Where Aberdeen
Gathers

Freshly cooked food, Aberdeen's largest rum collection, live sports, and quiz nights every Thursday and Sunday. Open from 12pm every day.

A proper pub.
Properly looked after.

After a £150,000 refurbishment in 2025, The Tilted Wig reopened with Aberdeen's longest restored wooden bar, William Morris-style wallpaper, Victorian floor tiles, and seating that makes you want to stay.

Adjacent to the Sheriff Court, the name is no coincidence. The atmosphere is cross-generational, warm, and genuinely welcoming.
