The Hauf & Howff
The Hauf & Howff is Bonnie & Wild's main bar, and one of the largest within the St James Quarter. Bustling and accessible from all sides, this island bar is at the heart of our Edinburgh Food Hall, with drinks being poured, and food being enjoyed all around you!
Hauf /höf/ (Scot) n a half measure; also, a hauf an a hauf, a whisky and a half pint of beer.
Howff /howf/ (Scot) n a haunt or meeting place, often a public house.
Like all our bars, the Hauf & Howff has a superb range of draught beers, cocktails and wines, as well as a superbly stocked gantry of craft spirits from Scotland’s best distillers.
For beers, we have classic craft ales from acclaimed breweries such as Pilot, Edinburgh Beer Factory, Fierce Beer and Jump Ship. For cider lovers, we’ve the peerless Thistly Cross. We’ve vodka from Arbikie, rum from Ninefold, and gins from all across Scotland, including Misty Isle, Caorunn, Botanist, Lind & Lime, Isle of Raasay, Crabbie’s, the Secret Herb Garden and more! Our range of whiskies is equally impressive. All the Scotch whisky regions are represented, from Isle of Harris on the Western Isles, Highland Park in the Northern Isles to nearby Glenkinchie, to Bruichladdich from Islay and Macallan and GlenAllachie up in Speyside to name but a few.
And for discerning lovers of wine, each of our bars has a curated selection of wines, thoughtfully selected by the sommeliers at Inverarity Morton, including the wonderful Sea Change wines, which reinvests its profits into marine conservation.
Our cocktail menu is competitively priced and includes classics such as Aperol Spritz, Elderflower Collins, Spicy Tommy’s Margarita or Rum Punch alongside a selection of seasonal cocktails tailor-made for you! We also do some great mocktails!
Of course, if you’re looking for something non-alcoholic, we can offer the likes of Feragaia, alongside softs from acclaimed local producers Rapscallion and Bon Accord.
