| Beautiful part of the country, the journey is more edifying than the arrival. No handpumps, usual selection of fizz on tap, Cairngorm Tradewinds and various An Teallach offerings in bottles. Friendly barman explained that they have tried cask ales but were unable to shift enough to keep in good condition. Fair enough but why keep these beers alongside the lagers & ciders in a glass fronted fridge? Far too cold for such product. �3.85 per 500ml bottle. Lupulus - 30 Aug 2012 12:19 |
| What a find! In out-of-the-way Altandhu on the Achiltibuie peninsula there is this great little pub. The interior is dark and atmospheric, with lots of curiosities on the walls. The owner is friendly and chatty. She is a member of the family that have been running this pub for ages. She is now - February 2011 - providing a campsite down to the sea across the road from the pub. And the beer is good! There's nothing this good for 45 minutes in any direction. rolandsj - 4 Feb 2011 21:54 |

| Gavmel, I'm sorry to read that the Fuaran bar didn't live up to your preconceived idea of what a Wester Ross bar should be like. Maybe the owners should employ you as a stylist so you can mould it into the Brigadoon-style fantasy you doubtless crave. I like the place. It's not the best bar in the world but I've always found the food good, the beer fine, the staff very friendly, once you get talking to them - what you don't get is the faux-bubbly, gushing corporate b.s. you get in other places. Maybe this is because it's a REAL pub, run by REAL people who possibly have days when (like most of us) they're bored stiff and hate their job. As for your assertion that the entire area is "spoilt" by the bar, you are clearly utterly deluded - if they plonked a McDonalds and a Starbucks in the Hydroponicum it wouldn't totally ruin the Coigach peninsula would it? And re the presence of a pool table and satellite TV in a bar..sheesh, whatever next..dominos? (pun intended) patanegra - 2 Aug 2009 19:30 |
