Didn't feel comfortable at all here. Strange atmosphere, we only stayed for 1 drink and left ! Cant really think of any positive to say !
During our visit, my wife and I made a reservation for dinner at this restaurant. Unfortunately, we were not impressed with the expensive, uninspiring, and bland food and wine.

FAQ
More information
Regulars say the Argyll’s charm comes from small, local rituals: the bar staff will happily recommend the day’s best catch or ale, musicians and locals sometimes start impromptu sets, and dogs usually get a treat by the bar. Also, staff often point visitors toward nearby coastal walks and lesser‑known viewpoints that most guidebooks miss—ask behind the bar for their favourite secret spots.
