The Oban Inn in Argyll & Bute

I loved this traditional pub. Make sure you nip in for some Haggis and a pint of local ale (or scotch). Downstairs dog friendly, but not upstairs. Outside sitting with a view

We loved the place, for a drink before and another after dinner. Very local, friendly staff, cold beers, great whisky

Have not had a meal here so I have not filled in the star rating for that although I drink cider and I have always had a great pint.

This is an old classic Scottish pub with a full bar, beer on tap and some bar food. Had had the mac-n-cheese with the optional garlic bread.

Very old building and establishment. Light drink pours but is typical in scotland

Traditional old pub, serving pub grub

Another good bar in oban, very old place. Pours of whisky were not the best

Excellent steak pie! They served very quickly and it was very tasty. I recommend.

Great small town traditional pub with friendly patrons.

Absolutely loved this pub. We managed to squeeze in, as it was rammed full but that all contributed to the atmosphere with live music too. They have a fantastic selection of Whisky, which we enjoyed sampling. Would definitely go back when next in Oban.

A very busy pub in the heart of Oban that serves excellent good, the stake pies, cheese macaroni and chowder were particularly good. Good selection of beers and wines.

Food is good but compared to last year the quality wasn't the same. Well priced and very cosy which compensate a bit.

We only had drinks but a pleasant enough time out. but the staff could do with a lesson on how to engage with patrons.

Good pub with the fine ale really good.

Great Inn, lovely atmosphere, excellent mince and tatties, authentic and delicious, came with a good selection of fresh vegetables.

Fantastic old pub in Oban (possibly my favourite in the town.) Fantastic ambience due to the decor, atmosphere and lighting. Great service too, the barman was most helpful on advising me where to get a curry! The Guinness was very nice. Lots of variety of whiskeys as you’d expect. Serves food. Highly recommended!! 🍻 🥃 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A nice atmosphere with very good gastronomy. A huge selection of whiskey invites you to try it or you can stay overnight in the hotel of the same name.

Nice old local. The food looks I didn't partake .Good Atmosphere and excellent selection of beer's and spirits .Well worth a visit

Unfortunately we missed the chance to eat here. However, the dishes on the other tables looked like very good pub food. The beer and whiskey selection is very good. There is something for every taste. The audience was diverse and the atmosphere was great.

Was great to experience a quintessential Scottish pub. We were fortunate enough to have a couple singing and performing traditional folk songs. Service was friendly. It's a small place and crowded quickly, but this just added to the cosy atmosphere

Fantastic little pub, great atmosphere 💪

Quaint and authentic pub. Even as a foreigner, I felt more at home there within minutes than in many other pubs back home. Good selection of beers and whiskeys. Food good. You quickly came into contact with the guests. When a musician came with a guitar and everyone sang along, I didn't want to leave. This is how I imagine a real pub.

The only Scottish pub I know, that wasn't showing the Scotland game.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥺

Perfect Scottich pub with authentic decor and a wide selection for food a drink would certainly recommend

Oldest pub in Oban. Great atmosphere, met some lovely folk. Dog's welcome, and they have water and dog treats at the entrance. Friendly service from the bar staff. Live music upstairs.

Such a cozy spot with great food! Definitely recommend the chicken and leek pie.

One of my favorite bars in the world. The place just feels historic. Great backdrop for a Tennents and a dram or 3.

Fun pub experience. Only ordered whisky and beer. I went twice while visiting Oban. Downstairs is crowded and fun. There is also a more spacious bar on the second floor.

Great, busy pub for a drink when visiting. Can get full with tourists so may be difficult to get a seat.

Service was excellent, food was lovely,only complaint was one of staff on receiving tip of 3pounds said he could get a pix and mix or mixture for that nowadays,, not sure if he was joking

At least we got in here to eat. Many places were booked up for days in advance mid week in October. Food was average. Why do restaurants in Scotland not offer lamb or salmon?? The salmon is always smoked.

Has become my go-to pub when in Oban. Always a friendly, lively atmosphere any evening of the week. Beer is well kept and choice of cask ales changes. Staff are attentive and ensure the "guy from out of town' is served.

Great place... Nice beer garden.

Great beer. Great music. Great atmosphere. Outdoors seating as well

A great location inside and out. There are certainly cheaper beers, ciders and whiskeys in town, but it's the atmosphere that makes it. Not only tourists but also locals can be found here...

