Claymore bar in Highland

We arrive at approx. 1730. The pup was busy. The lady behind the bar was very welcoming and accomodating. We thoughly enjoyed our 3 pints. I would recommend.

Nice little pub to enjoy a pint with the locals.

Always a really friendly welcome. Good old fashioned pub vibes and cosy atmosphere

Brilliant pub warm and friendly and good service

Lovely deep bar. The service was great and the beers well served. They don’t have food but let you bring in a take away fish and chips if you ask politely.

Stayed in town for a couple of days and was welcomed like a local at the bar. The drinks were great, but the people really make the place shine. You're doing a disservice to yourself if you don't check this place out when you're around Grantown.

Ehrliches Pub mit guter Auswahl, nettem Personal und fairen Preisen. Hier wird kein Wert auf Schein gelegt, hier treffen sich die Einheimische, hier darf man von außerhalb fish&chips mitbringen. Keinen kümmert, wie du aussiehst, wo du herkommst oder was du anhast, ob der Tisch klebrig ist oder der Fußboden. Schick ist anders, aber so ist es gut!

Nice place to get out of the rain. I wouldn't say there was a great deal of atmosphere in this pub, but I felt that I was interrupting the member of staff from reading a book to get a drink. Yes, it was a nice clean pub, don't think I would rush back here

Brilliant bar...made very very welcome by staff and locals...great wee atmosphere will be going back for definite if up in grantown....

Really good friendly staff and a very good pint

Great friendly service...decent prices and thd fire kept us toasty on a cold and wet day

Kleines typisches Pub in welchem man auch viele Einheimische trifft

When you walk in, you are greeted a roaring fire, the staff are nice and friendly as are the locals. The prices are reasonable. The rear of the bar is spoilt it could be so much more. The toilets are terrible. Worth a visit. I'm not sure what it would be like on a full moon.

Lovely homely and welcoming bar if you're in Granton on Spey don't miss it

A friendly barman. A very decent pint of Best (so I had a second). A warm fire and biscuits for my dog. All round ideal 😁

Friendly pub, dogs welcome. Big screen for watching sport

Great friendly bar with a great atmosphere.

Excellent, friendly pub, great barstaff.

Great wee Pub staff very friendly good beer too

Great 'local' bar . Open fire always burning and good service from staff.

Gezellige locals bar. Leuke zitjes bij de open haard en een pooltafel. Leuk en gezellig barpersoneel (marie) blijft jammer om te zien dat het jongere barpersoneel alleen maar op de telefoon zit

Friendly bar man / owner allowed us to bring in our takeaway whilst watch a football match. Also provided us with cutlery which was very kind. A great selection of drinks, plenty of tv’s to watch sports, pool table and good facilities. Overall a nice pub with welcoming staff and locals.

The barman is a credit to his trade. Although the bar doesn't do meals, we were welcomed to grab some takeaway and eat it there. Great atmosphere drinking with the locals. Loved the whisky. Cheers.

Friendly staff and reasonable price fir beer

We stopped into the Claymore when we had some time to kill before a dinner reservation down the street. It seemed a local team had just arrived before us; the atmosphere was jovial and there seemed to be a mix of local folks and visitors. We had drinks, no food, but enjoyed it quite a bit and would return if we were in the area. The service was welcoming.

Still one of the best pubs in Scotland

Staff are very welcoming smile 😃 Can't do enough for the visitors very comfortable surroundings and has a large beer garden

Lovely friendly staff would definitely go back in on our next trip through the area.

Excellent little pub, good beer and lovely staff

We enjoyed some games and drinks and had a wonderful time

Stayed in craiglynne hotel but was in the claymore every night 5 days great pub and great hospitality Steve from Liverpool

Gezellige pub. Ze hebben hier Belgisch bier, Stella Artois. Maar het lokale bier was even lekker.

Good and well kept beer, served with friendly service. Nice traditional pub and the local clientele were friendly and welcoming too. Lower level to rear of bar has pool table and darts but also a good seating area. There's a small secluded beer garden to the rear of the pub, when the weather behaves. All in all a very pleasant place for a few beers, on your own or with friends.

Good bar. Good drink and good old banter

Yvonne and her whole family were friendly and all the locals and their dogs were fantastic. Bring treats for the dogs and they’ll be your best friend! Share a pint and say hello and watch some football or snooker! We will definitely come back to visit!

What you might call an old man's pub. Deceptively spacious on the inside compared to the view from the street. Barman was friendly, the prices were reasonable and the ambience was pleasant. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea but me and my wife liked it.

Great bar worth a really good selection of drinks and friendly staff.

Always assured of a warm welcome

A lovely little pub, found the price of the drinks to be a bit on the higher side but still a good experience.

Very hatd working staff, really nice manner, gave out free left over sandwiches from football team, great wee pub

Great pub ,was up for the night and loved the place ,all friendly.

Great pub, great Craic. Good for locals and visitors/tourists. Genuine, honest, friendly banter and chat. Lots of TV screens for various sporting events. Pool table, darts board.

Great pub friendly and welcoming highly recommend

Great we local bar nice pint great service

Visited for an afternoon, great atmosphere, Yvonne was a great barmaid, made us most welcome. Spent a relaxing afternoon with a few drinks and a couple games of pool. Would definitely visit again anytime we are back in granton on spey

Absolutely fantastic time, we stayed for a Christmas break in be local hotel and went to the local pub every day and was made feel welcome from walking in. We are 61 year old and every one made us feel welcome from walking in the staff, locals and even the 20 year olds. Would hi go highly recommend a visit, they made our holiday. Even the German shepherd. Well worth a visit.

