Oyster Brewery Bar and Restaurant in Argyll & Bute

Lovely cup of tea and brownie. Rest of the family had home made scones, tea and coffee. Service was great. So hospitable.

Lovely place. Really friendly and helpful staff. We popped in for snack and drink. Warm welcome, excellent coffee and very clean, modern loos. Would certainly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

Lovely food, we had lunch here a couple of times whilst staying in the area. Dog friendly and great views, friendly and welcoming service. Oysters were great!

Delicious oysters and mussels with an amazing view on the new deck. A lovely sun trap. The beer was good and service friendly and welcoming.

Very disappointed, ordered pakora to share for starters and we both ordered scampi for our main course. The scampi and pakora arrived at the same time. The pakora was stodgy with a sweet chilli dip that didn’t go. The scampi was like cheap frozen supermarket food, the chips were frozen and not cooked enough. Was really looking forward to a great lunch but left so disappointed, won’t be back

Everything you hope for when you see a sign saying oyster bar! We sat outside with the winter sun in our faces and the sea beside us and enjoyed delicious oysters, Cullen Skink and coffees Idyllic setting and cosy bar

Enjoyed a nice lunch here (mussels, cullen skink and good fish/chips). The ambience is ok, but this place is let down by the staff. Took an age to get a menu (staff busy catching up on their Saturday night antics) and had to overhear the loudest one of them telling the entire restaurant about their gall bladder problems and recent trip to the dentist (not really what you want to hear as you eat your lunch).

Fantastic find! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. Food was fabulous. Especially the oysters and fish and chips. Staff were so friendly. Would highly recommend.

fabulous lunch over looking the sea, food was prepared quickly and tasted wonderful oysters were fantastic

Fabulous spot for lunch, the views alone are worth another visit if we can fit it in. We had lunch here so only had sandwiches but they came well prepared and presented. Friendly and helpful staff.

We celebrated our daughter’s 11th birthday with a meal here. The god was great, the staff were amazing and what a place!!! With a bit of pre planning they provided a cake, candles and singing staff (and customers)! A truly memorable occasion. Menu has something for everyone. Highly recommend.

After a glorious day at sea with seafare...I had a beautiful lunch here it was very tasty ,the staff were very helpful and courteous.

Un restaurant très sympa si tu es dans cet endroit « au bout du monde ». Les fish and chips sont constitués de poisson frais, le service est sympa. Une petite terrasse donnant sur la mer est très charmante.

The Isle of Seil is worth the drive. If you make it to the end, you will reach the Oyster. I had soup and brown bread for lunch, but the scenery is reason enough to come. It was a bonus that the Seil scarecrow festival was going on.

I regularly order mussels anywhere I go if they are on the menu. The mussels at the Oyster Bar and Restaurant were amongst the best I have tasted anywhere. I highly recommend them. I can’t wait to taste the langoustines when I go back there.

Sat out the back inthe beer garden overlooking the sea, cold beers were spot on in the sunshine with a good selection of real ales. We also ate, mussels as a starter were excellent as were the bar meals.

Stunning. First off, we were extremely lucky with the weather - see photos. My wife and I checked out the sunset the evening before as the bar was closing for the night. We decided we had to come for lunch the next day. Considering that there's a very windy road into Ellenabeich across the Isle of Seil, it's well worth it Staff were great although it was extremely busy, so they didn't have much time to stand and chat. From a food perspective, there's an emphasis on seafood...surprise surprise. But it appears as if most fresh food is sourced very close to the location, which is always a good thing to see. Highly recommend but booking maybe required, especially on a clear day...

It’s the only pub in the village but that’s not a problem! Reserve a table because it’s a small kitchen and it can’t handle too many orders at once. Order the langoustines Definitely order the waffles for dessert. Ask for a whisky recommendation. Makes for a happy night at a simple, great local pub and restaurant.

