The Tippling House to open in Aberdeen

Business partners Adrian Gomes and Andrew Sanways have taken on the lease at the former Belmont Bar in Aberdeen. The Belmont Street bar will re-open in August with a new name, The Tippling House. Gomes, who currently runs Aberdeen mobile catering company Ten Dollar Shake, told DRAM, “The name is what 18th Century Jamaican underground taverns were known as, and we have a late licence, so we plan on opening a late night bar/restaurant. We are going to be ripping much of the old bar out, and exposing many of the original features in the building, including the granite walls. The emphasis will also be on table service.” Previously, Gomes managed Aberdeen’s Snafu nightclub for four years.
