As an early evening pub user I found this pub perfect for my requirements. Draught bitter available, Deuchars IPA, in a part of the country where this is not often seen. Very friendly welcome and efficient service from all staff I dealt with. Food excellent and good value, haddock and chips a must-try. For those that want it there is noise available Fri to Sun till 2am, DJ or live band.

first pub i went in oban.central bar with all round seating.very expensive £3-50 a pint for a 4.2 vol belhaven cask beer

Advertises "Local cask ales always available" but on my visit at end of June they only had the ubiquitous (and non-local) Deuchars, in average condition. Definitely food-oriented, lots of families with kids etc. The fact that this is in the GBG is a sad reflection on the general standard of beer (and pubs) in this part of Scotland.

Struck me as very much a food pub but we were on our way to the Indian along the road. Had a pint of Oban Bay stout that I didn't enjoy very much. The place was a bit gloomy and the staff were efficient but not particularly friendly. There are worse places in Oban and unfortunately few better.

This fairly modern establishment has a large central bar serving good quality Deuchars IPA along with a local Oban Bay stout also on handpump. As mentioned elsewhere the beer is quite expensive at �3.20 a pint but at least it's a pub in Oban serving real ale. There's a reasonable range of food available at a reasonable price.

Waaaay to pricey. A very average pint of Deuchars for �3.00 and �1.55 for a half of lime & soda.
Certainly not the only pub in Oban that overcharges, but its a drab place to go with it.

Late comment from August visit. �6.20 for 4 halves of Deuchers made me go to the bar to query price for this 3.8% beer. I was told �2.90 a pint and �1.55 a half. That is one big mark up for half pint drinkers!!!
Also had a Fyne beer. Nothing wrong with quality but a rip off on pricing.

called on a recent visit, Dec 07.
It looked interesting, as it appeared on the taste-of-scotland.com website as offering home made food, and also I think in the camra good beer guide.
***
The place is not large but quite attractive, done in a traditional style. seems to be one main room, with central oval bar that seems to be a characteristic of older scottish pubs. Off the sea front in the main town area.
we only stayed for a drink and look round. 2 cask ales on offer. Deuchars was nice but seemed a bit on the expensive side compared to others in the town.
would like to call again and try the food.
