| A popular street corner pub opposite the terminal. Although not a virtual restaurant like many pubs, it is clear that food dominates with all tables being laid up with menus and cruet, even very low ones which personally I would not want to have eaten at. Signs outside advertised the various accolades that the pub has received, such as Seafood Pub of the Year. Outside there�s a decent semi-covered seating area, with great views across the loch. Inside there are dual aspect windows to make the most of the outlook, reclaimed wooden flooring, a wood panelled bar and plenty of seating. There were two small TV�s mounted up in the corner and a larger plasma at one end � although the sound was off they were displaying subtitles so you could easily follow the Saturday night quiz show. I�m not entirely convinced by this seemingly Scottish obsession with watching TV in every pub. At the rear was a brick built fire place with a large wood burning stove. The menu offered a good choice of pub grub dishes, with various sections such as jacket potatoes, burgers, etc. and a decent selection of tapas dishes as well as a Shellfish Platter (for two) at �75! A specials board listed a further eight fish dishes. The only real ale on tap was An Tealloch Ale, although there was keg stuff from Tennants and Belhaven. The solitary cider was Strongbow, unfortunately. There were however getting on for a hundred different whiskies, if that�s your thing. Blackthorn - 9 Jul 2011 23:14 |
| The Seaforth has now added a roofed area to the patio. Not only is this good for smokers in the evenings who don't want to stand in the rain, but also offers a degree of protection from the feared "midgies" in the summer. Bit less music these days but still lively on weekends and good selection of food - including some new bar tapas. Klondyker - 22 Jan 2008 11:26 |
| Busy pub near the harbour. Real ale is fine (it was just An Teallach when we visited, although Isle of Skye is advertised). Very pleased with the food and bar service. Comprehensive range of single malts to round things off. fromedrinker - 21 Jun 2007 12:29 |
| Food in the Seaforth is good but don't be fooled - virtually all of the seafood that they use is frozen -nothing comes from the local pier. It's still good though. I had steak pie (lovely) and also tried the haggis (huge!-you get a whole one). Foreign seasonal staff are nice and friendly but local staff not so!. Good laugh at the weekend when disco/karaoke on but some dodgy bands. Also some good entertainment during the week - guy with a guitar (cant remember his name) singing covers - good stuff! nessshell - 28 Apr 2005 10:46 |
| Best pub and food stop in Ullapool. Over looks Ullapool harbour where most of the seafood available is landed. Fish and Chip takeaway winner 2004 and best Scottish music venue runner up a couple of years running. Great (though in the Summer quite busy) place. Klondyker - 1 Mar 2005 15:06 |
