Discover more about Ninety-Nine
An approachable city‑centre cocktail room
Ninety‑Nine sits down a narrow lane off Aberdeen’s central streets, arranged over compact, cosy floors that combine a bar counter with comfortable seating and communal tables. The interior balances warm lighting, layered seating and personal touches to create an intimate atmosphere where cocktails and conversation are the focus.Cocktails, spirits and a neighbourhood food list
The drinks programme emphasises handcrafted cocktails alongside a curated spirit list; bartenders here take a playful, ingredient‑led approach so expect twists on classics and seasonal signatures. Food is written to complement drinks rather than compete with them: small plates, burgers and shareable dishes with straightforward, ingredient‑forward flavours described as New York‑neighbourhood influenced on the venue’s menu.Character and sensory details
Walk in and you’ll notice close, chatty acoustics, the clink of glassware and the scent of citrus oils and warmed spices when cocktails are finished at the pass. Lighting is low and warm in the evening, creating pockets of privacy; at lunchtimes and weekend afternoons the space feels brighter and more casual when the kitchen opens earlier.Service style and evening rhythm
Service at Ninety‑Nine is attentive and personable, with a team that mixes bartender theatre and table service. The venue operates later into the night on Fridays and Saturdays, shifting from a relaxed midweek vibe to a busier, social weekend rhythm where live conversation and music set the tempo.Who it suits and when to visit
This is a good stop for friends catching up over cocktails, couples seeking a lively yet cosy evening, and groups looking for shareable plates alongside drinks. Expect a livelier scene from Friday through Sunday; quieter visits are more likely on weekday evenings when the atmosphere is gentler and more conversational.Practical character notes
The venue occupies a compact footprint typical of historic city lanes, so seating can feel snug; the layout encourages lingering rather than rushing. A strong drinks focus, a kitchen offering comfort plates, and a friendly, local‑orientated service style combine to make Ninety‑Nine feel like a modern neighbourhood bar with culinary ambitions.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
