The Barn in Argyll & Bute

Excellent evening meal with family to celebrate 50th birthday. Cosy bar all decorated up for Xmas and dog friendly too - highly recommend

Fabulous meal this evening, superb service, great value, need to visit thus venue

Locale in zona isolata quindi consiglio di non andarci di sera tardi o in caso di nebbia o maltempo in quanto la strada è stretta e buia. Abbiamo mangiato bruschetta quasi immangiabile talmente tanta era la cipolla a crudo. Poi tagliatelle al ragù di cervo, e pesce al forno con tortino di patate, entrambi buoni.

Phoned twice for reservations was told to leave details said they would get back but never did .So I decided to just go ,only to find it closed after a 10 ml journey no info on its website to say it was closed actually said it was open heard so much about it saying it was really good , so was really looking forward to visiting. Disappointed ☹️ s mcgill

So glad we found this place ... booking is recommended as it seemed very popular, especially with the residents of the nearby holiday lodges! Friendly and warm welcome from the outset and the food was delicious. Would definitely return!

Fantastic place that revisit every year. This year was brilliant as usual and we can't wait to return. Great food and amazing staff.

Très bon accueil et excellent service dans ce pub rural et rustique ! Saumon fumé ultra tendre, moules copieuses, tartelettes à la ratatouille, pâtes bien cuisinées. À recommander.

Fantastic evening meal & drinks! all fresh homemade food with great flavour! great service with a smile and attentive!

Quite out of the way but previous reviews led us to this hidden gem! A very warm welcome and absolutely lovely service here plus the food was excellent! I never usually have dessert but the cola cake with bourbon sauce intrigued me and…..wow! Incredible! Lovely experience and very dog friendly.

It was a typical pub for us. Friendly service, draft beer, decent food. Within walking distance of our Lagnakeil Lodges accommodation.

On that cold, misty October day, I recall the heat generated by a wood-burning stove. Well, at least until a scrumptious meal was served. Yum! This reminds me of the rustic restaurants of my youth in North Carolina, where meals were often served “family style,” meaning large bowls of many selections and each guest could take what they like. That’s the only difference. The Barn appears to be a family-owned business that encourages merriment, as well as delightful meals. My only regret was that we enjoyed only one evening at the Barn.

Excellent food and great staff. Evan made sure our dog was provided with clean water.

Food to die for especially the blackpudding mash

What a hidden gem, a bar, and a restaurant on a farm. The food was good and the drinks. We stayed in the Campervan Aire onsite.

What a fantastic Bar & Restaurant. A warm welcome from the very friendly owners, attentive service , excellent quality food which was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The whole evening was an absolute joy. We will definitely be back. They all work so hard to give a high standard of food and service. Thanks for a great dining experience and making us so welcome.

Un accueil génial et un repas excellent. Le lieu du restaurant est loin de la cohue et c'est très ressourçant ! Nous avons été reçus comme des rois ! Allez-y sans hésiter.

So this is located out of town , no in woodland surroundings. Food menu on the blackboard, with. Soup of the day. The food was freshly prepared , the service in the restaurant was delivered by one team member with another behind the bar. She worked her socks off and never stopped for a minute. Food was fine but small details let down this score. Chicken was dry ,the steak more done that requested . Choice of wine by the glass was also a choice of a few

Very very good food. Nice place to eat. Great and lovely staff. Lot of local and very fresh food. It was great.

Fantastic food and lovely staff, can highly recommend! We had a private party for the Clipper supporters and the BBQ food provided was exceptional! Julie and the team went above and beyond! We also booked in for dinner as we were staying at Cologin Country Chalets, the Chicken pie was delicious! We will be back next time we come to Oban!

Great food and friendly service. We were a party of 7, and everyone enjoyed what they had ordered. I’d go back anytime! Top notch service!

No wonder this is a local favorite! The food was amazing, service was lovely, and the atmosphere and conversations with the locals were sweet. Little hard to find but well worth it.

I cannot recommend The Barn Bar enough. Julie, Angus and the team were amazing throughout our stay at Cologin and hosted us for our evening wedding reception for over 50 guests. The food was incredible - they created a bespoke BBQ menu for us and people said it was the best wedding food they've ever had! Not to mention how friendly and helpful Julie was during the planning process. Thank you all so much!

