Aulay's Bar in Argyll & Bute

A true pub pub. My favourite Oban bar.

Lovely old pub with a main bar and a lounge (both with a slightly different vibe,as it should be.) Shows the sports throughout the week with an information board showing what’s upcoming. Friendly service and chatty patrons. Was very happy I stopped in for one on a crawl of the town. Wasn’t on the Tennants on this trip to Scotland which is unusual as I love the stuff and you don’t get it over the border on tap. I was on the Guinness and it was a nice pint in here. Recommended 🍻 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ⚽️

comfy and frendly, best place in Oban

Nice relaxed bar. Friendly service from bar staff. Traditional pub. Jukebox, slot machines and live sports. Dog's welcome.

I don't appreciate being treated like I'm weird just because I don't hold the same drinking preferences as the bar staff. I'll go elsewhere next time I'm in Oban.

Staff and punters were top class and very welcoming,.made our trip from Stirling so much more enjoyable, will definitely be back and back soon 🍺

Friendly bar staff and locals highly recommend 🍺👍

Good old traditional pub. Now serving food. Always pop in here when visiting oban. Friendly place.

Grate food good service very friendly locals most expensive meal £12 cheapest in oben definitely recommend

A knife like it's in the book! Apart from one or two tourists, only locals, very loud and fun. Huge selection of beers, ciders, etc. Definitely worth a visit!

We wanted to visit a real Scottish pub and have a beer after a walk through Oban along the harbor. We spoke briefly to a few Scots about anything and they left a message on our mobile phone for a family greeting in the Netherlands. We didn't eat there. The bartender was friendly as were the other visitors. Nice pub to visit if you are in Oban. Near the harbour. And not expensive at all.

Good little traditional bar. Can be quite busy so we had been lucky to get a Seat in lounge bar bit was a nice pub. Tvs to watch sport

Excellent beer," Had 2 pints " Caledonian Best" ! Excellent food had Scampi and chips

Authentic pub! Great for tasting Oban whiskey in pleasant surroundings.

At first, I was served with half a mug of coffee, but when I asked that it be topped up, the bartender obliged. Food was good and I liked the overall cosiness of the place. If I lived in Oban, I reckon I would make this place my local.

Popped in unexpectedly looking for a bit of lunch. Had a the best bowl of Cullen Skink I've had in years. Really tasty with big chunks of fish and perfectly seasoned. Served with a proper scottish roll and butter. W Totally worth the wee extra wait. Decor is a bit tired but the food is fabulous

Great wee pub would go back again friendly people

A very good and friendly bar and good food and friendly staff 😁

Well known old pub, and cheery barman.

Lovely mix of tourists and locals. Very friendly. Bar staff gave good service. Very dog friendly.

Great local bar with relaxed atmosphere, fine drink and delicious food.at reasonable prices. Loved meeting the locals there. Very friendly bar.

Small bar/lounge and the barman was good at his job.. There were locals.in and friendly..would.recommemd

I normally dont have time as i work out in the sticks. So i thought a pint befor the train. Couldn't be bothered going to Wetherspoons. What can I say Brilliant wee bar clean friendly and better priced. Staff are funny and cheerful 10x that of weatherspoons Will defo be back

Aulay’s Bar was one of our favorite stops in Oban! We visited a total of four times throughout our stay in nearby Connel. Great food for lunch. The Mac and cheese was some of the best I have had. Locals were welcoming and the bartenders were knowledgeable and welcoming as well! Prices were very reasonable.

Visited Last Month during a Trip to Oban. Friendly Staff and Friendly Locals who are always willing to share there knowledge about the Town and Surrounding area . Great Drinks and Beer Selection. As always a great pint of the Big T.

Lovely traditional bar in the centre of Oban with very friendly locals. We spent a couple of very enjoyable evenings there with our dog (Brodie says "Hi"). Would thoroughly recommend.

Great traditional pub, there are two guest rooms for seating. Nice service, you can watch football and there is a nice whiskey selection.

Super friendly staff, nice pub, reasonable prices. Located almost on the coast👌

Went for drinks and met friendly locals, and we talked til the end of the night. Traditional local pub.

Brilliant experience watching the Old Firm match in here. Very nice atmosphere with good people in mixed company.

Fantastic, friendly pub. Great staff, good food. Would recommend if visiting Oban, even just for the day. Locals are nice and chatty too.

Rainy day, who doesn't want to stop 😂We stopped to have a beer and relax a bit. Finally, the weather was right to taste a Cullen skink (fish soup) which was wonderfully good. Our first and indeed a treat, truly a marvel. Warm welcome also so I really recommend Thank you so much

Nice little pub split into two separate venues. Good selection of drinks and comfy seating.

