The Corryvreckan (JD Wetherspoon), Oban

The name is taken from the famous whirlpool between the nearby Hebridean islands of Jura and Scarba where George Orwell almost lost his life while living on Jura writing 1984. In most respects, it's a typical Wetherspoons pub with a huge selection of beers, including six from hand pumps, and food at reasonable prices. The building is modern, with a large, square shaped and rather barn like interior. The most appealing feature is the view of Oban Bay, with its ferries to the islands, fishing boats and pleasure craft, which can be enjoyed from the two beer gardens at either side or through the plate glass windows at the front. It's also close to Oban station, so is the ideal place for a quick drink if you're waiting for either the train or the boat.

One roomed Wethy's with all the usual fixtures and fittings and understaffing behind the bar. Not over keen on this one although the outside area offers good views across the bay.

A very nice new pub in a very nice setting. Disabled friendly, family friendly, good food and drink all served with a smile, well managed by the very friendly helpfull manager Brad Maclean. :-)