“The Barn” seems out of the world. Fantastic ambience. The food is phenomenal!

it's a great wee place that you are almost guaranteed to get a table, food is always lovely and a nice atmosphere, the backs of the seats are the old stalls from when it was a barn. Well worth a visit and there is a wee play park outside if you have small children

Delicious dinner! I had the venison which I highly recommend.. great drinks and attentive friendly staff. I will definitely be returning.

Had a beautiful evening meal on our first night, and a lovely breakfast on 1st day of opening for breakfasts would well recommend and bonus of free tea or coffee

Lovely food, great atmosphere, friendly staff, will definitely be back.

Cosy warm atmosphere,staff exceptional and so attentive great varied menu and the food was amazing. Highly recommend and will be back

Another lovely visit to our favourite restaurant. Everything was great and staff are were amazing.

Stayed in the cabins for a week during the summer, ate here most nights and the food was excellent freshly cooked plus the service was exceptional. Been in much more expensive restaurants that couldn't match this place for the quality of food and service. Plus they allow well behaved dogs in which is a great for pet owners like myself.

Excellent great atmosphere and the food was special,well worth a visit

What a great little place! Worth the efforts to find it we have just had a great Sunday lunch beef was great and my wife had the pork we Which she thought was delicious Great food topped off with friendly service at very reasonable prices The atmosphere is very rustic but don’t be put off! this place is well worth the visit

The Barn never disappoints, fantastic opening times if you can't manage to squeeze into traditional lunch times. Weekly changing menu, tasty wine at affordable prices. Fantastic cooking always fish courses. Speedy service. Going to the Barn is a no-brainer.

Rural, homey atmosphere. It seemed like a locals favorite. Great service. Great food. The duck was wonderful. Worth the short drive.

Simple well executed dished featuring local produce , as good as any fancy Oban restaurant

I had the venison. It was very hot in the room with the fire going.

Disappointed with the food. Macaroni bland. Baby portion same size of the adults. Small macaroni huge plate of chips next to it for £15. Prices to dear for what Is offered. Barn use to be cheaper and food better. The batter on my sons chicken burger over cooked and the half of bougette it came in was burnt. Kids didn't eat the macaroni. Over all service good nice staff. Let down.

Stayed on site where the Barn is and have to say the food was amazing. Visited both nights we were there and both nights the food was fabulous. Catered for a gluten free diet and couldn’t have been more helpful. Also dog friendly Thank you

Wonderful experience, our waitress was super!!

We visited the Barn twice during our recent stay at Cologin lodges. Both times the food was excellent. There is a good choice on the menu and they use local produce. The crab chowder,venison ragu,and the pork fillet were all amazing. The restaurant was relaxed with a good atmosphere, all staff were friendly and welcoming special mention for Julie and Leanne who served us. If you are in Oban I would highly recommend a visit to the Barn.

Leckeres Essen, nette Bedienung und Publikum. Nettes Entertainment für die Kleinen (die Großen durften beim ausmalen helfen 😆)

Went to The Barn with family and had a great time. As the title suggests it was nearly a five, so it gets five… Our party had steak, duck, Mac n’ cheese and pollock in a bouillabaisse followed by various desserts. All were very good, although the pollock could have done with some bread or spuds… (first tiny tick back from five stars) A well kept local real ale was served and there was a decent wine list for a place of its size. The desserts were very generous and went down a treat. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. The other little recommendation is that steak knives should be provided. Absolutely recommended a visit when in the Oban area. Arrive early and take a walk down to the Loch side is recommended too

fantastic hospitality. simple cuisine with local products. a friendly atmosphere. Julie brings her good humor. a big thank you for this good moment.

Really in the middle of nowhere! Lovely staff serving up tasty basic food with a smile. Amazing to be surrounded by fields and sheep yet have quality service with big smiles.

We visited on Thursday having booked the last sitting at 8:30. A nice venue and the staff were very attentive and helpful: they know their stuff about the whiskey. We started with the Haggis Bon Bon’s which were fantastic and the ham hock which was really good. The mains were steak cooked a good medium rare was really nice and the duck, which comes a little pink, which was beautiful, the jus compliments the duck perfectly. Dessert was a lovely ginger and white chocolate cheesecake. The staff then helped me selected two whisky to try. The Rasaay and Benriach both good choices for my preference on whisky. All in all a great meal.

Been here few times and this place never disappoint. Their Crab Chowder or Venison Stew are over the moon. Great service and warm welcome staf. Always looking forward to come back there.

