6 - 8 Little Belmont Street, Aberdeen, AB10 1JG (View on Google Map)

Known simply as Ma's, this is one of Aberdeen's oldest pubs. It has a re-furbished snug bar (October 2015) with serving hatch which does not seem to be listed. There is a modern, expansive lounge where meals are served until 9pm every day. Children are permitted, if dining, until 8pm.

There are four handpumps in the back lounge and three in the snug offering an Inveralmond beer plus others usually from the Greene King/Belhaven range. A quiz is held on Monday, live music one Friday a month, and sport is screened on the TV in the lounge. Roof terrace beer garden open in the summer months.

Re-opened after refurbishment on 29th October 2015. The snug was going to have some structural alterations done which it was felt would destroy a historic part of the pub. However, after several complaints about this, the structural changes were cancelled and the structure remains intact. The snug bar has been painted grey whilst the snug itself has been re-varnished, new tables installed and a new flame effect stove replacing the soulless convector heater. It is proposed to improve the range of real ales and increase the variety of whiskies.

The snug bar (now called the Whisky Bar) has limited opening hours although you can still sit in the snug itself when the bar part is closed and you will need to go through to the main back bar to get drinks. Snug bar is open 3 - 10pm Friday, 12 to midnight Saturday and 12 to 5pm Sunday and is closed Monday to Thursday inclusive.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

One of Aberdeen’s oldest pubs, ‘Ma’s retains a couple of classic old panelled rooms. The snug has bare bench seating, a hatch for service and two perforated bentwood seats. A partition wall separates the snug from the public bar, which retains its array of old fittings. A small room on the right has been modernised and there has been a massive expansion in recent years but this doesn’t impact adversely on the pair of historic rooms.

General information about historic pub interiors

This pub had a massive expansion in recent years but two of its three original rooms remain unscathed. There is a wood-panelled snug complete with bare bench seating, a hatch for service and two 1920s perforated bentwood seats. A partition wall, which retains two of its five original windows, separates the snug from the public bar on the left. This retains its back gantry, old counter, panelled walls and has two old leather-covered benches. Another small room on the left of the entrance has been modernised. The public bar and snug are only open Thu 5 to 10; Fri 3 to 10; Sat 12 to 12; Sun 12 to 5. Parties can book the snug so at times it may not be open to the public.