Ate here prior to getting the ferry to visit Easdale ( the ferry being less than 100m away.taking 3 mins and costing £2.40 return). We ate chips and burgers,both of which couldn't have been better.excellent service from staff as well. Easdale is well worth a visit,and I loved all of the wheel barrows left for residents to transport things around the island which has no cars

This is a pathetic place.. some days back I was at this place and the venue had a live band playing and some customers were bugging the singer constantly but singer obliged and continue his performance but by the end the customers started thrashing and beating the singer for not entertaining their repeated requests. The management did not intervene and the good for nothing bouncers stood like stupid and watched it all happing. Not sure what happened later but I was scared and would suggest people to not go here cos you really don't know if something like this happens then will the management will ever try to help anyone. PATHETIC BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT. NEVER VISITING AGAIN.

My wife and I booked this restaurant before going on the Corryvrekan Whirlpool Special RIB trip. We are so glad we booked as practically every table was taken and this was at 18:00. We can honestly say it was the best Fish n Chips ever!!! Fabulous fresh fish, lovely fresh peas and great chips. A great choice of beers too!! We would recommend this lovely little restaurant to anyone - but do book!!!

Stopped in for lunch and a drink whilst visiting Seil and Luing. A great location on the waterfront. We had a tasty sandwich and bowl of Cullen skink followed by an apple crumble. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food excellent. Although we...

The food is amazing and fresh , staff and atmosphere are second to none. We visit regularly on and off season and have never been disapointed.

We visited on a quiet but stormy day in February so do not really recognise all the photos of fresh seafood as there was little to choose from and certainly no oysters. The Cullen skink was rich and creamy but rather light in smoked haddock...

We stayed in Ellenabeich during Spring 2022. It's a very small and quiet Scottish village, with the Oyster Bar & Restaurant being the only place to eat and drink locally. Luckily we found the place to be increadibly warm and welcoming. The food won't win...

Booked at the last minute and had a lovely window table. Waiter was a young man who looked after us very well. Food was excellent, well prepared and beautifully presented. Just a lovely place to eat with a lovely ambiance. So glad we visited

The whole experience for us was not a good one, after looking forward to visiting for some time. The waitress and waiter we had were very young and inexperienced, although pleasant. We had checked ahead for vegan/vegetarian options but my choice of veggie burger was:...

Spent a lovely afternoon with a beautiful view from the terrace. Staff very polite and accommodating. Food was delicious and very well presented. Can’t wait to return.

We stumbled across this lovely little bar & restaurant whilst visiting Oban last weekend. The location couldn't have been more picturesque, nestling over a small sea inlet, with a bar terrace overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The weather was perfect, the Ocean like a mill pond,...

We had a long wait until we were served, no suggestions as what to order. Just had the menu dumped on our table. We were both tired after our day trip. We ordered chicken and a steak which was excellent. We couldn't find the seafood...

Great Menu, fantastic host and view. We appreciated and enjoyed the service as well as the food and drinks. We can highly recommend the Oyster Bar & Restaurant and will certainly come back!

The Oyster Bar is well worth the drive. I would definitely book in advance. There's mussels and langoustine on the menu, plus a wide range of other choices. In the evening there is parking in the little harbour. There's a bigger carpark St the end...

Belle endroit pour déjeuner après une ballade en bateau. Nous y sommes retournés deux jours de suite car c’est très...

We stayed in a cottage in Ellanabeich for a week and enjoyed several meals in the Oyster Bar and Restaurant. Food was delicious and everyone is really friendly and welcoming.

We ate here twice and both times the food was good. The staff were friendly and helpful and the best thing for us was the fact that it was almost next door!

Had eaten here before on a previous years visit but did not find it as good as before, the seafood is good but other dishes are pretty average,

Great little lunch in the square outside. Staff very helpful, food good value for money. Enjoyed the non alcoholic cider

We hadn't booked and managed to grab the last free table at lunchtime so I would advise you book if you want to eat here. We had lovely fish and chips, sandwich and burger. We did have to wait for the food for longer than...

After our Seafari tour we stopped in for tea on a gorgeous sunny day. We sat out on the small deck overlooking the water and watched a pod of bottle-nose dolphins. We had planned to leave after that and have lunch at another pub on...

