The Oban Inn, Oban

As at the end of August 2011, The Oban Inn still had its pub sign and beer adverts on the outside walls, but was, unfortunately, still closed.

I agree that this WAS the best pub in Oban, but when I tried to go back to it in June 2010, it had closed down. There were shutters on the doors and windows and it was surrounded by scaffolding. I asked in the Harbour Bar across the road whether it was likely to be re-opening as a pub, but the barman didn't know. Let's hope it does.

Having been to Oban Twice, I always end up at Oban Inn.Great Atmosphere, Good Food,Good Service.Best Pub In Oban!!! Oh, how I love Oban........

Really two pubs in one building. The lower pub is a local for many of the Oban fishermen. It is small and quite rustic. Upstairs is more plush and is decorated with over a dozen stained glass windows depicting local heraldry. The local mussels are particularly good and the selection of whiskeys is excellent. Standard beers and usually one or two real ales. Must see if you are in Oban.
