Last night more than 50 people were invited to get a sneak preview of the newly refurbished Under the Hammer in Aberdeen.

The pub, which closed in March last year, was bought by The McGinty’s Group and has seen around £200K invested into it.

Under the Hammer will open to the public tomorrow (Friday November 5) at 5pm with its new, modern look.

While the granite walls remain, some funky new additions like a patterned wallpaper and new booths have been added.

Guests were treated to a range of craft beer and ales, wines, and fizz on its first launch night which saw contractors, friends of the bar and other industry leaders as well as footballers attend.

There was also a range of cocktails with an Under the Hammer twist on the menu for individuals to sample.

Sharing platters and nibbles were served in line with the venues new food offering.
