The Fuaran Bar, Altandhu
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)