Very nice mussels and Cajun chicken. Good spot with decent food and beautiful drive to the place. An unexpected wee treasure.

We stopped for lunch after taking a sea safari and had wonderful food. The fresh langoustine were perfectly served, and the mussels were generous and served in a lovely sauce. We sat out on the terrace looking across the stunning scenery. Really friendly and attentive...

Homely. Beer garden at back comfortable, wonderful views. The carry out small deep-fried haddock and chips more than enough for one. Scrummy.

We visited a few times whilst we were visiting Ellenabeich recently and each occasion was a very pleasant experience. We had a great welcome on our first night, a lovely quiet evening for our anniversary and then a quiet lunch with what I can describe...

We had been told by a friend that the fish and chips here were the 'best ever'; I'm not sure I'd agree with that, but the fish was very tasty. Sadly the batter wasn't very crispy, which is one of my criteria for excellent fish...

Decent menu, good portions, friendly service and local beer. A very welcome evening meal after a day outdoors.

Whilst on my holidays I ran across this little jem, a small fishing village pub with a great atmosphere and fantastic food at reasonable prices, well worth a visit

Open every day and serving good ale and pub food. Seafood available but order in advance if you can as it may run out!

Had a lovely meal here - best fish and chips I've had. Service really friendly and attentive and the sticky toffee pudding was yummy. You are best to book as not masses of tables but really worth a visit.

They were fully-booked but kindly squeezed us in for fish and chips after a short wait. Disappointing not to be able to try the other things on the menu, but a great deal better than no food at all! Great view, and a very pleasant...

Just scraped in with a last minute 5pm slot as we happened to be there as the kitchen was opening, as the weekday evening was fully booked. Starter of cullen skink was wonderfully creamy and smoky with generous haddock and potato. Followed by fantastic tasting...

One of the waitresses made me and my friends feel immediately comfortable and welcome due to her affability and friendliness :)

Great raw oysters and lovely service from Emily. Beautiful spot to have a meal after a day's sailing.

We came here as our child has coeliac disease and many items were marked as gluten free. However, the waitress didn’t know what gluten was and although we kept asking, I think we were misinformed as our child got very ill after eating here.

Baked potato, local mussels, yummy macaroni, all good thanks. Unfortunately we had no change to leave a tip - sorry!

Arrived at 15.20 on a Saturday afternoon realising we were too late for hot food. We were informed they could do drinks and cakes. So we ordered a couple of drinks and a coconut & jam slice. Drinks came (ok), cake came (dry and the...

We brought our family for a visit to Seil yesterday and stopped in for a coffee on the spur of the moment. The staff were friendly, however ask to see a menu before ordering as the prices are extortionate for what you get. We were...

We had lunch here after a Seafari boat trip. The service was friendly and the food was fantastic. The kids both had fish and chips and said it was the best they had ever had. I had Steak and Ale pie which was also delicious...

Booked a table in advance to be safe, had a lovely meal here before going over to stay on Easdale, staff friendly and the food was really good. Sat on the decking taking in the amazing view.

We arrived after a seafari trip for a bite to eat, the place was fully booked but they accommodated us splendidly. Food was excellent and service was great would recommend!

We were delighted to be able to have lunch here considering we hadn’t pre booked. The Cullen skink sandwich combo was very tasty and my husband was very happy with his steak and ale pie. As it was sunny, we were able to move to...

We have been staying in the little square and have eaten in the pub several times. The view out to sea is simply stunning and the perfect setting. We’ve had plenty of fish and seafood but other dishes too; all beautifully cooked. The haddock does...

I booked a dinner as had heard it was reviewed as best 14 seafood restaurants in Scotland. The position was perfect as beautiful views from garden, shame seating was just picnic table. I was utterly disappointed with the menu, as it was a combined menu...

Another repeat visit to this wee gem of a restaurant bar. Fantastic customer service despite it being busy tiday. Young staff a credit to place, well done.

