Ferry Boat Inn, Ullapool

Restaurant & rooms *** Highlands & Western Isles pub opening and food service times currently vary nearly on a day-to-day basis, mostly dependent on establishments' access to bar and waiting staff. Hence you will almost certainly see different times than those published here. Please DO NOT send updates to either opening or food service times, as trying to hit a moving target is a waste of our very limited resources. Instead, overall opening and restaurant times will be updated at the next full survey. Your understanding is appreciated. We welcome notifications of 'dog friendliness' however four legs good, two legs better. As you might imagine for a website called WhatPub, the main aim is to highlight the quality of ales. Thus, please include an assessment of a pub's beer(s) when you notify us of its cynophile status! ***.

The Ferry Boat Inn is situated on the shore road leading to the ferry terminal, just a 5 minute walk. You are allowed to take your beer outside and sit on the harbour wall. A deserved reputation for well-priced food in the Blue Kazoo Seafood Restaurant.

Nigel and Franner took over on 1 March 2014 and pride themselves on having 4 real ales in the season including permanent ale Deuchars IPA plus Thatchers Heritage Real Cider.

Live music all year round: Wednesday - open mic, Thursday - traditional music. March to October - live acoustic music at the weekend.

Sister pub is the Argyll, also in Ullapool. Please note: Opening and food serving times may vary out of season.

[Update 13 Sept 2024: Report of no real ale.]
