Good selection of beers, but as said by previous posters, very pricey with it.
The food was stylishly minimalist, quite a limited menu choice and even more overpriced than the beer.
The atmosphere was nice, but kind of false, its like they are trying so hard for the 'traditional' pub look that its gone too far.

Too expensive for the highlands. London prices!!

Decent pub, decent beer - just right for a post-Cairngorm refresher. Had a pint of Cairngorm Trade Winds - one of my favourites and it went down a treat! Worth seeking out.

Good little pub just outside of the not-too-pretty resort of Aviemore. The beers were in very good nick - there was Cairngorm Witches Cauldron, Deuchars IPA and a waaaaaay too-sweet cider, but it's good to see a real cider on in any bar in Scotland. The food was good and very welcome after a hard day's drive across the passes to get to Aviemore and the nearby Rothiemurchus campsite. Would definitely recommend this pub if in the area. Just get there early to guarantee getting a place to sit.

Had two handpump ales on the go (Cairngorm - Red Ale and Deuchars IPA) and 1 handpump dispensing cider - other ales available in bottles at a hefty �3.60 if I remember correctly! Food looked good, but as noted before perhaps a little rich for some palletes...

Good pub with well kept beer. The food is very good but the menu is more like a restaurant rather than traditional pub grub
|
Reasonable choice of beers, and the food was above average pub food, served efficiently. It did seem to get quite crowded at times, so may be worth booking ahead if eating.
Seems to be about the best place in Aviemore, and certainly a step up from the Winking Owl

Great little pub in a not so great town (you wouldn't go to Aviemore for the architecture but the scenery is amazing). Very handy for the bunk house. Had Deuchars, 80 shilling and a Brains beer when I was ion at the weekend, all on good form. Nice place for a quiet afternoon drink. Friendly staff. Food looked very nice. Think they've a penchant for Gaelic music so weekend nights could get quite lively.

Can't understand how anyone could compare this exceptional pub with the Winking Owl - better beer choice and much better food!

Not to my taste I'm afraid. Expensive food and expensive beer. Much prefer the Winking Owl on the main street (not listed here for some reason) better food and cheaper beer.

Food is exceptional and good beer too. Well worth a visit, pricey but you get what you pay for

Good choice of beers. Always Deuchars IPA and Caledonian 80 plus a couple of guest beers (Usually from Cairngorm brewery). First class food. Open fire. A great place to be.
