Jackos bar diner in Highland

Great atmosphere and sublime food, Chicken curry was amazing. Really friendly staff and customers, must go to if in Nairn.

Fantastic find after a long walk along the beach. Food was delicious and staff were both welcoming and attentive. Even better is the dog was welcome too. Would highly recommend and we will be back if ever up in Nairn.

Essen eher Pubfood, lecker und grosse Portionen. An der Bar vielw Draftbiere. Preise ok. Bedienung freundlich. Sportfernseher läuft lärmlos.

Excellent service and excellent food top quality Lovely people that went above and beyond for a very special occasion x

This is a friendly place for humans and dogs . We had the Sunday roast while watching the football . It came in two sizes . The beef was so soft really recommend it . The prices are good Service is great .

Always a Fantastic Experience . Food Excellent, Service Excellent , Atmosphere Excellent . Value for money , and just Fab place to visit .

Nous sortions du château de Cawdor et cherchions un pub pour déjeuner, à 15 min se trouve donc la ville de Nairn et le Jackos pub. Nous sommes arrivés à 14h et avons été super bien accueillis. Le serveur nous a adressé quelques mots en français, trop sympa ! Le repas était super bon (fish and chips accompagné de petits pois, c'est cool ! Hot dog pour notre fille de 6 ans qui s'est régalée). Bonne bière stout. Bonne ambiance ! Addition plus que correcte. Je recommande.

I visited Jackos with my 2 sisters the bar staff were very friendly and helpful we had steak dirty fries, curry & sticky chilli chicken followed by delicious banoffee pie & stick toffee pudding. The wait staff went out of their way to accommodate my fussy sister to replace ice cream with custard whi h wasn't even on the menu, definitely will visit here again 😀

We parked at the harbour and popped in on spec on a busy Saturday afternoon and we were made welcome and, with a short wait, a table was found. The staff were lovely. We had a tasty meal of small fish and chips and veggie curry half n half. Well worth a visit, and if you like sport, they have a pool table and big screens showing sky sports.

Fantastic place to go for a family dinner. Food Excellent, Big portions , very well priced . Staff were very efficient and pleasant. Good vibe and a very enjoyable experience. Will go again many times as it’s that good .

Popular place. We went with our 4yr old granddaughter. The waitress was delightful and chatty. The food was delicious with plentiful portions. I thought it was a wee tad expensive, but Nairn is a popular tourist spot and the food was fantastic. 👍👍

Visited here for a quick bit. Defo worth a visit. -Staff very friendly. -Food came quickly and was nice. -Large portion. -Music

We had a fabulous experience tonight. Swift & friendly service, great menu choices & very reasonably priced. The chicken curry was AMAZING. Great atmosphere too, with a gentle buzz around us. Will definitely be back soon.

Was here a few times with my family over this last weekend, service was amazing, really relaxed in the day with a great atmosphere in the evening. The host is super friendly, even let me charge in my vape at the bar. Music seemed to be free and was really good. If I was to pick fault I'd say the food is a little expensive but it is really good, only there for the weekend so didn't mind paying but bit pricey for what it is. Do recommend it though, locals were great.

Great wee bar, love(think her name was Katie) we were staying in the nearby caravan park. Locals were polite and welcoming as well. Defo worth a vist.

Great place . Friendly and welcoming , dog was happy , food was fantastic we have been a few times over the week . Would recommend this place highly .

The service to complete strangers was above and beyond. The barmaid/server was a total sweetheart and couldn't do enough for us, even mopping up my spilled red wine from my coat and bag first, then the table and floor when hubby leant heavily on the table and spilled it. The chef was due to leave early but said he would stay on to do our food and did a lovely job. Such a lovely pub and lovely staff

We had lunch with our dog, at Jackos while on holiday in Lossiemouth. Both food and service were excellent. I had fish and chips with a side of coleslaw and onion rings (probably the best onion rings I have had, to date - they wee huge and had a lovely sweet taste). The fish and chips were excellent, as was the coleslaw. My partner had mac cheese, and was well impressed too. As a bonus, Jackos is dog-friendly! Would recommend.

This is a dog friendly pub that serves excellent meals & any tipple you fancy. Staff are friendly & helpful.