It was a stunning day so we could sit outside the food was good and while very busy we were kept informed and was quicker than we thought - all very COVID safe and friendly I dont know how they do it - but a...

We had a quick meal after driving up from Edinburgh for an evening boat trip . We hadn't thought about booking so would recommend booking to avoid disappointment. Food was lovely, service was quick and efficient and staff were welcoming and friendly. We weren't inside...

this restaurant were superb. Our booking was last minute but they found space for us. The staff were brilliant despite being run off their feet.

Worth a trip just for the view. Our visit was somewhat spoilt by the barman who shouted at us. We saw a free table and took a seat and he barked about the table not being cleaned. Turned out it had. No way to speak...

Fantastic food with glorious views overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Would highly recommend the mussels and local beer. It is recommended that you phone/book prior to going as the place gets very busy due to the great food and location. Although very busy the staff were...

Stopping in Ellenabeich for the week and have eaten here many times. Best food around, good value and excellent service. A must for the visitor. Best to book though.

Called in as part of a coach trip a couple of weeks ago just before lunch time. We just wanted coffees but the couple wanted food. They were told no meals before lunch so they opted for scones. The staff were so disorganised and were...

Cosy little bar with lovely staff and service. Food was very well presented. It is necessary to book at weekends.

Very good hospitality and menu. The host is very knowledgeable and happy to chat about local history and whisky!

I was a little concerned about having 2 consecutive nights booked at the Oyster Bar but need not have worried. I would have happily done a 3rd. Service is pleasant and efficient although once things quietened towards the end of the evening the owner was...

What a very good time! Some Langoustines and some otsters, a very good Starter ... exactly what we needed after...

Excellent seafood dishes all are first class quaility, langoustine is a favorite of ours as is the succulent Scampi served with homemade Tartar sauce, presented well and tastes delicious. Excellent choices of malts and beers too. Small but stunning deck at rear with breath taking...

Great fish, good service beautiful place we had a memorable evening especially when combined with sea farie trip

We just had a fabulous meal at the Oyster Bar - delicious langoustines followed by fish and chips. The battered haddock was so fresh, it just melted in the mouth. It’s in a stunning location, friendly service and very reasonably priced - enjoy!

Had a lovely meal, very reasonably priced, the battered fish was amazing. My husband had the homemade burger which he devoured. The staff were very friendly. The small outdoor area had the best views. Definitely recommend if in the area.

Ate here twice and thoroughly enjoyed the hearty food. The Mac n cheese was the best have had ! it was lovely to sit outside and admire the views.

We had dinner twice during our stay at Balvicar. The staff were trying hard to be Covid friendly in difficult circumstances. It was cold with the doors open so wrap up warmly. The food was good and freshly prepared, the beer and welcome excellent. My...

Excellent meal including very good mussels, excellent sticky toffee pudding and Haddock and chips to die for. Recommended!

based on reviews decided to give this place a try. Beautiful setting and well worth the drive to get there. Covid rules were in place and we watched tables and chairs being cleaned so we felt safe. I had the oysters followed by the mussels and the were superb......husband had the chicken casserole which he loved.Service was a bit slow but the weather and the food compensated for that.They are dog friendly which is a bonus if you are travelling with your four legged friend :-)

Ordered and paid for haddock, chips, peas and tartare sauce to take out. No peas or sauce, nice fish, soggy batter. Disappointing, we like to support small communities by spending locally, feel let down now.

We called in twice during our stay, first for a drink the first night, did not stay too long, second for a meal, had a nice meal from the special menu, staff were fine, nothing our of the ordinary, strange times we are in at the moment, we did not feel very welcome really sat in the back place which was not too nice...was ok

So originally food was excellent along with the service for our small order of 4 pints along with the food however, once I tried to order another round simply after our food to wash down the food I was told that there was no glasses to have 4 shorts! I have been in many different types of establishment however I have never been told that there is no glasses I wouldn’t mind warm glasses out of the washer but I think no glasses is a very poor excuse!