Fantastic food, great service and a warm welcome.

Eat here every time we stay at cologin and every time the food is amazing, local produce, excellent chef and really friendly staff.

Excellent food, warm atmosphere. The server was so sweet. The venison was tender and delicious. The scallops were SO tasty. The live ale was delicious. Loved this meal!

For medical reasons we were looking for a quiet meal so it was quite a surprise to find ourselves -at 6 pm on a Thursday -walking into a pub full of so many friendly and helpful people. Bit disorientating at first but it turned out this pub is extremely popular with the locals and by Jove you can see why. I'm old enough to remember when all Scottish pubs were like this. Anyway we got seated in the interesting and quirky verandah section which was much quieter. The food was of a very high standard indeed. Service prompt, efficient and friendly. They honestly couldn't do enough for us. Top marks to the Barn and we'd go back there any time.

Very friendly and managed to get a table without booking. Dog friendly too. Menu looked good but we were both disappointed with the Turkey Sunday lunch we chose.

Really enjoyed the food, assume that make the most of fresh local produce, obviously popular as several options got wiped off the board during the evening. Had guest ale and good selection of drinks. Staff were friendly. Busy with locals and people on holiday.

Expensive, very little choice on the menu.

We were staying in Oban but wanted a quiet drink away from it all in the country. This was in the middle of nowhere up a single track road. It was rustic and atmospheric just what we were looking for. Food looked nice post code took us past it so look out for the signs

My partner and I went to the Barn today for lunch. What a lovely place and the food was very affordable and delicious! The service was fabulous. The lady who was at front of house was friendly approachable and very good at her job. Nothing was too much trouble. The atmosphere was quiet and We both loved it. We are now looking forward to returning on a regular basis. 10\10.

Sehr aufmerksames und freundliches Personal, tolles Essen. Große Portionen für den gezahlten Preis. Reservierung kōnnte von Vorteil sein. Dienstag und Mittwoch Ruhetag. Hundefreundlich.

What a hidden gem food was amazing all cooked to order. Bar staff and front of house were amazing great knowledge of food and drinks nothing a bother can't wait to come back well done guys for your hard work. Karen and Carol oh and willow sorry for the little piddle willow had 😂❤️❤️

Wonderful food and service, with decent atmosphere. The menu rotates so is not available online, however it had a good selection - including several vegetarian options. Toilets are clean, and there was ample parking. Note it is a single track road for the last mile. Tip: book ahead by calling them if coming at a moderately busy time and wanting to eat inside.

We are driving around Scotland and found this perfect place to enjoy a Sunday roast. The place is cozy and nice and the owners very welcoming. We are definitively happy we have been able to find such a lovely place.

This small bar / restaurant is a must if you are staying in Oban or at the lodges ... staff are so friendly and food is awesome...

Roast beef was delicious, as was the nut roast and great service to boot. One of the only places we could find that offered a roast with a vegetarian option too

Fantastic place, food was delicious, service was excellent

Really friendly service. Chef obviously takes pride in his work. Dog and kid friendly. Absolute hidden gem.

Absolutely the best restaurant we went to in Oban! Every dish was deliciously prepared. Our server was the nicest gal in town! She made us feel so welcome with impeccable service! We tried several dishes and everything was excellent! The desserts were beyond incredible!! Such a fun & friendly vibe, clean and a place you just felt so welcome. The Barn is our "go to" restaurant in Oban! You will not be disappointed!! ❤️

From the minute we arrived till we left, perfection, food delicious, catered for me being coeliac , husbands Venison Lasagne amazingly delicious, soup & risotto faultless, we will definitely be back, Julie & Angus amazing hosts

The food here is out of this world. We called in without a reservation on the off chance. Staff where very accommodating. & our dog was just as welcome. I Had a couple of pints of the local brew as well. We will definitely be calling again.

Great place and great atmosphere. Staff was very helpful with suggestions on places to see in the local area. And we really liked the food :)

It's a bit out of town but worth a trip if you've got a dog to walk and like decent pub grub. It's quite rustic but there's a good atmosphere when it's busy and new owners have recently taken over.

