Locals bar were made to feel welcome. Good Guinness and plenty of malt whisky to try. Didn’t try the food but looked nice. Would happily visit again if I was staying longer.

Good pub, spotless pints, football on, reasonable prices. Not much more to say. Bar staff are friendly as are local folk, no saloon door staring in here unlike some others in town.

Best bar in Oban with enogh locals to make it fun, but not all locals and so tourists do not feel out of place. Drinks are sensible prices. This is our second visit, our previous one two years ago and if we are in Oban again we would go back .

After traveling to many countries and chating with different people in all of them, this is the first time that I felt a bad feeling. I asked a quick question to the waiter about the best transport to go to Fort William and he seemed offended that I dared to ask something else than just a drink. Maybe he has never seen a Spanish person and was scared. It's important to travel and see world, otherwise you may end up stuck in your little town with a close-minded vision of anything else.

Rude treatment, weird place, strange behaviour by the waiter.
