The Black Sheep Pub in Argyll & Bute

Had a delicious meal, good and friendly service in a lovely setting. Service could have been faster.

No staff to serve. Dirty tables. Customers eventually cleaning own table/removing glasses. Rude staff. Prices inflated. Same bottled drinks £6 cheaper for two in burnside. And save £5.60 in fiddlers. Avoid. We had planned to have food and meet more friends her but left. Bar staff were fed up, likely understaffed, probably not their fault, but very rude.

Had a lovely meal here. Very friendly staff

Great food and service. Very atmospheric. Nice views Comfortable seating. The bar wasn't too busy when we were here. But restaurant was.

Bar staff rude think her name was Rhona. Pub was clean everything else great apart from the woman’s attitude. Pub was busy and she’s storming about. Someone tried to say about changing the tv over and she was very abrupt.

The barmaid working last night offered us some of the worst service I've ever encountered. Food came out an hour after ordering (had to remind them). Drinks were thrice the price they should've been.

Very nice pub atmosphere. Good selection of beers. And super delicious onion rings. 😀

This pub has many good things going for it. On a visit to Campbeltown this week I'd say it is the best pub I have found with the best atmosphere. It's busy and popular with tourists who visit the town. The food was good, and the pub has a nice range of international beers (but expect at least the prices I would pay in the centre of Edinburgh where I live). I couldn't find good marks for the service though. It visibly seemed to be a bothersome for the young waiter, to bring out Cutlery which was not initially with the meal. Was I supposed to eat the meal with my fingers?

Probably the best place for a drink in town. We had great service one Friday night from Shannon, good selection of beers and whisky. Haggis nachos went down a treat.

Went in for lunch yesterday, buffalo chicken burger and chips was very nice indeed, I enjoyed it, my wife enjoyed her fish and chips, missing a star for the girl serving behind the bar who is miserable, no customer service skills and spends all the time on her phone. Expensive but, Campbeltown seems to be expensive everywhere, think because it is so remote here that people have no choice but to pay the high prices, OK ripping off the tourists but I feel bad for the locals

Sizeable measures, well-stocked bar.

It was a great day here in Campbeltown. We were hungry and we chose this place. The food was great except the onion rings. Just too much oily, I don’t like it. The lasagna was very tasty. The nachos also was great. I would say ok place.

A bit disappointed in this bar mainly due to the bad service from bar maids , have been previously and had a guy serve and he was excellent, unfortunately on this trip the two young bar maids seemed more interested in their phones than serving.

In a last minute change of plans and having never visited Campbeltown before we spotted this pub on the side of the harbour. We both had the steak pie - it was fantastic. The pub had a friendly vibe and the staff seemed very friendly. Highly recommended.

Great proper pub, , quiet. Only a few beers but super lunch..

Great food and friendly service. Would definitely go back and dog friendly which was a major bonus.

Foods is good definitely use again.

Great pub, Great food! I really enjoyed it.

Great whisky selection, especially the local brands 😋 👌

Two of us visited for food midday midweek food a few months back. We got the ribs and they were fatty, grisly and bones were shattered so had to chew very carefully. We couldn't finish the meal and left shortly after which was disappointing. We then went to black sheep on a later date, we went and stood at end of the bar and waited for 10min. The barmaid did not acknowledge us once. Someone approached bar at opposite end after us waiting and was served immediately, then patrons already at bar were served and still we received no service. We left without service. We won't be coming back to The Royal. Terrible customer service and experience.

Wonderful pub with excellent food and a good, local whiskey selection. Nice, very attentive service, wonderful view over the harbor. A must see in Campbeltown. Tip: definitely try the haggis nachos!

Really bad service I mean staff don’t even care kept talking some local costumer for ages asked for menu and was looking at menu barmaid asked were we ready to order said give us a minute only again she went and started talking with local costumer for ages not great food either sorry

Food was brilliant..was there 2 nights on the trot...

Went here whilst on a tour of Scotland simply to try their renown haggis nachos and boy oh boy we weren't disappointed, so very tasty and moreish, they do a standard and a large. we found the standard plenty to share, great little oldie worldly pub

Siamo arrivati a Campbeltown in mezzo ad una bufera di acqua e vento siamo stati accolti in questo pub con gentilezza la ragazza è stata molto carina. Adesso aspettiamo i piatti che abbiamo ordinato. E poi whisky

Try the Haggis Nachos. They were great

Great house, nice staff, great food!

