Join us the night before drambusters for a very special event


Dumfries' newest whisky tasting room is open after a beautiful restoration - The Howff at The Globe Inn. 

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.
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.

    Chocolates were absolutely delicious but feel the cocktails are just too strong. This might just be my taste but feel the alcohol takes over from the flavour which spoils them a little.

    Reply from The Night Before - A Howff Whisky Dinner

    Dear Henry, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you loved every minute of the tour. Kathleen is fantastic at bringing the stories, poetry, and history of Robert Burns to life, and we will be delighted to pass your kind words directly to her—she will be so pleased to know how much you enjoyed the experience. Sharing Rabbie’s favourite historic haunt is a true passion for our entire team, and we’re so glad it made for such a memorable visit. We hope to welcome you back to The Globe Inn again soon—perhaps next time to join us for a dram or a meal!