A real Scottish pub atmosphere. That's what you'll find at the Oban Inn. What a pleasure to immerse yourself in this place, enjoying fish and chips (the best in Scotland) and a beer sitting on a comfortable bench. A warm place that I highly recommend. You just have to be lucky to find a place there.

What can I say, the best whiskey I've ever drunk

Great pub nice old style pub with lots of character, it has a lounge area upstairs. Food is Available. Friendly staff

Great pub serving draught beer. Generally busy and great atmosphere. Haven't tried the food.

Old bar feels.. but place needs renovating

A Scottish pub. Impossible to understand what they are saying. But we know that it's more than nice and warm.

We really wanted to find a decent independent and authentic pub and this is just that. Friendly service, bustling atmosphere and a proper pub. Worth a visit.

Live music and good drinks. What else do you need?! Great spot in Oban.

Excellent pub! Great music, and a warm atmosphere.

Lovely polite staff excellent clean food and drinks

Nice pub, but watch out for their dynamic pricing… pints can be almost £1 more expensive when compared to previous orders

Pub with the perfect Guinness 😍 In the small part on the ground floor with stone flooring and maps as wallpaper you can feel the atmosphere of a real pub and I preferred it to the lounge area on the upper floor which is much quieter. It also has an outdoor space overlooking the port. It is frequented by both locals and tourists.

All very good and with a familiar and welcoming environment.

Great pub with a friendly atmosphere.

The Fish & Lentil Soup can’t be beat. Fantastic! We had never tried haggis and with turnips & mash potatoes it was really good. We knew it was traditional Scottish dish & how it was made but it do taste good! The breaded Whitby scampi—-Skip it. That’s breaded minced tiny shrimp & cod or other whitefish but not enough to make a good mouthful unless you factor in the breading. Fellows next table had a huge steak pie & fish & chips & we were jealous. Prices are reasonable and service was fast & cordial. Lots of local folks & tourists hefting beer but tables opened up quickly. Clean, & good atmosphere. Yes we would go back.

Someone confused his brown rain jacket with my black Kilimanjaro rain jacket. Please bring it back and pick up your own by tomorrow, Tuesday, no later than 1:00 p.m. Thank you very much! I'll ask at 1:00 p.m. I'm glad there was only a pen in my jacket. In the strange jacket that was left behind there are many used tissues and 2 coins. Otherwise, the restaurant is absolutely recommended! Food and drink plentiful and good! I'll leave my phone number with the Oban Inn in case the jacket hasn't been returned by 1pm tomorrow. Later exchange may be possible. Thanks a lot.

We ate a very good steak pie in a very Scottish atmosphere.

A popular dog friendly pub overlooking the harbour in Oban. I visited with my family (my husband, three grown up children and my youngest child (7)) on a weekday evening while on holiday in the area. The staff were welcoming, accommodating and friendly despite being very busy. We chose to eat here and were not disappointed. The menu was typically 'pub classics' with a separate children's menu. While there is no parking on site, there is plentiful parking nearby along the harbour or in the town. This is payable up to 6pm when it is free.

I've been here a few times now when I'm in Oban, a nice pub with a good atmosphere.

We had such a nice time here! Spotless conversations with other visitors and staff. Delicious food and drinks!

A great place for a drink and food, staff very friendly.

Small, yet cosy and well frequented pub.

Haggis, tatties and neaps with a whisky sauce. Absolutely beautiful. This is a very lovely little pub but don't let the small size fool you. They have extra seating upstairs. Lovely atmosphere and loads of good food on the menu. The macaroni cheese was also 10/10.

Great bar, large selection and great staff. We were lucky enough to have live music and a great atmosphere

What a great wee pub, if your looking to try different whiskeys they're a go to. Good choice of food and snacks menu.

Excellent cozy bar! We stopped in and had drinks (wine and beer) and delicious food. The service was quick and friendly, and the temperature inside was comfortable! Loved the decor inside too! We will definitely be back! Food was the best!!

Great wee pub with a friendly and great staff

Typical Scottish pub, but cozy. Very friendly employees. Only outside is rarely cleared away and the shell ashtrays should also be cleaned every now and then.

They got a guitar, that's like the number one thing I need when I'm streaming

An old pub that serves food. We just had a drink here as we were going elsewhere. Nice place . Staff were good.

Best pub in Oban... Great selection of whiskey and perfectly fine beer. The food great. The staff engaged and positive. Lovely atmosphere...