Great food, friendly staff,great atmosphere

What an absolutely fantastic place the food was outstanding!! The portions were huge too. The place has a great warm home like atmosphere and you can't beat the welcome you get from Julie and Angus. Can't wait for our next visit 😁

2nd time here and didn't disappoint. Friendly staff and a cracking Sunday roast. Will definitely be back again

Lovely warm atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff. The food available was exceptionally well prepared and presented. Nice choices that are not "run-of-the-mill" so you feel you have to come back and try something else you maybe also fancied, the next time!. Highly recommended.

Absolutely cracking lunch the food was outstanding, friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere.

Visited here for lunch today whilst staying with our lovely friends who live locally. Between us we had soup , muscles , steaks , lasagna , biscoff cheesecake and marmalade tart and drinks . Each course was delicious and well presented. Portion size was generous. The biscoff cheesecake was perfection! Prices are good. Lovely friendly service and warm and cozy with log fire which was topped up several times. Will definitely be back. Thank you for a delicious lunch in a lovely atmosphere. 🥰

Food, wouldn't "wow" it, but good. Nice cosy place

Staff went above and beyond to look after us. Great night had by all!

Lovely cosy place. Delicious food. Nice staff. Thank you.

Lovely service and setting, nice vegan options.

Discovered this place on Sunday . Fantastic food and a great location . My wife loves a Sunday Roast and there were three choices , beef , pork and for vegetarians a nut roast. All freshly cooked and well presented. I think that this is one of the hidden gems for food , and drink in Argyll. Definitely be back.

Amazing food and lovely staff! Very nice experience, definitely recommend and would go back again :)

The best beef steak I ever had!! Fantastic spot with great ambient and very nice service. Good choice of food and even better quality. I couldn’t be more satisfied. It definitely worths the drive up there👍🏻👍🏻

Just great! Lovely Sunday roast and as a vegetarian, i rarely say that! Great for kids too, they have the same choice but can have a 1/2 size. Very friendly team

Had dinner at The Barn tonight, excellent meal. Sunday roast was delicious, beef stroganoff amazing. AND, the sticky toffee pudding….scrumptious. Beautiful setting, friendly staff and a varied menu makes the trip worthwhile. Single track road with this wee treasure at the end.

This restaurant is well worth a visit. We had a wonderful Sunday lunch with crispy roast potatoes, homemade Yorkshire puddings, fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked pork and beef. The Scottish cheeseboard introduced us to an interesting variety of different regional cheeses which were complimented by a glass of port. The host is very friendly and accommodating offering advice on local places to visit.

Great food, very friendly staff. A must if you're in this area, just outside Oban. We'll worth a visit!

Food is lovely and the place is great Very polite staff !

We really enjoyed our meal at the barn with our children. they had lovely fresh food from the children's menu and we had steak and langoustine for the adults, both of which were locally sourced and delicious.

You definitely need a car to find this restaurant - tucked away down a single track road about 3 miles from Oban. There is plenty of parking. When we arrived it was very noisy and busy- with lots of people from the chalets at the...

Au bout du monde, dans un paysage fantastique, petite auberge avec un accueil plus que charmant Excellent diner - tres...

Super pub dans la campagne proche de la ville de Oban ( connue pour son whisky) très bonnes spécialités écossaises et également de bières . Possibilité de dormir dans des petits chalets.

Leckeres Essen und freundliche Bedienung. Wir waren sehr zufrieden.

The fresh food was beautifully cooked and presented. The menu choice was varied to suit taste and budget. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Fabulous find. Just 2 miles south of Oban. We treated ourselves to a 3 course lunch and it was fabulous. We chose the main menu but cheaper options are available. Freshly prepared food, beautifully presented by friendly staff. Even a wee play park for the children.

Outstanding food! I had mussels as starter & fish pie for main; finished everything. Service was great, too, also lively & fun.

Friendly funky service and really decent food.

What a find .A bit off the main road but worth finding.We received a very warm welcome and the service was excellent as was the generous portion of muscles.

Great food very enthusiastic staff never judge a book by its cover.

We were a tour group of about 18 people and I think everyone truly enjoyed their dinner here. My meal was an absolutely delicious bowl of local mussels as an appetizer and a most appealing looking and tasting ratatouille tart and potatoes for entree . This local pub has the friendliest owner and such a fun young staff.

Had a lovely family meal at the Barn tonight, for the first time since the change in management last year. Very friendly efficient service and the food was delicious! Highly recommended. 😁

The food was excellent and service was excellent the patrons who had just taken on the restaurant earlier this year where very good
