Large modern bar geared up for groups of visiting tourists I think. It was when I popped in anyway. I went in as it served beer and I was on a crawl. The Guinness was decent and the view was good. Has pool table and a dance floor. Was only in briefly and I enjoyed myself. Possibly a pub to visit if you’re unsure of your pubs or in a large group with children. Serves food

We originally booked & paid for the Scottish Ceilidh at 8pm, we got there earlier to eat first. The food & service was really good, especially loved the Long Prawn Bruschetta. The Ceilidh was great fun and although our dancing was erratic today the least, we were guided through it by the caller who made sort of dancers of all of us. The young lady was distancing demonstrations was incredible! The only thing I would say is that we paid for the Ceilidh in advance but it seemed that others turned up on the night to eat and stayed on for the Ceilidh without being asked to pay. I thought perhaps they should’ve taken our pre-charge off the bill as we ate there too. My advice would be therefore to turn up to eat before 8 and then watch the excellent entertainment for free

Decent enough venue, views from upstairs were quality, though was getting dark by the time we got there. Wasn't too keen on their draft IPA, BrewDog would had been better

We recently dined at this charming spot in Oban with a group of five, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the friendly and attentive service made us feel right at home, striking that perfect balance of being helpful without hovering. We were lucky to visit on a Thursday, in time to get a table for some live Scottish music, which added so much fun and authenticity to the atmosphere. There’s free dance included with the show andI don’t care how shy you are or how much you like dancing, you gotta try it. It’s so much fun! The view over the harbor was simply stunning, especially as we arrived around 18:30 to catch a beautiful sunset. Watching the sun dip behind the mountains across the harbor while enjoying our meal was a real highlight. As for the food, every single person in our party enjoyed their dish! If you're looking for a place in Oban that combines delicious food, great service, local music, and breathtaking views, this is the spot. It’s hard to imagine packing more into such a short visit anywhere else!