We walked from Cuan Ferry along the coast to the Oyster Bar for lunch. Covid precautions were well laid out and staff were friendly. We were lucky with the weather and booked a table outside on the rear terrace overlooking the water. It was absolutely beautiful. Oysters were super tasty, as were the langoustines. Would highly recommend.

Having been the previous day we found Oyster Bar to be a positive experience as a bar. We had drinks and the staff were friendly and adhered to COVID rules. Service was a little slow at times. Tonight however we had booked for a meal. The tables were spaced apart but we were seated by a window. Ventilation is needed but it was rather cold. The starter we shared was langoustine and tasty. We both opted for the pork belly which proved very disappointing. The fat was not seared or rendered down. The pork was rolled some of it tough. It was smothered in an overpowering mustard sauce with a sweet taste. Not very appetising. Staff were attentive. Food not recommended but a nice bar

I love this place because of Oysters. They also have variety of selections on their menu. For people doesn’t eat seafood, they also have food for you.

Great lunch with the family after a rib ride- staff fantastic, food fantastic , atmosphere brilliant ...highly recommended!

We reserved a table in advance since it can be busy at this time of year. The atmosphere was subdued a little due to Covid restrictions (same everywhere) but still we were made welcome, food was good, served quickly and staff very friendly.

We visited for drinks and had a friendly and warm welcome, when we sat down it was apparent the table had not been cleaned and was a discarded napkin laying on the windowsill, the soap also had ran out in the ladies and there were no paper towels in either toilets to dry hands. Didn’t feel hygienic.

Accueil lointain prise de commande aussi éloigné, dommage le lieu est sympa possibilité de manger en terrasse quand le temps le permet restauration basé sur les produits de la mer huîtres langoustines moules .... une fois les plats débarrassés l addition on ne nous propose pas dessert ou café

My husband and I had lunch here yesterday. The experience could not have been better. Food was incredible and the staff were very helpful with my (sometimes) limited dining choices (I am coeliac). Seafood was super fresh and delicious. Good covid implementation too. Sat at the rear of the restaurant, outside, so had a wonderful view too.

Simple but delightful visit. We visited twice while on the island. The menu is straightforward - the smoked oysters are delicious as a starter and portions of main courses are excellent - not overwhelming. The team is helpful and great care is being taken to ensure safety during this challenging period.

Fantastic setting. Great food. We were staying in the area for a week and went as often as we could. Great grilled oysters with garlic butter. Great fish and chips. Great west coast prawns. Well kept beer. Fantastic.

Wow! This little bar on the shores of Atlantic is just fabulous. Me and my husband ate here 2 night in a row and just loved the food. Highly recommend the mussles in white wine, scampi with chips,the super Angus burger and the homemade Cullen skink. I love seafood,but this has opened my tastebuds to a whole new world. Just loved everything. The staff is really friendly and made us feel at home even though we were few thousand miles away. Highly recommend!!!!

This is a great little bar & restaurant right on the sea front, this place has fantastic views and warm and welcoming staff. Good choice of food with great daily specials of seafood 🦞 check it out 👏

Excellent gem on the Isle of Seil. We had two meals in one week at the Oyster bar, excellent oysters, great langostine and amazing razor clams. The staff are really friendly, special mention for Lydon who kept the Stella’s coming, I hope you remember me! I would definitely recommend the Oyster bar, it’s a wonderful local inn for shellfish and beers!

We were exploring the Isle of Seil and discovered this restaurant at the end of the world and vowed to return that evening. We were glad we did.Even though it was quite late, we were welcomed and ushered to a cosy table. There's a nice roaring fire in another corner. We were looking for seafood but demand had obviously been high and the availability was low so we finished off all of their remaining oysters with parmesan and garlic butter! Yum!Otherwise it was normal pub fayre which was of a very good standard and fair value.Friendly staff and a cosy atmosphere. Parking was a bit of a challenge but there is plenty of it a short walk away and the paths are well lit

Worth the drive to the end of the map. Pub food, good value. Dog friendly. Warm welcome on a very chilly day.
