Dumfries' monthly whisky dinner


The word “howff” is a traditional Scots term meaning a favourite haunt, meeting place, or customary gathering spot for friends.
Steeped in history and rich with stories, this iconic space—once the historic meeting place of the Robert Burns Howff Club—has been given a spirited new lease of life.

Today, it stands transformed into Dumfries’ dedicated whisky tasting room: a welcoming sanctuary created specifically for whisky fans, seasoned aficionados, and curious beginners alike to gather, explore, and indulge their passion.


Experience a curated journey through the world’s finest drams, each flawlessly paired with a bespoke three-course dinner.
Every dram is brought to life with expert commentary from John Coombes, Whisky Manager at the acclaimed Annandale Distillery, guiding you through the notes, history, and craft behind every pour.


An Exclusive Experience at The Howff’
To preserve the intimate atmosphere seating is strictly limited to just 12 guests per sitting.
Doors 7.00pm, First Dram 7.30pm.
Due to the bespoke, curated nature of our menus, please notify us of any dietary requirements at the time of booking.
