The Tartan Tavern, Oban

I was pleased to discover that this has re-opened, as it was always one of my favourite Oban pubs. Although it has been refurbished, it hasn't changed fundamentally and is still the same welcoming and unpretentious local it was before. Prices are reasonable, with Guinness at £3.50 a pint and Tennent's lager at £3.10. McEwan's Export, Caledonia Best and Heverlee lager are also on draught.

Now under new ownership the pub has been decorated well, a nice place for a pint, with friendly staff, and a good bunch of locals, and if you wish to eat you can use the oban steakhouse across the road.:-)
