The Tippling House wins two runner up prizes in Observer Food Monthly The Tippling House has been recognised by The Observer newspaper's monthly food supplement Observer Food Monthly in its UK-wide round-up of some of the finest establishments in the country, dishing out accolades for cheap eats, creative cocktails and sumptuous Sunday lunches. And the Belmont Street tavern has been named as a runner-up in not one but two categories in the magazine's awards ceremony, championing its drinks menu and reasonably priced cuisine. The late-night bar and restaurant quickly took to Facebook on Monday to inform readers of their exciting news. Scooping a runner up place in the Best Cheap Eats category, which focuses on the top eateries offering a meal for under £15, the restaurant was praised for its use of "ultra-local produce - from Glenfiddich to Grampian rhubarb." But perhaps unsurprisingly the tavern, known for its unusual and complex cocktail menu, was also recognised for its drinks selection in the Best Bars and Pubs category, with judges citing the Tippling House as "Dimly-lit and atmospheric, with an excellent whisky menu." Want to know what all the fuss is about? There are still spaces left for the restaurant's beer dinner on Tuesday, which has been organised in conjunction with Belgian beer bar Six Degrees North. Do you think The Tippling House's two new awards are well deserved? Or is there somewhere else in the city you prefer to go for a bite to eat and a cocktail? Let us know on Twitter @STVAberdeen.
