A steakhouse and cocktail bar in the Sandman Signature hotel in Aberdeen, cooking British beef.

Welcome

On the ground floor of the Sandman Signature hotel, at the north end of the city centre, Chop Grill & Bar is a big, buzzy steakhouse with a long bar, orange leather stools and deep booths under warm hanging lamps.

A neon sign on the brick wall says Gie's a bosie, Doric for give us a hug.

The menu mixes Canadian recipes with Scottish produce. Steaks are the heart of it, all British beef, alongside burgers, chipotle mango chicken, haggis bon bons and plates to share, with sticky toffee pudding to finish and a vegan steak for anyone who wants one. The cocktails are made by hand at the bar.

It is a relaxed place for lunch, a drink after work or a night out, open every day from noon until late.
