Hotel and Restaurant.

Risen from the ashes of a fire several years ago, the bar was rebuilt using much of the original timber and is now more spacious than the previous building. Ideally located in the centre of town, it is handy for shops, buses and ferries to the outer isles.

Busy in the early evening after work, it is also a lively part of the night scene at weekends. A range of Orkney and Swannay brewery beers is available in high season but the beer range is restricted in winter. WiFi available.

A premium is paid when buying half-pints.

Information for this venue is provided by the Aberdeen Grampian & N Isles Branch of CAMRA