I'm guessing this must be a really awful place to work in... The staff were so miserable (a smile, a hello, a thank you... Really doesn't cost anything)... The place didn't even look that busy, I dread to think what it's like on a busy day! Making one latte seemed like a massive task for the bar staff. I even brought the empty saucer/cup back to the serving area, not a single thank you or smile... Cheer up! Is it really that bad to work here?!? Great shame as the seating and decor were really nice, just the service completely let the place down. 2* only becuase the seating area was nice, would've been 1* otherwise.

Really nice place with good food and atmosphere 👌

When the Royal Hotel did not have availability we were advised that the Royal hotel also served food in the pub. Food was delicious and I'd eat here again. The pub was busy, bar staff attentive and hard working but seating a little worn.

Need a bank loan to buy a burger

What a great wee pub!, beer was lovely, we had a brilliant night! the food was delicious the beer was lovely and Leah was first class.

Very friendly staff, great chat with locals & enjoyed some good food

The black sheep pub is great service and the staff as well the food is excellent out of this world from my heart

Ate there two evenings in a row with friends on a tour. Delicious. Nice atmosphere. Attentive service. Be sure to try the taco chips

This pub has an atmosphere, but its prices let it down.

Excellent food, very welcoming and very quiet when I visited. Definitely worth trying.

Gemütlich und einladender Pub, guter Service und unbedingt die Haggis-Nachos probieren! 😉 Top!

Birreria non molto grande,Abbiamo mangiato molto bene,un po' caro

The staff were incredibly professional and friendly. If we didn't have 'insider knowledge' that they were understaffed and struggling, we would never have known!

I’ve had to rate 1 star for everything as I was not allowed to eat inside with the dog. I understand if the restaurant chooses this but surely the pub attached could have a dog friendly table or two. Very disappointed so walked to the Ardshiel hotel and was welcomed with the dog. Fab food too!

I enjoyed this pub. Comfy. Quick service.

Probably not a great time of day - we visited at 3pm on a Weds. Bar staff was on a word fast. Completely monosyllabic....are you serving food "yes", do you have a menu "yes". Then turned out the pub is not dog friendly- although listed as such (and we were directed there by a cafe who were not dog friendly). Made our apologies and sat outside. Asked for a water bowl for the dog. Then had to ask for water!!! Hard work but the Irn Bru was excellent! Nice interior and clean toilets and I am sure it is much better in the evening.

Fast service, friendly staff. Food was pretty standard.

Two thumbs up for the haggis nachos, fantastic! 🤩

Food was ok but way too pricey. Barman was very pleasant.

When I was in (a Sunday evening), it was quiet in the bar, but the restaurant was fully booked. I tried the chicken cajun tagliatelle. It's the first time I've seen it on a menu. I must admit, it was delicious. The warmth of the cajun spices, mixed with lots of chicken pieces, peppers, and onions. If you get a chance, try it

Barman was a bit grumpy, food was typically pub grub and quite expensive for what it was but overall we enjoyed it.

Nice large bar on the harbour at Campbelltown. Good pub food, which can be enjoyed in either the bar or restaurant, nice selection of beers and whiskies.

Very pleasant, comfortable, friendly pub down by the harbour. Possibly part of the adjacent Royal Hotel?

Sehr unfreundlich, als wir bestellen wollten war angeblich nichts mehr da. Wir sind wieder gegangen

Rather dire. New owners have lots to do.

Lovely bar to go to, for a drink or good food from the menu.

Enjoyed a lovely meal here with my family. The food was so fresh and delicious, the kids menu is also great. The staff are also very friendly and accommodating!

Lovely food, great portions. Bar man was lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Would 100% go back. Thank you

Hoora good time had, was nice to have a relaxing time and a few drinks and food, with great company, made to feel welcome, had a nice time

Came across the Black Sheep on New Years day. It was really busy. The barman was friendly and really hard working. The locals were fabulous. We ate here and it was amazing. We loved it so much we returned the same evening.

Friendly, chatty bar guy who was keen to help and make reccomendations.Several vegan choices for me so went for the vegan pizza. Easily the fullest vegan pizza I've ever had! Loads of veggi and meat alternative toppings and loads of vegan cheese. They even gave me a box to take almost half of it home in as it was so generous and filling! Would go back as it's a lovely wee bar to sit in for a drink too.

