, it's ideal for a lunch time pit stop or a catch up with friends. My gin of choice here is Shetland Reel, served with light Fever Tree tonic and a hefty wedge of grapefruit in a giant balloon glass!
Guild Street, Aberdeen
Grape & Grain
"Scotland's most stylish bar 2018" specialises in wine, but also features a generous gin offering. Their current gin of the month "eeNoo" is distilled nearby by Lost Loch Distillery, showcasing a plethora of flavours including Royal Deeside honey, and locally foraged raspberries and brambleberries. For £9 at Grape & Grain a standard serve of 50ml includes tonic and garnish.
Thistle Street, Aberdeen
The Gin Garden
For a more unusual gin haunt, head out of the city to Eat on the Green. Their gorgeous new Gin Garden boasts a menu of 50 gins, as well as one of the prettiest bars in the North East. If you need any more convincing, read my 5 reasons to visit The Gin Garden!