Lovely place, very welcoming and cosy fires

A warm welcome from bar staff and roaring open fire, whiskey served in lovely glass. Visited begining of December with 3 friends, very enjoyable hour or so.

The earlier review of the grunt is only true. A Saturday night a few weeks back and this place was full of locals, the language comprised only of what would be in a dictionary of slang, along with every word of profanity that was ever said from Glasgow to Guantanamo, some of those words I will not forget, some I had never knew existed. I can only imagine this is a bar for select locals and run by such, the beer was poor too and the service, lets call it service with a grunt. Went in there once, one of those in our trio was mortified, never again. Visitors to the fine town of Grantown on Spey, I urge you to avoid!

What a lovely welcome. We called in for a quick couple of drinks. No food but we were invited to eat our own food un the pub. The landlady's daughter was very friendly and chatty, as were the locals who were drinking. It us great to be made welcome when you are new to a place. Thanks

Nice wee pub, the lassie behind the bar was very nice. She gave me a wee bowl of soup and gave the dog a couple of treats as well (extra points for a good pint of Guinness)

Nice friendly atmosphere. Good mix of ages.

Nice pint, friendly service and atmosphere

Lovely welcoming dog friendly pub, staff and locals very friendly and my dog got plenty of attention and biscuits what more can you want!🐕

Nice pub with pool table and TV for sport etc. A decent pub. Nothing fancy.

Lovely pub, great welcome from staff and locals. Very helpful.

Cracking traditional bar, no fuss no nonsense just good beer and good craic.

Best Bar in grantown very nice stuff very friendly

Great pub staff very nice .had good time

Great pub and it is dog friendly. Staff were nice

Friendly,,great pint of tenants,great prices, would definitely recommend if in Granton on spey

Great wee pub .very welcoming and dog friendly..definitely a must for a pint or two when visiting Grantown on Spey.

Great location. Friendly staff and clientele

Avoid, unless you enjoy the company of very unpleasant, noisy and antisocial people. One for locals only, it would seem.

An excellent Bar, friendly and helpful bar staff, also has a games room part with large TVs ideal for watching sports, and small beer garden at the back.

Great bar full of character friendly locals good prices

Excellent staff and a great atmosphere. I will be going back before I go home.

Friendly local bar, good beer and selection of whiskey.

A really nice friendly local. I liked the tables which had been made from barrels

We visited the Claymore when the heavens opened and we thought we should shelter.. Who needs excuses. The bar staff were very warm, welcoming and friendly and we enjoyed our deinks with several local worthies who told us all about the walks along the River Spey which we did the following day when it was drier.

Great fun pub with very cheerful staff. A credit to the hospitaly industry.

Friendly, helpful staff and atmosphere. With every round of drinks our dog got treats from barmaid, he loved this pub!

After walking 8 miles we were in need of a good pint!!! We the only thing i can say was it was dog friendly! Beer was not good which we were surprised as Scotland brew wonderful beer. And we had a grunt not a warm welcome, lacked atmosphere i think only to us. so we drank up quickly and walked back home.

Went for a drink with my daughter today ..lovley friendly place..spotless ..made us feel at ease ..I'd recommend to try out this bar

Nice clean bar with good service and excellent value for money.

Great pub, great beer and really friendly atmosphere.

Nice little bar with a good atmosphere

Great bar,all done up after shutdown,good social distancing in place, great ale (IPA) and great staff, just the job after an unlucky day on the Spey!

Enjoyed a few drinks in this pub several times, a mixture of locals who were very friendly with us as were all the bar staff. The pub adheres to all the current COVID-19 requirements.

Excellent pub nice interior and friendly atmosphere, decent prices and a roaring log fire.

Great wee pub, very warm on a cold day when I visited, friendly staff and good selection of beer's, serve good coffee well worth a visit if in the area.

Had a decent time there as is one of the only “pubs“ in grantown (although other clubs and hotel bars are good) Then spent £6.40 on a double spirit and mixer. I had no option but to return the drink to the bar as the mixer turned the drink into a tepid, flat liquid, certainly not worthy of the money I had spent on it . The bar staff agreed, but had to turn to the manageress for concent to replace it.... here’s the 2 star. Panic is not the word! Another was pored, but straight into the same flat mixer i had been asked to try and said was flat. When I asked to pay the difference for another spirit with a different mixer ... I was told no, you’ll have to buy that drink (awful as it was at £6.40) plus another £7+ for a new one.... not professional or even logical ... just panic over losing 50ml of cheap spirit. Then I was called at the bar to another customer “there’s always one”? Rude and far from professional . Having worked in bars for years myself and just being a normal customer .. not great .

lovely wee traditional pub with coal fire. also dog friendly. Refurbished November/December 2019 improving a great wee pub.

Very friendly local pub where you'll be made welcome by both staff and regulars. Fantastic open fire to warm you up with your drink. Nothing fancy but it's original and where the locals go. Good prices.

Today 30th October really cold outside, inside roaring fire. Very freindly, like walking into the past. Historic pub. Visit.

Great hospitality from the staff. I only wish I lived nearer.

We jumped in here for a quick drink as we were passing through. The bar man was so lovely and welcoming.

Great pub, friendly locals, good area in the back for a game of pool and darts

Full of locals. Just like Starwars