I liked this place, nice staff, a good quality of tea and Coffee. We had a Scone, cream and Jam. Only down side was the cream was spray cream and not clotted cream, but the fruit Scone was really nice...

Excellent service and a great pint 👍

Opening hours nothing like on Google maps. Need updating as closed much earlier than expected hours.

Bit pricey but aimed at US visitors

I personally like my nachos with still some crunch left and chips I add salt to if I want to. However if you like your nachos soggy with tons of cheese with no crispness left in them at all and chips served really really salty then you will love this place. Personally I liked neither. But staff and service and drinks were great.

Die Bedienung war sehr nett und auskunftsfreudiges. Die Bedienung schnell und preislich im oberen Niveau. Sehr gute Lage direkt am Hafen.

THE MOST DELICIOUS FISH AND CHIPS! YUM-YUM👌

Phenomenal Food and service. I really loved the haggis.

Very friendly barman beautiful views over the loch towards Arran

Great little bar on the harbour. The best service, would highly recommend

Great food, would advise booking for the weekends. We always try and eat hear when we visit.

Good pub food at reasonable prices. A large selection of beverages and some nice local drinks too. Bar area is clean and well kept with clean toilets. Staff service is good however our order was taken incorrectly but this was promptly sorted so no harm done. Worth a visit if in town

Fabulous food and lovely staff ... would give them 10 stars if I could

Poor service. Food used to be nice steak and seafood now burgers and pizza. Drinks are the dearest in Campbell. But wine cheap as they forgot to put it on our bill. The only good thing about it.

Great atmosphere Graham Ellis was so amazing at his job great asset to the hotel will definitely be back next time I'm in town

Perfekt .... freundlich .... guter Preis

Struggling for staff and food below standards. Partially heated soup and half frozen fish. Obviously unable to adhere to microwave instructions.

Good service. Good ale selection.

Nice little pub with a varied menu of generous and tasty offerings. Good selection of drinks on draught and friendly service.

Had to wait too long for lunch but once we got it the food was very good. This was a very busy pub.

Nice meal and pint good service and friendly surroundings

UNBELIEVABLE "SERVICE"! I entered the pub at 8:15 pm and asked if I could still get some food. The barman said that he will have to check as the kitchen closes at 9!? He then poured 2 beers for some of the 4(!) people sitting at the bar. After 3 minutes with me standing in front of him, he finally called the kitchen and told me that I can get food and handed me the menu. I had a quick look and told him what I wanted to order. He said he would have to finish pouring the beers first and then come back to me. After 5 more minutes (still standing right in front of this person) I left this place.

Was a nice wee stopping place after a long drive down to Campbelltown. Was clean, staff were friendly, food was fine.

Excellent service, great food, very generous portions! Had a lovely time out with family for a few drinks & a meal.

Lovely place and friendly staff abbie was really helpful

Excellent real ale and very helpful and professional bar staff.

Nice pub barman made us very welcome, will return again

A big improvement on the bar it used to be.

Ok but disappointed that last orders were called at 10pm on a Friday night

Great wee pub, food really nice. Staff really friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Food was excellent & the staff polite & welcoming.

Very friendly and professional help from the barkeeper, ordered food, was warned that the portions were big, he wasn't lying. He forgot to say that the food was excellent, well done!

Popped in for lunch whilst exploring the area and thoroughly enjoyed it. Sat outside with the dogs looking over the harbour. The barman was excellent - really courteous and attentive. Food was a very good standard. Definitely recommend.

Great food and service from barman first class. Interesting clientele, overheard a conversation from a visitor who was paddle boarding to Portpatrick. When asked by the barman how he would navigate, he replied, " Head out to that bulbous rock/island and hang a right!" Never heard Ailsa Craig described in such a manner. Still it was a fairly accurate description. Best part was the response from the barman " Fair play to you?" Well worth the visit.

Excellent food and good service. Prices were probably a wee bit above average for the area but still well worth it.

Nice pub with great food. Let's hope for mor local beers in the future and also more real alea.

Enjoyed my visit poor barman had to cope on his own

Nice bar, friendly staff and right next to the marina.

Nice pub with nice tables outside overlooking the Campbeltown harbour. Great food.

Nice to sit outside and Watch the world go by

Good service..average food, the menu is typical pub grub.