A super bar and diner.. food really fresh and delicious, loads of choice to drink and eat.. gin and malt deals of the month, screens for sport if you want, pool table, darts. Very family and pet friendly and Steph was lovely, she's a real asset to this business.

Welcoming atmosphere. Friendly and quick service. Hot and tasty food. Would recommend and return again. Thank you

The food here is unbelievable cooked freshly by the very talented chef Steve. So tasty, fresh and nothing is any trouble. Served by the love Ryan and Kate. Such a friendly special place. Home from home xxxxxx

We attended this evening for a drink and dinner. There was 4 adults and 2 children’s. The food was amazing! Tasted very fresh. Service was second to none. Good range of food options. We will defo be going again!

Visited Jackos during my visit to Nairn with the family, Fantastic food, friendly staff, would definitely return next time I'm visiting Nairn

Service and food the way it should be. Very pleasant...and food was excellent. Would definitely recommend and hopefully be back .

Welcoming family pub, Nothing was a problem service and food were amazing would definitely recommend you visit you will not be disappointed 😊

We were recommended the pub/restaurant by numerous people while we were staying in nairn so we booked a table in advance.On arrival we were seated and given menus however it took quite a while to be served. I ordered a gin but it came in a really small glass and not a gin glass like expected in most pubs.We ordered our meals and in fairness the food was great and would have scored 4 out if 5 but the service in here let it down. We couldn't get there attention and they didn't come back near. We tried to order more drinks but was near on impossible. The kids meals came with deserts and I asked if my youngest could have a mini portion of donuts instead if the choices given. The waitress went to check and came back and said no. So I said that's fine just go for the waffles same as my other daughter. However when deserts were served her waffle didn't appear and when I said about it the waitress said , you didn't want one???? I have no idea how she could have mistaken this but eventually we got another waffle. Again no one came near so we paid the bill and left. Such a pity as food was magic but we wouldn't recommend.

Visited this pub on our last night in Nairn after reading good reviews. Was very disappointed as the pub lacked atmosphere and was a bit dark. Fish and chips were quite tasty although a bit greasy.

This venue totally lacked any atmosphere. We had not even got our coats off, and seated before we were asked what we wanted to drink. Might have been nice to get relaxed first. I asked what ales they had, and reeled off lagers ? Very poor choice of drinks, wine tasted like it had been open for days. No attempt by the staff to make any conversation, even though it was extremely quiet, about 10 people in total. A very disappointing visit indeed, and a poor show for tourists visiting the town.

Found Jacko's purely by chance. What an absolute find!!!! Cannot recommend this wee place enough. First class service even under pressure from busy clientele. Home cooked food to die for, absolutely wonderful wee place and a must for a visit, and all dogs welcome on a leash.

Jackos was recommended - certainly not disappointed, even though it was only for a drink. Friendly barstaff, nice atmosphere.

I'm not a sweet eater never have a sweet after a meal but today was tempted to try these doughnut things ....I was amazed they are the best sweet I have ever tasted in my life ..epic is the only word I can use to describe them ,throw that in with excellent customer service given the challenging times then I cant recommend this pub enough for friendly proper feel at home public house

What a meal!!! Stunning food from a very talented chef, excellent service from very professional friendly staff. Thanks for an amazing meal. Top pub. If uve not been u must go xxx

We visited Nairn for a week in August 2020 as a family of 8. We had done a little research online before coming and to be honest I didn’t have high expectations for Jacko’s. I couldn’t of been more wrong - it turned out to be our favourite place to visit!Jason the owner was the perfect host and sat us at the same large table when we popped in for drinks. We had prebooked in for food the first part of the week but decided to book for food when we had space. We were a little unsure as the menu doesn’t look that exciting however it was our favourite meal of the whole week and we’d ate at some very expensive places. Before we’d booked for food we mentioned in conversation how we’d not seen Haggis anywhere on the menu, the owner got the chef out to talk to us and said he’d cook some for us even though it wasn’t on the menu and ordered it in especially!! It was absolutely delicious and so reasonable - the men had burgers throughout the week at double the price in other restaurants but rated Jacko’s burger the best by far! Brilliant pub and great service - if ever we were to be in Nairn again it would be the first place we would return too! Thankyou To Jason and his team x

My family of 3 and I had great lunch Really nice 2 x fish and chips with burger, beef tacos. Really well cooked, well seasoned and quickly served, waited about 20 min! Very friendly staff too!