This is a little gem of a pub in Oban Staff are so friendly and a great atmosphere. Unfortunately we were staying at the other end but it is was worth the walk to have a great selection of drinks and a warm and welcoming atmosphere visiting this gem is a must ⭐️ Thank you for your hospitality and an very enjoyable visit to Oban.

Nice pub freindly staff good for sports and food if you want to eat but is always cold even.barmaid had jacket.on come on some heat.please

After traveling to many countries and chating with different people in all of them, this is the first time that I felt a bad feeling. I asked a quick question to the waiter about the best transport to go to Fort William and he seemed offended that I dared to ask something else than just a drink. Maybe he has never seen a Spanish person and was scared. It's important to travel and see world, otherwise you may end up stuck in your little town with a close-minded vision of anything else.

Rude treatment, weird place, strange behaviour by the waiter.

Great pub atmosphere. Chatted up locals and staff and all were agreeable.

Dropped in to catch the football and ended up staying longer and having some food. Lovely wee pub, very welcoming and friendly locals made this a place I will definitely return to.

Great pint and footy on,,,,,perfect

I went in just after lunch for a pint mid week; the bar staff were very friendly, as were the locals. A welcoming clean local bar... had the bonus of Gadhlig signage.

Locals bar were made to feel welcome. Good Guinness and plenty of malt whisky to try. Didn’t try the food but looked nice. Would happily visit again if I was staying longer.

A brilliant little pub always our first stop when visiting Oban.

Best play to watch televised sport in Oban. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and customers.

Good place and a good atmosphere

Came to Oban for a day out this was the best pub by a mile good service and a dynamite pint of tennants

Always come here when we're in Oban, lovely Pub where the locals are super friendly and chat to everyone that comes through the door. An Oban institution 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Clean, great value cooked. Bonus: find alumni who pay generously!

Good pub, seems to have one part for Oban people and another for visitors. We went on a Wednesday night, there was no live music.

What a weekend, some laugh, good beer and duke box was fantastic.Met new friends and knees sire with dancing

Popped in for a swift one. Deceptively busy. Friendly service and nice pint of Tennent's lager. Show sports.

Always call when we are in Oban

Great selection of beer & whisky with a super friendly and knowledgeable staff !

Good pub. Nice people, good atmosphere.

Nice pub, nice authentic atmosphere.

Great Pub in Oban, Scotland. They pour lots of local Scotches and Guinness on tap.

Great we bar great service nice and comfy tv showing football live can't beat that

Always enjoy a drink or two in this pub

Cracking local pub, great service and good range of beers

I spent 4 hours having a pint or two or three of different beers whilst watching England play USA. The best pub I've been to since I have been in Scotland. recommended

Small pub/bar with 2 sides too sit in atmospheric pub

Perfect for a beer in between. There was no food that day.

Very fine food, good different beers, even a Spanish estrella

Nice and cozy pub with live sports broadcasts.

Good honest pub. Food good and not expensive.

Not sure about all of the great reviews. The atmosphere is all that's good here... classic pub feel but that's where it ends. I draw the line when the bartenders don't know how to pour a nitro properly.... it changes the taste of the beer altogether. This is common knowledge so I thought. As I watched them pour several more nobody seemed to care. I guess most people don't really know how a beer is supposed to taste when poured the right way. Very disappointing.

Excellent wee bar.. very friendly:)

Great local pub, good beer and felt comfortable stopping in and enjoying a pint in the lounge.

Great traditional pub with mcewan's

One of the best pubs in Oban, great beer and food, staff were great.

Lovely traditional bar with amazing array of old photos. Good food at reasonable prices.

friendly local pub worth a visit a

Don't know who paid the other reviewers. The staff is absolutely wonderful but the locals are terrible, they despise tourists, probably just the town drunks but you're not welcome here.

The bar staff is the best!! They’re down to earth and friendly towards everyone. Quick service and reasonable prices

Great traditional bar, dog friendly into the bargain. We stopped for a drink and had homemade soup and a roll, proper home made soup it was lovely. Bar woman gave both of our dogs a treat. Will definitely be back, pity you don't do meals at tea time.

Had a great time laughing with the locals!

Small, traditional pub that welcomes dogs and serves tasty, homecooked food at lunchtime. Recommend!

Good nice helpful staff going back today to watch the football.

Cracking pub with good beer especially the export and friendly staff