Loved it! The beers were great, we also had the TV on to watch the Olympics, how were the music was just really loud, but other than that, fantastic pub!

Have eaten here previously but just drinks this time. Lovely staff and great service.

Busy pub at prime location ran by friendly staff. Good food but nothing to shout about. Also good selection of beverages. Would recommend.

Didn't have food, but it looked good. One of the best pubs in Oban great staff and atmosphere.

Good honest public house with seating outside the front and dog friendly outside. Nice prices for drinks an snacks, would definitely go again

My credit card number was stolen here yesterday and used for fraudulent charges in Oban and then London. Luckily my card company blocked a 400+ charge at a club in London. I was never charged for my food here but instead staff who took my card likely took down the card info. Food was excellent, stolen card number was not.

This place has ruined calamari for me! Legit the best calamari I have ever had and probably ever will! Still dreaming about it 🤤

Nice atmosphere, good beers. You can sit outside and watch.

Fantastic time the last time i went to the Oban Inn, a guy in the corner belting out songs on his guitar, lively atmosphere, brilliant!!😎👌💯

Curry and lasagna were a hit. Only the coffee wasn't particularly good, but that can be forgiven. Location and prices are great and therefore definitely a recommendation!

This place was amazing the staff hands. Down nothing beats them. The management on other hand are not the best horrible to there staff gave them no social life and made them feel bad for having days off just watch out the smile is real from your servers too you but is actually angry towards the higher ups.

Good pub to watch the game. No frills but tasty food. The bartender up top recommended a very good whiskey to me from the Isle of Mull. Can't recall the name but ask for a dram of it.

Excellent pub. Full of characters. Folk from everywhere. Right in the heart of Oban. Great service from amusing staff. I had a meal that was fresh and tasty.

A small historic pub right in the centre of Oban. Inside it has very friendly locals but also welcomes visitors. Though inside us very small, there is often plenty of seating outside.

Smashing traditional pub with live music and good choices of beers and other drinks

Amazing macaroni cheese and lovely busy atmosphere. Dog friendly and nice staff, a winner for a random choice a night before a ferry to mull. Would have liked more 0% beer/spirits but it is a Scottish pub so fair enough!!

Great pub with great staff. Didn't eat here, but the pies looked amazing!

A great pub with good food and service.

Great evening there last night. Live music was a blast and the atmosphere was lovely and fun.

What a great bar with friendly staff. Food was excellent and a nice sit put area with view of harbour... albeit close to main road. We had Mussels mariniere and scampi and chips which was fresh and delicious.

The food here was quite nice. We sat outside - so it has nice views of the water. It is a very busy pub and you have to order at the bar. We ate the fish and chips that came with peas and corn and mac and cheese and I got them to sub the french fries with sweet potato fries, both of which were pretty good.

Alright if you get a seat outside but when you go for a drink people are sitting eating at the bar, they should be made sit at a table, upstairs too crammed l wouldn't like to see a fire break out in there 😭

One of the best pubs in Oban. Great food, great beers, great service.. and especially great view on the Oban harbor from the terrace

Terrible experience, very unfriendly and rude staff. Worst pub in all of Oban

Ambience 1000 stars. The Oban Inn - even more extreme - great music, great atmosphere with older and younger people. We were there twice.

One of the better pubs in town for atmosphere and sheer being busy. Would have eaten but with ZERO vegan options sadly could not

Cozy little pub. Lots of choice in whisky.

This is what you imagine a Scottish pub is! Friendly travelers, flirty staff and great pub fare!

Outstanding old inn with great Scottish fare, we are traveling on our first trip through Scotland and had hoped to get some good local food. Walked by this pub, it was busy downstairs but the bartender mentioned they had a second level where we found some seats. They had a mouthwatering fish pie, with mashed potatoes. And traditional haggis. Also an apple pie that was to die for. Reasonable prices, and friendly service. Would definitely recommend!

A great pub with a good selection of beers. We didn't eat but the food coming out looked good.

Wonderful atmosphere on two floors.

Not too much space in the restaurant as soon as a place becomes available it is taken immediately. We ate very well. Too bad you have to order at the counter. Otherwise the service is good with a smile and the dishes are well cooked. I recommend this restaurant.

Cosy downstairs bar area, very friendly and excellent vibe

Had some drinks here, the passion fruit martinis from the tap were surprisingly nice.
