Birth of a BBQ Legacy

Smoke & Soul began as a passionate street food venture by local foodies Corey and Lindsay, two Aberdeen natives driven by a love for low-and-slow BBQ. Starting with pop-up stalls and event catering across the North East, their wood-fired soul food quickly gained traction. Slow-smoked meats, hearty sandwiches, and comfort classics like loaded nachos drew crowds, leading to a permanent residency inside Six°North. This partnership transformed a craft beer haven into a full sensory experience, blending smoky aromas with hoppy brews.

Craft Beer Meets Smoky Soul

Six°North, flagship of a Scottish craft beer empire spanning Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dundee, specializes in Belgian-inspired artisanal beers brewed on-site. The bar boasts one of Aberdeen's largest selections, paired perfectly with Smoke & Soul's menu of pulled meats, smash burgers, mac & cheese, and dirty fries. Premium local spirits complement the lineup, creating an inviting space for beer enthusiasts and BBQ lovers alike. The understated interior features colorful wall art, cozy booths, and communal benches, fostering a relaxed vibe amid the hum of city life.

Menu Highlights and Inclusivity

Expect generous portions of premium BBQ: slow-smoked brisket burgers, garlic chicken brioche, pork tacos, buffalo wings, and towering nachos topped with fresh salsa, guacamole, and cheddar. Vegetarian and vegan dishes ensure broad appeal, while a kids' menu caters to families. Sides like cheesy mac and oversized fries add to the indulgent appeal. Specials rotate with events, from Pride celebrations with boozy brunches to Texas BBQ nights, all served in a casual street-food style elevated by quality ingredients.

Venue Atmosphere and Events

The Littlejohn Street location pulses with energy, especially on weekends when hours stretch into the night. Minimalist design keeps the focus on food and drink, with the sizzle of the smoker and clink of glasses providing the soundtrack. It's a hub for exclusive events, private hires for weddings or corporates, and themed nights that infuse the space with party anthems and innovative cocktails. Takeaway and Deliveroo options extend the experience homeward.

Everyday Comfort in Aberdeen's Heart

Operating from a compact city centre spot, Smoke & Soul embodies accessible indulgence. Wood-fired techniques infuse dishes with deep flavor, using fresh, simple ingredients for that higher-end street food feel. Whether grabbing a quick loaded fry or lingering over a flight of craft beers, the venue captures Aberdeen's evolving food scene—unpretentious yet flavorful, communal yet personal.
