The Balloch House is a large dominating building on the east side of the River Leven. This 3-star hotel has an extensive menu of drink available. Cask Ales such as Doom Bar ale from Cornwall – British Craft Beers such as Hiver Blonde Honey Beer from West Sussex, Hawkes Ginger beer from London & beers. From the Thornbridge brewery such as Thornbridge Lucas a traditional Bavarian style lager, Thornbridge Jaipur an American style IPA & Thornbridge Versa a British take on a German wheat beer. Bottles lagers there is a choice of Peroni & Corona. Ciders available are Bulmers, Hawkes Urban Orchard & 2 choices of Old Moat. 8 choices of Gin. 7 choices of Whisky with the menu describing the taste. There is plenty of choices of food available and rooms to book. The train station is a few hundred yards to the west and is a termination point from Glasgow to visit the Balloch area.

Graham Coombs left this review about Balloch House

Large and historic Vintage Inn by side of river with comfortable bar and adjoining restaurant. There is another less-interesting eating room to the rear and a decked outdoor area, with large car park to the rear. Three handpumps with changing beers (and Cask Marque listed) but still more of an eatery than a drinking pub.
