10 Dollar Shake was founded in 2010. A cocktail catering company, we deliver a boutique and high-end imbibing experience via a pop-up bar, a handful of passionate, talented bartenders and a unique location such as a country home, marquee, west end office or art gallery. In October 2012 we opened our first bar/restaurant, The Tippling House.

Located in the cultural district of Aberdeen, The Tippling House is a subterranean late-night tavern serving boutique spirits, hand-crafted cocktails, fine Scottish ales & inspired casual dining.

In partnership with Beetroot Restaurants, we are able to provide fine-dining and exceptional imbibing both in-house and on location for events. We look forward to serving you…

 

Adrian Gomes, Founder & Head Bartender

“Architect, DJ, Marketeer, Bartender…essentially I think I was trying to release some creativity, create an impression, somewhere as something or someone. People often cite bartending as that fall-back career option – the last option, when you’ve finally exhausted all patience with the role you’re currently in, but not enjoying one iota. I guess that’s how it began all those years ago. As a cliche.

These days, I can hardly contain my enthusiasm and passion for an industry that’s matured exponentially in the 15 years I’ve been working in it. The people, the brands, the drinks and the good times have had a profound effect on my life. Next year is a whole new chapter…”