Top quality takeout (post covid) with a wide range of food available, to satisfy everyone in the family. Particularly recommend the tacos and the crispy chicken dish.

Lovely friendly place. Staff are very welcoming. The food is great. I would highly recommend. Kids meals were very good value. Back after 12 months away (due to distance and coronavirus). Now living local will visit more often. Nothing has changed in the last 12 months. Still friendly and good value for money and great food

Went to Nairn for the day from Findhorn. Loved the place and ate lunch at Jacko's bar! Was soooo good we returned twice within a couple of days just to eat at Jacko's again as we were really impressed. Cant wait to return

Found Jackos bar last year war really impressed then. We were back in Nairn last weekend and they have a new menu. Which is out of this world. Excellent meals, great price, great portions. The staff are top notch. Efficient polite friendly and welcoming. Even if you just stop off there your made to feel like one of the family. Chatting with the regulars you are made very welcome. Jason the owner is one of the nicest people you could meet. When we were there it was a lady's birthday and who should appear but the Town Crier in full Highlands dress. Got everyone singing Happ birthday. So if your in Nairn you just have to visit Jackos. Believe me you won't be disappointed.

lovely bar staff and owner jason been there 5 times in the last 2 year always very friendly good beer and food will b back again this year

Good pub food menu. Well stocked bar. Lots of locals and tourists in the bar. Coal fire on a cold winters day. Dog friendly. Live music on a weekend.

My family and I visited Scotland for 10 days in October 2019. We were visiting from the states. Upon our arrival we were hungry and went to Jacko's Bar for dinner. It was Monday and they weren't serving food because the chef had the night off. Jenni, who was working, was so helpful. She called and ordered Chinese food for us to be delivered to the bar while we waited. I told her we'd be back for dinner. Jenni suggested when we came back to try the Balmoral Chicken that was stuffed with haggis. We then talked about black pudding which was unknown to us.We came back on Wednesday evening and we all had dinner. I had Balmoral Chicken, which was really good! We met Joanne and Russ. Not only did they take extra good care of us but they sent us home with 5 slices of black pudding to try. This was so sweet of them. I tagged them in a post on Facebook showing pictures of my children's reactions to trying black pudding, which was not a hit. It's definitely an acquired taste :)We left Nairn for a number of days but would be back for our last night in Scotland. Jacko's asked through Facebook if we'd be coming back. Well we did and they treated us like old friends. We all agreed that Nairn felt the most like home to us and I believe Jacko's had a part in this.Great place, great food and very friendly, welcoming staff.

This had a real pub feel about it. A diverse group of customers enjoying themselves, Beer was good and staff very friendly and professional. Food was standard pub food and decent for the price.

Smashing wee pub with reasonably priced but really tasty food. Staff very friendly and efficient. Well worth a wee visit!

We had drinks here most nights while staying in Nairn. The staff were friendly. We ate here once and it was lovely! We had the steak dinner and a pudding. My partner mentioned the meal four times the next day and how much he enjoyed it!

Party of four tourists, we intended to walk to another pub in Nairn but Jackos was closer and looked nice.Staff were very friendly and welcoming and the menu looked extensive and interesting.Couldn't fault the bar service or the drinks but, when the food turned up:The prawn cocktails were so OFF that nessie could smell them in her loch. To be fair, the kitchen replaced them and did not charge but I'm certain we would have been ill if we ate them. Perhaps the chef had a cold and couldn't smell properly. Either that or he should be ashamed.Cullen skink soup was lovely.House curries were poor, typical packet dry sauce mix with the cooked meat/onions/mushrooms just stirred in. (I always break my rule of never having a pub curry!)Rest of the meals OK.We were tourists (west country and south wales) and certainly expected a higher standard. Interestingly, does scotland have a hygiene rating scheme like the rest of the country? Such a scheme may raise the standards at pubs like this.

