The Corryvreckan (JD Wetherspoon), Oban

Large barn-like structure owned by Wetherspoon's next to the ferry port and the railway and bus stations. With only 3 other pubs serving real ale in the town and with much lower prices than elsewhere, I was unsurprised to see that this place was very busy. However, it was also far too noisy and boisterous for my liking. A few people were in for meals. Others were there to simply get bladdered, seemingly competing with one another to see who could shout the loudest. Greene King Abbot & Sharp's Doom Bar are the regular ales. Guests were Greene King IPA and the seasonal Elgood's Berry Xmas Everyone, Rudgate Evil Elf & Otter Claus. One of only 2 places in Scotland I found serving any real ales from England (not that I was particularly looking for them), all of the beers were pretty bland and uninspiring. By all means come here for the best real ale selection in town, but if you want a proper pub choose pretty much anywhere else instead.

Nice location on harbour front, in small retail area adjoining the station. Modern, bright pub
