10 Dollar Shake opens Rye & Soda

Rye and Soda, the latest venture from 10 Dollar Shake in Aberdeen, has opened in the city’s Academy building on Belmont Street. The venue is a tapas bar and restaurant that also specialises in cocktails, gin and homemade sodas. 10 Dollar Shake founder Adrian Gomes (above) told DRAM, “We were looking for something which differentiated from our other venue The Tippling House and catered to under-utilised aspects of the Aberdeen scene, specifically premium gins and a great brunch menu. We wanted to be very food friendly.” Adrian was also involved in the craft beer festival North Hop in Inverness at the end of August, which featured beers and ciders from ten Scottish breweries as well as artisan gin, cocktails, street foods and local musicians. Says Adrian, “It was great for us to show customers outside of Aberdeen what we can do, whilst bringing some of our current fans north for the festival.”