Warm and welcoming bar diner.Varied menu of mouth watering options, kids menu also available, specials board or Sunday Roast option. Extensive drinks choices of wines beers lagers and spirits. Free Wi-fi with a relaxed unhurried atmosphere. Meals were served promptly and to perfection, portion size left a little room for deserts, and would highly recommend the Raspberry Crachan. Sky Sports on the TVs but volume kept to a reasonable level considering not everyone is there for the football. The waitress supervisor was always attentive and Made sure we were never waiting or wanting. Would definitely recommend and will also book again next time in Nairn.

Beaucoup de monde et pas assez de personnel! Nous avons attendu une bonne heure pour des plats qui étaient pourtant proposés en spécial de la journée.

My husband and I called in with our dog for food and drinks and had a fantastic meal. Staff are very friendly and looked after us well, our dog was given a bowl of water, dog treats and a dog bed. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Nairn!

very busy bar with good service and a real friendly atmosphere. Good well priced meals and dogs are welcome.

The food is always wonderful here. We have been to grill night on a Friday for the last 3 out of 5 weeks and I cannot fault it. The steak is cooked perfectly and the staff are fabulous.

Jacko's became our local while on our 2 week holiday's. The staff were all very friendly & welcoming & the owner Jason was always onhand with local information about Nairn & promoted other restaurants to visit, which was very helpful. The food in Jacko's is very tasty & very reasonably priced, which is why on some nights it gets quite busy. There is a good selection of ales & lagers on tap as well as the gins & malt whiskey. Jacko's is a great place for all, including your dogs.

Lovely friendly place. Staff are very welcoming. The food is great. I would highly recommend. Kids meals were very good value

We had a lovely visit, we had a yummy starter as still full from lunch, the food, drinks and staff were all lovely. Dogs can even go there, which is great.

Both me and my husband had the fish and chips. Absolutely delicious , very friendly staff too. Very nice pub ,we're here for 2 weeks hols, so will definitely be coming back. Carole and Keith Picken from Hull.

Called here last week while up on holiday and really wish it was nearer so we could go more often!

We called and booked a table for 6 adults and 3 kids. They had a nice table ready for us on arrival. Warm welcome. Crayons and paper for the kids. Speedy order take and food arrival. Everyone really enjoyed their meal. Clean plates all round. Would definitely recommend Jacko's

This bar/restaurant was busy and had a good vibe and that was before the DJ came on later. The food and service was very good and the stovies gets a special mention.

I took my children down and will be returning. Food was delicious. I offered the chicken fajhitas and except from not really much chicken.. it was so tasty! Kids loved there food.. proper highchairs would be a bonus but apart from that honestly food was lovely!

We stopped in past here on a Sunday lunch as they are dog friendly. We had a selection off the menu all cooked lovely and plenty off it. Bar was friendly and the staff were all happy to help. Good stopover when out walking the dog.

Found this fab bar and eatery by accident and was I glad I did! Along with my partner and two friends we had a great time. The staff were really on the ball, the place was a joy to be in, excellent food plenty of it at very reasonable prices. Great selection of drinks. Would highly recommend if your ever in Nairn , it’s located in Harbour Street.

Visited here recently nice staff and service. Food average no complaints. Altho families welcome it is a local pub and the bar was busy with the football the language was a bit close to the bone !!! Would come back with adults.

We visited Jackos recently and had a wonderful meal.... We all had the fresh fish, done, I may add to perfection.... No frozen chips here, they were homemade....lovely!!!! We were served by the young waiter who was professional and very friendly.... The order came really quickly,

Surprisingly busy when popped in for a pint whilst awaiting very good al raj curry. On uninviting dark harbour road this place was full and very friendly with dogs and kids in buggies! Bright inside and with disco unit set up I suspect this is a local favourite. Multiple bright TV screens but the only real ale was off so taps for whooha the local kinloss brewery beer empty and this loses it a star as otherwise a definate 4.

Would not use this bar again.. No Bellhaven even when they have a Bellhaven Sign.... So.... Not for Us

Went for a lunchtime pint and meal to catch up with the family. We had the steak pie & chips. Steak was quite good and the gravy was delicious, although the meat was a little fatty. The pastry top was rather disappointing - it was so dry & flaky as to be impossible to cut or get on your fork. I had to resort to mixing it with the gravy in order to eat it. The carrots and collie were a bit too under cooked for my liking. The chips were also not great - a bit soggy... i'm sure they've never seen any hot oil.

