About The Tilted Wig

This is the background on The Tilted Wig, from the venue and its listings. It books mixed acts. The notes below sum up what the venue and its listings say.

The Tilted Wig is a grassroots music venue in Aberdeen. It books Mixed.

Listing notes

The ‌‌‍Tilted Wig occupies a prominent corner at 55-56 Castle Street on Aberdeen's Castlegate, reopened after a £150k revamp in November 2025 that redesigned the interior, expanded the drinks range (including Aberdeen's largest rum selection) and brought food service back. It serves beer and bar food with live sport on the screens and live music among its regular entertainment, plus weekly quiz nights (Thursday and Sunday). The pub has a house PA for performers and a mixed-genre booking policy, welcoming both originals and covers. It trades until midnight from Sunday to Thursday and until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays.
