Drinks & Nightlife

Oldest pub in Oban. Lovely little traditional pub with cosy corners for drinking upstairs, and warm lounge with fires and eating options upstairs. Usually live music on Saturday eve’s. Also good for inexpensive, Scottish pub grub.

The biggest and busiest bar in Oban. Cheap and cheerful but great spot for a drink, particularly in Summer, with views from the North Pier. Lots of good value drinking and eating options on extensive menu.

The best place for summer drinking with beer garden outside overlooking the bay. Inside also very nice, traditional bar with wooden booths, pool table and often live music at weekends.

Local drinking haunt. If you want to mingle with the locals in Oban this is the place to be! Be warned, once they get talking you could be there for the night. There are 2 doors to enter bar - “Gents” area on the right with Darts board and live football, rugby games etc on TV. One not to miss.

Food Scene

Lovely restaurant on railyway pier, specialising in seafood dishes but with great Scottish meat options available also. They run an early evening menu which is great value.

One not to miss! The freshest fish in town, served directly on the pier from this little shack..... With so much choice and with inexpensive prices, you'll likely be here more than once!

Another must visit in Oban! Awarding winning chocolate served from this amazing little cafe/ shop on the Esplanade.. You may have to wait for a table but it will be well worth it for the chance to sample the sweet hot drinks and desserts available. Shop also on site for gifts to take home, which will be hard to resist.