On Holiday visiting family and returned to Jackos for food,drinks and entertainment. Larger menu of a fine selection of excellent food to be had. This place has brilliant , customer friendly staff, wide range of drinks to offer and the jukebox is a Pandora's box. They are now displaying a local photographers work which not only promotes the photographer, but also the local area and the local community 10/10 !!

Unscheduled visit at lunch time today. (15/01/2019) with wife and dog (a border collie). we were all made welcome and chose our table. We both ordered battered fish and chips which quickly arrived with home made tartar sauce. Delicious. The dog was also given a water bowl and a couple of nibbles. Highly recommended.

Great little local that welcomes the many tourists that Nairn gets it has a great atmosphere as your welcomed as you enter to the roaring log fire and the smell of good food good freindly staff great choice of drinks and good menu with daily specials over all very clean and welcoming would recommend

Great Little Pub/Diner, Family Friendly, Great for Watching Sports. Menu nicely priced not expensive and value for money. Roast Dinner on Sundays £8.95 and very nice too. They also have Steak nights etc which ive heard are rather good. When me and my Family are back in Nairn ill make a point of coming back.

4 of us went to Jackos on a monday night and enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The owner stopped by our table to ensure we able to get on to their wifi. The food arrived hot and Delicious. I had the house made curry. it was the recommendation of our server. It was very tasty and good sized portions. I understand the owner is fairly new and he's doing it right.

On holiday with my partner to Nairn and meet friends. My partner has been to Jackos many times and really enjoyed it so wanted me to try it. Fab wee place. Food excellent and reasonable. Caters for all including kids.

we were on holiday in Nairn and had two friends coming over who live in Auchnarrow. so there were 5 of us and our dog we were looking for somewhere local to eat and Jacos was right on our door step. and allowed dogs in as well always a bonus as far as im concerned. the manager was welcomeing and all the staff really friendly. we sat and down and drinks were delivered in a friendly manner when our meals came. they was more then enough on our -plates and really well cooked. and even though they had someone coming to our table at 5pm we were not hurried at all.. the whole experience was really good and if and when i visit Narins again which i hope to il definately be going into Jacos again for a meal.

Nice wee bar, good prices, friendly staff, we never ate here only had a couple of beers but the food looked great, good use of mirrors in the bar to make it look bigger than it is. We had a lovely booth.

Visited on a Friday night for a couple of drinks. Very friendly helpful bar staff, good selection of drinks available at a reasonable price. Nice local pub.

Came in for food having had a decent meal there a few days before hand. We sat down and quickly decided to leave. I know the new owners are trying to make a go of it. But Jesus! Will you turn the jukebox down. It's way too loud. You'll drive customers away!

went for a meal at jackos nairn with a friend on sat night 15 sept new menu steak and ale pie with fresh veg lovely friend had new york chichen bbq sauce best sauce ever first class meal will be back and back again dont just take my word for it try jackos your self your in for a treat the staff is very good and very helpful one of the best menus in nairn

This is my usual pub if I decide to meet up with friends for casual drinks or food.

Nairn is a lovely small town. Jackos is the best bar, albeit the only one we’ve been in. Friendly, locals having a post work pint, juke box, decent beer, dart board, whisky menu (obvs), trad pub food of a decent quality. A proper pub and a top place to spend an evening.

Hubby and i stumbled across this place today in rain. Great pints /prices... Lovely friendly owner. Clean building to which we'd return and recommend 👌

Jackos is a fantastic pub and restaurant in Nairn! The service was outstanding with very attentive staff who coukdn't do enough for us. Food was delicious and the menu had lots of different choices. Great Karaoke too. Will definitely be back on our next visit from Glasgow to Nairn. 10 out of 10!! Carol, Lesley and Alice

