Arch Inn, Ullapool

*** 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! ***.

In 1788 the British Fisheries Society commissioned Thomas Telford to design a village and port for the emerging herring fishery and it is believed that the property which became The Arch Inn in 1973 was one of the first to be built in Ullapool and was also an Inn and store for fishermen and fish curers.

Very popular with locals and visiting tourists either staying in Ullapool, or passing through, the busy bar offers a warm welcome and two Cairngorm hand pumps.

The menu is complimented by daily specials board which includes locally sourced seafood.

Regular music nights with Scottish folk, local bands and stand-up acts. Including some “names” known on the radio & TV.

Ullapool represents an excellent base to explore the wild and picturesque West coast of Scotland and being so close to the ferry terminal, a great place to spend the night on the way to, or from, Stornoway and the Western Isles.