Went for a family meal, 6 of us, absolutly great! Just happened to be steak night too, bonus! So the daily specials board was wasted on us. 3 sirloins cooked to how we preferred at a generous £9.99 each. I have to say, the peppercorn sauce was one of the best I have ever had. The Mrs had fish and chips which looked just as good as the steak. The children had the Kids Chicken Nuggets with chips and the opted for beans. We all cleared the lot, even the children, and they can be particularly fussy with food, but their plates too were clean. Most opted for Hot Fudge Cake for dessert, I had vanilla ice cream and cream, yummy. One of us had apple pie and custard. Again clean plates! A lovely meal and we would definitely return. I do believe they are in the process of having a menu update, even more reason to return. All in all, 6 very good meals and desserts with no faults. Staff were very pleasant and the waiting time next to none. Thank you :)

I ate here for the second time last night and it was excellent again. The food is fantastic, the wine is good and the service is wonderful. I live about a fifteen minute walk away and only recently moved to the area, I will definitely be back - soon!

Came across this place, tucked away amongst the fisherman’s houses near the Harbour. Very friendly staff, food was excellent and at reasonable prices. If I’m ever back in this neck of the woods I will recently come again

After getting married my family and friends had an amazing time! Great service and staff were lovely and the owner made sure we had a great time, it's dog friendly so the family dog could sit with us while we had our food, we are glad to be the first wedding they have hosted and will be back again.

Good bar menu, food quality adequate for a pub, dog friendly which is a bonus and really good service from the bar staff. Recommend for a family bite to eat .

On Holiday in Nairn and came across Jacko's en-route to the beach and harbour and we have been coming here now for the 10 days of our stay. Cracking staff who are warm friendly and very welcoming who give fantastic customer service. Small menu but good quality food . Fine selection of drinks on offer and the Juke box is immense . Will definitely be coming back and certainly would recommend.

After a lovely day at the beach, my friend and I were struggling to find somewhere to eat as there’s not many places open on a Monday in Nairn.

Well where do you start with this one...if you don't want to read on just get yourself to Jackos for a superb meal.

Lovely food, a great place for couples or family. Good variety and prices. Staff were very friendly. Will definitely return.

Fantastic wee bar with friendly staff. Plenty menu choices, we were delighted to find the chips were home cut and not frozen!!! Food was great! Very reasonably priced! My 9year old want to go back for fajita Friday!

Nous cherchions un endroit où dîner un lundi soir et visiblement à Nairn, ce n'est pas chose facile. Nous sommes donc arrivés au hasard dans ce pub, avec peu de touristes mais l'expérience en valait la peine. Le personnel est chaleureux et les repas très convenables et raisonnables en prix.

comfortable sofas, real fire, live music, great atmosphere, Good beer and company, whats not to like,!! In quaint Fishertown area of Nairn

This place has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are quite friendly. I have been here a few time and the the first was the best. Food was delicious. However since then, the past two times is been more average. I think it depends what chef is on! Overall, good food, good staff at a realistic price for what it is.

Stopped in here for a spot of lunch whilst on holiday near Nairn. I had steak, which was cooked perfectly, reasonably priced, served pretty quickly (given that the menu states everything is made to order) and had the most wonderful onion rings with it.

Jacko's menu looks very tempting but although the main part of the meal was well cooked and tasty, the "Half-and-half" chips and rice that came with it was pathetically small. Food is freshly prepared and so anitcipating a wait, coffee was ordered as an aperitif. Eventually, the coffee arrived along with the meal instead of before. We went to the local chip shop afterwards because the main course alone was insufficient to quell our hunger. If you want a fully satisfying meal I recommend that you order some "Sides" to go with it.

Nestled on harbour road in the middle of houses this little bar has lots of charm. With a real coal fire and comfy sofas this bar offers food as well which is ok. They also have live music most weekends to cater for all tastes. Great family pub in the daytime as well. Fairly average prices both at the bar and for food. Good staff also makes this bar worth a visit.

Stopped in with a couple of friends on way back from aberdeen a couple of weeks ago, place looks nice and is quite cosy on the inside, drinks were reasonably priced but we shan't be returning as the bar man at the time (fellow with glasses) came off as having something of an attitude problem and we just felt like an inconvenience rather than welcome. Bar has potential but staff training sorely needed i feel.

Out for a walk one evening and stopped for a drink plenty to pick from and the meal look good will come back and have a meal.

Went here twice during our stay, once with the dog and once without. Both times we were met with great food and great service, despite it being much more busier the second time round. Much better than the caravan site restaurant!
